The Sands Point Board of Trustees unanimously passed a resolution that will allow for the use of Thayer Lane as the main entrance/exit to the Village Club of Sands Point. At its May 9 meeting, the board formally adopted the Final Environmental Impact Statement prepared by Frederick P. Clark Associates and Atlantic Traffic and Design Engineers. The master plan will be amended to allow for the change in the club's entrance/exit. The intersection of Thayer Lane and Middle Neck Road will be regraded and reconstructed to increase sight visibility. The lane will be improved and utilized as the main access for a distance of approximately 1,800 feet before it will curve sharply to the south into the Village Club property. FULL STORY

At the meeting, attorney Peter Mineo, representing Lewis Oil, announced its intentions to create Port Plaza, a consolidated shopping plaza with Delco Plaza. Mr. Mineo also stated that Lewis Oil had been in touch with Grand Union, which, serving as an anchor, would relocate within the plaza and increase in size from 24,000 square feet to 69,000 square feet. In addition to the new Grand Union and the businesses at Delco, Port Plaza would feature other stores and two family-style restaurants. Before Lewis Oil can move ahead with its plans, it must first obtain a change of zone from the village, get approval of its site plan from the Planning Board, and receive site permits for the restaurants by the board of appeals.
