Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes March 4, 2026 Town of Hamburg Planning Board Meeting March 4, 2026, Minutes The Town of Hamburg Planning Board met for a Work Session at 6:30 PM, followed by a Regular Meeting at 7:00 PM, on Wednesday March 4, 2026, in Room 7B of Hamburg Town Hall. Seven (7) Brew Coffee- Requesting Site Plan Approval of a proposal to construct a 510 sq-ft building with two drive-thru lanes to be located on a 0.78- acre parcel at 3701 McKinley Parkway (SBL #: 160.07-2-28.2) Mr. Anthony Pandolfe with Carmina Wood Design appeared on behalf of the project. Mr. Pandolfe explained that previously, the design team was before the Planning Board with a location on Southwestern Boulevard near Taco Bell. The applicant has decided to forgo that location and is now looking at 3701 McKinley Parkway which is located within the roundabout of the McKinley Mall. It is located near the northern entrance across from McKinley Plaza and next to the Dollar Tree. They have a single curb cut entrance with drive-thru stacking around the back of the site. For efficiency, the employees will go through the drive-thru with tables to take people’s orders so that when the customer gets up to the takeout window it can be ready for them. Mr. Pandolfe stated that at this point in time, the Applicant is looking for direction on the sketch plan and would like to move forward with a full site plan submittal. Mr. Rogers explained that he had a pre-application meeting with the Applicant, and they spoke about this parcel on McKinley. Mr. Rogers stated that he felt that this location is better suited than the one on Southwestern Boulevard due to the concerns regarding traffic backups that may have occurred onto Southwestern Boulevard. The new location has not been sent to the fire company yet, but one concern that Mr. Rogers does have is if people are coming into any of the drive-thru lanes and change their mind, they are stuck in the queue and this issue may arise during the grand opening. Mr. Rogers had no concerns regarding the location of the dumpster or the handicap parking. Town Engineer Camie Jarrell stated that the issue with the queue is the one that stood out the most. She stated that this is a small enough site that a full stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) will not be required. 1
