TOWN OF AURORA 575 OAKWOOD AVENUE, EAST AURORA, NY 14052 BUILDING DEPARTMENT (716) 652-7591 MEMO TO: Supervisor Snyder and Town Board Members FROM: | Elizabeth Cassidy, Code Enforcement Officer DATE: March 10, 2026 The Building Department has accepted a revised Special Use Permit application for 298 Ellicott Rd by Neil Hopkins, principal, on behalf of RNH 298 LLC, owner. The property was previously approved for a campground SUP on 5/13/24 to allow no more than 4 RY sites, 16 tent sites with no swimming posted, water hose bibs labeled as “non-potable”, and year-round access for emergency vehicle maintained. The current request is to expand the campground operations for up to 8 events which consist of 4 days of camping for up to 400 people. This use is allowed in the C3 district as regulated in the C2 district which requires the Special Use Permit. A campground must comply with all Public Health laws, and the applicant has been referred to the Erie County Health Department to begin that process. I would recommend the Town Board make no decision without written response from ECHD. Per Town Code §116-42A the Town Board may take one of the following actions: (1) Take no action (2) Request the applicant modify the application nd resubmit (3) Request the applicant submit an application for site plan review to be made in tandem with this application (4) Refer the application for review to and recommendation by the Planning Board. If the Town Board refers the application to the Planning Board, then once their recommendation is received, a public hearing must be scheduled. A SEQR determination must be made prior to the Town Board’s decision. Due to proximity of the property to the municipal boundary and County highway, a referral to Erie County Department of Environment and Planning is required as per GML §239-m. This is an Unlisted Action for purposes of SEQRA. Please contact my office with any questions. Liz Cassidy
