Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes January 21, 2026 Mr. Rogers said that after consideration with Ms. Jarrell, they were wondering if the Board would like some sort of conditions about the upkeep and general maintenance of the driveway aprons and the entry way. They understand that they don’t always have these conditions but due to this being a high visibility area it may be advantageous. Ms. Jarrell added that from an engineering perspective, they just wanted to make sure the Planning Board understands that in the approving of the ‘as built’ the applicant does not plan to change the remainder of the property at least for now. They have built part of their approved site plan and the rest of it is stone and some older asphalt. There is an area in the front of the map that is labeled gravel, but a lot of that area is overgrown. Engineering is concerned that if the lot is going to stay vacant that there is language for the Enforcement office to take measures so that the applicant must keep the ground clean and in good condition and not let it become overgrown. Member Chmura asked what ability do they have to would be able to enforce that? And also, questioned if there is a definition for that or what would be considered good condition. Ms. Jarrell stated when looking at the plan, they have developed the front portion, and she is more concerned with the side piece of land that then goes up the adjacent road and is then a vacant area. This area was all going to be modified in their approved site plan with two new buildings. This is the area that she wants maintained in good condition in terms of visually. Ms. Jarrell reminded the Board that this is revised site plan approval so if they do anything in the future, it is assumed that they would come back for site plan approval. She just wants to make sure that any land that is staying in its current condition is kept in good condition and maintained. This includes but is not limited to mowing and controlling vegetative overgrowth so they understand that they are not excused from keeping this site cleaned up. Member Geraci asked does the property owner primarily have the responsibility of maintaining the parking areas and the area that we were just talking about, to which the answer is yes; it is the property owner not any of the leases that are in their individual buildings. Member Stewart read the SEQR resolution: 5100 Camp Road SEQR and Approval Resolution Whereas, the Town of Hamburg received a new site plan application requesting amended Site Plan Approval of an as-built retail plaza project at 5110 Camp Road, which was originally approved in 2019; and Whereas, the Hamburg Planning Board held the required public hearing on January 7th ,2026; and 6
