Red Bank’s planning board may decide Monday night whether to allow a developer to replace two vacant buildings at a major downtown intersection with a new four-story structure overlooking the Navesink River.
And on Thursday, the zoning board takes up a host of changes sought by the landlord for the Sickles Market Provisions store now under construction.

Up first is developer Mark Forman‘s plan for the northeast corner of Maple Avenue and West Front Street, next door to the borough library. He has proposed a four-story, 26,000-square-foot office and residential building with underground parking and a public plaza overlooking the river.
At the opening hearing on the plan, held June 4, Forman’s architect, Michael Monroe, said he would amend the proposal to accommodate concerns that the building was too big.
Monday’s meeting begins at 7 p.m. at borough hall, 90 Monmouth Street. Here’s the full agenda, which is also slated to include discussion about a proposed ordinance that would allow private property owners to lease lots for parking under certain conditions.
