We, the undersigned, request a denial of the application for zoning variances for a 50-foot hotel at the "old Pizza Hut" site on 1545 U.S. Highway 46, Fort Lee, New Jersey.

Fifty feet is too tall a structure for the area, would significantly impact property values, cause noise, light and litter pollution and water runoff, as well as traffic and crime issues. It would be highly detrimental to the quality of life in the quiet "Highwood Hills" residential area of Leonia, New Jersey.

Please deny the use change in this C5 Highway Development Zone to a hotel use, and ensure that anything built on the property be in keeping with the nature of the neighborhood, be no taller than 35 feet and stay within set-back rules.

Thank you.
