Hyde Park board grants Cool Sunny LLC a three‑year retail cannabis permit for Route 9G location
Summary
The Hyde Park Town Board adopted Resolution 68‑8 (2026) granting Cool Sunny LLC a three‑year retail cannabis special use permit for a proposed 2,300 ft² dispensary at 701 Violet Avenue. The resolution includes 19 site- and operations-related conditions; the town clerk recorded no prior written comments.
The Hyde Park Town Board on June 8 adopted a resolution granting Cool Sunny LLC a retail cannabis special use permit for a proposed dispensary at 701 Violet Avenue.
Councilman Priscowski moved to adopt Resolution 68‑8 of 2026, seconded by Councilman Donnelly; the board completed a roll call and the motion carried. The permit, which the draft resolution limits to three years, covers conversion of the front portion of an existing building into a roughly 2,300‑square‑foot retail space (about half retail floor area and half storage), with the auto body shop remaining in the rear.
Amy Bomber, representing Cool Sunny, told the board the front section facing Route 9G would be remodeled with a new facade and lighting and landscaping. "It's 2,300 square feet," Bomber said, describing changes to parking and site circulation; she said eight parking spaces are proposed for the dispensary, a widened aisle of 22 feet will aid circulation, and three fenced impound areas are planned at the rear.
The draft resolution incorporates 19 conditions that track planning board recommendations and site‑plan elements, including hours of operation, site improvements, and measures tied to the planning board review. Staff and board members noted grading work will be required to accommodate a replaced septic system and associated catch basins.
Town Clerk Sarah Holman read the legal notice of the public hearing as published; she reported the clerk had not received written public comments prior to the meeting. The planning board had reviewed elevations and materials, and the board amended one whereas clause to make explicit that the Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development responded the project is of local concern and the town board is therefore authorized to act.
The permit now carries the conditions laid out in the resolution; the board did not record additional public testimony opposing the application at the meeting. The town will retain the planning‑board conditions in permit compliance and monitoring as the applicant proceeds with site improvements.
