Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes March 4, 2026 Chair Gronachan responded that the Planning Board cannot take that into consideration as the fence has nothing to do with the Planning Board. What the Applicant decides to do on that 30 ft piece of property has nothing to do with the Planning Board. However, she reiterated that the project before the Planning Board at 0 Lakeshore Road needs additional landscaping. Member Ryan stated that she is not in favor of the outdoor storage due to the following reasons: 1. Additional runoff from the materials that are stored there could be reduced by removing the outdoor storage which would limit the runoff to the creek 2. The site is overbuilt right now and if the outdoor storage was removed it would be more attractive. Member Zajac wanted to know how the number of 36 trips was calculated. Mr. Hopkins explained that there is a national standard that applies to every land use category and the Institute of Transportation Engineers generated the report. They look at the square footage, compare it to the land use category and that is how they get the vehicular trips. It is a standard used by all traffic agencies including the DOT and the Erie County Department of Public Works. The number 36 is how many vehicles are coming and going during peak hour. Member Zajac asked as for the outdoor storage, what does the Applicant foresee being stored there. Mr. Santa stated that they are planning to store equipment, trailers, some excavators, bulldozers, some stone piles (which will be contained to bins that are designed to run to a catch basin not the creek), etc. Member Zajac asked would Mr. Santa have topsoil. The Applicant responded possibly yes, but they will have erosion controls. Member Geraci does have concerns regarding the outdoor storage when it comes to landfill or concrete waste. Mr. Hopkins wanted to confirm that there will not be any construction waste stored on the site. The project was then tabled until the April 1st, 2026, Planning Board meeting.
