Those yellow wooden horses at the Atlantic Highlands municipal harbor and the warning not to park there will continue to prohibit parking in that area for residents and visitors at least through September 28, then again for most of October, according to the lease signed between the harbor and Netflix’s Happy Hive Production.
And parking in the parking area closest to the tennis courts will also be blocked off for the general public until at least October 28.
The two parking area restrictions for use by Happy Hive Productions only are part of the agreement the Harbor Commission made with the filming company that also includes use of the former Shore Casino as a staging area, not for any food preparation or events.
The agreement which was written and signed after the Harbor Commission at its last meeting gave approval to a lease to be designed, sometime after it was approved, means an additional approximate $50,000 for the Harbor Commission. The terms include both parking areas, and the former Casino, with the building to be used for storage on several days, in addition to use on many days between September 24 and October 7. For the former Casino, the final use will be October 24 at 1 a.m.
Borough administrator Robert Ferragina also confirmed that a certificate of occupancy is not required for use of the former Shore Casino “since Netflix is not taking over complete control of the facility.”
There will be no overnight stays, he said nor will Netflix be using any kitchen equipment “This type of use does not qualify as an “occupancy” and therefore, a CO is not required,” the administrator confirmed.
However, he added, “as a proactive measure, the Borough arranged for inspections of the interior of the building to ensure safety. Both the Fire Marshal and the Code Enforcement Official inspected the premises and determined the building to be in good order.” Noting that the production company will not be using the kitchen facilities, he added they are planning on a food truck outside the building, and the required fire permit inspection has already taken place.
The lease, as signed by both the company location manager Louis Zuppardi and the Harbor Chairman Thomas Wall and dated September 19, allows for catering from September 29 through October 6 from 4 a.m. and October 20 through October 24 at 1 a.m.
It indicates the approximate timing for use of the former Casino will be primarily between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on most days, but from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. from September 29 through October 6 for “holding, catering” There is no work planned for October 8 through October 16, though the building will be used for storage at that time. Nor is any work planned for Saturday or Sunday, October 18 and 19.
The lease also gives the production company the right to request additional use days if needed, at the rate of $2,000 a day for the Casino, $2,000 a day for the parking lot by the tennis court when campers and trailers are there, and $500 per day for the parking lot if it is only crew cars at either lot.
While the filming company is providing insurance to cover any alleged damage, it also maintains the right to use the property at a later mutually agreed upon date should any death, default, natural disasters, or civil disturbances and other undetermined disputes or acts occur that requires the company to halt work in progress.
The filming company also reserves the right to have assistants at the parking areas September 28 and October 19 to ensure the specified parking areas will be open and red the following morning when their vehicles anticipate arriving. The catering truck for food will be parked on either side of the front doors of the Shore Casino on the days catering is used at the Casino.
