served as Town of Oyster Bay

According to Frank Ranieri,
president of Dolphin Green Civic
Association, there is limited
parking facilities at the site
which will create traffic and
parking problems for residents
living on Dolphin Drive and Val
Page Street and surrounding
areas. This will endanger the
safety and health of our
children's welfare, he stated.
Ranieri told the Post a petition
drive is now underway to obtain
signatures in opposition to the
parlor. Oyster Bay Town
Councilman Gregory Carman
has been contacted, Ranieri said,
and " we have received his
complete support, which he will
discuss with the town board and
Supervisor Burke."
According to Don Kehoe, public
relations director for Nassau
Downs, there is more than
adequate parking to ac­commodate
the betting parlor.
He told the Post there is room for
38 parking spaces in the rear of
the building, plus on- street
