Banking Investment On Monday, the Planning Board took steps to rectify the problem. Board Member Louis D'Arienzo said the board agreed to hire a second traffic analyst to see if the first study holds water.

The Army said Friday it plans to begin destroying more than 2, 200 tons of nerve agents in Alabama early next month. The munitions, remnants of the Cold War, covered concrete bunkers about 60 miles east of Birmingham. The planned incineration at the Anniston Army Depot could be delayed by two lawsuits filed by opponents and questions about safety precautions. About 75, 000 people live within 10 miles of the depot, which holds 2, 254 tons of weapons loaded with nerve and blister agents, or about 7 percent of the nation's chemical stockpile.

Investment Solution Strategic The firm is Oracle Engineering of Piscataway, Middlesex County, which D'Arienzo described as, "a highly respected independent traffic analyst."

Investment Banking Services The firm is a one-man job, according to the secretary answering the phones there Tuesday. That one man, Kenneth G. Fears, is the person who D'Arienzo said earlier in the morning would handle the review.

Bank Investment Fears' findings are potentially of great import. The traffic study is part of a larger application before the Planning Board for more than a dozen variances.

Investment Company The plans for the 350,000-square-foot retail center were filed last fall, and have since brought on a storm of public opposition. Traffic, along with concerns about how the retail center will affect the rustic character of the town, has been the rallying cry for those who oppose it.

Investment Management Solution In fact, D'Arienzo announced the second traffic analyst's hiring only after prompting from two of the more involved citizens.

Investment Management Services Earlier in the meeting, the board announced that its review of the town's master plan would take place in April. This didn't please opponent Alison Lemke, since it meant the end of her hopes for rezoning the Home Depot site before the application is considered.

Investment Manual Solution The planning board announced that the public hearings on the Home Depot development plan will be held in the cafeteria of Lacey Middle School instead of the municipal hall. Microphones and taping devices will be set up for the event. The dates for the special meetings are still March 25, 26 and 31.

Investment Stock Some news on the town's upcoming review of its master plan came out of Monday's meeting. After much haggling, board members decided that the review would begin in April with twice-weekly meetings. The dates of those meetings will be announced in March.
