DECISION: In view of the foregoing and the testimony before the Board, the application was GRANTED A PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

1. The Site Plan shall be signed and sealed by both a Professional Land Surveyor and a Professional Engineer.
2. The following note shall be placed on the site plan: “At least

one week prior to the commencement of any work, including the installation of

erosion control devices or the removal of trees and vegetation, a

pre-construction meeting must be held with the Town of Orangetown Department

of Environmental Management and Engineering, Superintendent of Highways

and the Office of Building, Zoning and Planning Administration and Enforcement.

It is the responsibility and obligation of the property owner to arrange such a

meeting.”

3. The following note shall be placed on the Site Plan regarding Stormwater Management Phase II Regulations: Additional certification, by an appropriate licensed or certified design professional shall be required for all matters before the Planning Board indicating that the drawings and project are in compliance with the Stormwater Management Phase II Regulations.
4. Section 6.38 of the Town of Orangetown Zoning Code allows a reduction in the total parking spaces required by 50% of the parking spaces required for the use with the least requirement. The parking calculations provided on the Site Plan are incorrect. If the applicant can demonstrate to the Planning Board that the combined uses will require parking at different times then the 5-% reduction in spaces would be taken from the house which requires two parking spaces, thereby reducing the total parking spaces required to 40 spaces. However, this does not seem to be necessary since the site plan is showing 45 proposed parking spaces. All parking spaces shall be designated on the Site Plan with stripes.
5. The proposed retaining wall requires a fence or barrier at the top. This shall be shown on the Site Plan.
6. The retaining wall calculations need to be sealed by a New York State Professional Engineer.
7. Portions of the proposed retaining wall appear over an existing sewer line. Details of the construction of the wall over the sewer line shall be provided.
8. The drainage calculations are currently under review by DEME.
9. All existing easements shall be shown on the plan, including page and liber or instrument number and ownership.
10. The applicant’s Engineer shall specify whether the Perc Rate given in the supplied drainage calculations (dated 10/26/06) is assumed or based upon a field survey. If the per rate is assumed, a field Perc Test shall be administered prior to the installation of the proposed seepage pits, to ensure adequacy of designed drainage system. The applicant’s engineer shall provide a copy of the Perc Test to DEME and the Building Department.

Preliminary Site Plan Approval                                      January 24, 2007

Subject to Conditions/Neg. Dec.                                   

 

11. A 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 checklist, contact person with telephone number, yearly report to be submitted to DEME, etc.
12. The Drainage Consultant to the Planning Board recommends acceptance for drainage subject to the following conditions:

• The calculations indicate that seven 8-ft diameter by 4-ft deep drywells (3-ft effective depth) are required. However eight drywells are shown on the drawing with the eighth one from the east side of the proposed church labeled 6-ft diameter by 5-ft deep.   If that drywell exists, it should be so indicated on the plan; if it does not exist, then why do the plan and calculations disagree?
• The plan must show all dimensions for each proposed drywell including top and bottom elevations, invert elevation for each inlet or equalization pipe, thickness of top slab, manufacturer and model of frame and grate if applicable, etc). The Drywell Detail must show all dimensions that are common to all drywells including the width of the surrounding stone layer.
• Provide a Typical Trench Detail for the 12-in HDPE storm drains.
• The 6-in equalization pipes should be increased to 12-in minimum.
• A Catch Basin Detail has been provided. A detail for a Catch Basin Filter Insert System is also provided in lieu of a Catch Basin Trap.  It appears that maintenance of this filter may be more intensive than a trap.  The detail shall indicate the manufacturer and model of all the proposed equipment (not what is available).  The manufacturers recommended maintenance plan shall be added to the plan since the property owner will be required to maintain the system.  A detail showing how the filter will be installed in the catch basin must be provided along with calculations for sizing the proposed filters.
• Provide a large scale plan and section for the double and quadruple drywell systems.
• It is noted that the Sparkill Creek is located just to the east of the site. The Applicant shall provide a small area map showing the location of the site with regard to the 100-yr FEMA flood plain, including the 100-yr flood elevation.

13. Clarifications are requested regarding whether all of the proposed uses are permitted in the R-15 zone and whether the school will be a Sunday school, nursery school, school of special instruction or family day care.
14. The Town shall be assured that the Site Plan is in compliance with all applicable aspects of the Route 303 Overlay Zone, including vegetative buffer requirements.

15. If there are any applicable Town regulations regarding setbacks and shielded lighting for development adjacent to residentially used or zoned lands, the site plan shall demonstrate compliance with these regulations.
16. Updated landscaping, lighting, and signage plans shall be provided and demonstrate that all applicable Town requirements will be met. Low evergreen landscaping must be provided along State Route 303 in order to prevent the headlights of paring cars, from the two parking spaces that face the Route 303, from shining into the State highway. No site lighting shall shine into the State highway.
17. It appears that a car parked in the first space available on the right upon entering the site may block nearly half of the entrance driveway. This aspect of the site design shall be evaluated and clarified.

20. If any public water supply improvements are required, engineering plans and specification for these improvements shall be reviewed by the Rockland County Department of Health, prior to construction. In order to complete an application for approval of plans for public water supply improvements, the water supplier must supply an engineer’s report pursuant to the “Recommended Standards for Water Works, 2003 Edition,” that certifies their ability to serve the proposed project while meeting the criteria contained within the Recommended Standards for Water Works. These standards are adopted in their entirety in 10 NYCRR, Subpart 5-1, the New York State regulations governing public water systems. Both the application and supporting engineer’s report must be signed and stamped by a NYS licensed professional engineer and shall be accompanied by a completed NYS Department of Health Form 348, which must be signed by the public water supplier.
21. Public sewer mains requiring extensions within a right of way or an easement shall be reviewed and approved by the Rockland County Department of Health prior to construction.

10. The applicant needs to secure private sanitary sewer easements in order to “tie” into the existing sanitary main across Western Highway. These shall be acquired prior to signing the Subdivision Map. Copies of same shall be depicted on the plans an submitted to DEME and the Planning Board.
11. The Drainage Consultant to the Planning Board recommends acceptance for drainage subject to the following conditions:

• Provide a calculation of the net increase in the impervious area (i.e. a breakdown of the size of each impervious area added less each impervious area removed).
• A note must be added to the plan that states that “All roof leaders must be connected to the Drywell”
• The Drywell Detail must show all dimensions (e.g. width of stone layer, top and bottom elevations of drywell, invert elevation of inlet pipes, thickness of top slab, manufacturer and model of frame and grate, etc).
• The effective depth of the drywell must be used in the drywell calculations, not the overall depth (i.e. the effective depth of the drywell is the depth from the invert of the lowest inlet pipe to the bottom of the drywell).
• Provide an excerpt from the Rockland County Soil Map indicating the type of soil on the site. Revise the CN value for the appropriate soil if needed.  Use the good condition CN value to be conservative.  Resize the Drywell as necessary.

12. Public sewer mains requiring extensions within a right of way or an easement shall be reviewed and approved by Rockland County Department of Health prior to construction.
13. 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 RCDA is unable to make a jurisdictional determination concerning the proposed project based upon the information submitted. In that regard, the applicant shall submit it proposed stormwater management plan, drainage plan and drainage calculations and any and all environmental impact statements, environmental assessment forms or environmental studies regarding the proposed site development to RCDA for further review.
19. 19. The Rockland County Department of Highway has reviewed the plans and information and offers the following comments:

• While the applicant intends on utilizing the existing curb cut along the County Roadway for ingress and egress to both lots, it is difficult to determine if the applicant intends on widening the existing driveway within the County right of way The County would favor a design that does not require any alteration to the existing sidewalk and concrete curbing along Western Highway.
• Sight distance calculations to the north and south of the driveway access shall be demonstrated on the site plan.
• The split rail fence along Western Highway shall be relocated to be contained with in the property line.
• A copy of the drainage calculations prepared for this project shall be provided to the County Highway for additional review.
• A Rockland County Highway Department Work Permit will be required for development of Lot #2 and must be secured prior to the start of any constructing or excavation on site. The applicant shall be aware that under the Drainage Section of the Rockland County Highway Department Standard Specifications, revised by the County Highway Department in November 2005, a Drainage Maintenance Fee of $500.00 per legal tax lot will be imposed on each subdivision and/or site plan.

20. The Rockland County Department of Health (RCHD) reviewed the plans and have the following comments: Sanitary sewer line crossing Western Highway is to be an 8” main terminating in a manhole. This main is to be owned and maintained by the Town of Orangetown. This will allow lot #1 to legally tie into the sanitary sewer system “once existing septic is deemed failing”. Sewer extension approval will be needed from the RCHD.
21. RCHD estimated that additional demand for public water resulting from construction of this project as follows:

– Annual average demand: 4 bedrooms * 110 gallons per day (gpd) per bedroom =

440 gpd

– Maximum day demand: 1.6 * 440 gpd = 704 gpd

RCHD maintains an assessment of the water supply capacity available for additional development. Accordingly, these estimated demands will be deducted from the remaining available capacity.

22. Driveway shall be stabilized to support emergency response equipment (75,000 lbs) as per the 2003 building code.

• A 12-in equalization pipe must be provided between the two drywells. A detail of the equalization pipe must be provided as well.
• The font size on the Drywell Detail is very small and shall be increased in size to be easier to read and to provide a legible copy when filed. The detail shall specify the manufacturer and model of the proposed grate and drywell, and shall include all drywell dimensions (e.g. wall thickness, etc).

– Annual average demand: 4 bedrooms * 110 gallons per day (gpd) per bedroom =

440 gpd

– Maximum day demand: 1.6 * 440 gpd = 704 gpd
