An application to build a dock on the bay off Leeward Avenue in Beach Haven has been withdrawn, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection. Last June, the engineering firm of Horn, Tyson & Yoder sent a letter to all property owners within 200 feet that outlined the project. According to the engineers, Karl Strom proposed installing a 4-foot by 60-foot dock parallel to the bulkhead, two outshore boatlifts (12 feet by 20 feet and 12 feet by 14 feet), and a 25-linear-foot perpendicular breakwater projecting into Liberty Thorofare.

State takeover of Lakewood schools clears judicial hurdle | Exclusive

The judge issued a ruling last month denying the district’s request to have the hostile intervention stopped. The ruling, which the district immediately challenged with an appeal, was issued Oct. 1 but only made public this week.
