I am responding to your recent commentary regarding the need for a Shop Delight Supermarket on Middle Neck Road, I might add, approximately one half mile from their existing store.
You imply, that the main reason for rejection, was due to the late filing of the amended application.
Perhaps, I might add some accuracies for this rejection.
Issues that he was to address are rather lengthy, but quite relevant, and thus I will list them: Vehicular traffic on Middle Neck Road, and other streets in the vicinity, specifically Beverly Road, vehicular traffic on site, parking, both on-site and off-site, pedestrian traffic and safety, both on-site, and off-site, noise from operations, deliveries,loading, unloading, as well as bottle return facility, filth , and vermin from operations, deliveries, loading, unloading, and bottle return facility, impact of these previously mentioned operations on village code enforcement department, in light of the Applicant’s existing location in neighboring Village of Great Neck Plaza, impact on emergency response vehicles, accessing and operating on-site and in close proximity to site. Garbage and refuse containment and handling ( I call your attention to their present location), impact of all of the foregoing concerns on residents who live in close proximity, or next to the site, in addition to all of the mentioned concerns, as they apply to the applicant’s existing location in Great Neck Plaza, his intent to channel deliveries of equipment, material, and inventory for the proposed location through the Plaza location.
As well, the mayor of Kensington, and their trusties, unanimously rejected this project in its entirety. In addition to many of Kensington’s residents. Nobody is disputing the need for stores in the entire village being occupied, but not surely at the expense of the communities deserved way of life!
