January 22, 2026 Mr. Jeffrey Schieber Town of West Seneca Code Enforcement Officer 1250 Union Road – Room 210 West Seneca, NY 14224 Re: Sketch Plan Submittal Proposed Bank 1465 Union Road West Seneca, NY 14224 Dear Mr. Schieber: On behalf of our client, Julius Aebly, please find enclosed the following documents for sketch plan review of a proposed bank at the above referenced parcel: • (12) Application for Site Plan Review Approval • (12) Short EAF • (12) 24x36 Concept Site Plan C-100 • (12) 11x17 Architectural elevations and renderings Project Description: The proposed project involves the construction of a 2,750 s.f., single story bank with drive-thru located at 1465 Union Road. Construction will also include associated parking, storm water management, on-site utility improvements, site landscaping and lighting. A proposed masonry wall will be constructed at the corner of Union and Center Road. The project is located at the corner of Union and Center Road. The site will share parking and access with the adjacent parcel to the north, 1471 Union Road and will also utilize the existing curb cut on Center Road. Project History: On November 15, 2021 the Town Board of West Seneca approved the rezoning and granted a special use permit for the properties of 1465 & 1471 Union Road, 798 Center Road and 150 Fremont Avenue from C-1 & C-2(S) to C-2(S). The parcels were then combined and subdivided into two parcels, 1465 and 1471 Union Road. On February 10, 2022 the Planning Board of West Seneca granted site plan approval for the construction of a 2-story office building and related site improvements located on the 1471 Union Road parcel (Phase 1). Site improvements included parking and the Center Road curb cut on the 1465 Union Road parcel. The storm water management system, including the underground detention area, was designed to accommodate both the Phase 1 and proposed developments. Union Road Corridor: The project site is located within the Union Road Corridor. Site planning and architectural design will conform to the requirements set forth in Chapter 120-70 of the Town of West Seneca Zoning Code. Page 19 of 27

9829 Main Street, Clarence, NY 14031 | Phone: 716-759-1715 | Fax: 716-759-1501 Letter of Intent Town of West Seneca 1250 Union Road West Seneca, New York 14224 RE: 2806 Seneca St, Bellwood School This Letter of Intent is submitted in support of our application for the adaptive reuse and conversion of the former school building located at 2806 Seneca Street into 18 multifamily housing units (mix of studios and one-bedroom units ranging from 570 sf to 1,536 sf). Our goal is to reposition this underutilized asset as a high-quality residential community. By rehabilitating a long-vacant institutional building we eliminate the risk of further deterioration and potential safety hazards and provide residential housing options for the community. The former Bellwood School has been vacant for decades. The four-story building is Colonial Revival-style and was constructed for use as a high school in 1928. The West Seneca High School helped to alleviate overcrowded conditions and provided up-to-date gymnasium and auditorium facilities. In 1950, the district opened a new high school building at Main and Seneca (extant) with a much larger capacity, and the West Seneca High School and West Seneca Central School of the former District 3 became Bellwood Elementary School. The school remained in use until the closure of the school in 1982. Previous developers’ plans to convert the Bellwood Elementary School to apartments fell through, and an older portion of the building was demolished in 2002. While the property has been found ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places (received denial letter in March 2025), it remains a landmark of the West Seneca landscape. VisoneCo Site Development has retained Metzger Engineering as the civil engineer and Sutton Architecture as the architect. We look forward to working with the Town of West Seneca on bringing this building back to life. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Sincerely, Brianne Zhang Director of Real Estate VisoneCo Site Development, LLC 1 Page 22 of 27
