Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes February 18, 2026 ▪ Chair Gronachan: this is a good list, however, there are two things she would like to discuss: 1. Do we want to entertain the history of the property, who is the actual owner? a. Attorney Gogan: There has been discussion with Mr. Rogers regarding this and who the applicant is and what is the contractual relationship for standing purposes. b. Mr. Rogers: There will be a section that has not been detailed yet, that deals with the application phase that can have this information added to it. 2. What about the history of the property and if there have been any violations in the past? In the past this has been brought to the attention of the Board, and if it is going to be part of the checklist maybe it could be part of the criteria. a. Attorney Gogan: There may be legal issues with this because if the new owner has nothing to do with the prior violations then you are starting to go down a rabbit hole. b. Mr. Rogers: He would rather it be on the application than in the code. i. Member Chmura agreed with this approach REGULAR MEETING PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Cynthia Gronachan led the meeting attendees in the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance ROLL CALL Present: Chair Gronachan, Member Chmura, Member Clark, Member Ryan, Member Geraci and Member Zajac Absent: Member Stewart Staff: Josh Rogers, Planning Department; Planning Board Attorney Joseph Gogan; Town Engineer Camie Jarrell Richard Saunders- Requesting Preliminary Plat Approval on a proposal for a 2-lot subdivision at 5225 Scranton Road Mr. Saunders did not appear on behalf of the project as he was told he did not need to be in attendance. 5
