Despite heated opposition, Fayette’s Planning Board approved a special-use permit for a seasonal bar at the Seneca Ridge wedding venue, according to the Finger Lakes Times.
The 4–1 vote came after a tense three-hour meeting, with neighbors blasting the Mesekes’ plan over noise, safety, and broken promises. The permit includes strict conditions—like limited hours, no amplified music, and restricted parking—but opponents say the damage to community peace is already done.
Some residents now plan to sue, claiming the board failed to protect their quality of life.
