Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes January 21, 2026 Town of Hamburg Planning Board Meeting January 21, 2026, Minutes The Town of Hamburg Planning Board met for a Work Session at 6:30 PM, followed by a Regular Meeting at 7:00 PM, on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, in Room 7B of Hamburg Town Hall. WORK SESSION Carl DiNezza- Requesting Preliminary Plat Approval of a 2-lot subdivision at 58 North Shore Drive Mr. Carl Dinezza appeared on behalf of the project. Mr. DiNezza explained that the request is being made because he is looking to build a home for his daughter who is moving back to the area. He would like to have the property split and he did go to the Hoover Beach Community Association and got their approval as well as having the property surveyed. After he gets done with the Planning Board, he will be going before the Zoning Board, get an address for the property from Engineering, then he can work with an architect to find out exactly what can be built properly and within code. It was suggested by Code Enforcement that he utilize a framed garage that is on the parcel to keep costs down. Mr. Rogers explained that Mr. DiNezza came before the Planning Board in 2023 with a similar request to subdivide property over on North Shore Drive, which is in the Hoover Beach area. Mr. DiNezza was going to go before the Zoning Board but did not move forward at that point in time. He is back before the Planning Board to subdivide the property so he may build a house for his daughter and her family. Mr. Rogers brought to the Boards attention that parcel is located in Hoover Beach and that area has its own set of rules. Though technically in the Town of Hamburg, the residents do not own their parcels and lease. As such, they are required to get authorization from the Hoover Beach Community Association, which Mr. DiNezza did and the letter of approval is on file with the Planning Department. The reason Mr. DiNezza has to go before the Zoning Board is because his proposed subdivision request and the lots that would be created do not meet the minimum lot size in R-2. When served by public sewer you are required to have 10,000 sq-ft., which obviously by subdividing this property the second lot would not meet that requirement. One of the variances for lot size that Code Enforcement mentioned was that there would be rear and side yard setback variances that would be requested. What Mr. DiNezza is looking for is any comments that this Board has that will be passed on to the Zoning Board as they take a look at this request for all the variances for the subdivision. 1
