The fast-food company has submitted an amendment to Wollondilly Shire Council's original conditions of consent.

McDonald's does not want to pay for the proposed traffic lights at the intersection of Cliffe, Margaret and Argyle streets.

Last week, McDonald's spokeswoman Amy Lawrence told the Advertiser: ``We are seeking this condition be deleted because the intersection does not require upgrading as a direct result of our proposed development.

``The need for traffic lights or another upgrade of the intersection was identified back in 2001 when the council prepared the Picton Town Centre Traffic Study.''

McDonald's also wants to remove the council's right to restrict the hours of operation for its planned drive-through facility if adjoining landowners complained.

``This condition was set down despite an assessment by the council's environmental health officer that the proposed development is considered acceptable in terms of noise and odour impacts, and leaves us with no certainty of the stated trading hours of between 6am and 11pm,'' the company spokeswoman said.

McDonald's wants to modify conditions that deal with signage, too. It wants to include a McDonald's wall sign, an M wall sign and a McCafe wall sign along the building's Cliffe Street frontage.

``We have also requested that the head-frame for the approved pylon sign be aligned with McDonald's smallest head-frame available.''

Cr Michael Banasik said the fast-food outlet should accept the council's decisions or look at a better site to fit in with their requests.

``If lights have to go there, I think Macca's should pay for it,'' he said. ``Clearly that development will have a huge impact on that intersection and the main street. Macca's want to have their Big Mac and eat it, too.''

Council staff will assess the amendment application before it is voted on.
