Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes August 5, 2026 asked what is that referring to and could there be wording in there as to what it refers to? Mr. Hopkins answered that absolutely can be added. Chair Gronachan asked Mr. Rogers about his referencing of a list from a previous project and if he could explain that? Mr. Rogers explained that for the previous project there was a table of every comment that was received during the Public Comment Period, that the Planning Board deemed to be substantive, that the Applicant then addressed in the FEIS. Mr. Rogers felt that the table of comments made the process of addressing the comments more streamlined. It was a suggestion that he put forth to the Planning Board for their consideration and he had an associate prepare the table that he would be willing to share with the Applicant. Mr. Hopkins said that would be appreciated. In the document provided by Mr. Rogers, it asks “Did the applicant evaluate the proposed infrastructure improvements, including discussion of the existing topography and impacts to the property and surrounding lands, proposed grade and fill requirements, the removal of existing vegetation and topsoil, and construction related impacts including construction phasing?” Chair Gronachan did not see where that was addressed. Mr. Hopkins stated that he thought it was addressed in at least a narrative form, but he will check on it. In the document provided by Mr. Rogers, it asks “Has the impact of the Buffalo Bills stadium been addressed with this subdivision?” When Mr. Rogers did his review for the Planning Board, one of the things asked for were cumulative impacts not only on the adjoining project but any type of impact that would come from the new Bills stadium. Mr. Hopkins responded originally there was a traffic study submitted by Passero with an updated study presented in December 2024. After the Planning Board determined the study to be complete, DOT asked for additional information. Mr. Rogers asked since that December 2024 study, has it been shared with the DOT and if so, do they have any new comments on that study? Mr. Hopkins believes that there is an email which Mr. Rogers was copied on that states that they have no additional concerns. 13
