Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes  February 18, 2026

Brandon Santa- Requesting Site Plan Approval for a proposal to construct eight
(8) shop warehouse buildings along with other associated site improvements to
be located on a 7.46-acre parcel at 0 Lakeshore Road (SBL# 150.00-1-6.2)

Anthony Pandolfe with Carmina Wood Design appeared on behalf of the project along
with Mr. Santa

Mr. Pandolfe explained that the updates that have been made since they were here in
January are:

  •  One of the things asked was for the outdoor material areas to be better
  defined rather than oblong shaped. They have been squared off so that
  they are more defined on the site plan
  •  Per the Planning Boards request, they did fill out and submit a long form
  EAF rather than the short form

Planning Department:

Mr. Rogers stated that he did receive the full EAF that was included in the coordinated
review package that went out to the different agencies. The thirty (30) day period will
end on February 27, 2026. The Planning Department did hear from the Erie County
Department of Planning, and they noted that this project is a local concern and they do
not have any specific recommendations from the referral aspect, they have not provided
any SEQR comments yet and may still do so.

Engineering:

Ms. Jarrell stated that it is still early from an engineering perspective, but they will
obviously do a full review when it is the appropriate time.

Fire Department:

Mr. Pandolfe spoke about the letter from the fire department. The letter did refer to fire
hydrants and as the applicant has mentioned before the site will have private hydrants
on site for fire protection.

The Fire Chief also asked if anything would be stored or kept outside of the buildings
that could hinder the movement of the fire apparatus?
Mr. Pandolfe explained that the outdoor material storage areas are behind the buildings
as far as access to the public water supply, there will be 30-foot-wide access and utility
easement, on property owned by Mr. Santa, that will be able to connect to the existing
water main along Route 5 bringing a private line back that will have fire hydrants on.
