This seems to be supported by the existing and future parking demand graphs, provided. Note that the original site was approved prior to the current parking standards in effect today.

Study, prepared by Mr. Bernard Adler, P.E.

Project Description

This is the third drainage  review  report to the Planning  Board for this project; the last report was dated April 8, 2013. The property  is on the west side of Blaisdell Road, just north of the corporate  limits with the Borough  of Old Tappan,  New Jersey.  The site is partially developed  and used for an irrigation system/landscaping   business.  The rear of the property  is lightly wooded.  The front of the site has a dirt area used for vehicle  parking  and several containers, sheds, and trailers.  There was also landscaping  debris on the site at the time of our visit. Stormwater  runoff flows  southeast  across the property toward  the property to the south and toward  Blaisdell  Road. Site disturbance  is less than

one acre and a drywall  system  is proposed  to provide stormwater  mitigation.  No Stormwater  Pollution  Prevention  Plan and post construction  water quality measures  are required for the proposed  action.

 

Project Comments

 

1. Add a check valve at the outlet of the drywall overflow  pipe entering the new catch basin on Blaisdell Avenue.  The Drainage  Consultant recommends  shifting this catch basin about five feet south, to the start of the curb radius, to allow a better angle for the overflow  pipe to enter the new catch basin.
2. As per the April 8, 2014 drainage report, “The soil report indicated  a well• draining  A-type  soil at the site. We observed  areas of standing  water during our site visit. The invert of the drywells  are approximately   10-12 feet below existing  grade;  it is not clear that they can provide the required stormwater  detention  to mitigate against  increases  in runoff without  being affected  by the seasonal  groundwater  table. We recommend  that soil percolation  tests be performed  prior to final approval  and the applicant’s engineer  should  make a determination   regarding  the seasonal

groundwater  table. As requested,  a note has been added to the plan,

“Coordinate  soil test pits and perc tests with Planning  Board Drainage Engineer  and Orangetown  DEME prior to performing  tests.”  The plans indicate  a test pit has been performed  (Test Pit #1 ),  but this was not coordinated  with our office as per the note. The applicant  should  provide our office with the results of this test pit, including  photographs,  measured percolation  rates, presence  of soil mottling,  etc. as determined  by the design  engineer.

3. As per the April 8, 2014 drainage report, a drainage  basin map shall be added to the drainage  report that clearly shows the area intended to be diverted  to the drywell  system. This  plan shall also show how any off-site areas will be diverted  around the drywall  system.

4. As per the April 8, 2014 drainage report, add a maintenance and inspection schedule for the proposed detention system to the Site Plan.
5. Add more proposed spot grades for top and bottom of curb at the new entrance to Blaisdell Road to demonstrate that no ponding will result along the gutterline.
6. Show grading for a well-defined swale along the north side of the new building.
7. The proposed grading along the north and west sides of the new building are slightly above the first floor elevation. Provide a foundation drain for the building.
8. There are some discrepancies between the elevations and dimensions shown on the Precast Drywalls Detail versus what is listed in the drainage report; the two items shall be coordinated.
9. The Site Plan contains the note “sheet piling may be required to avoid disturbance to the adjoining northern parcel.” The Drainage Consultant notes that this is a ten feet cut, located five feet from the property line. The applicant shall demonstrate acceptable construction means and methods before the start of construction that will not impact the neighboring property. This shall be provided to the satisfaction to the Town

Engineering Department and Building Department.

 

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

 

 

o     An updated review must be completed by the Rockland County Highway

Department and all required permits obtained.

 

• The conditions in the December 14, 2014 letter from the Rockland County

Health Department shall be met.

 

 

e      All proposed signage shall be indicated on the Site Plan and shall conform to the Town of Orangetown sign standards.

 

• The Borough of Old Tappan,  New Jersey  is one  of the  reasons this proposal  was  referred  to  Rockland  County  Planning  Department for review. The  municipal boundary abuts the  subject property along the western edge of the subject property. As required under New York State General Municipal Law  Section 239-nn, the Borough of Old Tappan, New Jersey must be given the opportunity to review the proposed site plan and provide any concerns related to the project to the Town of Orangetown.

o  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.

 

14. The Rockland County Department  of Highways  reviewed  the plans and offered the following  comments:

 

~    The strip alonq Blaisdell  Road shown to be gratuitously  dedicated  shall be shown to the County of Rockland  for inclusion  in the County  Highway System.   The dedication  deed shall be prepared  with the original  copy ready and acceptable  to the Rockland  County  Highway  Department  for filing in the County  Courthouse  before issuance  of the County  Highway Permit.

 

• The available  sight distance  from both sides of access  location along

Blaisdell  Road shall be shown on the drawings.

 

 

o      The proposed  catch basin type and details  and stabilized  construction entrance  shall be shown on the drawing.

 

o      The proposed  new concrete  sidewalk  continuation  shall be shown as 5′-0″ wide and ADA compliant.

 

 

• The proposed  development  shall not have an impact on County  Roads.

However,  the nature of landscaping  business  on this property tends to attract  more noise, debris,  salt, fertilizing  and construction  materials  which are incompatible  with the predominantly   residential  areas nearby.   The County  Highway  Department  remands  the above consideration  to the Town of Orangetown  for determination.

 

o     A  Rockland  County  Highway Work  Permit will be required for the

proposed  development  and driveway  connection  to Blaisdell  Road prior to the start of any construction  hereon.

 

• A separate Rockland  County  Highway  Department  Road Opening  Permit will be required for any utility connection  within  Blaisdell  Road.
