Point Beach to Hold Public Sale of Cook's Lane Lot on Aug. 18

Point Beach will auction off a piece of land on the 300 block of Cook's Lane at 10 a.m. Aug. 18.

The auction will be held at the municipal building's second floor meeting room, 416 New Jersey Ave.

"There will be no minimum bid, but the borough reserves the right to reject any and all bids," according to a notice to bidders prepared by Municipal Clerk Maryann Ellsworth.

"A real estate broker or authorized representative providing a successful purchaser shall be paid a 4 percent commission upon closing of title as long as they are not the purchaser of the property subject to the provisions of NJSA 40A:12-13.1."

General bidding requirements are available by contacting the borough clerk at the municipal building "and may be acquired during business hours Monday through Friday."

There is a water-pumping building on that lot, listed as block 106, lot 7.01, next to the Jaeger Lumber Yard.

To remove the building and equipment, a buyer would need a demolition permit, said Borough Administrator Chris Riehl, adding there is also a utility pole with power that would need to come down.

For more information, call Borough Hall at (732) 892-1118, ext. 211 for the municipal clerk's office or (732) 892-8770 for the borough administrator's office.
