Labella Project # 2220706.41
Queensbury Ref #SP50-2022
Dear Mr. Brown:
Labella Associates (La Bella) has received a submission package from your office for the above
referenced project. The Applicant is proposingto build a single story pavilion within the demolition area
of the previous camp. Submitted information includes the following:
• Town of Queensbury Application, prepared by the Applicant, dated June 14, 2022
• Stormwater Plan, prepared by Raymond A. Koch P.L.S., dated June 14, 2022
• Elevations, prepared by Timberpeg, dated, November 25, 2021
Your office has requested that we conduct a review of the design of the stormwater system as it relates
to compliance to 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
1. Accordingto 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 typically 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. At this time it is unclear if the project is exempt under town code section 147-11.D or if the project
will be a "major" or "minor" project under town code section 147-11.E.
Based upon Town code section 147-11D, the application may qualify for an exemption from the
requirements of that section of town code. Section 147-11D(2) states that "Development involving
land disturbance and land clearing of less than 5,000 square feet which does not result in the
creation of new impervious surfaces of more than 1,000 square feet." is exempt from this chapter.
More information is needed to determine project classification.
A. The Applicant shall show the limit of disturbance on subsequent submissions.
B. The Applicant to clarify if the pickleball courts are existing or proposed as part of this
application.
3. The intent of town code section 179-6-080 is that all residential, commercial, or industrial projects
include a stormwater drainage plan to mitigate the increase in runoff rate and volume at each
design point. If a project is exempt from the stormwater management requirements set for in
Section 147-11 of the Town Code for projects within the Lake George Park, the project will be
subject to the requirements in town code section 179-6-080. If exempt from 147-11, the Applicant
to provide a stormwater drainage plan in accordance with 179-6-080.
4. The Applicant shall depict neighboring septic absorption fields in subsequent submissions to
support a potential review of 147-11.1(2)(c). Please note that if the application is exempt but
infiltration practices are still proposed, compliance to 147-11.1(2)(c) will be required.
5. The Applicant shall depict neighboring water wells in subsequent submissions.
6. It does not appear that an erosion and sediment control plan was provided. The Applicant to
provide an erosion and sediment control plan in accordance with 147-9.A(2).
7. A legally binding and enforceable maintenance agreement may be 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-
10.1) of the Town Code.
Conclusion & Recommendations
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.
Respectfully submitted,

Staff Comments
• Location -The project is located at 578 Aviation Road, the Target building attached to Aviation Mall. The
Target parcel is 8.13 acres and in the Enclosed Shopping Commercial zone.
• Arrangement- The changes are proposed to the building fagade.
• Site Design- The existing site parking will be adjusted to show designated parking as "pick-up"
• Building — The building fagade will alter a section of 12 ft by 58 ft with an EIFS wall section that will have
a slight different color than the building.
• Traffic- The parking number and location remains where some spots will be designated as Pick up. The
Pick up spots will also have space for cart station for delivery to the vehicle. The alteration to the parking
lot striping is not part of site plan review — as there are no changes to the number of spaces.
• Grading and drainage plan, Sediment and erosion control -there are no changes proposed
• Landscape plan -There are no changes proposed
• Site lighting plan -There are no changes proposed
• Utility details -There are no changes proposed
• Signage-The existing signs on the wall include "CVS Pharmacy" and the Target Logo bullseye. The plans
are to relocate the "CVS Pharmacy" further east on the face. The new EIFS siding will be installed in a
similar location as the previous CVS sign, then a "vehicle logo" and the words "drive up" will be installed
on the new EIFS siding. The new signage will be internally lit. The number of signs requires a sign
variance.
• Elevations -The plans show the location of the existing and proposed signs on the building — all signs for the
Target building are on the north face
• Floor plans -no changes are proposed
• Waivers -Planning staff has reviewed the applicants request for waivers that include items g. site lighting, h.
signage, j. stormwater, k. topography, 1. landscaping, n traffic, p floor plans, q. soil logs, r.
construction/demolition disposal s. snow removal.
• The waivers requested —Staff finds it reasonable to request a waiver for these items as the project is only
associated with the north face of the Target Building for signs. The applicant has provided information
for the fagade portion only for o. commercial alterations/ construction details,
• 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.
Summary
The applicant has completed a site plan application for the fagade change.
