Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes January 21, 2026 Member Ryan asked if the Applicant had thought about moving those areas away from Rush Creek to take away any chance of runoff. Mr. Hopkins responded that they added the landscaped berms on the creek side that will ensure that does not happen. It will also be graded accordingly and of course the Engineering Department will review and approve the full engineered plans. Member Chmura asked regarding the property owned by the Woodlawn sewer district, and if there is an existing easement to allow for that access. Right now, Mr. Santa has a fence and the strip of land that you do not own and as per the prior meeting, there is no recorded easements in order to have access across that Mr. Santa answered there is access from Route 5 to access that property directly next to the access to his home property. Member Chmura asked if he anticipated any activity going north of the proposed building locations that would be crossing over that easement. Mr. Santa answered no, that would be the back of the buildings, so there would be no need to go back there. There would only be the need to maintain the landscaping along the fence line but that can be accessed from Route 5. Member Chmura asked for clarification that there will be roadway accommodations for fire trucks and accessibility because she feels that as of right now there does not seem to be much space without doing more demolition. Mr. Pandolfe answered that the access for 3401 Lakeshore Road is off of Route 5, and this is where they are proposing a 30 ft. access easement that would not allow property owners to build on that access and keep it open. Because it is 30 ft. it actually exceeds the requirement of the New York State Fire Code. Member Chmura asked about the easement, and what the Applicant is doing with respect to any site improvements on 3401 Lakeshore Road. Mr. Santa answered that there will be heavy duty asphalt going there. Again, all to be reviewed and approved by the Engineering Department. Member Chmura asked if there had been any reports from the Fire Department about accessibility. Mr. Santa stated the reason for them pursuing secondary access was because if they did not then they would have to put a sprinkler system in the buildings, which would be much more expensive. 16
