  MEMO

TO:  Supervisor Snyder and Town Board Members

FROM: _ Richard Miga, Assistant Code Enforcement Officer

DATE:  May 15, 2026

The property owner Neil Hopkins for this Special Use Permit (SUP) amendment application at
298 Ellicott Road, reached out to the Building Department the day after the Planning Board
meeting on 5/6/26, regarding a request to increase the occupant load for the SUP application
greater than what was recommended by the Planning Board at the meeting. The owner
represented the application in the Planning Board meeting and provided a plan for the intended
use and program for the site that the Planning Board rendered their motion on. This motion
included a maximum occupant load of 200 occupants. The plan is attached and remains
unchanged, but the owner has since clarified in the attached email that they would like 150
“occupant areas” with an average occupant load per area of 2 occupants, for a total of 300
occupants.

Attached to this memo is an email communication with an associate of the property owner
confirming the request occupant load change and therein is verification from Erie County
regarding campground permitting and requirements. It is at the discretion of the Town Board to
send this application back to the Planning Board at their next available meeting for their
recommendation and review of this change in occupant load or schedule the Public Hearing at
the next available Town Board meeting.

 If you have any questions, please contact me at 652-7591. °
