West Windsor Parkway, which is the same shopping center they have been in since 1959 when they opened Nathan’s Roadside Rest, is looking to move to a new, smaller location (“New location for Nathan’s,” July-3-9). They are planning on moving to the corner of Merle Ave and Long Beach Road and taking over a store known as I Love Shoes. They are asking the Town of Hempstead zoning board to waive the requirment to have 55 parking spots; the Merle Avenue location has none. They are looking to install a Dumpster for their food garbage next to a home located at 7 Merle Avenue, and they are asking the Town of Hempstead to approve a five-foot double illuminated wall sign, which will project over the roofline.

The residents of Merle Avenue have already started a petition against this move, however we need residents’ help. Call (516) 763-9177, or email the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce at info@oceansidechamber.org. Call Councilman Anthony Santino, or email him at asantino@tohmail.org, or go to the Board of Appeals website, www.toh.li/board-of-appeals/hearing-comment-form, and use their comment form .
