Town of Hamburg Board of Zoning Appeals March 3, 2026 Minutes The Town of Hamburg Board of Zoning Appeals met for a Regular Meeting on Tuesday, March 3, 2026 at 7:00 P.M. in Room 7B of Hamburg Town Hall, 6100 South Park Avenue. Those attending included Chairman Ric Dimpfl, Vice-Chairman Nicole Falkiewicz, Commissioner Laura Hahn, Commissioner Jack Kuebler, Commissioner Jeff Adrian and Commissioner Dennis Chapman. Also in attendance were Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Skrzypek and Board of Zoning Appeals Attorney Joseph Gogan. Board members recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Dimpfl asked for a moment of silence in honor of our active military and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Chairman Dimpfl pointed out the location of the two (2) fire exits in the room. Commissioner Hahn read the Notice of Public Hearing. Application # 6140 Lenexa Southwestern LLC – Requesting two (2) area variances for two (2) additional attached signs at 5400 Southwestern Blvd (Zoned C-2) Jillian Konarski appeared to speak on behalf of Texas Roadhouse for both area variance applications. Her office address is 92 East Main Street Suite 410 in Summerville, NJ. Konarski explained that the first area variance is for a Texas Roadhouse logo sign on the eastern face of the building, facing Walmart parking lot. This sign is to help for way finding since there is going to be a multi-tenant building sitting closer to the road than the Texas Roadhouse. This would allow the people traveling west on Southwestern Blvd to be able to find the restaurant. The second area variance is for the signs on the opposite side of the building facing the parking lot for the restaurant. There would be two small signs above each door – one for the main entrance and one to label the take out door. This will limit the congestion in the restaurant at the hostess stand for pick up orders. A variance is needed for this because it would be two signs on one façade. Chairman Dimpfl asked Code Enforcement officer Jeffery Skrzypek to clarify why the variances were needed. Skrzypek stated that a variance is needed because the one wall has two signs and code allows a single. The other variance is needed because that side of the building does not have a public entrance or face the public right-of-way which is a requirement in the code. William Crapo, who lives at 5354 Rogers Road, attended to speak on the variance. He is right across the street from the Walmart exit on Rogers Road. He was curious to see what the sign would look like because it would be facing his house. He was concerned that there would be too much light pollution that would shine into the home at night. Konarski brought up the plans
