"This is in response to your December 8, 1989 transmittal letter re-
questing our review of the above referenced property located on the
east side of U.S. Route 9 between Myers Corners Road and Old Hopewell
Road. We offer the following comments: On April 3, 1986 the Department
issued Highway Work Permit #8-86-0253 to Mr. William J. LeRoy of Greentree
Associates for the construction of the existing driveway, as shown on
the BGHKR site plan. This Permit remains open since the work has never
been satisfactorily completed. Consequently, the driveway is an illegal
access.
