He agrees with getting O.D.O.T. in and having conversations with them. Mr. Spalding said he would echo those cominents and O.D.O.T. should be here. They need to see the lease agreement and need to see what O.D.O.T. will do directly. He told Mr. Block that he has been given many questions and recommendations by the audience. He said they need to go back to the drawing board and examine the entire proposal. He does not believe they will get an approval from the Planning Commission based on what has been said. W.

Mr. O'Malley said it is his opinion that the three votes carry the motion. The motion to table is approved. He then asked if the applicant has any expectation as to when he might return. Mr. Block indicated he has a meeting tomorrow and he will try to get an answer. Mrs. Kilbane indicated the next meeting is scheduled for July 22. The month of August is a vacation month for the board. The board will then meet on September 9 and September 23.
