7,5CO square feet building. Submitted information includes the following:

0 Einkineees Narrative,dated May 17,2017;
6 Drainage Report, prepared by Bohler Engineering,dated May 17, 2017

dated May 10,2017,
Your ofte has requested that we Ilirrrit our review to the design of stormwater system as it relates, to
compliance to local, state or relevant codes and regulations. Based upon our review, Chazen offers the
fol low!ng comments for the Town'sconsideration-.
Stormwater Manage ment&Erosion and Sediment Control.
1. The Iproject proposes to disturb an area,of 0.76 acres,(according to the EAF) and does not require
the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) In accordaince,with GP-0-15-
002, that includes erosion and sediment controls as well as post construction storm titer
management Ipracticnes.
2. Section 179-6-080 of the Town Code, states that stormwater drainage, plans shall analyze the
impacts of a project using at least a 50-year return Interval storm with regards to both runoff rate
and volume for commercial projects. Section 179-6-080-C states that 'WAR storm woter

equal to or less thon ;fir Lo-develoi run-off. Post-development direction of flow and type of
discharge shall be the same as pre-deve/opment condiftions.". The drainage report does not
include, analysis of the 50-year storm. The Applicant shall revise the draini report to include
analysis of at least the,50-year storm and einsuire conformance to Section 179-6-0801.Once the SO-
year storm anailys,is Is provided,a full review of the proposed stormwater system will occur.
3. The Discharge Quantity (cfs), Summary Table in the Engineer's Narrative indicates an, increase in
runoff rate in the 10 and 10th-year storm scenarios; the drainage report also details the Increase
in therunciff rate to the Gilen Street systets["r This,does not conform to Section 179-6,0180. Also, It
was communicated to our officie,that thee existing storm systern along Glen Street(State Hilighway
41 7) is near capacity; the Applicant shall contact the New York State DOT regarding the existing
and proposed d�ra I nage cond itions that occur within,the DOT right-of-way.
4w The site plan infiltration basin broad-crested weir elevation differs, from the site plan to the
HydroCAD model 1(330,010,vs, 330.301);The Applicant to,revise,accordingly.
5. The HydroCAD miodlel does not include the full iniflowdepth,as Indicated lay the '5�" forthe Inflow
Depth, which is most likely due to an insufficient t1me span. The Applicant shall revisle the
Hydrocul] m ode l so the f u VI effects of the storm are realized.
G., The,Applicant uses an exfiltratlon irate (infiltration) of 1.5 inches per Ihour in the HydroCAD model
for the proposed infiltration basin. It does not appear that soill tests, and Infiltration tests ,were
performed. The Applicant shall clarify how the infiltration rate, was determined. The Applicant
sha,111 provide test pit Information that shows conformance to, the 3-feet of separation from, the
bottom of an infiltration facility to seasonally high groundwater/ bedrock.
7. The drainage report does not mention what pre-treatment practices are proposed prior to, the
infiltration basin. The Applicant to clairlfywhat pre-treatment practices are proposed to ensure
the infiltration practice is protected from sedimentation,
' . It appears that a drop curb section behind the proposed building to the northeast is irntendedl to
convey runoff to the southeast,of the site; and according,to the proposed conditions, model this
area is tributary to the, proposed infiltration baisin. It: is difficult to disicern, from, the existing
contours in this area, if the runoff will flow to the proposed infiltration. basin or, like the existing
conditions will runciff flow,behindd the adjacent property., The Applicant to clarify.
91. It does not appear that a draft 5tormwater maintenance agreement was provided with this
stub m ission.The Applicant to consult with the town if they w ish,to enter in an agreement with the
Applicant. A draft stormwater maintenance agreement is provided in Section 147 Attachment 5
of the town's code.
