ZONING OFFICER’S REPORT
DATE: October 14, 2015
TO: BOARD OF TRUSTEES
FROM: Brent Cross, Zoning Officer
RE: Hope’s Events and Catering, 200 Pleasant Grove Road
I have received a permit application to convert the former Sarah’s Patisserie space into
a catering/café. Permits for such food service business are subject to Zoning Section
4.2.c. “…restaurant or dairy bar for the serving of food and beverages, but only on
“special approval” of the Board of Trustees…shall determine, after public hearing…such
use is in the general welfare of the Village…” (I have attached a copy of a list used by
the Planning Board to evaluate such welfare)
The applicant is proposing to operate a cake bakery and café with details of operation
as described in the attached business plan summary. Some of the details that are
typically identified in the final permit approval include such issues as: menu, seating
(indoor/outdoor), hours of operation, etc. Please note that signage will be regulated by
Zoning Section 17. Signs: each business shall be allowed to have a 10 sf sign area.
Prior to final approval by the Trustees, the following actions will need to be taken after
an initial presentation by the applicant:
-declaration of lead for SEQR
-determination of SEQR Type and level of assessment
-schedule a public hearing
Prior to the public meeting, the applicant will provide any additional information, as wel l
as a SEQR Environmental Assessment Form (if determined necessary), and 10 days
prior to the meeting I will prepare a public notice that will be sent to the newspaper and
to all property owners within 200’ of the project/property.
