CEO says planned village shops will require special-use permit; board to consider permitting approach
Summary
Code Enforcement Officer Kevin Druschel told the board that planned new village shops across from the village park will require special-use permitting and that he expects permitting to be handled en masse rather than individual shop-by-shop approvals. The board asked follow-up questions on process and oversight.
Kevin Druschel, Sodus Point’s Code Enforcement Officer, told the Zoning Board that plans for new village shops near the village park (examples cited: candy and clothing shops) will likely require special-use permits.
Druschel said the developer posted a sign for planned new shops and that “they will need a special use permit.” He told the board he anticipates handling permits en masse for the project rather than issuing a permit for each individual shop, but board members asked whether the board should review uses and conditions for each shop or the development as a whole.
Members discussed the benefits of special-use permits for local oversight. Chair Tom Johns asked the CEO for background on overlay districts for historic sites and how overlays would define site-specific requirements. Druschel said he would present additional detail and flagged items he would circulate for further review.
