In reference to tabling thet proposal, Assistant Law Director Dubelko stated that since the Commission just'. : found out that the property had to be split, it would not be unreasonable to ask the developer to table this again. Mr. Acciarri agreed to-table the building plans, but reminded the Comnission that he had been before them for months. A representative from Lakewood Federal Savings and Loan spoke from the audience stating that they are concerned that this proposal would exit across their property and would create a bottle neck in the area.
