SPRING LAKE HEIGHTS- The Spring Lake Heights Land Use Board met Wednesday to discuss the proposed Dunkin’ drive-thru at the corner of Route 71 and New Jersey Avenue, but had to carry the application after around three hours of testimony.
The applicant, Ronak Donuts LLC, provided testimony by their architect, traffic engineer and site plan engineer. This testimony did include new traffic data presented, after requests were made by the board at the Oct. 16, 2024 meeting discussing the application. Residents were able to ask questions after each expert testimony, with around 40 members of the public coming out to question the proposed drive-thru addition to the existing Dunkin’ at the location. The most common questions by residents were traffic and safety, as well as noise concerns.
Testimony was unable to be completed by 10 p.m. due to lengthy discussion, resulting in the board carrying the application to their March 12 meeting.
A public comment session is expected to be permitted at the next meeting.
