WEST SENECA COURT ROOM  DRAFT TOWN BOARD PROCEEDINGS
1250 Union Road  Minutes - Meeting # 2026-08
West Seneca, NY 14224  April 27, 2026

Ayes: 4  Noes: 0  Abstain: 0  Motion Carried

Additional conditions: Councilmember Sherman stated the applicant would need to return to the
Planning Board for Phase 2 when the project would be thoroughly evaluated with a review of its
actual use and any issues or impacts that had emerged from the review of Phase 1. Another
condition would be that other uses permitted under R-60A zoning classification shall not be
considered. Supervisor Dickson stated the Planning Board set this as a condition.

Councilmember Breidenstein stated the safety plan to be reviewed and approved by the Police
Department.

Supervisor Dickson stated without the limitation on the just use of the site by people using Kloc's, he
cannot get beyond the idea that hotel would not have been approved there if Kloc's did not exist and
does not consider this as part of their business, i.e., a hotel that is accepting outside people who are
not connected with an event at Kloc's and cannot support this.

Motion by Supervisor Dickson, seconded by Councilmember Breidenstein, to approve Local Law
2026-6 Changing the zoning classification for the property located at 1245 Seneca Creek Road (SBL
135.08-1-13) is hereby modified to allow boutique hotel/motel buildings on the site without the
service of food or drinks from R-90 to R-60A, but only to the extent set forth in the attached property
map submitted by the applicant, and to modify that portion of the property upon which the banquet
facility is located from R-90 to R-60A, all with such reasonable conditions as may be necessary and
determined by the Town Board. Such rezoning shall remain as R-90 three hundred feet the entire
width of the property as measured from Seneca Creek Road with the following additional conditions:
1) limited hotel operations; 2) single-story; 3) safety plan approved by the West Seneca Police; and
4) eliminating Phase 2.

Ayes: 1  Noes: 3  Abstain: 0  Motion Failed
