Ramapo planners to adopt 'positive' declaration on Monsey Wal-Mart
The Town of Ramapo Planning Board is expected tonight to adopt a positive environmental declaration for the proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter at the former Rockland Drive-In Theater site in Monsey.
The declaration would mean that National Realty & Development Corp. of Purchase, which is seeking to build a single, 35-foot-high building on the 22-acre site for use as a 215,000-square-foot Wal-Mart, would have to do a complete study on the proposal and how it would affect, among other things, traffic, the environment and other businesses.
An existing 99,000-square-foot Wal-Mart in Airmont is less than half the size of the proposed Monsey store. The Monsey store would contain a full-service grocery store, which would compete with the nearby Pathmark; a 1,750-square-foot gas station; a tire and lubrication service area; and 992 parking spaces. The site rests next to land owned by the state Department of Transportation that was promised to Spring Valley and the town for parkland.
The proposed Wal-Mart would be built near a senior center complex and two apartment houses.

Capital proposal, I'm all for it.
Maybe they should construct it on New Hempstead Rd instead of the farkakteh yeshivah.
