August 18, 2022 Mr. Craig Brown Zoning Administrator and Code Compliance Officer Town of Queensbury 742 Bay Road Queensbury, New York 12804 Delivered via email only: CraigB@queensbury.net Re: Brown Residence Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York 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. 20 Elm Street Suite 110 Glens Falls, NY 128oi ; p (518) 812-0513 %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.

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. 20 Elm Street Suite 110 i Glens Falls, NY 12801 p (518) 812-0513 = ,,x,v,,1a beLLa c.corti 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. Sincerely, ram.

Summary Pending ZBA Meeting History: PB: 8/16/2022; ZBA: 8/17/2022 LaBella Powered by p r'Lne-rship. August 18, 2022 Mr. Craig Brown Zoning Administrator and Code Compliance Officer Town of Queensbury 742 Bay Road Queensbury, New York 12804 Delivered via email only: CraigB@oueensbury.net Re: Dark Bay Lane, LLC Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York 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.
