the 110-, 50-, and X00-year storm. As commented, below, this, area also contains a
stormwater hots,polt and it does not appear that the hotspot runoff is treated per NYS
SM DM reqlu ireme nts,prior to discharging to,the n eighboring property.
b. The northwest portion, of the drainage area is sloped to d1raini to the, 326' contour and
325.9' spot elevation at the east side of the Ipaveld area. There appear to be firnited to
no Opportunities for infiltration or other means of stormwater conveyance In this
location and it seems, that stormwater would accumulate on the pavement and fuel
pumping Island In, this vicinity. The, applicant shall clarify their Intent for stormwater
managernent at this; sub-catchiment. As comimented below, this area, also contains a
stormwater hotspot and It does not appear that thelhotspot runoff Is treated per NYS,
Sl OM requirements.
3. The existing contours suggest that the majority of the runoff within the "Drainage Area to Dix
Ave" is concentrated in a swalle on,the east side of the site before dissipating into,shut ficyw and
reaching Dix Ave.. The propolsled grading, eliminates this swaile and 'iit seems that runoff would
instead remain concentrated along the length of the curb on the, east side of the drive'waiy
before discharging directly to, Dix Ave. The applicant shall clarify the, means of providing safe
conveyance at the discharge from the drainage area into an established storm conveyance, on,
Dix Ave.
4. The applicant has proposed to meet water quiality controls per the NYS SdVw�DM through a, 25% or
greater reduction, In Impervious area. in accordance with this option and the SIVIDIVI, the
applicant shall grade the site to minimize runoffcontribution from new pervious area onto the,
Impervious cover lie, redirect runoff from the, northern pervious area so that It does not sheet
flow onto the Impervious area to,the south),
5, The applicant appears to propose disturbance over five, (5) acres at any one 'time, As such
certain additlional provisions are Imposed by the SP,D,ES,Ge'neral I ermit and must be included in
the SWPP,P. The applicant shall clarify Intent to disturb greater than five (S) acres, at any, one
'time Bandl add the following to the SWPPP,.
a. Written authorization for disturbance over five (5) acres must be obtalned from the
NYSDEC.
b. Inspections are required at least twice per week with a minimum two,(2) day Separation

fueling positions are the maximum number of vehicles that caro fueled at the same tune. The
study bases itis trip generation on 16 fueling positions and uses ITE land Use Code (LU C), 945—

Corinth Road near 11-87 IExIlt 18 and the traffic study for that project used LUC 853—Convenience
Market with Gos41ne Pumps,.
Using the 22 fueling positions and LUC 853 yields 365 and 420 total tirips, for the AM and PiM
peaks — about double the estimates provided in the traffic study. The traffic study Should
provide an analysis based on 22 fluefing positions and LUC $53.Alternatively, the applicant may
present an analysis using store-specific trip rates calculated from a number of existing and
s1m, flar-sized Fastralufacilities.
Further, the project Includes a drivei-thru. DrIve-thrus are not typically included in this landl use
and the applicant should make further adjustments to the thip generation estimates, if the drive-
thru cities to,additional trips. Other service-type land uses In the Trio Generatfon Manua/
have higher trip rates,with d rIve-thrus than with o ut drive-thrus,
The capacity analysis needs to uipdated based on the, comments abovie. The gap ainalysis for
allowing left-turns out onto, route 254 willl also need to be revised,. Further review of the
capacity anallyses,will be provided pending resolution of the above comments.
15. The folllow Ing,cornments plertaiin to,the on-site layout and dirculation:
a. As noted ki Comment 1, drivel-thrus are not typical for this type of hand use. An analysis
should be provided to determine if the stacking length Is suftlent for the,dlirive-thru lane to
ensure that traffic will not back,-up to the site access.
b. The driveways are excessively wide at 45 feet arndl 36 feet' they should be reduced to
prevent the appearance,of multiple entrance and exit lanes

27, This Is a large project and the size, exceeds the average sample size contained in ITE's Trip
Generation, Manual, The site Is proposed at 5,800 square feet (Sf) with 26 fueling positions;
fuelling positions are the maximurni inumber olf vehicles that can fueled at the same time. The
study bases its trip generation on the 5,800 SF for a total of 238 and 296 trips in,the AM and PM
peak hours, respectively.
However, using the 26 fueling positions yields 431 and 4196 total trips fb,r the AM aindl PM peaks
—a signi int differtmice 1 n the estimates. The traffic stuidy show Id provide an analysis based on

301. The level of service results show a queue length of nearly 300,feet for the southbound Private
Drive movement at the Corinth R,oald/ ig IRay Road intersection. This extends past the exit lane
at the souithern site driveway such that left-turns, exiting the site w'illl be unable to exit, or they
may be stopped across the northbound lane. The exit lane is proposed to be about 0 feet from
the stop line at the Intersection. Left-turns exiting the site should be prohibited at this location.
1. Further review of the capacity analyses will be provided pending resolution of the above
comments.
3Z The following comments pertalin tothe on-site layout and circulation:
a. The re are three anglled parking s paces in,the front of the.store that are presurnably for large
vehicles vehicle paths in/out of the spaces should be shown on the plan to ensure that
large vehicle,access can be adequately pirovidledl.
b. Plan C-4, Neighborhood Plan, shows,a dimension of 34.7 feet from the eastern edge of the
building to,the property lune. How much width is to be provided for the side-by-side drive-
thru lane and the pass-by lame, and is it enough to adequately accommodate both lanes?
c., s noted in Comment 2,„ drive-thrus are not typical for this type of Bandl use. An ana,lysis
should be provided to determine if the stacking Ilength, is suuffIdent for the dlriwre-thru.0 lane to
ensure that traffic will not back-up to the site access.
d. "vehicle paths to access, the diesel) fuueling stations should be shown on the plan to ensure
that Ingress and egress can be,adequately provided{, especiallly considering what appears,to
be a narrow path ffor the pass-by lane adjacent to the dlrivre-thru lane.
e. There, its a bypass lame ad acent to the diesel fuelling pumps — how will vehicles, access the
lane when, the adjacent parking lanes are occupied? Also, it appears that when fueling', a
large truck could brierck access to the lane as well,
ff. For good access management practice, the site should allow for provisions for a cross
connection to the adjacent property to the east. Parking spaces at the rear of site will
preclude this.
g. Is there a rear access to the store for patrons that use the rear parking spaces' If not,,what
is the walking path to the front of the st re?'Through the drive-thru route?
