The proposed Dollar General at Route 9W and Mahoney Road was approved with flying colors.

Board member James Garofalo attempted to suggest a conditional approval that a 5-foot paved walkway be added opposite the front door in line with the accessible parking aisle from the sidewalk to the parking area for the mobility challenged.

“I hate to add things at the end, but all I can say is don’t blame the messenger because we’re really all at fault for not catching this earlier,” he said.

Luckily for all, the applicants had added the exact request on one of its many maps and was included on the SEQR Negative Declaration. With all other issues addressed, the Dollar General plan was unanimously approved, though board member Manny Cauchi was recused because of his status as the property’s neighbor.
