There was a motion made by Member Stewart, with a second from Member Quandt Resolution passed with no opposition. Public Hearing- 7:00 P.M. 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 Tommaso Briatico of Tommaso Briatico Architects appeared on behalf of the project. Mr. Briatico explained that last time, the Planning Board requested a topographical evaluation of the site as well as a lighting analysis which was submitted. They are planning to remove the existing concrete and put in a new black-top parking lot in the front of the building. They are also going to have a green space to the south side with a series of trees. Mr. Rogers noted that this property did receive a use variance from the Zoning Board which is why it is before the Planning Board for Site Plan approval and change of use. There were questions last time regarding the renderings showing a deck which has changed on the site plan due to the fact that there is no outdoor consumption allowed in the Town of Hamburg. Chair Gronachan made the following statement: “A public hearing is an opportunity for the community to share information on how they are impacted by the project; a three-minute rule will apply. It is not a question-and- answer period. All statements made during the hearing, as well as written correspondence regarding the projects, will be sent to the Planning Department to be reviewed by the Planning Board as well as the applicant.” Member Geraci read the following Public Hearing Notice: “Notice is hereby given that the Town of Hamburg Planning Board will conduct a public hearing on a proposal for a cannabis dispensary and associated site improvements to be located at 3233 Lakeshore Road.
