Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes January 7, 2026 “In order to hear from all the residence at a reasonable hour, a three-minute rule will apply during a public hearing. A public hearing is an opportunity for the community to share information on how they are impacted by the project. It is not a question-and- answer period, and I stress that we are not here to answer questions. All statements made during the hearing, as well as written correspondence, will be sent to the Planning Board as well as the applicant for response at a later time.” Chair Gronachan declared the public hearing open. No one spoke. Chair Gronachan declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Reilly reiterated that the Planning Boards action tonight would be to authorize the Planning Department to prepare two resolutions. The question presented to the Planning Board was “There was a secrete negative declaration issued for this project. We can either note that on the record that there are not major enough changes to warrant changes to that negative declaration, or would you like to reissue a negative declaration?” There is also a condition that the applicant would work with the Building Department in the relocation of the sign and cover the sign that is already there. Mr. Reilly stated that the only action would be to authorize Josh on what the Board would like to do with the SEQR and any other conditions they would like to add. The Town of Hamburg Planning Board Chair authorized draft resolutions to be prepared for the January 21st Planning Board meeting with a note about the sign and that the existing sign needs to be covered. Public Hearing- 7:00 PM, Boston State Holdings, LLC- Requesting Preliminary Plat Approval for a 2-lot subdivision for an additional single-family lot to be spit from the Village at Cedar Valley at 3385 Cedar Valley Way Mr. David Burke appeared on behalf of the project as well as Attorney Sean Hopkins. It was stated that this project was originally subjected to a very long review and approval process that did include issuance of a negative declaration pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act. Looking at that document, it shows the density of the project with one additional family home is lower than what it was at the original point, so from a SEQR perspective there are no impacts associated with this request. Member Geraci read the following notice of public hearing: “Notice is hereby given that the Town of Hamburg Planning Board will conduct a Public Hearing on a two-lot subdivision for an additional single-family lot to be split from the Village at Cedar Valley at 3385 Cedar Valley Way. The Public Hearing will be held on January 7, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. in Room 7A/7B of Hamburg Town Hall.” 2
