Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes  August 19, 2026

Mr. Rogers answered that when they come to the Planning Board with a full site plan
application, the Planning Department will alert DOT, with the applicant simultaneously
reaching out to DOT on their own accord.

Attorney Gogan added that on the GIS map, it shows somewhat of an apron between
the gutter of Route 20 and the sidewalk that appears to be about ten feet from the
southwest corner of the lot. This would mean that there is a curb cut and it would mean
moving an existing curb cut.

Chair Gronachan asked Mr. Rogers how do we move this project forward?

Mr. Rogers asked as the applicant moves forward, does the Chair want a memo or
narrative on tree clearing and maybe an estimate of how many trees would be cleared?

Chair Gronachan responded yes.

Mr. Rogers also asked does the Planning Board want a stacking plan?

The Planning Board concurred.

Mr. Rogers asked the Planning Board are there any other materials that the Planning
Board would like the Applicant to put together as they prepare their full site plan
application?

The Chair authorized the Planning Department to reach out to the DOT.

Project is tabled indefinitely until the Applicant submits a full site plan application.

Chuck Kluckhohn-Requesting Preliminary Plat Approval for a 2-lot subdivision to
be located at 6670 Taylor Road

This project was tabled until September 2, 2026.

A.K. Kaid- Requesting Change of Use and Site Plan Approval on a proposal for a
retail cannabis dispensary and associated site improvements to be located at
3233 Lakeshore Road

No one appeared on behalf of the project.

Chair Gronachan stated the architect for this project appeared before the Planning
Board at the last meeting and provided the Planning Board with the following changes:

  •  The garage door was removed.
  •  The patio is still there.
  o Chair Gronachan feels that the patio and the overhang associated with it
  should be removed.
