The applicant made the same presentation and confirmed there is sufficient parking, including designated parking spaces for the apartments. The fence issue is being addressed with the neighbor on the north, a commercial greenhouse, to determine if a fence is preferred, noting it is not required. The fencing along Transit Road will match the existing fencing around the patio, noting it would protect the customers from cars and protect cars from golf balls. The plans have been reviewed and approved by the Town Engineer. A special permit was previously granted for the 3 apartments and the town requires a special permit for the service of alcohol at bars and restaurants. Additionally, the mini-golf course is unique and requires a special permit. Supervisor Dickson asked if Flappy's, the previous business at this location, also has a special permit for alcohol. Mr. Schieber stated they did and noted that if the business is closed for more than 1 year, the special permit expires and a new one must be applied for. Councilmember Breidenstein asked if the curb cut on Transit Road would be removed, or would it remain and fencing added. Ms. Johnson stated this would be determined by NYSDOT. No public comments were received. Motion by Supervisor Dickson, seconded by Councilmember Robertson, to close the public hearing. Ayes: 4 Noes: 0 Abstain: 0 Motion Carried Motion by Supervisor Dickson, seconded by Councilmember Breidenstein, to approve the request for a special permit for property located at 5700 Seneca Street for the service of alcohol and outdoor mini golf in the Town of West Seneca.
