Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes January 21, 2026 • They originally had buildings closer to the creek. They were made aware of the provision in the code that requires them to keep buildings 100 ft. away so the change was made to comply. • In order to comply with the New York State Fire Code, they have reduced the size of the buildings and broken them up. They now have a layout that is in compliance with Appendix D of the Fire Code. • They have designated two proposed outdoor storage areas. They will have berms located on the creek side of both of them that will ensure that there is a designated area on the opposite side of the single-family home. • A ten-foot chain link fence will be installed on that off site parcel that is also owned by the applicant. Based on the fact that they have provided a complete site plan application, they are asking the Planning Board to consider the following: 1. Commencing an environmental review pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act. 2. Scheduling a hearing for a future meeting. As there was discussion about wetlands at the last meeting, Mr. Hopkins has provided Mr. Rogers with a letter issued by the DEC confirming the boundary of the wetlands that are on the site and the applicant is staying out of the 100ft. adjacent area. That is per determination issued by the DEC on July 14, 2025. The Engineering Department commented that they had no specific comment. The Planning Department commented that it has made both the applicant and the Planning Board aware that there have been many comments from neighbors regarding this project. All comments and letters have been forwarded to the applicant so that they are able to prepare responses as needed. Member Chmura wanted to clarify for the record that the agenda states that there are six (6) warehouse buildings but based on the current site plan there are eight (8) located on the site plan. Member Ryan stated that with the outside storage, she wondered what the Applicant was looking to store there so close to Rush Creek. Branda Santa responded they were planning to have stone bins for stone storage, miscellaneous trailers. Member Ryan asked Mr. Rogers, is outdoor storage allowed in M-3? Mr. Rogers concurred that, yes, it is an allowed use in M-3. 15
