The future of the Alpine Resort Lodge in Egg Harbor will remain unresolved until February, following the first court hearing on Tuesday.

Last month, ten Egg Harbor residents filed a restraining order against the Village of Egg Harbor, its Zoning Board of Appeals, and Sagorac Enterprises LLC to stop the possible demolition of the lodge.

At the hearing, Sagorac’s attorney, Andrew Rossmeissl, requested about 30 days to file a response. Village attorney Tyler Pluff agreed, noting that while the village believes it has a complete record, questions about who has legal standing in the case still need to be addressed.

Judge David Weber also asked attorney Jessica Puetz about her clients’ security for damages, which under state law requires a bond to cover potential costs if an injunction is later found to be unjustified. Puetz said her clients had not yet posted a bond but asked if they could file when the village submits the record, which Pluff hopes is done by January 5th.

A status conference is scheduled for February 2nd at 10 a.m.
