                By Notice of Disapproval, dated March 6, 2008, Applicant's building permit was denied.  The Building Inspector determined that the previous special use permit granted by the Board of Trustees has been extinguished for a period in excess of six (6) months. Therefore, applicant was required to seek a new special use permit from the Board of Trustees.  As a result, Applicant applied to the Board of Trustees for a special use permit.

                During the public hearing, the following representations were made by Applicant:

Applicant is proposing to reopen a restaurant in the building that was formerly Antolino Grill and before that Spontino Grill.

The proposed hours of operation are 11:00AM to 10:00PM Sunday through Thursday and 11:00AM to 11:00PM Friday and Saturday.

Garbage will be disposed of in a four-yard dumpster located in the rear of the shopping center. Pickups will be during the week during the middle of the day.

A referral of the application was made to the Nassau County Planning Commission on April 10, 2008.  The Nassau County Planning Commission has recommended that this Board take whatever action it deems appropriate. Based upon the evidence adduced at the public hearing, and the documentation submitted to the Board in support of the application, the Board makes the following findings of fact:
