APPLICANT: Landcrafter, LLC
9 Halada Drive
Lake George, NY 12845
Landcrafter, LLC is proposing modification to the existing site located at 704 Glen Street in order
to allow for an interconnection to 708 Glen Street, to allow traffic from 708 Glen Street to exit to
Lafayette Street. The project site is an approximately 1.07-acre parcel location in the Northeast
quadrant of the intersection of Glen Street and Lafayette Street in the Town of Queensbury, NY.
The existing property is a fully developed site that is currently a mixed-use commercial facility. The
proposed site modification will not result in a change in use or intensity on the project site.
The existing building is connected to the municipal water and sewer utilities and this project does
not propose any change of use or other modifications that would result in increased water and
sewer demands. A shallow grassed depression will be added to the site in order to collect the
runoff from the new impervious area. Overall the proposed soil disturbance on the site will be
under 1 acre and therefore the site does not require a NYSDEC SPDES Permit.
As summarized below the proposed project will be compliant with section 179-9-080 of the Town
of Queensbury Code.
A. The proposed project does not propose any change in use or intensity of use and therefore
remains consistent with the Towns Comprehensive Plan.
B. A variance has been requested for relief from the greenspace requirement in order to allow
for the interconnect between parcels. No other modifications are proposed for the property.
C. There are existing sidewalks located along the frontage on Main Street that allow for
pedestrian access that will remain.
D. The proposed project will not result in any modification to the current sewer connection and
will not result in any increase in sewer flow rates.
E. The proposed project does not propose any change in use or intensity of use and
therefore remains in harmony with the general purpose of the Town Code.
F. The proposed project will not increase the intensity of the proposed use and therefore will
not increase traffic volume. The proposed site modification will be consistent with the
existing traffic access and circulation and will improve the traffic circulation on the
neighboring site.
G. The proposed modifications to the site will not result in any changes to the the amount of
on-site parking.

H. The proposed project will have no impact on the natural, scenic, aesthetic, ecological,
wildlife, historic, recreational or open space resources of the town.
I. The proposed project will not result in any changes to the existing pedestrian access and
circulation.
J. The proposed project will not result in any increase in runoff from the site. Post-
• construction stormwater management will be provided in accordance with the Town Code
for the new impervious area.
K. The proposed project does not include any modifications to the existing water and sewer
services and does not propose any increase in water and sewer usage from existing.
L. The existing landscaping areas on site will remain.
M. The proposed site modification will not result in the increased demand for emergency
services or fire protection. The proposed project will not restrict any existing fire lanes and
access to the site.
N. Portions of the site will be regraded and stormwater devices will be added in order to
ensure there is not standing water on site between storm events.
O. The proposed project conforms to all applicable design and performance standards of

• Stormwater Management Assessment Letter, prepared by Environmental Design Partnership,
LIP,dated March 2013;and
• A Site Plan Application with supporting documentation.
Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of stormwater management and
erosion and sediment control items as it relates to compliance to local, state or relevant codes and
regulations. Based upon our review of the information provided, Chazen offers the following comments
for the Town's consideration:
Stormwater Management&Erosion and Sediment Control:
1. The proposed residential redevelopment project disturbs less than 1 acre of land and will not be
subject to NYSDEC Phase II Stormwater Regulations.

2. The Site Plan Application indicates a total area of land disturbance for the project of 500 SF.
However, the project is proposing 2,060 SF of new impervious surface, as well as 1,840 SF of
impervious surface removal,which would both constitute disturbance.The Applicant shall revise
the documents appropriately.
3. The Stormwater Management Assessment Letter indicates that the existing parking lot drains
from south to north and flows to an existing stone infiltration trench that was previously
approved in April 2011 by the Planning Board.Since the tributary impervious area to this trench
will be reduced by 450 SF under the current modifications,the Applicant states that alterations
to the stone trench are not required. It is requested that the Applicant confirm that the existing
practice is not experiencing any issues in regard to flooding. It is recommended that the
Applicant revise his stormwater management summary to discuss the existing conditions of the
infiltration trench.
4. The Stormwater Management Assessment Letter indicates that the existing roof drains into a
stone eave trench at the perimeter of the building. The location and limits of the eave trench
shall defined on the plans. In addition, if the new entry canopies are intended to be guttered to
the existing eave trench, then this shall be clearly noted on the plans. Similarly to comment 3
above, the Applicant shall confirm that the existing eave trench is not experiencing any issues
with flooding.
5. The Applicant does not depict any erosion and sediment controls on the submitted site plans. It
is recommended that the Applicant implement the use of silt fence downgradient of the
proposed disturbance areas. The Applicant should include a detail and construction
specifications for this measure in accordance with the NYS Standards and Specifications for
Erosion and Sediment Control.
Conclusions and Recommendations
it is our opinion that the applicant should provide clarification for the above items and incorporate the
changes in subsequent plan submissions.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please do not hesitate to me at(518)824-1926.
Sincerely,
