Last week, the Beach Haven Borough Council held off introducing an ordinance regulating private beach walkovers. The proposed ordinance would amend the current measure to require plantings and an irrigation system on the west side of the dunes as a condition of yearly approval. Twenty-one homeowners would be affected.

The seasonal walkovers are rolled-up mats that are 4 feet wide and vary in length from property to property. They extend to the toe of the dune, where the dune meets the flat beach.
