Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes  August 5, 2026

Chair Gronachan asked in the Cluster Plan, how many of the lots are going to be
17,500 sq-ft?

Mr. Hopkins answered very few, as those will be the corner lots. The general square
footage of the lots in the Cluster Plan will be around 10,500 sq-ft.

The project was then tabled to the August 19, 2026 Planning Board meeting.

Planning Board to discuss the draft Final Environmental Impact Statement
submitted by Wetzl Development LLC regarding a proposal by Glenn Wetzl to
rezone property located east and south of 4255 McKinley Parkway

Attorney Sean Hopkins appeared on behalf of the project.

Mr. Hopkins updated the Planning Board that the FEIS is almost done. Mr. Hopkins is
going to review it to make sure that every public comment is addressed. He asked that
this project be tabled for two weeks. It was confirmed that they have received a
Negative Determination on wetlands from the DEC, confirming that in light of a court
case that was issued in April of 2026, there are no wetlands. As stated during the last
presentation, after input from nearby property owners, the Applicant is proposing a
preferred alternative.

Mr. Rogers explained that on August 19, 2026, the Planning Board should be receiving
the FEIS and starting the process of the review like they did for the Parker Road project.

The project was then tabled to the August 19, 2026 Planning Board meeting.
