The Board reviewed the submitted plans.  The hearing was then opened to the Public.

 

Public Comment:

Bob Gorglione, 142 Valley Forge Place, Orangeburg; raised concerns regarding the current constant noise at the site.  He requested that the proposed building expansion be off of another part of the building, not the side that faces the residential side.  Mr. Gorglione held that he should be entitled to a rebate on his property taxes since the value of his property will decrease due to the expansion of all of the warehouses in the area.

 

Steve DelSalvio. 262 Trenton Place, Orangeburg; held that the project on Ramland Road and other projects in the area are all warehouses and they are not even zoned for that use.  This site is used 7 days a week and is full of trucks. Mr. DelSalvio noted that the rear parking area has expended into the buffer area and needs to be striped.

17. The proposed stormwater piping and manhole shall be relocated out of the porous pavement area and into the “traditional” pavement area, as the fill requirements around the piping would negate the porous pavement capabilities “above” it.

 

18. Catch basins shall be added to both sides of the proposed driveway entrance/ exit onto Ramland Road South and the flow they collect directed into the proposed pocket pond forebay.

 

19. The applicant’s engineer is reminded that a 25 foot pond buffer, from the maximum water surface elevation, is required for the proposed stormwater basin, as per the NYSDEC Stormwater management design manual. No permanent structures may be located within that buffer. This buffer shall be reflected on drawings SP-4 through SP-7 (at a minimum.)

 

20. The proposed stormwater pond maintenance path, depicted on drawing SP-5 is inadequate. The maintenance path must provide access to not only the forebay and main pool, but also to the inlets and outlet structure. A detail for the proposed maintenance path shall be provided on the drawings.  The applicant’s engineer is reminded that the maintenance access path must be stabilized, i.e. grass/ top soil alone not sufficient.

 

21. No emergency spillway is shown for the proposed stormwater pond. This shall be corrected and a detail for same added to the drawings.

 

22. A “blow up” detail for the proposed stormwater pond shall be added to the drawing. Details for the facility i.e. cross-sections, berm reinforcing, aquatic bench, safety bench, plantings, emergency spillway, etc. shall be added to the plans.

 

23. A cross section thru the proposed stormwater pond shall be added to the drawings. This cross section shall include water quality/ channel protection/ overbank protection/ extreme flood control elevations and corresponding storage volumes, as well as outlet control structure outlets with corresponding elevations, emergency spillway with elevation, maintenance access path with elevations etc.

 

24. A fixed sediment marker shall be added to the detention basin. A detail for same, clearly showing actual height at which sediment is to be removed from the basin, shall be added to the drawings.

 

25. A detail for the proposed porous pavement shall be added to the drawings. This detail shall also clearly show how two types of pavement proposed, traditional and porous, shall be physically separated in order for both to function as designed into the future, (i.e. to prevent any migration of either subbase into the other subbase causing one or both to fail.)

26. The proposed asphalt curbing, along the north side of the proposed porous pavement, shall be replaced with concrete curbing. Concrete curbing shall also be shown along the west side of the proposed porous pavement area. This is necessary to “hold/ contain” the proposed porous pavement and required subbase.

 

27. Rip rap shall be depicted at all storm sewer pipe inlets into the proposed stormwater basin. A rip rap channel or similarly reinforcing material shall be depicted running between the forebay and the main pool of the basin. Detail for these items shall be added to the drawings.

 

28. A detail stormwater management basin planting plan shall be supplied with the drawings.

 

29. Drawing SP-3 indicates that the existing sanitary cleanout, west of the existing parking lot that faces Ramland Road South is to be removed. However, drawing SP-6 states that a new sanitary building connection is to be “tied” into that same cleanout. This discrepancy shall be resolved.  Also, the proposed sanitary building connection shall be 6 inch diameter pipe, not a 4 inch.

 

30. A profile of the proposed driveway off of Ramland Road south shall be added to the drawing.

 

31. Drainage Recommendation

The applicant has provided sufficient information to demonstrate that the proposed project can provide a zero net increase in peak stormwater runoff rates and can mitigate potential significant adverse impacts with respect to stormwater and, therefore the Planning Board Drainage Consultant, Brooker Engineering, recommends that the USIS Warehouse Expansion Site Plan be approved for drainage subject to the following Project Comments.

 

Project Description

This is the second drainage review report for this project. The last review was dated June 13, 2017.  The property is located on the east side of South Ramland Road, just south of the Ramland Road cul-de-sac. There is an existing one story warehouse building and parking lot on the property. A 22,000 SF building addition is proposed on the south side of the building, and a total of 41,000 square feet of new impervious area is proposed, including the parking lot expansion and new entrance to South Ramland Road.

The property slopes downhill to the west, towards South Ramland Road. For this submission, the detention system consists of stormwater management basin with a permanent pool located near the front property line. As with the previous submission, this pond, this is located on the south side of the property and discharges to the catch basin on South Ramland Road. The proposed limit of disturbance is greater than 1.0 acre and a SWPPP has been provided for this submission.  The pond provides storage for approximately 5.5 inches of rainfall runoff over the new impervious area.

Continuation of Condition #31…

 

Project Comments

1) As per the June 13, 2017 drainage review report, the calculations correctly delineate the watershed at the appropriate design point of interest. Off-site runoff that enters the detention system is accurately incorporated into the watershed delineation. However, the off-site subarea consists of a well-drained soil that significantly lowers the overall weighted curve number used in the model. An alternate proposed conditions model shall be evaluated where the drainage watershed (PDA-1) is subdivided into the impervious area that is directly connected to the detention system (41,000 SF) and the remainder of the watershed that is conveyed to the detention system. These two hydrographs shall be combined and then routed through the detention system.

 

2) As per the June 13, 2017 drainage review report, show roof leader(s) from the proposed building.

 

3) As per the June 13, 2017 drainage review report, the Site Plans shall note if the building is a slab on grade or if a basement/crawl space is proposed.

 

4) As per the June 13, 2017 drainage review report, more detail is needed of the proposed grading that intends to direct the stormwater runoff to Curb Inlet CI-A-3-2-1. There is a strong possibility that during construction, the new parking lot may be graded in such a way that allows more runoff to bypass this inlet. For ease of inspection during construction and verification of the as-builts by the Building Department, the drainage area that is intended to enter the detention system shall be added to the Site Plan.

 

5) As per the June 13, 2017 drainage review report, the Drainage Consultant recommends a drywell be added closer to the property line to intercept some of the stormwater runoff from the new driveway that is too low to enter the proposed detention system.

 

6)  As per the June 13, 2017 drainage review report, Soil testing shall be added to the plan to verify the presence of groundwater to support the permanent pool of the design.

 

7) The permanent pool elevation and 100 year water surface elevation of the pond shall be added to the Site Plan.

 

8) The permanent pool storage shall not be included as available flood storage in the routing calculations.

Continuation of Condition #31…

 

 

9) The bottom of weir elevation of 91.25 is too close to the top of grate elevation of 91.5 for the outlet structure; the weir will not have the intended design opening.

 

10) Additional freeboard shall be provided between the 100-year peak stage of approximately 91.65 and the top of berm elevation of 92.0.

 

11) The table for the hydrograph routing shall include values for stage versus discharge and stage verses storage.

 

12) The engineer shall verify buffer requirements between the pond and building.

 

13) Typical sections in both directions for the stormwater management pond shall be added to the Site Plans for ease of inspection during construction.

 

14) It appears a low point is being introduced at the southern point of the new driveway (elevation 84.3) at the southern southwest corner of the site.

 

32. The Rockland County Highway Department reviewed the plan and offered the following comments:
33. The Rockland County Highway Department has reviewed the information provided and determined that the proposed design would not be adverse to county roads in the area.

 

• Due to the location of this parcel, a Rockland County Highway Department Work Permit will not be required.

 

33. The Rockland County Department of Health (RCDOH) reviewed the plan and found that application is to be made to the RCDOH for review of the stormwater management system for compliance with the County Mosquito Code.

 

34. The applicant shall comply with all pertinent items in the Guide to the Preparation of Site Plans and Board Decisions prior to signing the final plans.

 

35. All reviews and approvals from various governmental agencies must be obtained prior to stamping of the Site Plan.

36. All of the conditions of this decision, shall be binding upon the owner of the subject property, its successors and/or assigns, including the requirement to maintain the property in accordance with the conditions of this decision and the requirement, if any, to install improvements pursuant to Town Code §21A-9.  Failure to abide by the conditions of this decision as set forth herein shall be considered a violation of Site Plan Approval pursuant to Town Code §21A-4.

 

37. TREE PROTECTION: The following note shall be placed on the site plan:

The Tree Protection and Preservation Guidelines adopted pursuant to Section 21-24 of the Land Development Regulations of the Town of Orangetown will be implemented in order to protect and preserve both individual specimen trees and buffer area with many trees. Steps that will be taken to preserve and protect existing trees to remain are as follows:

1. No construction equipment shall be parked under the tree canopy.
2. There will be no excavation or stockpiling of earth underneath the trees.
3. Trees designated to be preserved shall be marked conspicuously on all sides at a 5 to 10 foot height.

1. The Tree Protection Zone for trees designated to be preserved will be established by one of the following methods:

• One (1) foot radius from trunk per inch DBH.
• Drip line of the Tree Canopy. The method chosen should be based on providing the maximum protection zone possible. A barrier of snow fence or equal is to be placed and maintained one yard beyond the established tree protection zone. If it is agreed that the tree protection zone of a selected tree must be violated, one of the following methods must be employed to mitigate the impact:
• Light to Heavy Impacts – Minimum of eight inches of wood chips installed in the area to be protected. Chips shall be removed upon completion of work.
• Light Impacts Only – Installation of ¾ inch of plywood or boards, or equal over the area to be protected.

 

The builder or its agent may not change grade within the tree protection zone of a preserved tree unless such grade change has received final approval from the Planning Board. If the grade level is to be changed more than six (6) inches, trees designated to be preserved shall be welled and/or preserved in a raised bed, with the tree well a radius of three (3) feet larger than the tree canopy.

11. The applicant’s engineer shall provide pump station calculations showing the derivation of the total dynamic head (TDH).

 

12. The submitted sanitary calculations are incomplete. The applicant’s engineer shall design the proposed sanitary pump station/ system to fully comply with “10 State Standards” (i.e. peak hourly flow demand, force main minimum velocity, 24-hour emergency storage, wet well fill time, pump cycles, etc.) and provide these additional design calculations to DEME.

 

13. A sanitary precast manhole detail in accordance with Town of Orangetown standards shall be provided.

 

14. An exterior drop detail in accordance with Town of Orangetown standards shall be provided for the tie-in at the existing manhole.

 

15. The force main discharge manhole shown on Sheet 6 of the drawings indicates a 4.5 foot drop between inlet and outlet inverts. However, the detail for this manhole shown on Sheet 11 does not indicate this severe of a drop. For improved hydraulics, DEME recommends revising the invert elevation of the force main discharge pipe to follow the detail on Sheet 11.

 

16. The proposed sanitary pumping station and force main shall be labeled as private on the drawings.

 

17. Drainage Review – Consultant

Sufficient information and details have been provided to demonstrate that there are no potential significant impacts with respect to drainage that require mitigation. The Planning Board Drainage Consultant, Brooker Engineering, therefore recommends that the HNA Addition Site Plan application be approved for drainage subject to the following Project Comments:

 

This is the second drainage review report for this project; the last review was dated July 25, 2017.  The proposed work includes a 12,000 square feet addition to an existing hotel. The addition is located on the east side of the existing building and has a curved face along the south side that follows the edge of an adjacent pond. Stormwater runoff flows in a southerly direction to the pond. The pond impounds a tributary to the Sparkill Creek and contains a weir control structure along the west (downstream) side of the pond. The stream and pond are not mapped FEMA watercourses with a defined and regulated floodplain. Additional work is proposed along the east portion of the parking lot to provide a minor reconfiguration of the parking lot and add additional parking spaces.  Stormwater runoff mitigation is provided by a proposed underground detention system in the rear (north) side of the building.

Project Comments

1. As per the July 25, 2017 report, a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the pond and stream shall be prepared to demonstrate the low floor elevation will not be inundated. It is recommended two feet of freeboard be provided between the low floor and the calculated 100-year peak pond elevation. The information provided in the narrative response on the spillway elevations shall be used in the analysis.

 

1. The footing drain on the north side of the building shall be below the proposed finished floor elevation.  The footing drain shall not tie into the roof leaders or discharge to the detention system.

 

1. A typical swale detail for the rear yard has been added to the Site Plan, but dimensions for minimum depth and top and bottom widths shall be added.

 

1. The overflow for the detention system shall be shown on the detail prior to map signature.

 

1. Show the test pits locations on the plan that were used to verify the depth to groundwater of 15 feet.

 

18. Rockland County Department of Planning had the following comments which are incorporated herein as conditions of approval:

• A review must be completed by the New York State Department of Transportation, and all required permits obtained.
• A review must be completed by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission and any comments or concerns addressed.
• The comments in the November 16, 2017 letter from the County of Rockland Office of Fire and Emergency Services must be met.
• Water is a scarce resource in Rockland County; thus proper planning and phasing of this project are critical to supplying the current and future residents of the Towns, Villages, and County with an adequate supply of water. The water system must be evaluated to determine if the additional water supply demands of the proposed development can be met.  Domestic and fire demands of the project must be determined by a Licensed Professional Engineer and provided to the supplier of water for analysis.  Demand calculations and results of the analysis must be provided to the Rockland County Department of Health for review.

• Only one area has been delineated for snow storage. Given that there are 616 parking spaces for the use, it seems that this one area is deficient in providing adequate snow storage for the entire site.  Additional snow storage areas must be provided to ensure that the plow drivers will know where to place the snow piles, and to protect the landscaping, located in the islands, from being broken from the weight of the snow and from causing salt intrusion to the plants.  In addition, designating specific locations on the site for the snow piles, especially since only a minimum number of parking spaces are being provided, will eliminate the loss of parking spaces meant for the patrons and employees of the conference center.
• Prior to any grading or construction on the site, a soil and erosion control plan shall be developed that meets the New York State Guidelines for Urban Erosion and Sediment Control.
• There shall be no net increase in the peak rate of discharge from the site at all design points.

 

19. The Rockland County Highway Department reviewed the information and offered the following comments for consideration:

• The project would not be averse to County Roads in the area, and
• Due to the location of this parcel, a Rockland County Highway Department Work Permit will not be required.

 

20. The Rockland County Department of Health (RCDOH), Environmental Health Program reviewed the submission and found that all applicable applications have been submitted: Sewage disposal per Article IV, Section 4.2.1 of the Rockland County Sanitary Code and Stormwater Management system for compliance with the County Mosquito Code.

 

21. The Planning Board held that the requests and recommendations of the Town of Orangetown Bureau of Fire Prevention supersedes all other recommendations and requests of other emergency/fire service agencies and requests that all other comments and recommendations be coordinated by the Town of Orangetown Bureau of Fire Prevention.

 

In this request, the HNA Training Site Plan shall be revised to include the following roadway design per the Town of Orangetown Bureau of Fire Prevention: An 18 foot wide path, stabilized to support 75,000 pounds with an available turning around area, from the end of the exiting access road to behind the proposed building.  The applicant shall add a remote annunciator and an alarm device map at the point where Fire Department personnel will enter the building.

A Protection of Water permit is required to physically disturb the bed or banks (up to 50 feet from stream) of any streams identified above as “protected.”  A permit is not required to disturb the bed or banks of “non-protected” streams. If a permit is not required, please note, however the applicant is still responsible for ensuring that work shall not pollute any stream or waterbody.  Care shall be taken to stabilize any disturbed areas promptly after construction, and all necessary precautions shall be taken to prevent contamination of the stream or waterbody by silt, sediment, fuels, solvents, lubricants, or any other pollutant associated with the project.

 

• Freshwater Wetlands: The project is near or in Freshwater Wetland NA-14, Class II. Be aware that a Freshwater Wetlands permit is required for any physical disturbance within these boundaries or within the 100 foot adjacent area.  To have the wetland boundary delineated, contact NYSDEC Bureau of Habitat at 845-256-3057.

 

• Water Quality Certification: The project appears to contain federally regulated wetlands. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) may require a permit for work completed in or impacting a federal wetland. If a permit from ACOE is required, a Section 401 Water Quality Certification may be required from the Department.   Contact the ACOE directly at 917-790-8511 for any permitted they might require.
