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

Conrad Wierzbowski, 1087 Seneca Creek Road:
- Referred to Supervisor Dickson's campaign and comments that people in Albany are not listening to
citizens and requested the Town Board listen to the 100 citizens opposed to the project

Zach Armstrong, Marilyn Drive:
- In his opinion, develop in the town needs to happen
- Has attended wedding venues with onsite lodging and had positive experiences
- Kloc's Grove does a good job and the owners do good things for the town
- The project will be good for West Seneca and attract people

Charles Gangarossa, West Seneca resident:
- Attended many events over the past many years and the owners are good people
- In his opinion, a project like this will create jobs
- Requested the Town Board approve the project
- In his opinion, the presentation was transparent and did not hide anything

Chris Owczarczak, 1255 Seneca Creek Road:
- In his opinion, the applicant just wants to make money
- Is not aware of wedding venues offering 40 rooms
- Is against the rooms being used by people not associated with an event
- There are existing problems with the road, sewer system, and electricity

Denise Bauer, 1160 Seneca Creek Road:
- What is the purpose of having zoning policies if spot zoning happens
- How would the town benefit
- Property has evolved and asked if any provisions were placed on the property
- Property owners bought in this area because of the residential zoning and spot zoning would
change the character of the neighborhood
- Expressed concern about future owners and uses
- Asked what kind of precedent the approval would set

Dan Warren, Indian Church Road:
- Has submitted written comments
- Has attended the previous meetings and observed the many neighbors expressing opposition
- In his opinion, the project would not financially benefit the town
- The last town wide reassessment was in the mid 1980's
- In his opinion, projects such as this will not raise the tax base and called for a 100% re-evaluation of
property assessments in the town
- The number of jobs that the project would provide will not increase the town's tax revenue
- The town's share of sales tax revenue will not increase significantly
- In his opinion, drunk driving would not be reduced if the hotel rooms are available for anyone
- In his opinion, the project is a bad fit for the neighborhood and the community, and other properties
in town are better suited to this type of project, for example, Gregor's Garden Grove on Clinton
Street
- This parcel is labeled as green space recreation in the Comprehensive Plan

Michael Harmon, 1281 Seneca Creek Road:
