*Important instructions to Village Board members:
Include all pertinent items desired by the Village pertaining to the operation of the business. Note that any items and
matters that are part of the discussion, prior to the official approval, which are not included in the conditions section when

An Application of a Request for an Amended Special Use Permit, received by the Office of the
Village Clerk on December 10, 2025, is hereby:

[APPROVED] or [DENIED], as submitted, for applicant Danielle Driscoll and Jeremy O’Brien for a
café at 33 Elm Street.

The Village Board shall be Lead Agency under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA).
A Negative Declaration is made under SEQRA and said application is determined to be an Unlisted
Action.

The following findings and conditions from the Village Planning Commission are incorporated herein:
  1. The proposed use is the same as the previous, with no problems identified.

If approved, the following additional language should be part of the approval:
Approval is Granted for the above-referenced Special Use Permit Application, as written and submitted,

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

Should any part of the application and Special Use Permit approval be in conflict with any segment of the
underlying Village Code (i.e., Zoning, etc.), adherence shall be with the Village Code provisions.

The Village shall have the right to periodically inspect the property for compliance with the Village Code, the Special Use
Permit and its conditions.

The nature, duration and intensity of the operations which are involved in, or conducted in connection with, this Special
Use Permit shall not be increased or expanded without the approval of the Village Board. Any increase or expansion shall
be considered at a public hearing held in accordance with the application requirements and administrative procedures
which have been adopted by the Village Board.

This Special Use Permit shall expire if significant construction has not been commenced within one year, and has not
been completed within two years, of final Special Use Permit approval or, if no construction is involved, if the use has not
been commenced within one year of final Special Use Permit approval.

This Special Use Permit shall expire if the use, once begun, ceases operation, for any reason, for more than six
consecutive months. For seasonal uses, the use will be considered ceased if there is no operation for at least 12
consecutive months.

This Special Use Permit may be revoked by the Village Board if it is found and determined that there has been a material
failure of compliance with any one of the terms, conditions, limitations or requirements imposed by the Special Use
Permit. Revocation may also occur in the event of Village Code violations occurring at the property. The Village Board
shall hold a public hearing to consider whether or not the Special Use Permit grantee has violated the terms and
conditions of the Special Use Permit or if any Village Code violations have occurred. The public hearing shall be held only
after the permit grantee has been notified. Notice of the violations and of the date, place and time of the public hearing
shall be mailed to the Special Use Permit grantee by certified mail, return receipt requested, directed to the last known
address of the permit grantee.
