January 13, 2022 Mr. Craig Brown Zoning Administrator and Code Compliance Officer Town of Queensbury 742 Bay Road Queensbury, New York 12804 Delivered via email only: CraigB@gueensbury.net Re: Civatella Residence Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York LaBella Project#92100.42 Queensbury Ref#SP55-2021 Dear Mr. Brown: LaBella Associates has received the latest submission responding to comments offered by LaBella on September 23`d, 2021. Based upon our review, LaBella offers the following comments for the Town's consideration: Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Comments 1. In response to comment 2 of LaBella's September 23, 2021 comment letter regarding the minor project stormwater calculations, the Applicant has provided two methodologies the 1.5 gallons/net square feet in impervious and a 25-year storm hydraulic/hydrologic model. Both calculation methodologies require additional information to make a determination if the stormwater requirements are being satisfied. 25-year Storm Model The Hydrocad model does not appear to show all model inputs, including but not limited to, the time of concentration calculations. Also, the time of concentration flow paths shall be included on the pre/post development subcatchment maps. Further, it does not appear that soil test pits and infiltration test pits were performed for the rain garden,which is modeled as an infiltration practice. The Applicant shall show all HydroCAD model inputs and revise the subcatchment maps accordingly. The Applicant shall provide test pits and infiltration tests for all practices modeled with infiltration. 1.5 Gallon Method The Applicant provides calculations on sheet SC-2, which state that 957 cubic feet is the volume to be infiltrated using this methodology. The Applicant provides the available storage breakdown, which totals 1,099 cubic feet. However, the 957 cubic feet shall be directed to an infiltration practice and this requirement does not appear to be satisfied since the gravel trench and permeable pavers patio are not being considered infiltration practices by the Applicant. The Applicant shall provide test pits and infiltration tests for all infiltration practices required to meet this methodology that appears to include the gravel trench, permeable pavers patio,and rain garden. 20 Elm Street s Suite 110 ;Glens Falls.

In response to comment 8 of LaBella's September 23, 2021 comment letter regarding soil and infiltration tests, the Applicant suggested performing more tests at the time of construction. However, it does not appear that test pits/infiltration tests have been performed in close proximity or within each practice location (also commented above). The Applicant shall perform soil tests and infiltration tests within or in close proximity to all infiltration practices required to meet the stormwater requirements. 3. In response to comment 10 and 12 of LaBella's September 23, 2021 comment letter regarding the separation distance requirements for the proposed,the Applicant has stated that the"permeable paves will no longer be infiltrating stormwater..." Ultimately the NYS DOH will review the proposed well location, so we have no further comment. 4. In response to comment 11 of LaBella's September 23, 2021 comment letter regarding neighboring septic fields and neighboring water wells, the Applicant states that prior to construction, staff will verify the location of neighboring fields and wells.Since this is applicable to the stormwater review,the Applicant shall depict neighboring water wells within a reasonable distance(200 feet)and should depict neighboring septic absorption fields if they are within 20 feet of a proposed infiltration device. Conclusion &Recommendation It is our opinion that the applicant should provide clarification for the above items and incorporate changes in subsequent plan submissions. In the event the Planning Board or Town staff have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at(518) 824-1926. Sincerely, Sean M.
