November 6, 2023 Mr. Craig Brown Zoning Administrator and Code Compliance Officer Town of Queensbury 742 Bay Road Queensbury, NY 12804 Via email: craigb@queensbury.net RE: Brennan Residence Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York LaBella Project No. 2220706.94 Queensbury Ref No. SP73-2023 Dear Mr. Brown, LaBella Associates has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project. The Applicant is proposing to construct a new residential home with associates driveway, onsite wastewater system, and stormwater management practices. Information submitted to our office for review includes the following: • Cover Letter, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated October 16, 2023; • General Information and Site Plan application; • Stormwater Management Report, prepared by Hutchins Engineering, dated October 15, 2023; • Pgs 4 and 5 of architectural drawings, date and drafter unknown; • Elevation map; • Maps of existing and proposed subcatchments, prepared by Hutchins Engineering, 2 pgs; • Survey; and • Site plans, prepared by Hutchins Engineering, 3 pgs. 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. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: According to the site plan application, the project will disturb 0.95 acres and is located outside the Lake George Park. Therefore, the project's compliance with the applicable Town and State stormwater regulations are as follows: LaBella Associates P.C. 1 20 Elm Street, Suite 100 1 Glens Falls, NY 12801 www.labellapc.com L' • Town Code 147-8: not required because disturbance < lac. • 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. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: The Applicant shall clarify how many acres of disturbance will occur. The site plan application and the short EAF states 0.95 acres of disturbance while the stormwater narrative and N01 states 1.4 acres. • The applicant shall include a MS4 SWPPP acceptance form if the project exceeds 1 acre. 3. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: It appears there is a discrepancy between the impervious area stated on the application of approximately 0.27 acres and the impervious area modeled in the HydroCAD report is only 0.185 acres. 4. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: There does not appear to be soil test pits or infiltration test results provided for the proposed southerly most grassed swale. The Applicant to perform soil test pits and infiltration testing within the bounds of this infiltration practice and provide results in subsequent submissions. The Applicant shall 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). The Applicant shall notify the Town prior to performing the soil test pits so the Town can witness if they so choose. 5. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: The site plan shows the presence of wetlands located along the southern property line. A wetland delineation report shall be provided in subsequent submissions. 6. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: TP-1 indicated soil mottling occurred at 24" below existing grade which typically indicates the presence of groundwater. The bottom of the infiltration practice must be a minimum of 3' vertically from the seasonal high water table. The applicant shall demonstrate how this condition will be met. 7. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: Section 6.3.1. of the NYS SMDM states that infiltration practices shall be located at least 100 feet horizontally from any water supply well. It appears the southern infiltration practice is located within 100 feet of the proposed water well. 8. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: Section 6.3.3. of the NYS SMDM and good engineering practice suggests that pretreatment should be provided for infiltration practices. The Applicant to clarify what is the intended pre- treatment practice for the two (2) proposed infiltration devices. 0 9. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: It appears the erosion and sediment control plan is incorporated into the overall site plan. It does not appear the ESC plan is complete as no temporary ESC controls are depicted to protect the infiltration areas. The Applicant shall revise the plans to clearing indicate how sediment will be prevented from entering the infiltration facilities during the site construction phase. The applicant shall also include a site specific ESC plan in the drawing set which indicates the location of control measures such as stabilized construction entrance, erosion control blanket, soil stockpiles, etc. 10. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: The applicant shall further detail the stone outlet shown for each infiltration practice. The detention basin outlet detail provided on the stormwater details sheet appears to be for a pipe outfall. Dimensions of the stone outlet should also be provided. Spot elevations should be shown on the site or grading plan to better define the proposed grading for the infiltration practices. 11. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: There appears to be a discrepancy between the outlet elevation for the south swale in HydroCAD when compared to the elevation labeled on the site plan. 12. TDE Comment 11/03/2023: The applicant shall better define the grading of the swale located along the southern side of the proposed house. The applicant shall illustrate how the runoff will be directed to the southern infiltration practice. The current grading suggests that the swale is directing runoff away from the infiltration practice which does not align with the provided watershed subcatchment maps. 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. 3 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.
