STORMWATER MANAGEMENT REPORT
FOR
J & J MANAGEMENT, INC
BOAT DISPLAY AND SALES AREA
INTRODUCTION
The J & J Management site is located just south of the intersection of Route 149 and Walkup
Cutoff Road, in the Town of Queensbury. It is the old J.M. Weller Associates property.
This report addresses drainage issues pertaining to the construction of a new boat display and
sales area, to be located in the north central portion of the property. No changes are proposed for
the portion of the site which has previously been developed.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The portion of the property where the boat display and sales area is proposed is presently vacant.
It is an open field which has periodically been mown for hay. There is a small, unnamed stream to
the west of the site which flows south into dream lake.
The main portion of the site is relatively level with the western edge dropping gently toward the
stream which is about 200 feet from the edge of the proposed display area.
The soil on the portion of the site to be developed is Hartland very fine sandy loam. These are
deep well drained soils with relatively high permeability.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND DRAINAGE IMPACT
The proposed site development will include the installation of a gravel surfaced area for boat
display and sales. This area is detailed to receive a six inch deep crushed stone surface using A I A
and 42 stone. In order to keep the surface open to infiltration of stormwater, it is specified that
no fines shall be utilized in the stone surfacing material.
Since the proposed facility will see only very limited traffic and since it is not going to be plowed
for winter use, there should be no significant change in the stormwater runoff characteristics of
the site. The runoff coefficient of the developed site should be nearly identical to the developed
site with an open gravel surface material. Therefore, no stormwater management facilities are
proposed for the site.

Re: SP 27-2001
J£r J Management-Boat Storage
Dear Mr.Round:
We have reviewed the site plan package for the above referenced project. Based on our review
we offer the following comments:
Site Plan(Sheet 1 of 2)
1. Sediment control measures should be shown at the toe of the proposed slope.
2. Additional grading information should be shown at the driveway entrance to properly
assess and facilitate construction of the entrance drive.
3. A work permit must be applied for and obtained from NYSDOT to construct the proposed
drive.
4. Based on the existing and proposed grades it appears that the drainage along Route 149
flows westerly to a depression that does not drain. Are the soils well drained? Positive
drainage should be provided to the drainage ditch located downstream from the 24"
culvert.
5. It appears that the "existing front setback" shown in the site data table should be 36' versus
38'based on the dimensioned distance shown.
6. Consideration should be given to installing filter fabric beneath the crushed stone to
prevent the native soils from migrating into the stone and plugging the voids.
7. Flared end sections with rock rip rap should be noted on the plan for the culvert under the
entrance drive.
8. The site plan should contain proposed geometry of the entrance onto Rt 149 including
width and radii..
9. It would be recommended that the driveway apron be paved at least from the road Ib the
Right-of-Way limits to facilitate ingress/egress and maintenance.
If you have any questions related to our comments, feel free to call our office.

Dear Mr. Round:
We have received a resubmittal from the applicant's engineer consisting of a response
letter dated August 6, 2001 and a revised "Site Plan" and "Landscape Plan and
Details', dated August 6, 2001 and feel that our July 20, 2001 comments have been
adequately addressed.
One point of clarification, that I have discussed with Tom Nace, is that the length of
the rock rip-rap protection at the culvert inlet and outlet should be a minimum of 5
feet. Detail A on the site plan indicates that this dimension is shown on the plan but
appears to be lacking.
If you have any questions related to this matter, feel free to call our office.

Re: J & J Management— Site Plan#27-2001 PLANNING OFFICE
Dear Mr. Houston:
In response to your review letter of July 20ei, I have revised the referent site plan and offer the
following comments:
1. I have shown a silt fence to be installed at the lower limits of site disturbance. I have also
shown a detail for the silt fence.
2. Existing and proposed spot grades have been shown to indicate a low point in the
driveway entrance.
3. Mark Kennedy has reviewed the plans for traffic safety and indicated that the Warrensburg
office will issue a permit. A Highway Work Permit Application will be submitted as soon
as a site work contractor is selected.
4. The soil on this portion of the site is a well-drained sandy loam. The existing depression
does not presently pond water. Since we are not significantly changing the drainage into
this depression, I do not believe it necessary to provide a positive outlet.
5. The existing front setback in the site notes has been corrected.
6. Since the water movement in this instance will be from the stone into the soil, and since
there will be minimal traffic on the stone, I do not believe that the filter fabric is needed for
separation.
7. A detail has been added for flared culvert end sections with rip-rap.
8. A detail has been added showing the standard DOT entrance geometry.
9. The driveway apron has been noted as asphalt pavement and a pavement detail has been
added.
Please call me if you have any questions.

Town of Queensbury Planning Board
Community Development Department Staff Notes
Project Applicant: J&J MANAGEMENT
Application No.: Site Plan 24-2001
Project Location: Route 149, Walk-up Cutoff Road, Bay Road
Zone: Highway Commercial One Acre
SEQR Status: Type II
Meeting Date: July 24, 2001
Project Description
The applicant proposes to operate a boat display and sales area. The site will be improved with
gravel and an office trailer. The applicant had received a change of zone recently to for the area
with frontage on Route 149. The parcel remains as a split zone with 1.8+ acres in the Highway
Commercial One-Acre zone and about 9 acres in the Rural Residential Three-Acre zone
Project Analysis (Section 179-38)
Site Overview
The Boat Display area is 45 feet from Route 149 with 19 display spaces. The
Office Building will be located 108 feet from Route 149. The Office Building
will be utilized for bathroom facilities. The shed or storage buildings may be
used for storage of boat inventory. The applicant does not propose repairs or
servicing boats at this site, all repair and service work will occur at the Mooring
Post Marina. The sign is to be located on the west side of the driveway. The plans
indicate two light poles will be installed at either end of the display area. The
lights will be high-pressure sodium at 250 watts.
Traffic, Circulation, Parkin
The parcel layout has road frontage on three roads. The existing site has two
entrances on Walkup Cutoff Road and one entrance on Bay Road. Warren
County Planning recommended that trailer traffic(boats on trailers, empty trailers,
boat haulers) utilize Bay Road and Walkup Cutoff Road for access. The new
proposed entrance is located on Route 149 and has a twenty-foot wide access
aisle. The display spaces front towards Route 149 and the eight customer spaces
are adjacent to the Office Trailer. The plan indicates the number of customer
spaces was determined by the applicant's experience.
The Town code does not have a requirement for how many spaces are needed for
a display area. The American Planning Association report number 432 "Off
Street Parking" has a reference for Car Sale Display as one space per 3,000 sq. ft.
of open sales lot area devoted to sale or display; the publication also has a
reference for Outdoor Retail as one space per each 1,000 square feet of lot used
for display purposes. This amounts to 3-4 spaces so parking offered is adequate.
The display and sale of boats will generate internal pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
The display area will be gravel, staff would suggest some type of signage to
added to the site informing vehicles of internal pedestrian traffic.
Utility. Stormwater, LanAcapigg Emergency Services
The applicant's Stormwater plan indicates all new stormwater will be
accommodated on site due to site design and parcel size.
Areas of Concern or Importance
The installation of a storage trailer does not appear to be in conformance with the 1998
Comprehensive Plan. The area takes into account neighborhoods 2,4,5. The proposal is in
neighborhood #4, but due to the location of the proposal the surrounding neighborhoods are
included. The plan recommends that business in this area be developed to maintain the rural
character.
Suggestions
The Board may consider requesting the applicant to utilize an existing building for office use and
improving the existing parking area for display.
