Steve Lynch concerning the proposed Sunoco at Wal-Mart, after review of traffic and local concerns the decision was made by the applicant to table the application and revise the site plans, instead of potentially receiving a positive declaration under SEQR which we told them we would recommend to the Planning Board if the current site plan was submitted to the Board for action at this time. A DRC meeting will be held on 2/6/02 with the applicant, and both traffic consultants and site engineers to go over site plan issues. The meeting was requested by the applicant.
