Hamburg Town Board 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
