Hearings scheduled for Taco Bell, pawn shop
Proposed businesses will present case at Dec. 10 ToH Board of Appeals meeting
Two cases are scheduling during the next Town of Hempstead Board of Appeals public hearing on Dec. 10 regarding potential East Meadow businesses.
A proposed pawn shop by Elite Pawnbrokers, Inc., on 503 Newbridge Road, between Falcon Street and Kenmore Street, is currently on the agenda.
Since a pawn shop is not a permitted use of the business zone, spokeswoman Susie Trenkle-Pokalsky said it must be granted a special exception by the board. “Any pawn shop that wanted to go into business in that zone would have to do the same exact thing,” said Trenkle-Pokalsky, adding that the proposed shop would be about 1,100 square feet.
A second item scheduled for Wednesday’s meeting is a proposed Taco Bell on 1939 Hempstead Turnpike, where a Zorn’s restaurant used to be. The request also calls for special exceptions, including a drive-thru window, a variance for off-street parking, a rear yard dumpster and an illuminated sign.
Both cases will be called during the 2 p.m. session. The hearing will take place at Town Hall on 1 Washington St. in Hempstead.
