The DEIS’s have been reviewed at the same time, the public hearings were held at the same time etc. • This project also has a very long history, but an interesting caveat is that the Planning Board is the lead agency, but there is a rezoning decision that needs to be made by the Town Board. • Similar to the Parker Road project, when the Planning Board does receive the FEIS, it will follow the same kind of process where they are addressing all the substantive comments that have been submitted • There was a concern regarding wetlands impacts for this project which has now been amended.
