Information submitted to our office for review includes the following: • Cover Letter, prepared by Hutchins Engineering, dated Aug 15, 2023; • Club Building Summary; • General Application, • Additional Project Information; • Short EAF; • Deed, prepared by Warren Co.; • Letter, ESA, signed by Beth Magee, Permit Admin, dated July 7,2023; • 1st tee course design; and • Site Plans for Course Renovation dated Aug 15, 2023.

LaBella Associates P.C. 1 20 Elm Street, Suite 100 1 Glens Falls, NY 12801 www.lai,,ellalDc.coni 1. TIDE Comment 9/5/2023: According to the site plan application, the project will disturb 8,960 SF and is located outside of 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 is less than 1 acre. • Town Code 147-9 and 147-10: required for all projects. • Town Code 147-11: not required because outside of Lake George Park. • NYSDEC GP Coverage: not required because disturbance is less than 1 acre. 2. TDE Comment 9/5/2023: The grading plan shows existing 1.5:1(H:V) slopes on the eastern side of the proposed tee box. However, the proposed grading does not extend into this area. Has the Applicant considered removing the trees but not disturbing the area? Alternatively, if the area is required to be disturbed, the Applicant to revise the erosion and sediment control plan to incorporate slope stabilization control measures in this area. Conclusion and Recommendations The technical comments above are relatively minor in nature and do not require a resubmission. We therefore have no objection to the Board considering approval of this application, with the condition that the Applicant make the appropriate changes to the plans as recommended herein.
