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 17, 2026 The Building Department has accepted Special Use Permit (SUP) and Site Plan applications for 612 Buffalo Rd, by Casey Caldiero of Village Play, as tenant. The request is to relocate her children’s play center from the Village to the property on Buffalo Rd. The former restaurant and bar will be converted into indoor play area and separate party areas, and the outdoor areas will be used seasonally. The kitchen will remain. The property is zoned C3 and this use is a commercial recreational facility, which is allowed by Special Use Permit in the C2 District. The site plan has been requested because of the play structures that will be constructed on the property. The plan is that the play area will be located on the volleyball court and the outdoor patio seating will remain for patrons. The majority of the code requirements for a site plan do not apply for this particular application. Town Code requires the Town Board refer the applications to the Planning Board for their review and recommendation. The application shall also be referred to the Erie County Planning Department as per GML 239-m. After receiving the Planning Board recommendation the Town Board shall schedule a public hearing. A SEQR determination is required prior to a Town Board decision on the applications. Both applications are Unlisted actions for purposes of SEQRA. Please contact me if you have any questions. liz
