The Board of Trustees on Aug. 4 approved a special-use permit for 333 Main St., The Pour Authority, permitting a 99-seat restaurant (reduced from an original 114 seats) in the DM-U zoning district. Owner Rita Kumar and two unnamed architects presented plans that include a fully vegan menu, wristband age verification and on-site beer sales served from a manifold described as having 52 beers sold by the ounce.

A resident questioned whether parking requirements would be waived; the Board approved a parking payment of $5,000 per space for three spaces (reduced from four spaces), to be paid over three years. The hours of operation approved are 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and 11 a.m.–midnight Thursday through Saturday. The approval includes a provision allowing changes to hours by resolution rather than requiring a new public hearing.

Trustee Walter Priestley moved to close the hearing and Trustee Craig Rosasco moved approval; the motion passed as RESOLVED #2026-08-07. The Village will include the parking-fee schedule and the hours provision in the permit record.
