Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes March 4, 2026 the property without permission and that their biggest concern is that the Applicant’s heavy equipment is entering on the sewer line. They are very concerned over that and fear that there could be damage to the sewer line. There is a paper road called Beam Road, and she finds it interesting that the fence ended at Beam Road. She wants to make sure that at no point in time will the people who are using 0 Lakeshore Road be using the entrance off Nelson Road onto Beam Road to access this project Mr. Pandolfe stated that the fence actually goes across Beam Road, it is the landscaping that stops. There will not be any driving onto the property or crossing of any sewer easement. Mr. Rogers believed that at a previous meeting the Board talked about the landscaping component that was going to be on the other parcel, but he remembered that the Board did inquire if the applicant could put landscaping on the 0 Lakeshore Road parcel as well behind the buildings. He just wants to make sure that the Board asked for that landscaping on the Lakeshore Road parcel itself. Chair Gronachan stated that there is no landscaping behind the buildings. She appreciates that there was a reduction in the square footage, that they went through the creek and added buffering, and that they were listening to the concerns of the board. However, there are still some major concerns that need to be addressed. She feels that with these buildings there needs to be some landscaping behind them. She would suggest reducing the buildings even more and the reason for that is because if they did a different layout the landscaping would fit. She understands that they feel the landscaping on the property that is not part of this project should count but it does not and in the past this Board has looked at storage buildings that have become an eyesore because they didn’t take into account the landscaping. Attorney Gogan wanted to discuss the fence and tree matter that was brought up previously. It is his understanding that the permit was just for the fence and that any tree removal was authorized as a matter permitted by right, Section 243-5, that sets a number of trees that can be removed as a matter of right. If you are taking down ten trees or less, you are not required to obtain a permit.
