Canton Residents Invited to Public Hearing on Proposed Brewpub Variances

The Canton Village Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) will hold a public hearing on February 28, 2024, at 7:00 pm. The hearing will discuss an application for two area variances for a brewpub development at 41 West Main Street, Canton, NY 13617. The variances concern paving and placement of the brewpub, which currently doesn't meet the requirements of Canton Code Section 325, Zoning Law Schedule B: Lot Dimensional Standards.

The proposed brewpub is in the general mixed-use (GMU) zoning district. The district allows a maximum of 35% impervious surface coverage, but the applicant is requesting 70%. This request has been referred to the ZBA by the Canton Planning Board.

The applicant is also requesting a variance to exceed the GMU zoning district's minimum setback of 50 feet, proposing a setback of 47 feet, 6 inches. This request has also been referred to the ZBA.

The hearing will take place in the Municipal Building's boardroom at 60 Main Street, Canton, NY. A Zoom option will be available for those unable to attend in person. The public can comment during the hearing in person or via Zoom. Connection details for the Zoom meeting are on the municipal website.

Public comments can be emailed to chairperson Conrad Stuntz or mailed to the Canton Village ZBA. Comments must be received by 4:00 pm on February 28, 2024, to be included in the public hearing and meeting record.
