Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes  April 1, 2026

  •  Follow up with the DEC regarding the Stalked Bugleweed
  •  Follow up with Erie County DSM
  •  Amend the FEAF Part 1 per Member Chmura’s comments
  •  Re-examine the landscaping based off of Member Zajac’s comments
  •  Continue to look at alternative layouts of the buildings per Chair Gronachan
  •  Since the applicant has stated there is a verbal agreement with the owner of
  the property next to his, the Board has requested this be put into writing.

Member Chmura asked that while she recognizes that this is not an illegal pathway and
that it is in fact a public right of way, does the Applicant intend to have this be the
primary access point in the future for their project.

The Applicant responded that this has not been discussed but they do not believe so.
That is something that will be assessed and they will address it at the next meeting.

Mr. Rogers suggested that the Applicant contact the Town of Hamburg Traffic Safety
Advisory Board.

As Chair Gronachan stated about trust, if the Applicant says that this is not going to be
the primary access point, what are the stipulations to ensure that it would be? If it does
end up as a cut-through, there is an increase in truck traffic in that residential area
which is a compounding issue.

The project was tabled to the April 15, 2026 Planning Board meeting.
