Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes July 1, 2026 • Lot Four (4), which has access from Durham Road, would not be permitted to have access onto the State Highway System. • Their policy is that there is one driveway per lot on their State Highway and that it would be subject to a State Highway Work Permit. • DOT did not say that the two buildable lots would not be able to receive a driveway onto the State system. Sean Hopkins stated that the Applicant asks that there be a waiver the requirement for sidewalks. There are no sidewalks in the vicinity of this parcel so if some were to be built, they would be sidewalks to nowhere. Mr. Hopkins also mentioned that he does not see a need for a conservation easement due to the fact that the site is nearly nine acres in size and that the Applicant is proposing four lots in total. The property has been immaculately maintained for the past 20 years and will continue to be immaculately maintained. The Applicant also asks that the Planning Board waive the requirement to file a map cover with the Erie County Clerk’s office. Town Engineer Camie Jarrell stated she had nothing to add at this point.
