Fuji site on Route 17 in Hasbrouck Heights, following a Planning Board vote on October 7. Board members weighed noise, traffic, and zoning variances, while also ruling on two separate residential applications, including denying a two-family home on Washington Place and approving plans for 513 Boulevard.
