WEST SENECA COMMUNITY CENTER Planning Board PROCEEDINGS 1300 Union Road Minutes # West Seneca, NY 14224 March 12, 2026 Mr. Sherman questioned the environmental assessment comprehensive plan being identified as LOS "E" which F is the highest in volume, and would like another traffic study done. Mr. Scheiber stated this was approved when a restaurant was going in this location which would have a heavier traffic volume, but we will continue with a traffic study by the county. Mr. Sherman wants to see another study done by the Department of Public Works in regard to the traffic before he signs off on this. Mr. Pandolfe mentioned if there were more than 8 vehicles in the drive-thru, they could stack into the parking lot rather than on Union Rd. Mr. Schieber recapped the landscaping on the plans, with shrubs small enough that will not obstruct the view of the traffic lines. Mr. Sherman wanted to amend the zoning from a C to an S since this was originally approved for a restaurant, and now it is a bank. Mr. Scheiber stated it will remain as is. Mr. Hayes asked if the name of the bank could be disclosed. Mr. Scheiber announced the name of the bank was Canal Bank. Mr. Beehler states there is a location in Williamsville on Main St. Mr. Sherman questioned who the proposed tenant or owner of the building was. Mrs. Bebak stated it is on the building owner. The public question by Eric Meinder was why does it matter if it is a bank or restaurant? Mrs. Bebak answered that it was originally approved to be a restaurant with a drive-thru and now is a bank with a drive-thru.
