Town Code section 95-5 states that “The Town Board may waive the applicability of all or any portion of the site plan review process to a particular applicant or project if it determines that such review is not in the interest of public health, safety or general welfare or is inappropriate to a particular site plan.” If the Town Board does not waive the referral, then the application shall be referred to the Planning Board for their review and recommendation. After receiving the recommendation, the Town Board shall schedule a public hearing. Due to the proximity of the property to the municipal boundary, a referral to Erie County Department of Environment and Planning is required as per GML §239-m.
