Petrozzi v. City of Ocean City, A-1633-11T4; Appellate Division; opinion by Parrillo, P.J.A.D.; decided and approved for publication October 28, 2013. Before Judges Parrillo, Harris and Kennedy. On appeal from the Law Division, Cape May County, L-218-05. [Sat below: Judge Daryl Todd.] DDS No. 26-2-1766 [37 pp.]
These back-to-back appeals, consolidated for purposes of this opinion, concern an action brought by Ocean City beachfront property owners for breach of easement agreements obligating the township to maintain a dunes height restriction. Amendments to the Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA) in 1994 prevented Ocean City from reducing the height of the dunes by regulating dune maintenance.
