WHEREAS, the State of New York has already been encroaching upon local control by proposing and enacting legislation that allows them to override local zoning regulations for various types of projects; and WHEREAS, the Hamburg Town Board desires to maintain the identity of our community and retain control over its vision for growth through local representation; and WHEREAS, the Hamburg Town Board does not believe the establishment of an Erie County Planning Board would be in the best interests of the residents of the Town of Hamburg or similarly situated municipalities across Erie County. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Hamburg Town Board believes it is crucial that local municipalities retain the right to determine their own planning actions; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Hamburg Town Board hereby opposes the creation of an Erie County Planning Board; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk shall send certified copies of this resolution to Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, members of the Erie County Legislature, and the Association of Erie County Governments. 44
