Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes April 1, 2026 It does not need any variances at this time, and from the SEQR perspective, it is considered an unlisted action and in his recommendation, it is not worthy of a coordinated review. Town Engineer Camie Jarrell stated that at this time, there is not a great deal to add. As it was mentioned, Engineering would review the project going forward in regard to utilities, grades, drainage, etc. Member Ryan asked is the concert area in Slade Park leaving or is it being incorporated into this project. Mr. Hutter answered that it will be reorganized into the park. The Fairgrounds does not have a final place for it yet, but it will exist. He added that the picnic areas will also exist for families. Member Chmura asked if the applicant could provide a landscaping plan that shows the trees that are going to remain, be removed, and the new landscaping. She stated she understands that there will be temporary landscaping that comes in as well. Mr. Hutter responded they are working with a landscape architect, Joy Kuebler, who is working with the understanding that this is a park and absolutely needs to stay a park. He is hopeful that at the next meeting he will have renderings that he can present to the Board, it may not be a formal landscape plan, but he will certainly have renderings and the number of trees that will be staying and coming down. A public hearing was scheduled for the project for the May 6, 2026 Planning Board meeting.
