Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes March 4, 2026 b. She is a member of the local LWRP, Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Committee, which was established to help communities redevelop the waterfront along Lake Erie, to enhance public access, improve water quality and foster economic growth. She does not see how this project fosters any of those ideals. c. She hopes the Town of Hamburg will listen to the concerns of the community and demand that Mr. Santa replant the trees he removed “illegally without permits” 5. Amy Blundell of the Village of Hamburg asked the Planning Board to please listen to the residents of Woodlawn and apply the most rigorous standard when evaluating this project. a. The Hamburg IDA website has a parcel of land for sale that the IDA purchased, and it includes all of the environmental contaminants and the extreme exposure and mitigation factors that will need to happen on that land to make it healthy. This property is in close proximity to the IDA property, and she would like to know who is accountable to ensure the well-being and health of the residents. 6. Christopher Saracino of 4340 South Park Avenue spoke in favor of the project as a local contractor. It is hard for local contractors to find areas to store their stuff and conduct business out that is up to code. 7. Joanne Warren of John Michael Way in Hamburg and she is against the project. a. It is her understanding that the owner of the property violated he Town of Hamburg Code which requires a permit for the clear cutting of trees and in her opinion that should be a reason to halt the project. b. She is very concerned about the development that is occurring in the Town of Hamburg. c. She asked the Planning Board to follow the Comprehensive Plan, which are the guiding principles they adhere to. After reviewing the Comprehensive Plan for Woodlawn, she does not see how this project meets the guidelines. 8. Patrick McAnaney spoke in favor of the project because he owns an industrial strip of land in the area and has to wonder how this will affect his family’s ability to sell their property. 9. Jordan Andolina of 3767 Nelson Ave is opposed to the project. He feels that from the start of this project when the clearcutting took place, it should have been in front of the Planning Board. He feels that the Planning Board should be standing up for the landowners and from the onset of this process there have been no answers from the Board, just that Code Enforcement keeps walking the property. 11
