Staff Comments • Location -The project is located at 1471 State Route 9 within the Outlet Mall area. The project site is 1.92 ac. • Arrangement- The applicant proposes removal of the existing building on the site to construct the new buildings and associated site work. • Building — Building 1 is to be 8,950 sq ft that is designated as 3 tenant spaces: 2,000 sq ft for a drive-thru, 2,500 sq ft for a restaurant, and 8,355 sq ft for retail space. Building 2 and Building 3 will contain a total of 24 units of self -storage in 3,480 sq ft. Each building will be 1,740 sq ft and have 12 units • Site conditions -the site has an existing building to be removed. In addition the site contains wetlands and streams as constraints to the building location and site work. • Traffic- The applicant proposes 45 parking spaces where 45 or 47 are required. Applicant to update application information and site plan details — to confirm the required amount of parking. • Grading and drainage plan, Sediment and erosion control -The plans shows an interconnected basin arrangement for a sub -surface stormwater management in the front parking lot. The project was provided to the Town Designated Engineer for review and comment. • Landscape plan -The landscaping plan shows existing areas of vegetation to remain along the stream, wetland areas. The new planting plan shows some trees along Route 9, some trees and shrubs along the building. Applicant to confirm compliant with parking landscaping amount required-179-8-050. • Site lighting plan -The plan indicate the average lighting for the site is 0.8 foot candles. The plans indicate pole lights at 15 ft in height and building lights to be mounted at 10 ft. • Utility details -The applicant will need to connect to municipal sewer and water. Water and Sewer Department have been provided with materials for review and comment. • Signage-The project elevations show limited sign information for the exterior of the building and for the free standing sign. The free standing sign does not appear to meet setbacks where 15 ft is required. No sign size for the wall signs or sign lighting has been provided. • Elevations -The plans indicate the building height of the retail. Applicant to clarify the height of the building from elevation plans and information noted on the application. Elevation plans for the storage units will need to be provided. Elevation plans should also note the grade information. The plans appear to show the project occurring on slight slope this should be clarified in the elevation plans. The plans should detail design in accordance with 179-7-050 —route 9 North District o Route 9 North District: between Sweet Road and the Town's border with the Town of Lake George. Commercial variety best describes this section of Route 9. The southern end has large and small retail offerings, interspersed with restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, a fun park, an RV park, an outdoor drive-in theater. Amid this section is the Six Flags' The Great Escape. North of this theme park is the county's municipal center and beyond that a cluster of outlet malls, intersected by Route 149, an important rural route to Vermont. The North Route 9 corridor, while an improvement over the lower section, still lacks continuity and sufficient greenery, especially within parking areas. It is the community's desire to insist on Adirondack-themed designs with more creative parking design and landscaping, so that the building, parking, and landscaping visually share space. For example, parking lot lighting should be antique-themed similar to the existing sidewalk pedestrian lighting. No one aspect of commercial developments located here should be dominant. Locating truck routes, loading docks, and employee parking in the rear will allow opportunities for more landscaping to the front and sides of the building. From Montray Road to Round Pond Road, low -impact commercial development abuts a residential zone along Route 9's south side. Future development in this area should remain low -impact and transitional in effect. • Floor plans -Floor plans are only shown for the retail area. Floor plans will be needed for the storage facility • Waivers -The applicant has not requested waivers at this time. The board may have further discussion on landscaping to confirm it meets the code for non residential landscaping requirements. • 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. Special Use Permit Criteria: General Criteria: 1.

TDE Comment 10/13/22: Accordingto the site plan review application, the proposed site improvements will disturb greaterthan 1 acre and therefore this project appears to require the preparation of a SWPPP in accordance with the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (GP-0-20-001) that includes erosion and sediment controls as well as post construction stormwater management practices. Applicant response 413123: Comment noted. A SWPPP has been prepared for this project and included with this submission. TDE Comm�ent,4j17/23, No further�,comment 20 Elm Street !

TDE Comment 10/13/22: Section 179-6-080 of the Town Code, states that stormwater drainage plans shall analyze the impacts of a project using at least a 50-year return storm with regards to both runoff rate and volume for commercial projects. The Applicant has provided a 50-year storm analysis for review. Applicant response 413123: Comment noted. 3. TDE Comment 10/13/22: Town code section 179-6-080C states 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." Currently, the stormwater model shows an increase in volume of runoff from 1.835 of to 2.000 of from the existing to the proposed conditions. The Applicant to revise accordingly. Applicant response 413123: The proposed stormwater management system has been designed to reduce the post -development run-off rates to less than the pre -development run -of rates as per Chapter 4 of the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual (NYSDECSDM). The project site contains high groundwater that precludes the use of infiltration techniques to reduce stormwater runoff volumes. Without the ability to infiltrate, it is fundamentally impossible to develop a site with increased impervious areas without increasing the volume associated with stormwater run-off. The runoff generated by the new impervious surfaces is inherently higher than the existing vegetative cover and thus results in a higher volume of run-off. To reduce the run-off volume to pre-existing conditions, the project would need to remove or infiltrate approximately 53,751 gallons of water. Again, this is not possible without the ability to infiltrate stormwater on - site. The proposed project meets all requirements of the NYDECSDM and the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges From Construction Activity GP-0-20-001. 4. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The proposed subcatchment map is difficult to discern as the subcatchment boundary lines appear to overlap. Further, subcatchment 1B is being described as 0.6 acres in the map and in HydroCAD. However, based upon our cursory calculation, this subcatchment is shown as being 0.4 acres. The Applicant to revise or clarify. Applicant response 413123: The proposed map has been revise to provide a clearer depiction of the proposed subcatchments. Please note that subcatchment 1B is located in two locations connected by a culvert. The total of the two areas is equal to 0.6 acres as described in the SWPPP. TDE Comment 4/17/23 No further'comment' 5. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The pre- and post -development subcatchment map include the offsite tributaryarea. However, the contours are too light to discern and there are not enough contour labels to support a review. The Applicant to revise accordingly. Applicant response 413123:The pre- and post -development maps have been revised to show darker existing contours as well as additional labels. 6. TDE Comment 10/13/22: It appears that the post -development subcatchment map may not match the grading plan. For instance, subcatchment 1A includes all of the pavement around the western extent of the storage unit pad, however the grading plan suggests that portions of the pavement flow west to the wetland and stream that do not enter the underground chamber system. The Applicant to revise accordingly or provide additional spot grades. Applicant response 413123: The grading west of the proposed storage units do not contribute to the streams as the stream is at a higher elevation than the proposed pavement. Additional spot grades have been included in this area to better illustrate the path of the proposed drainage. 7. TDE Comment 10/13/22: In the HydroCAD model, the runoff depth shows a ">" indicating that a time span of 1-26 hours may not be sufficient to realize the full effects of the storm. The Applicant to revise the time span accordingly. Applicant response 4/3/23:The HydroCAD model has been revised to increase the time span to 90 hours in order to eliminate the runoff depth error. Please note that the difference in time spans yielded a difference of 0.05". This extremely slight increase in runoff depth is negligible on this small site and does not affect the peak flows contributing to the Design Point. 8. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The proposed conditions HydroCAD model only includes three subcatchments and one "pond". However the stormwater design, including the closed storm sewer system, are more complex than the current HydroCAD model. Among the complex proposed storm sewer system, includes new infrastructure and routing of an existing stream channels. The HydroCAD model shall be revised to include the entire closed storm sewer system (including an analysis of inlet capacities of the storm structure grates) for at least the 10-year storm. Town code section 147-9 sets the NYS SMDM as the technical standard. Section 4.8 Conveyance Criteria of the NYS SMDM states, "The 10 year storm is typically used as a target sizing for outfalls, and as a safe conveyance criterion for open channel practices and overflow channels. The 10 year storm is recommended as a minimum sizing criterion for closed conveyance systems. Note that some agencies or municipalities may use a different design storm for this purpose." Please note that the table of contents says pipe sizing is in Appendix D, however Appendix D does not include pipe sizing. Because the closed storm sewer system appears to connect into an existing NYS DOT closed storm sewer system, the Applicant shall consult the DOT regarding their recommended design storm for sizing conveyances. Applicant response 413123: The SWPPP has been revised to include a closed stormwater system analysis for the purpose of sizing the proposed pipes. In a conservative approach, the proposed conditions model does not include the proposed drainage inlets or stormwater conveyance piping as they are routed directly to the subsurface system. While we agree that hydraulic systems are dynamic systems and should account for energy loses and the corresponding hydraulic grades lines, it should be noted that not including energy losses and directly routing the stormwater to the E subsurface stormwater detention system and or any stormwater management basin is a conservative and common industry approach to stormwater modeling. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The Applicant shows that tests pits have been conducted on the title sheet, butthey do notappearto be included in the plans. Applicant to revise the site plans to depictthe location of the test pit locations. Applicant response 4/3/23:The plans have been revised to include the test pit locations on sheets MUG-1 and GP-1. Please note that additional test pits will be done at the time of construction once the existing structure has been removed. TDE Commentr4/1i/23..No further cornrrent 10. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The cistern access manhole rim appears to have inconsistent elevations. In the plan view, the rim is called out as 531.05' but in the cistern access manhole detail it is shown as being 529.90'. The Applicant to revise accordingly. Applicant response 4/3/23:The plans have been revised to include the correct rim elevation on the cistern access manhole detail. 11. TDE Comment 10/13/22: Detail 1 on Sheet 14 (subsurface stormwater management system #1) depicts an inlet invert of-3.08'. The Applicant to revise accordingly. Applicant response 413123: Please provide further clarification of comment. Detail 1 on sheet 1 has been reviewed and includes two inlet inverts of 524.41'. / � I 1 / iCM-S0038 D —I IN-52J.66(JfLLYFlSH] / W IN--5.O6(SYSTEH) / W OVf-525.66(ONHJ) \ 1 • tY-7fpror�['- W-ir HOPE --------- OD- ONH] ROI-529.00 RN O1-52..WDMH2) WV O V -523.16OQ 12. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The Applicant to clarify if the project application has been submitted to DOT for review. The Applicant to provide comments from the DOT to the town. Applicant response 4/3/23:Comment noted. The plans have been submitted to NYSDOT for review and approval of the changes to the proposed curb cuts. Comments from the NYSDOT will be forwarded to the Town once received. 13. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The Applicant to clarify if the US ACOE has provided concurrence of the wetland delineation. If the US ACOE provides correspondence, please provide a copy to the town. Applicant response 413123: The ACOE has issued a wetland disturbance permit for this project via email. This email has been included with this letter. The Town has received copies of this correspondence as well. 14. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The Applicant to state who is the AHJ of the stream. The Applicant to clarify if the project application has been submitted to the AHJ for review. If the AHJ provides correspondence, please provide a copy to the town. Applicant response 413123: The Agency Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) is the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). Correspondence from the ACOE has been included with this letter. 15. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The Applicant is currently proposing to meet a portion of the Runoff Reduction Volume by using Conservation of Natural Resources. The Applicant shall show on the site plans the 0.35- acre area to be conserved as it is difficult to discern. It appears that more supporting information is required to support a review of NYS SMDM Section 5.1.1. The following are excerpts from Section 5.1.1: • Section 5.1.1 Using this Practice: Delineate and define natural conservation areas before performing site layout and design. Ensure that conservation areas and native vegetation are protected in an undisturbed state through the design, construction, and occupancy stages. Section 5.1.1 Discussion: Preservation areas should then be incorporated into site - development plans and clearly marked on all construction and grading plans to ensure that construction activities are kept out of these areas and that native vegetation is undisturbed. The boundaries of each conservation area should be mapped by carefully determining the limit which should not be crossed by construction activity. Once established, natural conservation areas must be protected during construction and managed after occupancy by a responsible party able to maintain the areas in a natural state in perpetuity. Typically conservation areas are protected by legally enforceable deed restrictions, conservation easements or a maintenance agreement. The Applicant shall revise the plans and stormwater report accordingly. Also, the Applicant shall indicate the proposed method of conservation (i.e. legally enforceable deed restriction, conservation easement, or maintenance agreement). Applicant response 413123: The plans have been revised to include the conservation area on sheets LM-1 and GP-1 .Notes have been added to the plans requiring the contractor to install temporary protection fencing along the perimeter of the conservation are prior to construction. Permanent signage has also been proposed along the conservation to identify the conservation area after construction is complete. The Applicant proposed this conservation to be incorporated into a conservation easement that will be filed with the Count. TDErCo�iirnente4/17J23, ,Nofurther cornirent 16. TDE Comment 10/13/22: 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. Applicant response 413123: Comment noted. Wall designs will be provided by a licensed geotechnical engineer to the building department prior to construction. TDECaminent4/� 7J23 No further comment; 17. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The erosion and sediment control plan is difficult to understand as some features (portions of the silt fence) are located in the existing stream. It does not appear that a construction phasing plan is provided. The Applicant to revise accordingly to provide more detail and information on the phasing of the erosion and sediment controls. Applicant response 413123: The erosion and sediment control plan depicts standard erosion control practices. The silt fence shown on the plan surrounds the existing stream and does not lie within any portion of the stream that is not meant to be disturbed. The entire disturbed area is approximately 1.5 acres well below the 5-acre maximum. As such, this project will be constructed in one phase. Tp Corr%rr eaMW4 7/23„ No further `comment„ 18. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The Applicant has submitted a blank N01. The Applicant shall submit a draft N01 in subsequent submissions. Applicant response 413123: A draft paper N01 has been included in the revised SWPPP for review. Please note that the electronic N01 will be used for filing prior to start of construction. TDEuComment,417j2{3 'Nowfurthercomrnent"F 19. TDE Comment 10/13/22: The New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control (NYS SSESC) states that concrete washout facilities are to be located "a minimum of 100 feet from drainage swales, storm drain inlets, wetlands, streams, and other surface waters." It appears that the concrete washout is within 100 feet of the stream. The Applicant to revise accordingly. Applicant response 413123: The concrete washout is approximately 122' from the existing stream. However, the 100' distance to storm drain inlets cannot be met as the total site disturbance of the site is approximately 1.50 acres. The project site is too small to provide the full 100' from all storm drain inlets. The concrete washout area has been positioned to provide the greatest distance as possible to all storm drain inlets. The proposed storm drain inlets also include NYDSEC approved inlet protection to protect the downstream receiving waters. 20. TIDE Comment 10/13/22: The site plans depict one construction entrance. The Applicant to clarify how the other entrance will be protected during construction. Applicant response 413123: The plans have been revised to include a note stating the contract to utilize one entrance during the construction. The contractor shall install temporary construction fencing to block the other entrance. 21. ME Comment 10/13/22: A legally binding and enforceable maintenance agreement may 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. The Applicant to provide a draft maintenance agreement and ensure the stormwater practices mentioned includes the cistern and associated appurtenances. Applicant response 413123: Comment noted. A draft stormwater maintenance agreement has been included in the revise SWPPP. 22. TIDE Comment 10/13/22: Cistern section 5.3.10 of the NYS SMDM prescribes the minimum amount of information that must be provided in the SWPPP to obtain runoff reduction credit, which include but is not limited to, identification of maintenance requirements and educational brochures for continued operation of the practice, a water budget analysis and identification of how water will be used to ensure that the system will be available for subsequent runoff events. It does not appear that those items are provided in the SWPPP and shall be in subsequent submissions. Applicant response 413123: The SWPPP has been revised to include more information regarding the use and of the cistern as well maintenance responsibilities of the owner. Please see section 5.3 of the SWPPP as well as Appendix H for more information. TDE Colnme'nt1723 See New,Cornments section below 23. TDE Comment 10/13/22: To support a review of the HydroCAD model and underground storage more information is requested. The HydroCAD model indicates that the underground storage does not fully de - water as the 1-year storm inflow volume is 0.139 acre-feet and the outflow volume is 0.112 acre-feet. The Applicant to clarify that the retained volume will be used by the cistern operations such that the full underground storage capacity is available for the next storm. Further the Applicant to clarify if the underground cistern will be used in the winter or winterized and taken offline during the winter. If the cistern is to be winterized, the SWPPP should indicate how water will be used to ensure that the system will be available for subsequent runoff events as prescribed in Section 5.3.10 of the NYS SMDM. Applicant response 413123: The HydroCAD model has been revised to ensure the underground storage fully de -waters the 1-year storm. Please note that the storage system has been designed to function with the cistern full in a conservative approach. It is not possible to winterize the cistern as it is integral with the subsurface stormwater system. NEW COMMENTS 24. The "neck" between the lower and upper parking areas should be curbed to ensure that runoff that skips over the first set of catch basins will make it to the lower parking area where it will be captured by other catch basins. 25.On page 18 of the SWPPP, the Applicant claims that the proposed cistern will provide capacity for 320 gallons per day of water re -use. The Applicant should include detailed calculations in the SWPPP showing how this figure was arrived at. 26.On page 19 of the SWPPP, the Applicant claims that the cistern will provide 0.028 ac-ft of runoff reduction volume. Applicant should include in the SWPPP calculations showing how the RRv provided figure was arrived at. These calculations should be in accordance with the SMDM 5.3.10 "Sizing and Design Criteria" and "Required Elements". In particular, applicant must document both the re -use (irrigation) demand and the storage volume of the cistern. Both elements must be present to claim RRv credit. A simple water budget analysis should be provided. 27. The underdrain feeding the cistern appears to be lower than the bottom of the stone elevation for Detail 1/DT-7. If this is the only way for water within the underground storage area to enter the cistern, it appears that only a small fraction of the water in the underground storage will make it into the cistern. The Applicant should clarify the design intent of this system, as it directly impacts the RRv calculations for the cistern. 28. The Applicant should include documentation in the SWPPP confirming that the Jellyfish treatment unit is a NYSDEC approved "standard practice". 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) 824-1943.

Meeting History: 1" Meeting LaBeLLa Powered by partnership. April 18, 2023 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: Childrose Residence Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York LaBella Project #2220706.70 Queensbury Ref # SP 26-2023 Dear Mr. Brown: LaBella has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project. The Applicant is proposing to shoreline improvements, including replacing the seawall, stairs, and landscaping. Submitted information includes the following: • Deed, prepared by Warren County, undated; • Existing Conditions, prepared by Redbud Design, dated August 15, 2022; • LA Photos, prepared by Redbud Design, dated August 15, 2022; • Project Narrative, prepared by Redbud Design, dated February 23, 2023; • Riprap sketch, prepared by Redbud Design, dated February 1, 2023; • Site Plan Application, prepared by Redbud Design, dated February 2, 2023; • Proposed Landscape Design, prepared by Redbud Design, dated August 14, 2022; • Pre -Submission Conference Form, prepared by Redbud Design, dated February 13, 2023; • Survey Map, prepared by Redbud Design, dated August 15, 2022, and; • Survey, prepared by Redbud Design, dated August 15, 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: 1. TDE Comment 4/12/2023: According to the site plan review application, the proposed project is not located within the Lake George watershed and will disturb 1,517 square feet of land. Therefore: a) Because the proposed disturbance is less than one acre, the project is not required to prepare a SWPPP or comply with the requirements of Section 147-8 of the Town Code (Stormwater pollution prevention plan requirements). b) The project is required to comply with Section 147-9 of the Town Code (Performance and design criteria for stormwater management and erosion and sediment control). c) Because the proposed disturbance is less than one acre, the project is not required to obtain coverage under the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (GP-0-20-001). 20 Elm Street ? Suite 110 j Glens Falls, NY 128o1 i p (518) 812-0513 w ww,LabelLapc.com Al 2. TIDE Comment 4/12/2023: Accordingto the site development data within the site plan application, the project will result in a net reduction in impervious area. Based on our review of the site plans, the proposed site improvements will not materially change the hydrology of the site. Our office is therefore satisfied that the project will not result in an increase in stormwater rate or volume. 3. 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). 4. The Applicant to revise the site plans to depict the limit of disturbance and label the total disturbance area. 5. The applicant to revise the existing conditions plan to clearly identify all items to be removed or provide a separate demo/removal plan. 6. The site plan application indicates that the project will be completed by August 1, 2023. However, in the event that construction activities with ongoing land disturbance and exposure extend past November 15th, the Applicant shall provide a site specific enhanced erosion and sediment control plan conforming the NYS SSESC winter stabilization guidelines. Conclusion and Recommendations The comments provided in this letter are minor in nature and do not require a re -submission. We therefore believe it would be reasonable for the Board to consider approval of this application. 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) 824-1943.
