1.   Motion by Councilman Osmanski, seconded by Supervisor Clark, that proofs of publication and posting of legal notice: "OF A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR A HOME OCCUPANCY PERMIT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1104 SENECA CREEK ROAD, BEING PART OF LOT NO. 288, FOR A CUSTOM IMPRINTING BUSINESS" in the Town of West Seneca, be received and filed.          (Carl W. & Ann H. Brittain)

Motion by Councilman Osmanski, seconded by Supervisor Clark, to open the public hearing.

Deputy Town Attorney William Bond read the recommendation of the Planning Board: "At its March 17, 2004 meeting the Planning Board recommended approval of the request for a home occupancy permit for property located at 1104 Seneca Creek Road, being part of Lot No. 288, for Leprechaun Graphics custom imprinting business."

Carl Brittain, 1104 Seneca Creek Road, stated his request to operate a custom imprinting business from his property. The business would be located in the barn at the rear of the property, which was 400 feet from the road. He did not believe that anyone would even realize the business was operating there. This was a family business and he would be the only employee.

Councilman Hicks questioned how much traffic would be generated by the business and if printing presses were used.

1.    (continued)

Mr. Brittain responded that most of his business was commercial, so there were not a lot of people stopping in. He did custom imprinting mainly for schools, sports teams, small businesses, etc. There was a very limited amount of traffic involved. Mr. Brittain stated that he did not print with inks. The imprinting was done with a computer process and he also did embroidery. There were no inks, solvents or chemicals involved.

Councilman Osmanski questioned the amount of supplies necessary for the business and how they would be delivered.

Mr. Brittain responded that he did not use large volumes of supplies and UPS generally only delivered two or three times each week.

Councilman Graber noted that the home occupancy permit required an annual renewal, so if there were some problem during the year the permit could be revoked.

Supervisor Clark stated that home occupancy permits were allowed in certain parts of the town and he commended Mr. Brittain for applying for the permit rather than operating his business without a permit. He thought that Mr. Brittain was respectful of his neighbors and had good communication with them. Supervisor Clark asked that Mr. Brittain continue to respect his neighbors because this was primarily a residential neighborhood.

No comments were received from the public.

Motion by Supervisor Clark, seconded by Councilman Osmanski, to close the public hearing.

Motion by Supervisor Clark, seconded by Councilman Graber, to approve the request for a home occupancy permit for property located at 1104 Seneca Creek Road, being part of Lot No. 288, for a custom imprinting business.
