Present were:
Chairman: Joe Wolniewicz

Members: Kate Moody

Also Present: Russel Belscher-Liaison :
Mike Wolniewicz
Joe Roosa & Tom Shelberg
Building Inspector/CEO: John Baker
Clerk: Julie Nunweiler
Zoning Board Chairman Joe Wolniewicz called the meeting to order at 7:01 for a Public Hearing
this evening. This Public Hearing is to hear the petition of Michael Wolniewicz, 26 Franklin St. SBL
335.16-2-6.1 in B1 zoning district Springville New York File # 10841 for an interpretation of code.
§ 200-2 Use Classification
Industrial uses
Storage of fuel or other liquids in tanks
All unlisted uses are prohibited.
At 7:02 pm, Chairman Wolniewicz opened the Public Hearing.
At this time, Chairman Wolniewicz called the applicant up to address the board and explain what it was
he was looking to do.
Mr. Mike Wolniewicz came forward and introduced himself and explained that he is the owner of the
building and will have space available in which he has someone interested in renting it to create mead,
which is a honey based wine. He said that he was told by CEO John Baker that the making of wine and
Page 8
DRAFT .
spirits is not listed in the table and would therefore be prohibited as well as the storage of fuel or other
liquids being prohibited.
Mr. Mike Wolniewicz said he was told the village attorney is looking into updating the codes, but it could
be several months, and he is targeting September for the new tenant and does not want to have them move
in and then find out they cannot produce the mead. He is asking the board to examine the case to
determine if they agree that it should be allowed,
Mr. Wolniewicz explained that it does not qualify as industrial as the mead will only be created there in |
small amounts then moved off premises to storage for a year before it is ready. Member Bob Laskowski |
asked about the size of the tanks and was told there would be three seventy gallon tanks and they are :
required to have a remediation process for spill containment in the event of any cracks in the tanks. The
contents made up of lemon ginger and honey are not considered hazardous or combustible and will be out
of sight and not have any odor that would be a nuisance. When asked about alcohol content he said 13%.
Chairman Joe Wolniewicz asked the board to vote and explained he would be abstaining as he is related
to the applicant. The board members all agreed that this would not be considered industrial and that the
content not being hazardous should be allowed.
Mr. Michael Wolniewicz thanked the board for taking the time te hear his case.
At 7:25 pm Chairman Wolniewicz opened the next public hearing file # 10873 for Wendys 153 S.
Cascade Dr. for an area variance. Mr. Tom Shelberg the architect and Mr. Joe Roosa the owner of the lot
came forward to explain that the size of the lot is 31,319.64 feet and the frontage of 137 feet which is
under the requirement of 40,000 by two hundred sq feet.
Mr. Roosa went on to explain the lot size having a unique shape due to when he purchased it from an :
auction there was approximately eighteen feet of it that the Emerling dealership used for their parking lot i
by mistake. He also mentioned that he owns both the Aldis and Monroe stores lots and they are leased.
Wendys did require a curb cut and the town approved it. i
At this time, the Zoning Board of Appeals went over the factors considered in their decision:
FACTORS CONSIDERED:
1. Whether undesirable change would be produced in character of neighborhood
or a detriment to nearby properties; Yes_ No X(5)
2. Whether benefit sought by applicant can be achieved by a feasible alternative to the
variance: Yes No X(5)
3. Whether the requested variance is substantial: Yes _X (2) No_ (3)__
4, Would the variance have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental
conditions in the neighborhood: Yes _ No X(5)
Page 9
. DRAFT
5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created, which consideration shall be relevant
to the decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals but shall not necessarily preclude the
granting of the area variance: Yes_ No X (5)
DETERMINATION OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS BASED ON THE ABOVE
FACTORS:
The benefit to the applicant DOES NOT outweigh the detriment to the neighborhood or
community. The variance request was approved,

Attention all Springville Electric Customers:
In an effort, to help alleviate the higher-than-normal electric bills for March and April
of this year, the Village of Springville Board of Trustees have passed a resolution to
suspend late fees on the electric portion of your utility bill until May 20" 2026.
Customers will still have to make on-time payments every month, but you will be able
to spread the payment over these months. April and May are not expected to be as
severe as February and March. This is also very dependent on the weather. Any balance
on your account after May 20° will start to incur late fees again. This will also not prevent
shut off notices or suspension of service due to nonpayment.
Utility bills are always higher for the winter months so, customers can make payments
that‘are more than the billed amount when their biils are lower and carry a balance into
the winter months to off set the costs of higher winter bills.
Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.

VILLAGE OF SPRINGVILLE
PLANNING BOARD MINUTES
December 23, 2025 7:00 P.M.
A meeting of the Planning Board of the Village of Springville was held at the Village Municipal
Building, 65 Franklin St. Springville, New York at the above date and time. Present were:
Chairman: Bob Muhlbauer
Members: Barb Lipka
Tim Shriver (absent)
Greg Keyser
Brett Landsman
Trustee Russel Belscher(absent)
Building Inspector/ CEO: John Baker
Clerk: Julie Nunweiler
Also Present: Greg & Laura Beatty
After the Pledge of Allegiance, Chairman Muhlbauer called the meeting to order at 7:01 pm.
Tonight, on the agenda the Planning Board is addressing the following Public Hearing:
An application for # 11161 Greg Beatty V/L Elm St. Rezone R8.5 to R-M
Chairman Muhlbauer asked Mr. Beatty to come up and explain why he is requesting the rezone.
Mr. Beatty stated that he would like to build a 12 unit apartment building offering a mix of one,
two and three bedroom units on the 1.67 acres as he sees the need for this in our community. He
explained that he currently owns several rental units in town and has waiting lists for people
looking to rent. Mr. Beatty thinks the location is good for this as it is close to all the schools and
hospital as well as being walkable to downtown.
Member Barb Lipka asked if this was something he recently purchased and he said he has owned
it for about two years. She also asked if he had discussed what his plans were with any of the
neighbors and he said he had not.
Chairman Muhlbauer asked if theré would be any garages and Mr. Beatty said only on the end
units but not the middle one’s parking would be in the front. He also mentioned that the
rendering shows parking on the street, but this is just an illustration not actual site plan.
Page 16
Page 2
Planning Board Meeting
December 23, 2025
CEO John Baker mentioned this meeting is to approve or not approve the rezoning and has
nothing to do with Site plan approval as that would need to have its own Public Hearing and
would also need to have the Village Boards approval. He also mentioned that Mr. Beatty could
build 4 single family homes on the lot without any rezoning but would rather do rental units.
Member Greg Keyser questioned if the Health Care Overlay could come into play and what
effect that might have. He explairied that it means any type of medical office such as Dentist or
Chiropractor office could go in later so he would like to get some clarification from the Village
Zoning map before making any decision tonight on the rezone.
He does agree that this would meet the Villages Comprehensive Plan for additional housing but
feels the size of the unit may not aesthetically fit in the neighborhood and asked Mr. Beatty ifhe
would consider two smaller units?
Mr. Beatty said one unit would allow more green space and to keep in mind this drawing is only
to get an idea of what it could look like. He said it will not be a big square box but will have nice
siding and will aesthetically fit in with the rest of the neighborhood.
Chairman Muhlbauer asked if anyone in the audience would like to come forward for public
comment at this time.
Kristine Klein came up and said she has lived on the street for about four years across from the
vacant lot and has concerns about an apartment building going there. She feels it would create a
lot more traffic and wonders how it would affect the water and sewer. She enjoys looking out at
the green space and doesn’t think it will fit in the neighborhood. She mentioned she only found
out about it by seeing the yellow sign announcing the public hearing laying in the snow as the
wind blew over, so she got the word out to her neighbors.
Chairman Muhlbauer asked what she feels would be acceptable to which she replied to a single
family dwelling.

Planning Board Meeting
December 23,2025
Renatta Graham, who lives across the street, has concerns about the additional traffic and
mentioned how narrow the street is and already has had issues with people parking on it making -
it dangerous to navigate. She feels a few single family homes would be a better fit.
Holly Pearce came up to voice her concerns about not being made aware of it and said her
neighbor told her. CEO John Baker explained that all public hearings are advertised on the
Village website, published in the Springville Journal, social media, and a sign posted on the
property. She has concerns about it not fitting into the neighborhood, says it’s too big and will
create more traffic. She wishes he would have talked with his neighbors about this.
Member Barb Lipka has concerns about aesthetics of the street and Member Brett Landsman
feels that smaller rental units may be a better fit.
Chairman Muhlbauer said the Planning Board would table this for the next meeting to be held on
January 27, 2026 to allow more time to review the current Zoning Map regarding the Health
Care Overlay. He thanked the neighbors for voicing their concerns.
Next Chairman Muhibauer asked for any updates on Old Business and CEO John Baker said the
A&W is targeting the middle of February to open.
Chairman Muhlbauer asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 25, 2025
meeting. Member Greg Keyser made the motion, seconded by member Brett Landsman. All in
favor none opposed.
