Dear Mr. Brown:
LaBella Associates has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project.
The Applicant is proposingto construct a new carport off of the existing 2 car garage. Information submitted
to our office for review includes the following:
• Site Plan Application, prepared by Harold H. Geurtze & Co., Inc,
• Deed, dated April 27, 2006,
• Architectural Drawings, prepared by Geurtze Builders, dated July 2022
Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of 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 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. According to the site plan application, this project proposes land disturbance of 55 (+/-) square feet and
200 (+/-) square feet of new impervious cover and therefore the project is exempt from the requirements
of Section 147-11 under Town Code Section 147-11.1)(2).
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 exerTIpt from 147-11, the Applicant to provide a stormwater drainage
plan in accordance with 1.79-6-080.

4. The Applicant shall depict neighboring water wells and wastewater absorption fields (within a reasonable
distance) in subsequent submissions to support a review of horizontal separation distances assuming
an infiltration practice is proposed.
5. 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).
6. Please note that a deep soil test pit and infiltration test shall be required in support of an infiltration
practice.
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.D of the Town Code.
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.

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 2 story house and seasonal guest house and replace

• Architectural Drawings, prepared by Williams and Williams, December 21, 2022,
• Survey, provided by Van Dusen & Steves, dated January 5, 2022
Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of 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 underthe NYSDECSPDES 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 13,000 (+/-) square feet and is
classified as a "Minor" project for stormwater management by Town Code Section 147-11.E(1)(a).
20 Elm Street I Suite 110 I Glens Falls, NY 128011 p (518) 812-0513
w wvMabellapc.com
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. The applicant's "Minor" project alternative method stormwater calculations are provided on sheet L-
2.10. The Applicant provides calculations forthe permeable paver drive and permeable paver patio. The
detail for the pavers is provided in 6.A/Sheet L-5.10. This detail depicts the storage aggregate over
compacted subgrade. While.we don'ttake exception to compacted subgrade when considering driveway
and patio construction methods, the compacted subgrade will greatly reduce the infiltrative capacity of
the subsoil. As such, the paver detail does not support the device being considered an infiltration
practice, which does not appear to conform to 147-111(2)(a) that states all newly created impervious
areas which would otherwise run off the parcel shall be directed to an infiltration practice. The Applicant
to revise accordingly.
4.- It is difficult to discern what the tributary area is to the rain garden. The Applicant to clarify and depict in
subsequent applications. Also, the Applicant to depict down spouts and conveyances as applicable.
5. The rain garden is close to the stone retaining wall, which includes a perforated drainpipe to daylight.
The rain garden design shall be supported with additional detail to ensure that the infiltrated runoff does
not "short-circuit" the system by conveyance through the wall underdrain.
6. The applicant's stormwater calculations do not appear to match the device details. For instance, the
paver stone depth calculation states 1 feet deep stone, howeverthe detail shows 8" deep stone. Further,
the ponding volume in the rain garden is calculated assuming the practice has vertical walls, however
the design is trapezoidal. The Applicant to revise the stormwater calculations accordingly.
7. 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."The Applicant to depict any
- neighboring wastewater systems within 20 feet of the proposed infiltration practices, as applicable.
8. Town code section 147-111(2)(e) states The bottom of any infiltration device shall be a minimum of two
feet above the seasonal high groundwater mark and two feet above bedrock. Two test pits and one
infiltration test were performed near the proposed infiltration practices. Our office understands that test
pits and infiltration tests were probably not performed within the boundaries of the proposed practice
due to existing development on the site, which we do not take exception to. The Applicant to perform
additional test pits and infiltration tests at the time of construction, so long as the town does not take
exception to this approach. Results of the testing shall be provided to the town.
9. A legally binding and enforceable maintenance agreement maybe 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.
Erosion and Sediment Control
10. The standard and specifications for winter stabilization of the NYS SSESC requires "A temporary site
specific, enhanced erosion and sediment control plan to manage runoff and sediment at the site during
construction activities in the winter months to protect off -site water resources. This standard applies to
all construction activities involved with ongoing land disturbance and exposure between November 15th
to the following April 1st." The Applicant shall provide a separate, temporary site specific, enhanced
erosion and sediment control plan, if construction activities with ongoing land disturbance and exposure
is planned after November 15th. This erosion and sediment control plan shall conform to all
requirements of the winter stabilization specification referenced above.
11. The Applicant shall revise the erosion control plan sheet to include the notes prescribed in town code
section 147-11.J.
12. It appears 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 mustaddress
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).
Conclusion & Recommendation
It is our opinion that the applicant should provide clarification for the above items and incorporate.
changes in subsequenfiplan submissions.
In the event the Planning Board or Town staff have any -questions or require additional information,

Labella Project # 2220706.61
Queensbury Ref #SP9-2023
Dear Mr. Brown:
LaBella Associates has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project.
The Applicant is proposing the construction of a new 9,192 SF warehouse, loading dock, and update to the
floor plan. Information submitted to our office for review includes the following:
• Survey, prepared by Van Dusen & Steves, dated September 01, 2022,
• Warranty Deed;
• Site Plan Application and;
• Site Plans, details, and elevation plan, prepared by Rucinski Hall Architecture, dated December 24,
2022.
Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of 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 1
acre and therefore this project does not require the preparation of a SWPPP in accordance with the
NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (GP-0-20-001).
Comments related to the proposed stormwater management and erosion and sediment control features
proposed for the site are offered below:
2. Section 179-6-080.A, B, and C of the Town Code state the following:
20 Elm Street I Suite 1io I Glens Falls, NY 128ol I p (518) 812-0513
www,labellapc,com
❑ § 179-6-080 Stormwater runoff.
A. A stormwater pollution prevention plan consistent with the requirements of Town Code Chapter 147, Stormwater
Management, shall be required as part of the site plan approval process.
B. The Stormwater drainage plan shall analyze the impacts of the project using at least a twenty -five-year return interval storm for
residential projects and a fifty-year return interval storm for commercial or industrial projects, and using the analysis
procedures in the Town of Queensbury Subdivision Regulations 3
i it Editor's Note. See Ch. A183, Subdivision of Land.
C. All stormwater management plans shall be designed so that post -development run-off rates and volumes are equal to or less
than pre -development run-off Post -development direction of flow and type of discharge shall be the same as pre -development
conditions_
The application is for a commercial project. As such, a stormwater drainage plan and model shall be
provided that shows, at all design points, the 50-year return interval storm runoff rates and volumes do
not exceed the pre -development condition. A stormwater drainage plan and model were not provided
with this submission. The Applicant to provide a stormwater drainage plan and model in subsequent
submissions.
3. It is noted for future submissions that the subcatchment areas shall not be bound by the property line
but shall include all tributary areas.
4. The erosion and sediment controls shall be revised to include a concrete washout area, as well as a
stabilized construction entrance to limit tracking of sediment offsite in accordance with the NYS SSESC.
5. There appears to be an existing 18" CMP with the upstream invert on the subject parcel and the outlet
invert near the adjoining northern parcel. Inlet protection shall be included in the erosion and sediment
control plan. Further the plans shall note to protect this pipe throughout construction.
6. There does not appear to be soil test pits or infiltration test results provided for the proposed infiltration
device(s). The Applicant to perform soil test pits and infiltration testing within the bounds of each
infiltration practice and provide the results in subsequent submissions. The Applicant should ensure
that soil testing for the proposed infiltration practices meets the requirements specified in Appendix D
of the 2015 NYS Stormwater Management Design Manual (SMDM).
7. Section 6.3.3 of the NYS SMDM and good engineering practice suggests that pretreatment should be
provided for infiltration practices. La Bella understands that for small sites involving projects disturbing
less than an acre, it is not necessarily always feasible to provide standard pretreatment facilities. The
Applicant to clarify what is the intended pre-treatment practices for the proposed infiltration devices.
8. The Applicant to revise the site plans to depict existing neighboring wells (as applicable) and septic
systems (as applicable) to understand horizontal separation distances to infiltration practices. It appears
that one absorption field is shown and some water services, however more information shall be provided
for adjoining parcel to support a review of the NYS SMDM. It is noted that the NYS SMDM 6.3.1 states:
"Infiltration facilities shall be located at least 100 feet horizontally from any water supply well. Infiltration
trenches and basis shall be setback 25 feet downgradient from structures and septic systems."
9. The standard and specifications for winter stabilization of the NYS SSESC requires "A temporary site
specific, enhanced erosion and sediment control plan to manage runoff and sediment at the site during
construction activities in the winter months to protect off -site water resources. This standard applies to
all construction activities involved with ongoing land disturbance and exposure between November 15th
to the following April 1st." The Applicant shall provide a separate, temporary site specific, enhanced
erosion and sediment control plan, if construction activities with ongoing land disturbance and exposure
is planned after November 15th. This erosion and sediment control plan shall conform to all
requirements of the winter stabilization specification referenced above.

• Landscape plan- The project site is located on Lake George and is subject to the shoreline buffer review.
The plans show the trees to be removed and those that are to remain including hemlocks, maples, cedar and
ash trees. The plans also show an area of proposed buffer plantings, shrubbery and perennials; the plans
numbers proposed seem to be slightly less than guidance has suggested. 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
-51 ft of shoreline per site plan
-Shoreline buffer 51 ft X 35 ft width is 1785 sq ft
-Shoreline buffer area -1785 /700 = 2.5 round up to 3 —three large trees at 3 inch diameter
-Ground cover-1785/350 = 5.1 round up to 6 (X7) =42 native shrubs and 6 (X14) herbaceous plants=84
o Shoreline Cutting restrictions and Cutting Plan- Section 179-6-050 -
within 35 ft lakes or ponds & 75 ft streams, wetlands and rivers no vegetation within the first 6 ft
and no woody vegetation greater than one inch dbh removed from 6 ft to 35ft/75 ft area to be -
maintained as natural buffer — A cutting plan allowing greater may be permitted by the Planning
Board
Shoreline lots are allowed water access and beaches where 30% of the shoreline or maximum of 75
ft whichever is less
51 ft Shoreline X 30%= 15.3 feet of the shoreline buffer cut to allow a view, access and to reduce
runoff (such as angled across the lot). A cutting plan has been provided showing the area to be cut.
Cross reference 179-8-040 ground cover of shrubs and herbaceous plantings are still applicable
within the 30%/75 ft cut area.
