- The pedestrian access path to the pool shall be shown on the plan
- A separate pool construction plan shall be submitted as part of the Building
Permit Application.
- The Short Environmental Assessment appears to be in order.
- The following language shall be added to Note #24: “Once the Crossing Machinery has been determined, the final steel plate design shall be submitted to the Town of Orangetown Department of Environmental Management and Engineering (DEME) for review and approval. NO CONSTRUCTION on the pool shall begin until the final crossing details and plate design have been reviewed and approved by the DEME. The applicant shall contact the Town of Orangetown’s Sewer Inspector to coordinate the crossing of the sewer easement and construction of the pool.”
- The existing grading around the manhole near the northeast corner of the home, as shown on the drawing with a last revision date of January 23, 2016, does not reflect the current existing grade as it is in the field. The existing grading (contours lines) shall be revised to show the grading as it is presently around the existing manhole. In addition to this, the “existing” grading along the north and south sides of the house only exist because of fill placed there without approval or permission. For example, the approved plan for the site (dated December 17, 2013) shows the grading range along the south side of the house running from elevation ± 307at the south east comer of the house, to elevation ±
316 at the southwest comer of the house. The current “existing” grading due to unapproved filling of the area, shows the existing grading to be
± 312 at the southeast corner of the house to elevation ±319.49 at the southwest corner of the house. Therefore, the drawings shall indicate the total amount of fill proposed around the house in feet, from the approved elevations as per
approved map of December 17, 2013 to the current proposed elevations, so the
Planning Board has a clear indication of exactly how may extra feet of fill are
being added around the house.
- The applicant’s engineer shall provide a “blow up” (larger scale) drawing of the area between the road and the existing retaining wall east of the proposed construction area. This shall be done to allow easier review of all other proposed construction and regrading.
- DEME will allow the raising of the manhole to a maximum elevation of 306 and regrading of the existing easement to a maximum of 3 feet of fill, as measured from the previously approved site plan of December 17, 2013 with the following conditions:

Continuation of Condition #9 ..•
- A note shall be added to the plans stating the following: ‘The existing sanitary sewer main, which currently runs through the property, shall be televised, from the existing manhole to be raised, to the first
manhole south (in lot #66.17-1-25.3). This line shall be televised twice. It shall be televised immediately, prior to any more construction to ensure that no damage has occurred due to the improper placement of fill over said main. It shall be televised upon completion of all the improvements (pool installation, drywall installation, retaining wall installation, regrading, etc.) to ensure that no damage is done to the
line due to the proposed construction. The applicant shall submit the name of the company which intends to perform the televising of the line to the Town of Orangetown Department of Environmental Management and Engineering’s approval.
- The applicant or their representative shall coordinate the “tving” of the sanitary sewer main with the Town of Orangetown Sewer Department/Inspector, so that the Department/Inspector can witness the televising.
- The top of the proposed drywalls are 11 feet lower than the finished elevation of the pool. The regrading around the pool, outside the area of the proposed retaining walls, is quite steep. The applicant’s engineer shall demonstrate on the drawings and in the drainage calculations, how the drywalls are to be inspected and maintained once construction has been completed.
- A post construction stormwater maintenance agreement (in accordance with NYSDEC Phase II regulations) for the proposed stormwater systems shall be submitted to DEME and the Town of Orangetown Town Attorney’s office for review and approval. Said agreement shall include a maintenance and management schedule, inspection check list, contact person with telephone number, yearly report to be submitted to DEME, etc.
- Due to the existing slopes, the proposed construction entrance shall be extended to go from the existing road to the steel plate easement crossing.
- The hay bale/ silt fence detail shall be revised to show the hay bales on the
“downhill” (behind) side of the proposed silt fence.
- The datum for the contours shall be given on the Site Plan. Also, a note shall be added to the Site Plan indicating the source benchmark for the referenced datum, including the BM elevation.

Subject to Conditions/ Neg. Dec.
Town of Orangetown Planning Board Decision
February 10, 2016
Page 7of10
- The Drainage Consultant to the Planning Board, Brooker Engineering, held that the application sufficiently mitigates potential significant adverse impacts with respect to drainage and previous drainage comments have been addressed and therefore recommends that the 7 Welles Lane Pool Site Plan be approved for drainage subject to No Conditions.
This is the third drainage review report to the Planning Board for this project; the last report was dated December 6, 2015. The Drainage Consultant previously approved the site plan for the house for drainage in its November 20, 2013 drainage review report. They then previously approved the Site Plan with the pol for drainage in its December 6, 2015 drainage review report. The property is on the east side of Welles Lane and slopes downhill to the east. The area of the proposed pool footprint is a grassy area with a moderate slope. There is a small stone retaining wall that runs in a north/south direction along the approximate center of the property; the land east (downhill) of this wall is heavily vegetated and no disturbance is proposed in this area. Stormwater runoff from the Welles Lane drainage system is discharged along the southern property line and flows east via a riprap swale and level spreader.
The current application shows a new pool. Three drywalls are proposed to intercept rooftop runoff and provide post construction stormwater detention for
the original house site plan and two additional drywalls are proposed for the pool
area. Drainage calculations and a grading plan have been provided for this submission; the drainage pattern will be maintained and overflows from the drywell are discharged to the swale and riprap pad along the southern property line. The Consultant notes that no patios, walks or other impervious features supplemental to the house and pool are indicated on the plan. If these features are added in the future, additional drainage review will be required.
- The Rockland County Department of Planning had the following comments which are incorporated herein as conditions of approval:
1) Prior to the start of construction or grading, a Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall be developed and in place for the entire site that meets the NYS Guidelines for Urban Erosion and Sediment Control.
2) There shall be no net increase in storm water runoff from the site.
3) A review must be done by the Rockland County
Department of Health to ensure compliance with Article XIX (Mosquito
Code) of the Rockland County Sanitary Code.

- The location of the existing sanitary house connection for lot 70.09-3-41.2 shall be shown on the plan, including the sanitary main it “ties into”.
- Iron pins shall be drawn and labeled at all lot corners.
- The Drainage Consultant to the Planning Board, Brooker Engineering, held that the applicant has demonstrated that the project will not result in potential significant adverse impacts with respect to drainage that require mitigation and therefore recommends that the Hayes Minor Subdivision be approved for drainage subject to the following conditions:
This is the second drainage review report for this project; the last review was dated February 8, 2016. The project is for a minor subdivision to disclaim an existing tax lot line and merge two lots to one lot. There is an existing residential structure on the property and a shared driveway that runs along almost the entire northern property line of the parcel. There is a 24′ by 27′ (approximately 620 square feet footprint) one story addition proposed in the rear of the residence. Stormwater runoff flows down the driveway in a westerly direction to the neighboring residences to the west (tax lot 70.09-3-41.1) and northwest.
Review of Additional Information
The applicant provided a revised survey that showed the proposed increase in impervious surface was 364 SF, which is less than the 400 SF threshold typically used to determine if potential significant adverse impacts with respect to
drainage require mitigation. No grading or drainage information has been added to the plan.
Project Comments
- While the proposed increase in impervious area is less than 400 square feet, the Drainage Consulted recommends the drainage from the new structure not be directly connected from the existing driveway. The driveway results in sheet flow runoff directed to the downhill neighboring properties and stormwater runoff in this direction should not be increased. A map note shall be added that requires roof leader downspouts to be directed to the grassy area south of the addition and away from the driveway and property lines.
- Any proposed addition would be subject to a standard review required for a building permit, which may require that a grading and drainage plan be prepared.

More detailed design for a theoretical house and driveway has been provided for this submission. The project assumes 4,900 square feet of new impervious area. Test pits and percolation tests have been performed at the location of the proposed detention systems. Two underground cultec storage systems are proposed (new for this submission) to mitigate against increases in stormwater runoff. The revised detention system includes a low flow opening and an underdrain to act as an orifice. Overflows are directed to Clausland Mountain Road via a riprap swale.

- As per the December 9, 2014 drainage review letter, volume of voids in the stone beneath the drywall invert shall not be included in the drywall storage calculations.
- The revised drainage calculations use the entire site drainage area to calculate the existing conditions peak discharge but only the area diverted to the detention system for proposed conditions. This underestimates the existing conditions peak flows that cannot be increased for developed conditions; the drainage report shall be corrected to use a consistent drainage area.

- The drainage calculations assume the detention system is full and the four inch pipe is flowing full. Since the drainage area diverted to the detention basin is small, it is unlikely the pipe will be flowing full. The inflow to the system is unlikely to fill the four inch diameter pipe; therefore the routing will not likely be effectively controlled by using a four inch outflow orifice. Routing calculations using a stage versus discharge curve and stage versus storage curve shall be utilized to quantify the actual stormwater routing.
- The revised drainage report uses a routing to perform the stormwater mitigation. If a routing is to be used, then the 1-year, 2-year, 10-year, and
25-year 24-hour storms shall be analyzed.
- Supporting data shall be included in the drainage calculations including subarea maps, time of concentration locations, and ground cover breakdowns.
- Rockland County Department of Planning had the following comments which are incorporated herein as conditions of approval:
- An updated review shall be completed by the County of Rockland Department of Highways and all required permits obtained. The conditions of the
February 18, 2015 letter must be addressed.
- As required by the Rockland County Stream Control Act, the subdivision map must be reviewed and approved by the Chairman of the Rockland County Drainage Agency before the Rockland County Clerk will accept same for filing.
- An updated review must be completed by the County of Rockland Department of Health. The conditions in their January 25, 2015 letter must be met.
- Map Note #36 indicates that the existing well is to remain for irrigation purposes only. If the existing well is to be decommissioned in the future, then the Rockland County Department of Health must be notified of the intent to decommission the well prior to its removal so that they can monitor the process to ensure that it is done in compliance with specification of Article II of the Rockland County Sanitary Code.
- 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 stormwater runoff from the site.

floodplains. Therefore, the RCDA requests that the RCDA request that the Town carefully review the proposal and ensure that it will not result an increase in
the rate of stormwater runoff from the site. In addition, the Rockland County
Stream Control Act, Chapter 846, requires that all subdivision maps must be signed by the Chairman of the Rockland County Drainage Agency before the Rockland County Clerk will accept same for filing.
