Peter Lusardi, Plaintiff, and June Bruett, Plaintiff-Intervenor-Appellant v. Curtis Point Property Owners…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the trial court’s modified judgment, holding that Brick Township’s zoning ordinance is invalid to the extent it prohibits owners of undeveloped oceanfront lots from using the dry sand beach areas primarily for recreational purposes, because the ordinance conflicts with a statewide policy encouraging public recreational access to ocean beaches.
