Project site
-172 ft of shoreline per survey
-Shoreline buffer 172 ft X 35 ft width is 6020 sq ft
-Shoreline buffer area-6020/700 = 8.6 round up to 9-nine large trees at 3 inch diameter
-Ground cover-6020/350 = 17.2 round up to 18 (X7) =126 native shrubs and 18 (X14)herbaceous
plants=252
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
- 172 ft Shoreline X 30%= 51.6 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.

LaBeila Project#2220706.10
Queensbury Ref#SP 15-2022
Dear Mr. Brown:
LaBeila has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project. The
Applicant is proposing to develop a vacant lot off of Cleverdale Road.This will include the construction
of a 4-bedroom house, paved driveway, detached garage, grading on site stormwater/wastewater
management on site drilled well and shoreline modifications.
• Summary Narrative, prepared by EDP, dated February 15, 2022
• Site Plan Review Application,Signed and dated February 7, 2022
• Site Plans, Prepared by EDP, Dated February 15, 2022
• Architectural plans prepared by D. Freeman Architect, dated November 15, 2021
• Survey Map, Provided by Van Dusen &Steves Land Surveyors, Dated January 21, 2008
• Deed, Provided by Warren County, Dated October 28, 2021
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, LaBeila 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). However,this
project falls within the Lake George watershed and therefore is subject to the stormwater
management requirements set forth in Section 147-11 of the Town Code for projects within the
Lake George Park. Comments related to the stormwater management and erosion and sediment
control features proposed for the site are offered below:
2. According to the site plan review application, this project proposes to disturb 12,000 square feet
which would be classified as a minor project. With the minor project classification, the Applicant
has opted to use the alternative stormwater calculation method described in Town code section
147-11.1(2)(a), which states that a flat rate of 1.5 gallons of stormwater can be used for every
square foot net increase in impervious area, where net increase is the difference between
predevelopment and post development conditions.

Q-1
3. It does not appear that there is sufficient contours and spot grades for the rain garden to verify
the ponding depth.The Applicant to add additional contours or spot grades accordingly.
4. The applicant has inconsistent labels for the SMA's. For example, the applicant has shown on
sheet 3 that SMA#2 is adjacent to the driveway, however, on sheet 4 this is labeled as SMA#3.
The applicant to clarify.
5. It is difficult to discern what pre-treatment practices are proposed prior to entry to the rain garden
and shallow vegetated depression.The Applicant to clarify or revise accordingly.
6. In accordance with 147-11.1(2)(a) that states the location of the infiltration deices shall be
determined based upon soil test results,the Applicant shall perform deep soil and infiltration tests
within the bounds of each practice.The Applicant to provide the results.
7. Section 147-11.1(2)(a) of the Town code states, "All water from newly created impervious areas
which would otherwise run off the parcel shall be directed to an infiltration device. Location of the
infiltration devices shall be determined based upon soil test results." It does not appear that the
runoff from the side of the house closest to the lake (western) is directed to an infiltration device.
The applicant to revise accordingly.
8. Erosion and sediment controls typically utilized during construction (i.e.,concrete washout)should
be included on the erosion and sediment control plan. ESCs should be detailed and shown in plan
view.
9. It appears retaining walls are proposed on the site plans. The NYS Standards and Specifications
for Erosion and Sediment Control (SSESC)states, "The design of any retaining wall structure must
address the aspects of foundation bearing capacity, sliding, overturning, drainage and loading
systems. These are complex systems that should be designed by a licensed professional
engineer."The Applicant to provide the design for the wall prior to construction so long as the Town
does not take exception to this approach. The design shall be developed in accordance with the
NYS SSESC and other regulating documents (for example,the residential building code).
10.The Applicant may be required to execute a stormwater maintenance agreement with the Town in
accordance with Section 147-10.D of the Town Code.Applicant should submit a draft stormwater
maintenance agreement if required by the town.
11.The grass depression and rain garden are located in the 100-foot wetland setback. The Applicant
to state who is the AHJ (DEC or Town) of the wetland/buffer. The Applicant to clarify if there are
restrictions within the wetland buffer. Also, the Applicant to clarify if the AHJ has reviewed the
plans.

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.
