Town of Hamburg Planning Board Minutes January 7, 2026 Chair Gronachan declared the public hearing open. 1. Michael Pack of 3358 Cedar Valley Way, looking for clarification of the following: a. Is the project going to be part of the Cedar Valley Community, as there is a $350.00 HOA fee? b. If they are not part of the Cedar Valley Community, who will be responsible for paying the fee as the money goes towards maintaining the pond on the property? 2. Brandon Sieteski of 3357 Cedar Valley Way, voicing opposition to the proposal: a.

There is only one entry way in and out of the neighborhood and there is already a lot of traffic as there are 144 homes there plus the additional, what he believes to be 144 units, withing the Village at Cedar Valley. c.

Mr. Reilly explained that this is a simple minor subdivision but because this is part of an approved overall plan, it does make it a little more difficult. Member Clark was wondering if there was any discussion on what this space was for originally, and asked if the minutes could be reviewed to see if they were discussed. Mr. Reilly said that he looked at the Green Space Plan and it wasn’t part of it but if he remembers correctly, it was part of the open space located at the entrance between the development and Pleasant Avenue. He does not think that they can add another driveway out to Pleasant. He questions if they are going to create a problem because of placing a driveway at the busiest intersection when the entire development feeds out to Pleasant Avenue. That could have been a reason why it was left alone. He 3
