Town Board of the Town of Hamburg
August 24, 2026 Meeting
4.2. Public Hearing-Ambulance District
In the Matter of the Establishment of the Town of Hamburg Ambulance District in Town of Hamburg,
County of Erie, New York ORDER CALLING PUBLIC HEARING
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Hamburg, New York, County of Erie (Town) has
determined that the availability of reliable, adequately staffed, and properly equipped emergency
medical and ambulance services and vehicles within the Town is critical to maintaining the health,
safety and welfare of those within the Town; and
WHEREAS, prehospital emergency medical services and general ambulance services (Ambulance
Services) within the Town are currently provided through contracts with (i) the Hamburg Volunteer
Ambulance Company, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation; (ii) AMR, a private for-profit corporation; and
(iii) multiple Volunteer Fire Companies that serve the Town (collectively Ambulance Service
Providers); and
WHEREAS, under the current model, the recipient of Ambulance Services is responsible for
Ambulance Service Provider costs, which are paid either through health insurance reimbursement
(including Medicare and Medicaid) and/or direct payment (which is not always collected from such
recipients); and
WHEREAS, the Ambulance Service Providers receive insufficient revenue from insurance
reimbursements and direct payments to sustain their operations within the Town, and this revenue
shortfall is expected to increase due to rising call volumes, increased staffing and equipment needs, and
declining volunteer capacity for the Volunteer Fire Companies; and
WHEREAS, the continuation of the current patient-pay Ambulance Services framework within the
Town is not financially feasible, and is therefore not sustainable; and
WHEREAS, for these reasons, Town Board of the Town, pursuant to Article 12-a of the New York
Town Law, desires to establish the Town of Hamburg Ambulance District (Ambulance District or
District) to provide adequate funding, and a stable and sustainable funding mechanism, to meet the
Ambulance Services needs within the Town, including the continued availability of reliable, adequately
staffed, and properly equipped emergency medical and ambulance services and vehicles for those
within the Town; and
WHEREAS, the Town has prepared a Map, Plan and Report for, and to support the potential formation
of, an Ambulance District (Report), in such detail as required by Section 209-c of the Town Law; and
WHEREAS, the Report has been filed with the Town Clerks Office and is available for public
inspection; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the Town that the Ambulance District includes all properties
within the boundaries of the Town, including all properties located within the Villages of Blasdell and
Hamburg (the Villages); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 12-a of the Town Law, the Villages may be included in the proposed
25
Page 26
District on consent of each Village expressed in a local law, ordinance, or resolution, subject to a
referendum on petition under section twenty-four of the municipal home rule law or a permissive
referendum under article five-a of the village law, as the case may be; and
WHEREAS, because the final boundaries of the District are contingent upon the consent of each
Village, the geographic boundary of the District could include: (i) all properties within the boundaries
of the Town, but excluding properties located within the Villages; (ii) all properties within the
boundaries of the Town, including properties located within the Villages; or (iii) all properties within
the boundaries of the Town, but excluding properties located within one of the Villages; and
WHEREAS, Exhibit 1 of the Report, which is incorporated by reference herein, is a map depicting the

Part 2 - Identification of Potential Project Impacts Date : 8/19/2026
Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could
be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency=s reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental
professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that
can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the
most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the
lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity.
If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding
with this assessment.
Tips for completing Part 2:
Review all of the information provided in Part 1.
Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook.
Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2.
If you answer “Yes” to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section.
If you answer “No” to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question.
Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact.
Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency
checking the box “Moderate to large impact may occur.”
The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis.
If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub-questions for the general
question and consult the workbook.
When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the whole action.
Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts.
Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project.

Part 3 - Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts
and
Determination of Significance
Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question
in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular
element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact.
Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess
the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not
have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its
determination of significance.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
To complete this section:
• Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity,
size or extent of an impact.
• Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact
occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to
occur.
• The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes.
• Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where
there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse
environmental impact.
• Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact
• For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that
no significant adverse environmental impacts will result.
• Attach additional sheets, as needed.

Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF, as noted, plus this additional support information
Documentation submitted by the applicant and the expanded part 3 information
and considering both the magnitude and importance of each identified potential impact, it is the conclusion of the
Town of Hamburg Town Board as lead agency that:
✔ A. This project will result in no significant adverse impacts on the environment, and, therefore, an environmental impact
statement need not be prepared. Accordingly, this negative declaration is issued.
B. Although this project could have a significant adverse impact on the environment, that impact will be avoided or
substantially mitigated because of the following conditions which will be required by the lead agency:
There will, therefore, be no significant adverse impacts from the project as conditioned, and, therefore, this conditioned negative
declaration is issued. A conditioned negative declaration may be used only for UNLISTED actions (see 6 NYCRR 617.d).
C. This Project may result in one or more significant adverse impacts on the environment, and an environmental impact
statement must be prepared to further assess the impact(s) and possible mitigation and to explore alternatives to avoid or reduce those
impacts. Accordingly, this positive declaration is issued.

Part 3 Analysis
Alumni Park Improvements
4899 Big Tree Road, Hamburg, NY 14075
8/24/2026
Based on Part 1 and Part 2 of the FEAF, information submitted by the Applicant, correspondence
received, and discussions of the Town Board, the following potentially moderate to large impacts were
identified, and have been analyzed:
Project Description and Action
See FEAF Part 1.
3. Impact on Surface Water
The project will physically disturb less than an acre, and will not require a SWPPP or a
stormwater management area.
A survey of the property identifies the extent of wetlands as being federally jurisdictional and only
includes the extent of the Rush Creek tributary that makes up the Southern boundary of the
parcel. There are no State wetlands of any kind, jurisdictional or non-jurisdictional, on the Project
Site.
On the FEMA FIRMETTE Map, the project site is not identified as being within the 100-year or the
500-year floodplain. A fence will be provided to buffer park users from entering or falling into the
banks of the Rush Creek tributary, and no buildings or structures are proposed within 10 feet of
the Creek.
Information submitted and Analysis: FEAF Part 1, Site Plan, FEMA Floodplain Map
Conclusion: The project is not anticipated to have a significant impact on surface waters.
11. Impact on Open Space and Recreation
The proposed project will be constructed on Town-owned land that has been used recreationally
as a park and a playground. The Town will be improving upon this recreational resource, and will
continue to allow the land to be open for public use. Existing playground equipment will be
replaced and updated, and more public amenities, such as additional seating, public statues and
observatories, public artwork, and flag football activities will be available for continued
recreational use.
97
Page 98
Information submitted and Analysis: FEAF Part 1, Proposed Site Plan
Conclusion: The project is not anticipated to have a significant impact on open space and
recreation.
13. Impact on Transportation
The site is bounded by 20-A (Big Tree Road) to the north, Manor Lane to the west, Marilyn Drive
to the south, and Parker Road to the east. Land uses within the vicinity of the project site are
generally residential, recreational, and institutional, with ECC South Campus and Highmark
Stadium being walking distance from the project site.
Access to the site will be provided via the existing driveway along Parker Road, which is a Town
road. The proposed project is for public recreational use.
The area deals with traffic volume/traffic access concerns on Bills gamedays and other events
that are held at Highmark Stadium. To try to mitigate these traffic impacts, the Town is planning
to have shuttle service for users of Alumni Park, to reduce the amount of vehicular traffic coming
in and out of Parker Road and adjoining residential streets. Parking will also be available in
adjacent lots on Parker Road. The Town will continue to partner with the State DOT to evaluate
traffic impacts/concerns on game days and event days on 20-A.
A NYSDOT highway work permit is not needed at this time, and if any changes are made to the
site plan and work would be needed in the State right of way, a highway work permit would then
be required.
Information submitted and Analysis: FEAF Part 1, Site Plan
Conclusion: Based on the information provided above, the project is not anticipated to have a
significant impact on transportation.
15. Impact on Noise, Odor, and Light
The project will temporarily produce excess sound during park events and activities, primarily on
Bills gamedays and on weekends. The project will need to follow Town noise ordinance, which is
from 11 pm to 7 am. Any and all lighting fixtures will be dark sky complaint and directed so as to
not shed light on adjacent properties. Fencing and landscaping will be provided to shield the
adjoining residential neighborhood to the south of the project site which is across the Creek. The
project is not anticipated to produce adverse odors.
Information submitted and Analysis: FEAF Part 1, Site Plan
Conclusion: The project is not anticipated to have a significant impact on noise, odor, and light.
