- Target:
- Hamilton, NJ Township
- Region:
- United States of America
- Popeye's Restaurant is planning to construct a 427 square foot addition and add a drive-through window.
- Fast-food restaurants are not permitted in this Community Commercial zone (they are grandfathered in), and therefore are requesting a variance for the expansion as well as an exemption for off-street loading.
- This location is 1100' from a School and Church, zoning laws prohibit fast food to with in 1500' feet of either.
- There will no longer be a loading area for the building on site and must use Winslow Avenue.
- Entrance from Nottingham Way will be in one direction only now, as you will not be able to make a left turn from Nottingham.
- Winslow Avenue will serve as an entrance and the only exit point.
- Patrons who are unaware of the new traffic pattern and cannot turn left into Popeye's will be forced to drive through our neighborhood to reach the Winslow entrance (Nottingham to Crescent to Fenwood to Winslow).
- In addition, vehicles will also use Fenwood Avenue off of Route 33 to turn on to Winslow to enter Popeye's.
Our concerns:
- Public Safety as result of increased traffic.
- Public health, we do not want our children exposed to this unhealthy food. We have enough fast food near by.
- excessive traffic
- deterioration of streets
- safety of residents, especially our children
- increased noise, light, odor and litter pollution
- loss of parking on our residential streets
- depreciation in property value.
We, the undersigned, call on the Township of Hamilton NJ to not grant approval of applied for variances and to not grant any additional zoning leniency to Popeyes.
To also not allow Popeyes to expand into a drive through restaurant in its current location.
