Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes  May 20, 2026

Whereas, the Town of Hamburg Planning Board held the required public hearing on
March 4th, 2026; and

Whereas, in accordance with Part 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to
Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act - SEQRA) of the Environmental
Conservation Law, the Town of Hamburg Planning Board has issued a SEQR Negative
Declaration on May 6, 2026.

Now, Therefore Be It Resolved, the Town of Hamburg Planning Board issues
conditional site plan approval for this project with the following conditions:

  1. Approval is contingent upon the Engineering Department comment letter dated
  5/15/2026.
  2. The landscaping plan (dated 4/30/2026) shall be approved by the Planning
  Department.
  3. Berms along Rush Creek that are extended the full length of the creek and pulled
  back from the creek bank shall be installed and maintained by the Applicant in
  phase 1 of the project.
  4. The installation of sidewalks is not warranted as they already exist along the
  frontage of Lakeshore Road.
  5. All proposed lighting on the project shall be shielded and dark sky-compliant to
  ensure there will not be any light spill onto adjacent properties. There will be no
  building mounted lighting on elevations of buildings adjacent to residential
  properties as shown on the site plan.
  6. All vehicles shall be required to continue southbound and utilize the Woodlawn
  exit off of Route 5 to circle around and come back up Route 5 going northbound
  to make a right into the Project Site. The Applicant shall include language
  regarding this traffic plan in the lease agreements with tenants.
  7. The Applicant will direct his company drivers, and to the maximum extent
  practicable his tenants, to not use the State right-of-way off of Hawley Road to
  access the Project Site.
  8. The Applicant shall comply with Erie County Division of Sewerage Management
  (ECDSM) requirements to provide a 30-ft wide sanitary sewer easement,
  centered on the pipe, that will be required for the existing sanitary sewer located
  on the 10-ft wide parcel owned by the Woodlawn Sewer District (SBL #: 150.00-
  1-15).
  9. Given that Rush Creek is considered a 303(d) by the NYSDEC, it shall be a
  requirement that there are two (2) SWPPP inspections per week to ensure that
  necessary erosion and sediment control measures are in place.
  10. Stormwater management facilities shall be designed to meet NYSDEC
  requirements for water quality and quantity, including a 100-year storm event.
