Re: Hiland Park - Overlook
Site Plan Review
Dear Dick,
In response to the Town's request that
Design Partnership review the Overlook
plans for site plan approval, we offer
STATEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The Environmental
subdivision design
the following.
It is our understanding that this subdivision within the
Hiland Park PUD consists of 34 residential units (duplex
and fourplex) on approximately 10 acres. The road servicing
the units, Overlook Drive, will be private with connections
to two Town roads. Water will be provided by the Town of
Queensbury municipal system, wastewater will be discharged
on -site and the stormwater will be handled through a storm -
water management system.
In a conversation detailing our scope of work you suggested
that because DEC will be reviewing the on -site wastewater
system and issuing a SPDES permit we need not review the
wastewater plans. Thus we have completed a cursory review
of the sewage plan as it effects other infrastructure.
We also understand from a conversation with you that the
meeting on Tuesday is for consideration of preliminary
site plan approval.
With this understanding we have reviewed the plans in
consideration of the Town's requirements and standards for
layout, streets, storm drainage and water.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND REVIEW COMMENTS
The plans submitted for the Overlook subdivision are of
sufficient detail and completeness for preliminary site
plan approval. We recommend that preliminary site plan
approval be granted.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND REVIEW COMMENTS - cont'd
Prior to issuing final site plan approval it is recommended
that the following items be completed and/or obtained by the
applicant.
1. A SPDES permit for the on -site discharge of wastewater must
be obtained from DEC.
2. The required permit/approval for the water system must be
obtained from the N.Y.S. Dept. of Health.
3. A conflict between the sanitary system and the stormwater
system exists in the area of Units 6 & 7. Refer to Plan
Sheet L-2 and L-5. The seepage pits and the dry well will
not function properly if they are so close together. One
of theses structures must be relocated.
4. The Stormwater Management Report should more completely
discuss the design capabilities of DW-1. Peak inflow is
2.1 CFS but then what? Estimated recharge, storage and
overflow should be discussed.
5. Runoff from subareas 1,5,6,7,8 and9 is all directed along
Rockwell Road to a "contolled release basin" which is
part of the Fairway Court Site plan. Refer to Plan Sheet
L-3 of the Fairway Court plans. Does this basin need to
be re -designed to accommodate this additional flow? If
so, the easement within Lot#1 must be enlarged.
6. Runoff from subareas 10,11,12,13,14 and 15 is dischared
to a low lying area north of the project site. As this
area is part of the PUD and will some day be developed
into private lots some provision for accepting the runoff
should be made. This is a non -technical issue but some-
thing that should be considered.
7. The plans contain several minor omissions, math errors,
labeling errors, etc.. These points will be discussed
directly with the LA Group so that the necessary correc-
tions can be made.
I will be in attendence at Tuesday's meeting should there be
any further questions.
Sincerely,
Dennis MacElroy, P.E.
