The applicant has provided an updated plan showing the location of the wetland area. The wetland area is about
1,019 sq ft as noted on the Freshwater wetland permit. The APA and the Army Corp have indicated the area as
non- jurisdictional.
Nature of Variance
Granted 3/23/2022. 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
devices. 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.
New Variance
Applicant proposes the garage section of the home to be located 10 ft from the wetland area where 50 ft is
required and relief from the shallow depression area is also being requested.

LaBella Project # 2220706.35
Queensbury Ref #SP 54-2022
Dear Mr. Brown:
LaBella has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project. The Applicant
is proposing to construct a single family residence, along with an access driveway, wastewater management
and other associated utilities. Submitted information includes the following:
• Project Narrative, prepared by Jarrett Engineers, dated June 28, 2022
• Site plan Application, Prepared by Jarrett Engineers, dated June 23, 2022;
• Stormwater Management Report, prepared by Jarrett Engineers, dated June 14, 2022;
• Site Plans, Prepared by Jarrett Engineers, dated June 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 application, the proposed project plans to disturb an area of approximately
+/- 51,000 square feet and thus will require the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP). In accordance with GP-0-20-001 Table 1, the project requires the preparation of a SWPPP
that only includes Erosion and Sediment controls. A SWPPP has been provided.
2. According to the site plan, the Applicant is proposing to disturb +/- 51,000 sf. Projects that disturb
greater than 15,000 SF are considered Major Projects per Town code section 147-11.E.(2). In
accordance with Town code section 147-11.1.(3)(c), Major Project stormwater control measures shall be
designed so that there will be no increase in runoff volume from a ten-year-frequency/twenty-four-hour-
duration storm event following development over the predevelopment volume, and for storm events
exceedingthe ten-year design storm, the stormwater controls measures shall function to attenuate peak
runoff flow rates for a twenty -five-year frequency storm to be equal to or less than predevelopment flow
rates. The Applicant has provided a twenty -five-year storm for analysis but has not provided a ten-year
storm. The Applicant shall provide a ten-year storm for analysis in future submissions.

%ti'f'J?1.irfbi=`.i.E_t?Cj(..iv`i�i`f 1
A full review of the rate and volume standards will occur once the comments are addressed.
3. The Applicant has not provided pre and post development subcatchment maps for analysis and in
support of the HydroCAD model. The Applicant to provide subcatchment maps in subsequent
submissions.
4. Section 147-111(3)(c)[3] requires two feet of vertical separation between the bottom of an infiltration
practice and the seasonal high groundwater. It does not appear that tests pits have been done in the
infiltration areas that are adjacent to the lower portion of the proposed road. The Applicant shall provide
soil test pit data to confirm vertical separation exists in the areas proposed for infiltration practices and
confirm the soils have infiltrative capacity.
5. The applicant should model the proposed culverts.
6. The NYS SM DM states that "Infiltration practices cannot be located on areas with natural slopes greater
than 15%" and "Infiltration practices cannot be located in fill soils". It appears the site has slopes
throughoutthe site that exceed 15%, including in the locations of the infiltration practices (Rain Garden
Q. Additionally, the infiltration practices appear to be located in fill soils. Previous correspondence
received from the NYS DEC regarding projects with similar concerns of locating stormwater features in
fill slopes has resulted in the following recommendations:
`At a minimum, the designer must meet the following guidance and provide
justification/demonstration of equivalence in the SWPPP:
• Insitu/natural soil layer below the infiltration system has an infiltration rate greater than or equal
to the 0.5 in/hr
• Ground water and bedrock levels in insitu/natural soil should be at least 2 - 3 feet below grade
• Fill material is an engineered fill that is tested after placement (by geotechnical firm) and
demonstrated to be equivalent to a soil material acceptable for the installation of an infiltration
system (i.e. infiltration rate greater than or equal to .5 in/hr, etc.). Infiltration rate of fill material
should be similar infiltration rate as insitu/existing soil.
• If there is a difference in the infiltration rates between the fill and insitu/native soil, the designer
should use the more conservative (i.e. slower infiltration rate) when determining whether the
infiltration system will dewater (exfiltrate) with the required 48 hours (see Section 6.3.2
"Conveyance' of the Design Manual)
• Required vertical separation distances to groundwater/bedrock are maintained
• Required horizontal separation distances to surface waters, wells, etc. are maintained
• There is adequate fill along the edges of the infiltration system to prevent seeps/breakouts"
DEC has indicated that with regards to the 15% limit, they have allowed designers to use the cut/fill
approach provided the criteria above is met. As such, the Applicant should demonstrate compliance
with the provisions outlined by the DEC.
7. A legally binding and enforceable maintenance agreement maybe required to be executed between the
landowner and the Town ensuring that proper maintenance measures will be implemented for all
proposed stormwater management practices in accordance with Section 147-10.D of the Town Code.
8. The Erosion and Sediment Control plans shall include all the notes of section 147-11.J of the Town Code.
9. The Applicant shall provide an unsigned copy of the MS4 SWPPP acceptance form within the SWPPP
(and an executed copy with the final SWPPP).
10. The draft N01 is incomplete. Applicant to complete the N01 and provide in subsequent submissions.
11. Section I.F.8. and I.F.4 of the General Permit requires documentation in regard to archeological sensitive
areas and endangered and threatened species. The Applicant's SWPPP does not appear to include the
require documentation. The Applicant to revise accordingly.
12. The Applicant shall clarify who the Authority Having Jurisdiction is of the drainage crossing.
13. The tributary watershed map for the driveway drainage design is difficult to discern as the site features
(i.e. proposed conveyance features) are not depicted. We recommend the applicant superimpose the
drainage areas on the site plan to better understand the subcatchment areas.
14. The Applicant shall depict the check dams in plan view and verify if they will be permanent.
15. Based upon the site plan, there appears to be multiple design points for rate and volume analysis.
However, it does not appear that multiple design points are analyzed in the HydroCAD model. Further
the design points do not appear to be described in the stormwater report. Applicant to revise accordingly.
16. The Applicant is currently proposing an agridrain. The Applicant shall show the location of the agridrain
in plan view and clarify its intent.
17. Town code section 147-111(3)(c)[5] prescribes the winter infiltration area for infiltration practices. The
infiltrating rain gardens do not appear to include the winter infiltration area and shall be revised
accordingly.
18. The Applicant shall depict downspouts as applicable.
19. Town code section 147-111(3)(c)[4] states "Infiltration devices for major projects shall 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; a separation of more than 100 feet may be required in
cases where contamination of the water supply is possible due to highly permeable soils, shallow
groundwater and similar situations. The separation distance shall be a minimum of 50 feet from up -
gradient water supplies. Designs shall mitigate adverse effects that groundwater recharge will have on
adjacent wells, water supplies, wastewater treatment systems, buildings, roadways, properties and
stormwater control measures. Stormwater recharge areas shall be located a minimum of 100 feet from
the subsurface treatment system of a wastewater treatment system unless it is demonstrated that a
lesser separation will not adversely affect the functioning of such leach fields.
Currently the Infiltrating rain garden is within 100 feet of the downhill wastewater absorption system
and in the direct path. Furthermore, the proposed upgradient water well is within 50 feet of the
infiltrating rain garden. The Applicant to revise accordingly.
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) 824-1932.

Staff Comments
• Location -The project is located at 42 Old Assembly Point Road on a 0.83 ac parcel
• Arrangement- The site foundation is to remain and the new construction is to be consistent with the original
home.
• Building — The existing home has a footprint of 1,630 sq ft with 450 sq ft of deck/porch area. The new
footprint will be 2,680 sq ft with 488 sq ft of deck/porch area and a floor area of 6,968 sq ft. The project
includes removal of the first floor walls to the foundation, a garage addition, a second floor addition, screen
porch, updated driveway area.
• Grading and drainage plan, Sediment and erosion control -The plans indicate there is to be drip edge
infiltration areas for the new construction and stone reservoir for the screen porch. There are to be shallow
grass depressions on the site as well. The project was referred to the Town Designated Engineer for review
and comment.
• Landscape plan- The project site is located on Lake George and is subject to the shoreline buffer review.
The plans indicate existing plantings and trees to remain as well as plantings to be installed.
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
-68.47 ft of shoreline per survey
-Shoreline buffer 195 ft X 35 ft width is 2937 sq ft
-Shoreline buffer area -2397 /700 = 3.4 round up to 4 -four large trees at 3 inch diameter
-Ground cover-2397/350 = 6.8 round up to 7 (X7) =49 native shrubs and 20 (X7) herbaceous
plants=140
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
- 68.47 ft Shoreline X 30%= 20.5 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 -A reminder lighting should be down cast fixtures.
• Utility details -The applicant proposes to use the 2016 system and has provided an engineering certification
• Elevations -The elevations show the additions to the home with the height where the maximum height is at
27.84 ft
• Floor plans -The project plans show the existing basement and new basement area. Then the first floor with
the screen porch, alterations interior and the garage_ addition. Then the second floor with a bedroom areas.
• 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, q. soil logs, 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 for: j. stormwater, k.
topography,1. landscaping, p floor plans
• 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
The applicant proposes the new home on the existing foundation. The home is to be 8 ft where 20 ft is require
to the north side. The home on the west side would be 51 ft from the shoreline where 56.1 ft is required due to
the adjoining home setback. The stormwater devices to be installed would be 48 ft and 88 ft where 100 ft
setback is required.

Dear Mr. Brown:
LaBella Associates has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project.
The Applicant is proposing the addition of a 10' wide paved driveway, 1,734 SF of building addition
consisting of a second story, two bay garage, on site stormwater management and shoreline buffer
additions. Information submitted to our office for review includes the following:
• Architectural plans;
• Certification letter of wastewater system, prepared by EDP LLP, dated June 13, 2022;
• Cover letter, prepared by EDP LLP, dated June 15, 2022;
• Site Plan Application, prepared by EDP LLP, dated June 13, 2022, and;
• Site plans, prepared by EDP LLP, dated April 20, 2022.
Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of the 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. 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 plans, this project proposes land disturbance of 10,000 (+/-) square feet and is
classified as a minor project for stormwater management by Town Code Section 147-11.E(1)(a).
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 allows a flat rate of 1.5 gallons
of stormwater to be used for every square foot net increase in impervious area, where net increase is
the difference between predevelopment and post development conditions.

3. Town code section 147-111(2)(c) states infiltration devices shall not be installed up gradient within 20
feet of the subsurface treatment system of a wastewater treatment system. It is difficu It to discern where
the project site and neighboring absorption fields are located (as applicable). The Applicant to revise or
clarify accordingly to support a review of 147-111(2)(c).
4. The callout for stormwater management practice SMA #4 states that it will have a bottom elevation of
332.5 throughout the section. The proposed contours do not match the callout, as the portion of the
practice closest to the lake shows an elevation of 332 feet. The Applicant to clarify, and revise the site
plans if applicable.
5. Town code section 147-111(2)(a) states that the location of the infiltration devices shall be determined
based upon soil test results. Town code section 147-111(2)(e) prescribes the vertical separation
distances for infiltration practices. It does not appear that deep soil test pits nor infiltration tests were
performed in support of the design. The Applicant to perform the tests and provide the results.
6. As applicable, the Applicant to add downspout locations to the site plans.
7. Sheet 6 of the site plans has a callout stating the limit of work is 29,000 SF and a limit of disturbance
of 11,250 SF. The Applicant to clarify what construction activities will take place within each described
boundary.
8. It does not appear that the grading plans depict the overflow weir elevation for SMA #3 and the Applicant
to revise accordingly.
9. The Applicant to clarify the method of pre-treatment prior to entry to the infiltration practice.
Erosion & Sediment Control
10. It appears the erosion and sediment control plan is incorporated into the overall site plan. It does not
appearthatthe ESC plan is complete as no temporary ESC controls are depicted to protect the infiltration
areas. Section 6.3.6 of the NYS SMDM states "Infiltration practices shall never serve as a sediment
control device during site construction phase. In addition, the Erosion and Sediment Control plan for the
site shall clearly indicate how sediment will be prevented from entering an infiltration facility." The
Applicant shall revise the plans to clearly indicate how sediment will be prevented from entering the
infiltration facilities during the site construction phase.
11. Further, it does not appear that a temporary soil stockpile and temporary ESC controls for a temporary
soil stockpile are depicted on the site plans. The applicant to clarify if there will be a temporary soil
stockpile and revise the plans if applicable.
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) 824-1932.

Labella Project # 2220706.36
Queensbury Ref #SP58-2022
Dear Mr. Brown:
LaBella Associates has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project.
The Applicant is proposing to demolish the existing single-family home and include a new single-family
structure with attached garage and deck, driveway and parking area realignment and grading, and a new
septic system. Information submitted to our office for review includes the following:
• Site plans, prepared by EDP LLP , dated March 8, 2022;
• Building plans, prepared by Balzer -Tuck Architecture, dated;
• Narrative, prepared by, dated December 19. 2019, and;
• Site plan application, prepared by EDP LLP, dated March 8, 2022.
Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of the 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. 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 plans, this project proposes land disturbance of 11,100 (+/-) square feet and is
classified as a minor project for stormwater management by Town Code Section 147-11.E(1)(a).
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 allows a flat rate of 1.5 gallons
of stormwater to be used for every square foot net increase in impervious area, where net increase is
the difference between predevelopment and post development conditions.
20 Elm Street I Suite 110 l Glens Falls, NY 12801 p (518) 812-0513
w vj,.,�Jabe[Lapsc.corrt
3. The narrative states that the Applicant is proposing a water supply from the lake. However, the water
supply is not depicted on the site plans.
Further, the site plans also depict a note for a proposed well to the north of the house. The applicant to
clarify the water supply and revise the site plans to incorporate the water supply.
4. The detail for the proposed drywell does not include the culvert that connects from the drywell to the
flared end section. The Applicant to revise the detail accordingly.
5. It appears multiple 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).
6. As applicable, the Applicant to add downspout locations to the site 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) 824-1932.

Staff Comments
• Location -The project is located at 2930 State Route 9L on a 0.93 acre parcel
• Arrangement- The existing home per survey is 1,306 sq ft footprint with a deck area of 1,508 sq ft. The
applicant is attempting to correct errors made during the 2014 proposed deck addition to now.

shoreline. The applicant proposes to maintain the 46 sq ft shed in the current configuration, remove the
shoreline deck pathway and replace with mulch, stone landscape areas with native plantings. Also to be
removed is a portion of the lower deck to dock area, and a portion of the boathouse deck area.
• Building — The house will remain the same as no work has been proposed on the house. The existing shed
at the shoreline has been converted to a changing room for the applicant's elderly parents so to minimize the
walking to and from the house. The shed is now located closer to the deck area.
