The Webster Planning Board is scheduled to take up final site plan approval for the 7 Brew drive-through coffee stand on Hard Road when it meets Tuesday, July 7, the decision step that follows the preliminary approval the board granted June 2.

A yes vote would clear the project's last board hurdle before it can move toward building permits. The applicant is Brew Team NY LLC, whose franchisee is Doug Beachel. The plan calls for a 510-square-foot prefabricated, double drive-through coffee stand on a 0.73-acre parcel in the town's High-Intensity Commercial District. 7 Brew is a drive-through-only, no-lobby coffee company that has grown to more than 700 stands across 38 states, with open locations in Penfield, Greece, and Brockport.

Webster reviews site plans in two board steps. Preliminary approval fixes the plan and attaches conditions; the applicant then satisfies those conditions and returns for final approval, the sign-off needed before pursuing building permits. When it granted preliminary approval June 2, the board asked the applicant to provide a stormwater pollution prevention plan and a comment-response letter, and to revise the plans to show on-site snow-storage areas, a landscaping plan and a continuation of the bio-retention area to the east. Whether the board finds those conditions satisfied is the substance of Tuesday's vote.

Another Hard Road item

Also on Hard Road, the board will consider a sign application for the Burger King at 940 Hard Road: three wall signs totaling 73.65 square feet. The Burger King and 7 Brew parcels sit on the same stretch of Hard Road.

A subdivision extension, with a public hearing

The board will also hold a public hearing on a request to extend approval for Sienna Reserve, a proposed 10-lot single-family subdivision on Orchard Road. Insite Land Development Inc. is asking for a one-year extension of its final site plan and subdivision approval. Under the town code, subdivision and site plan approvals lapse if a project is not carried out within a set period, and because the request involves a subdivision it carries a public hearing.

The subdivision was a tabled matter on the board's Aug. 5, 2025, agenda, at that point still seeking final approval. Builder Crosstown Custom Homes lists the Orchard Road homesites as coming soon, with no lots currently available; construction has not begun.

Also on the agenda

Three other items round out the docket. Vital Signs is seeking approval of one internally illuminated 60-square-foot wall sign for Invio at 855 Publishers Parkway. An application for a 615-square-foot accessory building at 1052 Lake Road is up for preliminary and final site plan approval, with a public hearing. And the board is set to approve the minutes of its June 2 meeting.
