Mr. Kalos said that under SEQR the Planning Board is charged with making the initial determination as to the type of action and based on that determination whether to proceed or whether a full Environmental Impact Statement will be required. About fifty Murdock Woods residents appeared who were con- cerned about the possibility of the road beitg opened and a connection made between Murdock Woods and the proposed development.
