The town board room was crowded on Tuesday, July 27, despite the fact that the re-scheduled hearing on the Kimco-King Kullen application for a change of zone had been postponed. Many of those in attendance had not received word of the postponement but there were many others present for different hearings. At the opening of the meeting Supervisor May Newburger made a statement, saying: "Concerning the Kimco hearing, yesterday the town board received a revised report from the Nassau Planning Commission. It included changes which require discussion and thought. Therefore it would be inappropriate to consider this application tonight. I move to continue at a later date." The board voted 5-0 in favor of the continuation at another, unspecified date. FULL STORY
