been cancelled . There was no new information to be presented

Otto Schoenfeld requested review of his plans for the
Burleigh Drive area of Wellington Park . and asked for a recommenda -
tion from the Planning Board before going ahead with plans .
Area residents are requesting that Sandra Road not be completed ,
since they wish to prevent the flow of through traffic through
this area and wish to keep it residential and prevent further
commercial development . Mr . Joseph Di Giacomo , of Williamsburg
Park Associates , proposed delaying the completion of Sandra Road
until a constituency develops in this area at which time the
Road could be finished if the residents felt there was a need for
it . A recommendation was also made that the road be completed
and then blocked off until the need for its use was apparent .
Mr . Scannell recommended that this matter be presented to
the Town Board . The Planning Board had already recommended to
the Town Board the construction of Sandra Road . If the Town Board
wishes to allow a temporary closure on Sandra Road after its
completion , The Planning Board will be in agreement with their
decision .
David Cowan reported to the Planning Board that the sign
for Kennelworth will be removed or appropriate legal actions will
be instituted .
Discussion was then held concerning the George Ideman
property . Mr . Cowan asked for a recommendation from the Planning
Board concerning the proper screening of this property . Mr .
Schwan recommended that Mr . Cowan report to Ideman that anything
that the P & C places outside for collection must be behind a
screenso that it is not visible from the road . It must be high
enough and wide enough to cover all types of refuse placed outside
for disposal .
