Will Ventnor Planning Board Protect St Leonard’s Deed Restrictions?

St. Leonard’s Association was established in 1921 to enforce deed restrictions and preserve a historic neighborhood of Ventnor.

St. Leonard’s Tract features more than 100 homes between the beach and bay from Surrey to Cambridge Ave in Ventnor.

Every so often, someone will take a shot at changing the rules a bit. Maybe get some ‘spot-zoning’ love from Ventnor Commissioner Lance Landgraf.

On Wed. January 8 at 6:30p, The Ventnor Planning Board will consider two variance applications. According to the St. Leonard’s Association: if these applications are approved, they could adversely affect the neighborhood.
