Sandman ysV Bank LOWER.TWP. - According to published account, property on which former Cong. Charles Sandman is seeking zoning changes to make his land mdre profitable is involved in a bank foreclosure actibn. Sandman reportedly u$ed eight building lots near his Erma Park home as partial.collateral on a $1.9 million mortgage for his Two Mile Inn restaurant. When he allegedly missed a mortgage payment, the entire mortgage 'became due. FIRST PEOPLES BANK began foreclosure proceedings against Sandman several months ago, but Sandman has, in turh, filed suit against the bank's attorney, alleging that Joseph Tpso told a developer about the pending foreclosure thereby queering a $3 million condominium deal. Sandman has been before Lower Tow^hlp officials seeking a zoning changeMo allow for condominium construction in the Marine Development zone where his restaurant is located. He is also seeking smaller lot sizes in the Ertna Park development, contending the old zoning ordinance under whichihis subdivision was approved didn't require lots as large as under the new ordihance. IN HIS SUIT against attorney Tuso, Sandman alleges the bank had instructed ' Tuso to release.the eight lots^o Sandman could convey clear tjtle to buyers and use the money for the bank mortgag^but that Tuso delayed and told the buyer's attorney Sandman couldn’t provide clear titl* As for the allegation concerning the condominium dea> Sandman asserts that by informing the developer about the foreclosure. Tuso in effect was signaling the developer that if he waited, he could obtain the property for less. Sandman, wno has publicly said Two Mile couldn't reopen next season without the condominium approval, was planning to use the mohey from the condominium sale to pay off the mortgage.
