Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes January 21, 2026 Member Chmura asked if all buildings have to have sprinklers, and if they are also providing private fire hydrants. The Applicant answered yes. Per the Fire Code, the buildings will now have to be sprinklered and they have acknowledged that in writing. Member Chmura asked if the Applicant understood where they are going to be accessing the line in order to provide the private fire hydrants and if it was even feasible. The Applicant answered yes that it would be connecting to the existing water main along Route 5. Member Chmura asked if there are any implications with respect to the easement that is being developed in order to allow for that access. The Applicant explained that in addition to the access easement, they would probably have to provide a utility easement. It will be an all-inclusive easement. It would all be included in that easement so that no one builds on top of the water service. A motion was made that the applicant was to complete a Full Environmental Assessment Form (FEAF) by Member Chmura, and was seconded by Member Ryan, and passed by all members. It was determined that once the full Site Plan is completed, it will be circulated to the local fire department for their comment and review. Member Chmura asked that Traffic Safety also be included in reviewing the project. Mr. Rogers asked if the applicant could provide whatever efforts they are willing to take to have meetings with their neighbors, and what form those meetings will take. Mr. Hopkins stated that his client would prefer to meet with the neighbors on an individual basis. Mr. Santa does reside on this site, so if anyone would like to reach out to him, they are welcome to. Mr. Rogers explained the next steps of the project. The Planning Board authorized Mr. Rogers to draft and send out coordinated review materials and circulate them to different agencies for the project. The project was tabled to the February 18th, 2026 Planning Board meeting. OTHER BUSINESS Member Ryan made a motion, seconded by Member Geraci, to adjourn the meeting. Carried. 17
