UNIONDALE, NEW YORK — Sahn Ward Coschignano, PLLC has announced that two of the Firm’s Partners — John Farrell and Christian Browne — have successfully represented their respective commercial real estate clients before local municipal boards in obtaining special permits and variances for two different Starbucks locations on Long Island. A third Partner, Wayne G. Edwards, is currently representing a client seeking approval for a Starbucks to be located on Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow.
On August 17, the Town of Hempstead Board of Zoning Appeals granted special permits and variances for a new Starbucks in Baldwin.

On September 6, Mr. Browne received final approval from the Village of Lynbrook’s Architectural Review Board for a new Starbucks located on 831 Sunrise Highway, which is the former site of two retail establishments.
