Engineering responses900 Route 146 Clifton Park, NY 12065 (P) 518.371.7621 (F) 518.371.9540 edpllp.com Date: July 5, 2022 To: Mr. Craig Brown Zoning Administrator and Code Compliance Officer Town of Queensbury 742 Bay Road Queensbury, NY 12804 Re: West Residence – Main House Queensbury Ref #SP51-2021 Dear Mr. Brown: The Environmental Design Partnership, LLP (EDP) is providing you this letter in response to review comments provided by the LaBella dated May 26, 2022. On behalf of the applicant Brett West, we offer the following response to comments and additional infor mation: 1. In response to comment 2 of LaBella’s March 29, 2022 comment letter regarding vertical separation distances, the Applicant provided a table presenting the vertical separation distances based on the closest test pit and stated that additional test pits may be performed prior to construction. LaBella does not take exception to further soil tests and infiltration tests being performed at the time of construction, so long as the Town does not take exception. The Applicant shall notify the Town prior to performing the tests such that the town can witness if they so choose. Response: Additional test pits and perc tests will be performed prior to construction and the Town will be notified beforehand. 2. In response to comment 6 of LaBella’s March 29, 2022 comment letter regarding the drainage/wetland feature along the eastern adjoining parcel, the Applicant explained the current process determining the AHJ and any permitting impacts of the drainage/wetland feature. If the feature is determined to be a protected stream or wetland than section 147-11.I(3)(c)[4] would apply and states: “Infiltration devices for major projects hall be located a minimum of 100 feet from Lake George and any down-gradient drinking water supply, lake, river, protected stream, water well, pond, wetland…” It appears that infiltration practices SMA 1, 4, 6, 8, and 14 are within 100 feet of the drainage/wetland feature. Once the feature is classified conformance to 147-11.I(3)(c)[4] will be reviewed. Also, the Applicant could seek a variance from 147-11.I(3)(c)[4]. Response: The wetland was determined to be a wetland and not a protected stream. Both Army Corps of Engineers and APA were contacted to see if permits would be required, both stated that no permits would be required. It is known that several infiltration practices do not confirm with 147-11.I(3)(c)[4] and variance are currently being applied for. If you have questions or require additional information, please contact our office at your convenience.
