Staff Comments
• Location-The project is located at 106 Bay Parkway on a parcel of 0.91 acres.
• Arrangement- The project involves a tear down and construction of a new home. The project includes
in of a new septic system, stormwater management, and drive-way area. The existing home is a
log style home building approximately in 1941.
• Building—The home to be constructed is 5,436 sq ft footprint includes a porte-cochere and an attached
garage. The patio are to be installed is 1,800 sq ft. The project includes a covered walkway of 692 sq ft
that is to extend from the proposed house to a new home on the adjoining property. The new floor area is
8,670 sq ft.
• Site conditions-The property is an odd configuration where most of the site will be disturbed for
construction but minimal disturbance of the shoreline.
• Grading and drainage plan, Sediment and erosion control-The project includes 0.54 acres of disturbance and
plans show the silt fence location on the property. The grading of the property is also shown between 323 to
325 for the finished floor. The project is subject to a major stormwater permit as the project consists of
greater than 15000 sq ft of disturbance. The plans show the rain garden locations. The project has been
referred to the Town Engineer for review and comment.
• Landscape plan-The project site is located on Lake George and is subject to the shoreline buffer review. The
applicant has indicated a new set of plantings to occur around the house. No plantings along the shoreline are to be
removed.There are some new plantings on the east shoreline proposed. Below are the guidelines from the shoreline
buffer.code section
o Shoreline Buffer- Section 179-8-040
-Minimum width 35 ft(Lake George)
-For every 700 sgft of shoreline buffer area—one large tree minimum 3 inches in diameter
-For every 350 sq ft of ground cover-7—24 in native shrubs; 14 herbaceous plants
Project site
" -465 ft of shoreline per survey
-Shoreline buffer 465 ft X 35 ft width is 16,275 sq ft
-Shoreline buffer area-16,275/700=23.25 round up to 24—twenty-four large trees at 3 inch diameter
-Ground cover-16,275/350=46.5 round up to 47 (X7)=329 native shrubs and 47 (X14)herbaceous plants=658
o Shoreline Cutting restrictions- Section 179-6-050
Shoreline lots are allowed water access and beaches where 30% of the shoreline or maximum of 75 ft
whichever is less
- 465 ft Shoreline X 30%= 139.5 feet of the shoreline buffer cut to allow a view, access and to reduce runoff
(such as angled across the lot).
Cross reference 179-8-040 ground cover of shrubs and herbaceous plantings are still applicable within the
30%/75 ft cut area.
• Site lighting plan-Lighting information was not provided and Staff suggests confinning residential light fixtures are
downward cast cutoff.
• Utility details-The plan shows anew holding tank system to be installed. Approved by the local BOH.The water
supply is drawn from the lake.
• Elevations-The elevations show the view of the home, an attached porte cochere(second garage), an attached garage
and the covered open walkway.
• Floor plans-The first floor plan shows, living room area,kitchen, dining room,the porte-cochere, media room, small
office, game room, and a three car garage. Note the area labeled wet bar will have no kitchen elements. The second
floor plan shows bathrooms, closets, bedrooms, and the garage area will be open with no second floor.
• Waivers-Planning staff has reviewed the applicants request for waivers that include items g. site lighting, h. signage, n
traffic, o. commercial alterations/construction details, r. construction/demolition disposal s. snow removal.
• The waivers requested—Staff finds it reasonable to request a waiver as these items are typically associated with
commercial projects. The applicant has provided information on j. stormwater, k. topography, 1. landscaping p
floor plans, q. soil logs.
9_: Pursuant to Section 179-9-050 the Planning Board may grant waivers on its own initiative or at the written request
of an applicant. The Board is to review the waivers and to determine if they are to be granted.
Nature of Variance
Still under review by the ZBA. Revised February 2022. The new home is to be located 46 ft.to the east shoreline, 35 ft.to
the west shoreline where 50 ft. is required. The covered walkway is to be 0 ft.from the west side setback where a 20 ft.
setback is required. The project proposes two garages where only one is allowed—the porte-cochere is considered a
garage, due to width of open sides allowing vehicles. Relief is also requested for setbacks for stormwater device Note:
Permeability 77.9%is proposed where 75%is required-no permeability relief is requested. The floor area proposed is
8,670 sq ft where 8,687 sq ft is the maximum size allowed—no floor area relief is requested.
Summary
Pending ZBA review.

Re: West Residence—Main House
Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York
Chazen Project#92100.38
Queensbury Ref#SP51-2021
Dear Mr. Brown:
LaBella Associates has received the latest submission responding to comments offered by LaBella August 18,
2021. Based upon our review, LaBella offers the following comments for the Town's consideration:
Stormwater Management& Erosion and Sediment Control:
1. Since the last submission, both the West Main House (SP51-2021) and West Guest House (52-2021)
HydroCAD models have been combined. Some of the subcatchments cross the properties lines for the two
applications. This has made a review of the Minor project requirements (West Guest) and Major project
requirements(West Main)difficult.We respectfully request these two HydroCAD models/analysis are kept
separate.For instance,the West Guest parcel(Minor project standards)would require all post-development
impervious surfaces to be tributary to an infiltration practice, because the existing condition includes no
impervious surfaces. However subcatchment S13 (West Guest parcel) is not tributary to an infiltration
practice and therefore would not conform to the Minor project requirements.
2. Please note that some of the comments below may change the post-development runoff rate and volume,
so a review of the rate and volume requirements will occur once the changes are incorporated.
3. In response to comment 3 of LaBella's August 18,2021 comment letter,the Applicant updated the mapping.
However, the thickness of the subcatchment boundary lines compared to the thickness of other linetypes
makes the subcatchment map undiscernible. We respectfully request the Applicant revise the
subcatchment map so it is discernable.
4.' In response to comment 7 of LaBella's August 18, 2021 comment letter,the Applicant performed five test
pits and three infiltration tests. While this is helpful to characterize the existing soils, most proposed
infiltration practices do not include a deep soil test pit and infiltration test within the proposed bounds of
the practice. Further,the existing conditions plan does not include at what depth the infiltration tests were
performed at.The Applicant shall perform deep soil test pits and infiltration tests within the bounds of the
infiltration practices. The test pits and infiltration tests shall meet the standards prescribed in the NYS
Stormwater Management Design Manual (See Appendix D).

5. In response to comment 8 of LaBella's August 18, 2021 comment letter, the Applicant states: "Several
infiltration devices are proposed within 100 feet of Lake George, we will be requesting a variance for these
devices. The location of the neighboring drinking water supplies are being located and will be shown on the
plans once located." The Applicant to provide the revised plan showing the neighboring drinking water
supplies once completed.
6- In response to comment 9 of LaBella's August 18, 2021 comment letter, the Applicant states that
approximate locations of the neighboring wastewater treatment systems are being located and will be
shown on the plans once they are located.The Applicant to provide the revised plan once they are located.
7. In response to comment 11 of LaBella's August 18, 2021 comment letter, the Applicant stated that gravel
filter strips are proposed along the edge of the drive where that is directly contributing to the grass
depression. It does not appear that the gravel filter strip treats the entire tributary area. It does not appear
that pre-treatment practices are provided forthe grass depression(GD#2 models exfiltration),rain gardens,
and drip edges.Town code section 147-11.1(3)(d)[3] requires pre-treatment devices for infiltration practices.
The Applicant to revise accordingly.
8.. In response to comment 12 of LaBella's August 18,2021 comment letter,the Applicant states that the model
has been updated to use 0.5 inches/hour to represent the slower more restrictive infiltration rate through
the soil media. However, it does not appear that the HydroCAD model is setup this way. For instance, the
HydroCAD model takes exfiltration at the bottom of the practice which is the stone layer, not the soil media
layer. The exfiltration through the soil media would occur at the basal surface area of the practice and the
HydroCAD model shall be revised accordingly
9.. In response to comment 13, of LaBella's August 18, 2021 comment letter, the Applicant indicated the
locations of the roof leaders. Once the subcatchment map is discernable the roof leader locations can be
corresponded to the subcatchment map.
10. It does not appear that the grading plan for Rain Garden#1 matches the HydroCAD model. First,the surface
area in HydroCAD states a surface area of 308 square feet, however the plans appear to indicate
approximately 275 square feet. Second,there is not sufficient spot grades on the grading plan to allow for
a full review of the elevations in the HydroCAD model. The HydroCAD model would indicate the basal
surface area would be 324.25 and the top of the garden would be 325.00, however the grading plan does
not show either of those elevations. Third, based on the rain garden detail (sheet 8), it is unclear how the
HydroCAD model takes exfiltration credit for the whole surface area, however based on the footing
drain/impermeable line, exfiltration would not occur over the entire surface area. This comment appears
to also apply to Rain Garden 2, Rain Garden 3, Rain Garden 4, Rain Garden 5, and Rain Garden 6. The
Applicant to revise accordingly.
11. It does not appear that the drip edge infiltration practices include the winter infiltration provisions and shall
be revised accordingly.
12. The grading plan does not appear to be detailed enough to verify the elevations modeled in HydroCAD for
the drip edges.The Applicant to revise accordingly.
13. The grading and utility plan for grass depression #3 does not appear to match the HydroCAD model. First,
the Applicant to add more spot grades to allow for a review of the surface area at elevation 325.5. Second,

there appears to be underdrain proposed that is not modeled in HydroCAD. The Applicant to revise
accordingly.
14. The grading and utility plan for grass depression #2 does not provide sufficient information to allow for a
review of the HydroCAD model.The HydroCAD model indicates 175 square feet at elevation 324.5,however
the grading plan only provides one spot grade at 324.5 and therefore it is impossible to verify the surface
area at that elevation.The Applicant to revise accordingly.
15. The grading and utility plan for grass depression #1 does not provide sufficient information to allow for a
review of the HydroCAD model. The HydroCAD model indicates 1536 square feet at elevation 322.9,
however the grading plan only provides a few spot grades at that elevation and therefore it is impossible to
verify the surface area at that elevation. Further the utility plan appears to depict underdrain below the
depression, however the underdrain is not modeled.The Applicant to revise accordingly.
16. In regard to the grass depressions that are not modeled as infiltration practices, town code section 147-
11.1(3)(d)[2] requires vegetated depressions to dewater in 1 day.The Applicant shall model and indicate the
method of dewatering.
17. There does not appear to be a porous pavement detail. The Applicant to provide a detail in the next
submission.
• Conclusion&Recommendations
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.

Dear Mr. Brown:
LaBella Associates (LaBella) has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced
project. The Applicant is proposing construction of two new self storage buildings (10,000 SF), additional
parking and travel surfaces, landscaping, and on-site stormwater management. Information submitted to
!: our office for review includes the following:
• Elevations, Existing Landscape, and Floor plan, prepared by EDP LLP, dated February 15,2022;
• Footcandle analysis, prepared by EDP LLP, dated February 15, 2022;
• Project Narrative, prepared by EDP LLP, dated February 15, 2022;
• Properties within 500 ft, prepared by EDP LLP, dated February 15, 2022;
• Site Plan Application, prepared by EDP LLP, dated February 15, 2022;
• Site Plans, prepared by EDP LLP, dated February 15, 2022;
• Stormwater Design Report, prepared by EDP LLP, dated February 15, 2022, and;
• EAF Mapper Summary Report, prepared by EDP, LLC, dated December 17, 2021.
Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of stormwater system as it relates to
compliance with local, state, or relevant codes and regulations. Based upon our review, LaBella offers the
following comments for the Town's consideration:
Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Comments
1. According to the site plan review application,the proposed site improvements will disturb less than one
(1)acre and thus the project is not required to obtain coverage under the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit
for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (GP-0-20-001). Comments related to the
stormwater management and erosion and sediment control features proposed for the site are offered
below:
2 Section 179-6-080 of the Town Code states that stormwater drainage plans shall analyze the impacts
of commercial or Industrial projects using at least a 50-year return storm. The stormwater plan shall
work in effect so that post-development runoff rate and volume conditions do not exceed pre-
development conditions.The Applicant has provided a 50-year storm analysis for review.
3. The HydroCAD model for PP6 is not modeled correctly as the discarded volume is greater than the entire
tributary volume.The Applicant to revise accordingly.
Further, within the HydroCAD model, the stage storage for Depression P2 should be revised to
accommodate the elevation of the overflow weir.While this is noted and should be modified, it is unlikely
that there will be a change in the results.
4. Section 6.3.3 of the NYS SMDM specifies pretreatment requirements for infiltration practices. From the
site plans, it appears that no pretreatment techniques are proposed for the infiltration depression 2P.
The Applicant to revise the depression design to include the pretreatment requirements accordingly.
5. In the post-development HydroCAD model, Pond 2P is modeled with a basal surface elevation of 382.5,
however the site plans do not show the 382.5 contour line and therefore the surface area at that
elevation cannot be reviewed.The Applicant to revise accordingly.
6. There does not appear to be soil test pits or infiltration test results provided for the proposed infiltration
devices. The Applicant to perform soil test pits and infiltration testing within the bounds of each
infiltration practice and provide the results in subsequent submissions.The Applicant shall ensure that
soil testing for the proposed infiltration practices meets the requirements specified in Appendix D of the
2015 NYS Stormwater Management Design Manual (SMDM). The Applicant shall notify the Town prior
to conducting the soil test pits so the Town can witness if they so choose.
7 The subcatchment boundary lines appear to match the parcel lines, however it does appear that offsite
areas are tributary to the site.The subcatchment boundaries shall not be limited to the parcel boundary
and shall be the tributary area. The Applicant to revise accordingly and USGS information can be used
for offsite areas.
8. The total area analyzed in the post-development condition is roughly 1,700 square feet less than the
pre-development condition, however the subcatchment boundary does not support this. The Applicant
to clarify or revise accordingly.
9. The standard and specifications for winter stabilization of the NYS SSESC requires "A temporary site
specific, enhanced erosion and sediment control plan to manage runoff and sediment at the site during
construction activities in the winter months to protect off-site water resources. This standard applies to
all construction activities involved with ongoing land disturbance and exposure between November 15th
to the following April 1st." The Applicant shall provide a separate, temporary site specific, enhanced
erosion and sediment control plan, if construction activities with ongoing land disturbance and exposure
is planned after November 15th. This erosion and sediment control plan shall conform to all
requirements of the winter stabilization specification referenced above
Conclusion&Recommendation
It is our opinion that the applicant should provide clarification for the above items and incorporate changes
in subsequent plan submissions.

Dear Mr. Brown:
LaBella Associates (LaBella) has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced
project. The Applicant is proposing 4 additions (6,500 SF, 483 SF, 515 SF, 568 SF), 23 additional parking,
display car area, and site work/stormwater management. Information submitted to our office for review
includes the following:
• Building Plans, prepared by Rucinski Hall Architecture, dated February 24, 2022;
• Impact Statement, received February 24, 2022;
• Project Narrative, prepared by EDP, LLP, dated January 2022;
• Site Plan Review Application, prepared by EDP, LLP, dated February 3, 2022;
• Overall Site Plans, prepared by EDP, LLP, received February 24, 2022, and;
• EAF Mapper Summary Report, prepared by EDP, LLC, dated February 2, 2022.
Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of stormwater system as it relates to
compliance with local, state, or relevant codes and regulations. Based upon our review, LaBella offers the
following comments for the Town's consideration:
Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Comments
1. According to the site plan review application, the proposed site improvements will disturb less than one
(1)acre and thus the project is not required to obtain coverage under the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit
for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (GP-0-20-001). Comments related to the
stormwater management and erosion and sediment control features proposed for the site are offered
below:
2. Section 179-6-080 of the Town Code states that stormwater drainage plans shall analyze the impacts
of commercial or Industrial projects using at least a 50-year return storm. The stormwater plan shall
work in effect so that post-development runoff rate and volume conditions do not exceed pre-
development conditions.The Applicant has provided a 50-year storm analysis for review.
3. The plans do not appear to depict contour elevations within depression 1P(existing basin).The contours
for the elevations referenced in the HydroCAD are needed for further review of the HydroCAD model.The
applicant shall provide contour elevations for the existing basin to support a review of the HydroCAD
stage/storage data.
4. Further, the elevation of the device #1 (round culvert) in the pre-development HydroCAD model is
modeled at an elevation of 319.93'. However, the elevation on the existing conditions map shows the
culvert at 319.95'.The applicant is to clarify the elevation of the culvert.
5. Further, In the HydroCAD model,the runoff depth shows a ">" indicating that a time span of 5-20 hours
is not sufficient to realize the full effects of the storm.The Applicant to revise the time span such that it
is at least the length of the storm analyzed (24 hours) or more ideally to sufficiently long to depict the
full effects of the storm.
6. The Applicant should indicate if any infiltration testing was done to support the infiltration rate used
within the HydroCAD model. If not, infiltration testing on site, near the existing infiltration basin should
be done to substantiate the design assumptions.
7. The standard and specifications for winter stabilization of the NYS SSESC requires "A temporary site
specific,enhanced erosion and sediment control plan to manage runoff and sediment at the site during
construction activities in the winter months to protect off-site water resources. This standard applies to
all construction activities involved with ongoing land disturbance and exposure between November 15th
to the following April 1st." The Applicant shall provide a separate, temporary site specific, enhanced
erosion and sediment control plan, if construction activities with ongoing land disturbance and exposure
is planned after November 15th. This erosion and sediment control plan shall conform to all
requirements of the winter stabilization specification referenced above.
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.

LaBella Project#2220706.09
Queensbury Ref#SP 13-2022
Dear Mr. Brown:
LaBella Associates (LaBella) has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced
project.The Applicant is proposing to construct a new 1,665 SF addition to the existing facility. Information
submitted to our office for review includes the following:
• General Information, prepared by Rucinski Hall Architecture, dated February 8, 2022;
• Overall Site Plans, prepared by Rucinski Hall Architecture, dated February 8, 2022, and;
• Floor Plans and Elevations drawn by Rucinski Hall Architecture, dated February 9, 2022.
Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of stormwater system as it relates to
compliance with local, state, or relevant codes and regulations. Based upon our review, LaBella offers the
following comments for the Town's consideration:
Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Comments
1. According to the site plan review application,the proposed site improvements will disturb less than one
(1)acre and thus the project is not required to obtain coverage under the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit
for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (GP-0-20-001). Comments related to the
stormwater management and erosion and sediment control features proposed for the site are offered
below:
2. Section 179-6-080 of the Town Code states that stormwater drainage plans shall analyze the impacts
of commercial or Industrial projects using at least a 50-year return storm. The stormwater plan shall
work in effect so that post-development runoff rate and volume conditions do not exceed pre-
development conditions. The Applicant has not provided a 50-year storm analysis for review. The
applicant shall submit a 50-year storm analysis to demonstrate compliance with town code section §
179-6-080. It does not appear that the plan set includes proposed stormwater management features.
0 k
x�,..1_9
3. It does not appear that erosion and sediment controls are depicted on the plans, and they shall be
incorporated in subsequent submission in accordance with the NYS SSESC.
4. The standard and specifications for winter stabilization of the NYS SSESC requires "A temporary site
specific, enhanced erosion and sediment control plan to manage runoff and sediment at the site during
construction activities in the winter months to protect off-site water resources. This standard applies to
all construction activities involved with ongoing land disturbance and exposure between November 15th
to the following April 1st." The Applicant shall provide a separate, temporary site specific, enhanced
erosion and sediment control plan, if construction activities with ongoing land disturbance and exposure
is planned after November 15th. This erosion and sediment control plan shall conform to all
requirements of the winter stabilization specification referenced above.
5. The plans appear to depict neither the existing contours nor the proposed contours. The Applicant to
provide the existing and proposed contours, existing and proposed spot grades, or flow path arrows on
subsequent submissions to better understand the existing and proposed flow paths.
Conclusion &Recommendation
It is our opinion that the applicant should provide clarification for the above items and incorporate changes
in subsequent plan submissions.

Dear Mr. Brown:
LaBella has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project. The
applicant is proposing to construct a new access road to a new residence being built on the parcel.
This is planning to address a property line issue that occurred on the adjacent lots.
• Summary Narrative, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated February 15, 2022
• Site Plan Review Application, Signed and dated February 14, 2022
• Wastewater Plan, prepared by Hutching Engineering PLLC, last revised February 15, 2022
• Deed, Provided by Warren County, Dated August 17, 1998
Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of stormwater system as it relates to
compliance of local, state or relevant codes and regulations. Based upon our review, LaBella offers
the following comments for the Town's consideration:
Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Comments
1. Accordingto the site plan review application,the proposed site improvements will disturb less than
1 acre and therefore this project does not require the preparation of a SWPPP in accordance with
the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (GP-0-
20-001) that includes erosion and sediment controls as well as post construction stormwater
management practices. Comments related to the proposed stormwater management and erosion
and sediment control features proposed for the site are offered below.
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 25-year return storm with regards to both runoff rate and
volume for residential projects.The Applicant has not provided a 25-year storm analysis and shall
include one in subsequent submissions. The Applicant did provide stormwater calculations using
the "Minor" project methodology, which is only allowed for projects within the Lake George Basin.
3. Section 6.3.3 of the NYS SMDM and good engineering practice suggests that pretreatment should
be provided for infiltration practices. Chazen understands that for small sites involving projects
disturbing less than an acre, it is not necessarily always feasible to provide standard pretreatment
facilities. The Applicant to clarify what is the intended pre-treatment practices for the proposed
infiltration devices.

4. The provided plans do not indicate that deep soil test pits or infiltration testing has been performed
at the locations of the infiltration trench. Such testing shall be performed to confirm infiltration
rates and separation distances.The Applicant to provide the results once determined.
5. It does not appear that erosion and sediment controls are depicted on the site plan.The Applicant
to depict erosion and sediment controls on the site plan (and include details) in subsequent
submissions.
6. The Applicantto depict any neighboring water wells or septic systems within reason (approximately
200 feet).
Conclusion &Recommendation
