Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes  April 1, 2026

  o Additionally, a stormwater management area will be incorporated into the
  design that will include a bioretention area. The stormwater management
  area will be designed to meet the NYSDEC requirements for water quality
  and quantity including a 100-year storm event
  o Rush Creek is considered a 303(d) by the NYSDEC and will require two
  (2) SWPPP inspections per week to ensure that the necessary erosion
  and sediment control measures are in place
  •  Traffic\Noise\Light Pollution: the proposed development is for an industrial use.
  Industrial uses produce less traffic than both commercial and residential type
  developments of similar sizes.
  o Lighting will comply with the Town’s stringent lighting standards and will be
  dark sky compliant.
  o Per the ITE Trip Generation Manual, the proposed development can
  expect 36 trips during business hours which does not meet the NYSDOT
  threshold of 100 trips to warrant a Traffic Impact Study
  o The positioning of the buildings along the north and east side of the parcel
  will serve as a buffer
  •  Emergency Ingress/Egress: emergency access from the north can be
  accommodated via the widened right-of-way from Nelson Avenue to the project
  site. The project layout meets the requirements of the NYS Fire Code for access
  around the site and proposed buildings
  o Draft Declaration of Easements has been submitted for the two parcels
  comprising of the project site.
  •  Woodlawn Sewer: the proposed fence is offset 15-ft from the northern property
  line of the Woodlawn Sewer District, and the buildings are offset 10-ft from the
  southern property line as required by the Town of Hamburg Zoning Code
  o Neither of these structures are close enough to the sewer line itself to
  cause damage. Also, there will not be any heavy equipment driving over
  the Woodlawn Sewer District property
  o Letter from Woodlawn Sewer District dated March 27, 2026, Clarifications:
  ▪ The applicant will comply with ECDSM requirements, including
  establishing the required easements for the existing sanitary sewer
  located on the Woodlawn Sewer District property and submitting an
  Out-of-District agreement
  ▪ The proposed development does not meet the 2,500 gpd threshold
  that would warrant a downstream sewer capacity analysis (DSCA).
  The anticipated daily sewer demand for the proposed development
  is 1,200 gpd
