Monsey, NY - Ramapo Planning Board to adopt environmental statement on Wal-Mart
Monsey, NY - Before a proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter can be built at the site of the former Rockland Drive-In Theatre, the developer will have to provide detailed studies regarding the project and its effects on the surrounding area.
What must be studied will be determined Tuesday by Ramapo's Planning Board when it meets to adopt a draft environmental impact statement about the project, which would be built along a notoriously congested portion of Route 59.
National Realty & Development Corp. of Purchase wants to build a 215,000-square-foot store at the 22-acre site. The draft outline would require National Realty to complete a more comprehensive traffic study, as well as take into account community character, storm-water management, parking and air quality.
"It's exceeded what we thought but it's fair for a town to ask for a hard look," Jerrold Bermingham, managing director of the development company, said.
Opponents say the proposed store would have negative economic, environmental and traffic impacts.
