RE: George Drellos
Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York
LaBella Project No. 2220706.85
Queensbury Ref No. SPSS-2023
Dear Mr. Brown,
LaBella Associates has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced
project. The Applicant is proposing a new 50' x 90' storage building with associated access drives
and stormwater management facilities. Information submitted to our office for review includes the
following:
• Cover Letter, prepared by Hutchins Engineering, received by Town on July 17, 2023;
• Deed, prepared by Warren County;
• Site Development Data and General Information;
• Short Environmental Assessment Form;
• Site Plans, prepared by Hutchins Engineering;
• Stormwater Analysis Summary, prepared by Hutchins Engineering, and
• Survey.
Your office has requested that we limit our review to stormwater management systems as they relate
to compliance with local and State codes and regulations. Based upon our review of the information
submitted, we offer the following comments for the Town's consideration.
1. According to the site plan application, the project will disturb 29,500 SF (0.68 acres) and is
located outside the Lake George Park. Therefore, the project's compliance requirements with the
applicable Town and State stormwater regulations are as follows:
Town Code 147-8: not required because disturbance <1 ac.
LaBella Associates P.C. ; 20 Elm Street, Suite 100 1 Glens Falls, NY 12801
v,1,,,Vw.lc`,be! !aPc. orn
• Town Code 147-9 and 147-10: required for all projects.
• Town Code 147-11: not required because outside LG Park.
• NYSDEC GP Coverage: not required because disturbance < 1 ac.
2. Section 179-6-080 of the Town Code, states that the 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 to update their plans and reports accordingly.
3. There does not appear to be soil test pits or infiltration test results provided for all the proposed
infiltration devices. The Applicant has performed one soil test pit and infiltration test within the
bounds of the 5'Wx3'Dx90'L(E) eave trench. The Applicant to perform soil test pits and
infiltration testing within the bounds of the remaining infiltration practice and provide the results
in subsequent submissions. The Applicant shall notify the Town prior to conducting the soil test
pits so the Town can witness if they so choose.
4. The inverts modeled in the HydroCAD report for Pond 3P, Pond 4P, and Pond 5P shall match the
invents on the Plans.
5. A legally binding and enforceable maintenance agreement shall be executed between the
landowner and the Town ensuring proper maintenance measures will be implemented for all
proposed stormwater management practices in accordance with Section 147-10.D. of the Town
Code.
6. Prior to the issuance of any approval, the Applicant must execute a maintenance easement
agreement that shall be binding on all subsequent landowners served by the stormwater
management facility in accordance with Section 1447-10.B. of the Town Code.
7. Section 6.3.3 of the NYS SMDM and good engineering practice suggests that pretreatment
should be provided for infiltration practices. LaBella understands that for small sites involving
projects disturbing less than an acre, it is not always feasible to provide standard pretreatment
facilities. The Applicant shall clarify what the intended pre-treatment practices are for the
proposed infiltration devices - 3'Wx3'Dx187'L, 3'Wx3'Dx98'L infiltration trench and the drywell.
8. The Applicant shall revise the plans to depict the existing locations of any neighboring water
wells and septic systems within reason.
Conclusion and Recommendations
The technical comments above are significant in nature. We therefore recommend that the Board
require the applicant to update their application to address these comments.

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.
