To the Editor:

The borough of Barnegat Light’s proposed amendment to its building code that would allow an additional 2 feet of height to new structures is a very bad idea.

It’s important to remember that it is not only an increase of 2 feet in height but it is also an increase of massing (2 feet of height times lengthtimes width of structure), which will have a dramatically negative impact on the environment, both visually and ecologically.
