Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes January 21, 2026 Mr. Saunders explained that the lot in question is 0.58 acres and he is looking to split this lot so it will meet two different requirements for R-2 and single-family homes. He does have a survey which was provided to Mr. Rogers at the start of the meeting. He is looking to have a single family on the lot that smaller lot, and on the bigger lot he is looking to have a duplex there. Engineering Department commented that if they are approved for two lots, Engineering will look at a drainage plan at that time.

That does not mean, however, there are none at all and the Planning Department will continue their due diligence with DEC but at this time, he does not believe there are any wetlands. Member Chmura asked what they are planning to build on the larger lot. Mr. Saunders replied that he would be looking to build a duplex.
