Project   Description

This is the  second  first drainage  review  report to the Planning  Board for this project. The  property is  located  on the east side of Ramland   Road and  has a moderate  westerly  downhill slope.   The site contains an existing  LIO building  and associated   parking. A 158′  x 70′  building  addition   is  proposed  along  the west side of the building;  this is located  in an area with  grass ground cover.  New parking   is proposed along  an existing   driving   lane  on the north side of the building;  this  is located  along  a wooded  area.  Approximately 20,000  square  feet of impervious area is  being added. For this revised  submission,   680 feet of 58″ wide  by 30.5″ high  underground   detention units are proposed  to provide  mitigation for

increases in stormwater runoff.

 

 

 

Project   Comments

1. 1. It  appears   approximately   20,000   square   feet of new  impervious   area  is being added  to  the   Site.    Drainage    calculations    shall   be  provided   that includes   stormwater   management     facilities     that   will    mitigate    post• construction    increases in stormwater  runoff due to additional    impervious areas and  changes   to ground   cove  The calculations    shall   clearly  show drainage sub basins  that  are intended  to be diverted   to each stormwater detention  area.
2. 2. The  total  land  disturbance   shall   be  provided on  the   Site  Plan.   Land disturbances  greater  than  one acre requires post construction   stormwater quality  and  quantity  mitigation   and a full  Stormwater   Pollution  Prevention Plan  (SWPPP) in accordance  with NYSDEC requirements.
3. Proposed grading  along   the new row of parking   along   the  north  property

line shall   be  provided.   Spot grades along   the  curb should be added   to show   the   directions     of   stormwater    runoff.    The   existing    conditions topography   in  this area shall   be verified;   it appeared during   our site  visit that a wooded  embankment   several  feet high  exists  along  the row of new parking.    Construction    of  this  parking    would  require   excavation    and possibly  retaining   walls  along   the property    line.   It  shall   be  demonstrated that  the   plan   is  feasible  to  construct   without  requiring   grading   off the property.  Alternately,    a construction   easement  from the  neighbor   may  be obtained.

 

4. 4. The building   addition  on  the Site   Plan   shall   label   the proposed first floor elevation   and  potential   basement elevation.    If  no  basement   is  proposed, this  should    be  noted.   The  door at the  west  side   of the  addition   is  at elevation   92 and  the existing   grade  at this  area is  approximately    elevation
5. 84. Proposed  grading   and  contours  shall  be provided  along   the sidewalk at the  new  west door to show how the  entrance   will  reach  existing   gr This may include  fill  or a retaining   wall.  This  sidewalk   provides  access for

the new handicap   parking  spots; therefore  this sidewalk   should   be graded to allow  construction   of an ADA compliant  sidewalk.

Project    Description

This is the Drainage  Consultant’s  third drainage  review report to the Planning Board for this project; the last review was dated June 3, 2013. The property  is located on the north side of West Central Avenue,  just west of the Muddy Creek culvert under West  Central Avenue.  The project entails a 4, 127 square feet two• story addition  to an existing  7,944 square feet commercial  building.  The lot is almost completely  impervious  from the existing  building  and pavement;  the proposed  building  addition  is over lands that are already  impervious.  The property  is located  in the 100-year  FEMA floodplain  of the Muddy Brook (elevation  221.66  NAVO), which  is also under the jurisdiction  of the Rockland County  Drainage  Agency.

 

Review   of Additional   Information

The applicant’s  engineer  has indicated  that the proposed  drainage  pattern will remain. As per the June 5, 2014 letter from Leonard  Jackson  Associates,  the parking  lot is not proposed  to be repaved.  If the parking  lot is to be repaved  in the future,  a grading  and drainage  plan shall be prepared  and reviewed  by the

Continuation  of condition  #13 ….

 

Planning Board that shows the proposed drainage pattern. Given the flat site and existing off-site buildings on the west, a new overlay pavement course may adversely impact the off-site buildings to the west if not properly designed.

The building addition is constructed on piers and has an open foundation covered with lattice. This is indicated on the Site Plan, elevation certificate, and

architectural drawing BD4. The proposed lattice covering the openings shall be constructed as per the architectural not, which requires it to be open at the bottom and allow stormwater runoff to flow underneath. As per the engineer’s description, the stormwater runoff will continue to follow the easterly drainage pattern and will not adversely impact the off-site building to the west.

Previous alternatives for proposed parking lot modifications have been removed from the current submission.

 

 

Project    Comments

1} As per the drainage consultant’s June 3, 2014 report and the

November 5, 2013 report, the applicant shall demonstrate if the project meets the definition of a “substantial improvement”, which may require flood proofing of the existing building. The applicant shall address the provisions of Chapter

148, “Flood Damage Prevention” of the Orangetown Code. The applicant’s engineer had indicated that the project does not meet the threshold of a substantial improvement; however, documentation shall be provided to support this to the satisfaction of the Floodplain Administrator.

 

 

2) As per the consultant’s previous requests, an elevation certificate for the existing building with the proposed addition has been provided. However, the BFE in Part 89 shall be in NAVO datum as per the Rockland County FIS. The elevation information in Part C shall be converted to NAVD datum. The conversion between NAVD and NGVD and source of the Part C elevation information shall be provided in the Comments section. A description of the “type of equipment and location” (Part C2-e) shall be entered in the Comments section.

 

 

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

1) A review shall be completed by the Rockland County Department of

Highways and all any required permits obtained.

 

2) A review shall be completed by the New York State Department of

Transportation and all required permits obtained.

 

3) An updated review must be completed by the Rockland County Drainage

Agency.

 

 

4) The comments in the April 14, 2014 letter from the Rockland County

Department of Health must be met.

5) Two development scenarios are provided, both utilizing the adjacent parcel, Tax Lot 68.16-1-4.1, to provide parking access to the site. A cross access easement must be obtained from the owner of this parcel before the parking lot on Tax Lot 68.16-1-7 can be utilized as configured, and access to the rear of the subject parcel can occur.

 

6) Scenario B shows circulation movement in the rear of the site. An arrow facing south seems to be in error, as there is no place for a vehicle to turnaround in the access coming off of West Central Avenue, and the plan shows that this access is one way, going the other direction. This arrow must be removed.

 

7) It is not clear in Scenario A what is intended in the rear of the site.  If the parking lot encroachment from Tax Lot 68.16-1-4.1 is not corrected, and vehicles continue to park right up to the encroachment line, is there sufficient room for vehicles to access the rear from NYS Route 303? The access from Route 303 is only 5 feet wide, without encroaching into Tax Lot 68.16-1-8.  Is parking proposed in the rear? The aerial photography shows that vehicles currently park in the rear.  How do they currently get access – from West Central Avenue? Where will delivery vehicles park in Scenario A?  Is the access off of West Central Avenue on way?  If not, explain how cars exiting the site avoid conflicts with those entering the site.  More details information must be provide about the intended use of the rear yard, access issues, and parking availability in Scenario A.

 

 

8) A map date must be added to the plans prepared by Barbara Marks, Architect.

 

 

15. The Rockland County Department of Highways reviewed the information and plans and provided the following comments:

1                1) The zero net increase in the peak rate of discharge for storm water from all design points within this project shall be demonstrated.

 

2) While Rockland County Highway would favor a design that would provide maximum available parking; it remands the decision of parking issue to the Town’s determination.

 

 

3) A traffic statement shall be provided by the designer to state that the adverse impact on the county roads will be at a minimum.

 

4) A Rockland County Highway Department Work Permit will be required for the proposed development prior to any construction on site.

5) Separate  additional  Rockland  County  Road Opening  Permit will be required for any sewer or utility connections  that will involve disruption  to the paved surface within any county  road.

 

16. Should the Board require stormwater management on proposed  lot #2, application  is to be made to the Rockland  County  Department  of Health for review of the Stormwater  Management  system for compliance  with the County Mosquito  Code.

 

17. Based upon Rockland County Drainage  Agency  (RCDA)  evaluation  of available  mapping  and information  submitted,  the site has been determined  to be within the jurisdiction  of the RCDA. The previous  proposal  was for improvements within the envelope  of the existing  structure  and therefore  a permit was not requested.   However,  the current  proposal  is for the second floor development

and building  expansion.   Therefore,  a permit from the RCDA pursuant  to the Rockland  County Stream  Control Act is required.   Please have the applicant submit an application  to RCDA immediately.

 

18. The Rockland County Sewer District #1 does not object to the plan as shown. This project does not affect any sanitary  sewers within the District and request  no future correspondence   for this site.

 

19. The Town of Orangetown Bureau of Fire Prevention  had the following comments  which are incorporated  herein as conditions  of approval:

 

• Plot Plan 8 is favored, with the exception  that the driveway  from  NYS Route 304 be widened  to 20 feet from Route 304 to the concrete  retaining wall adjacent  to the creek.

 

 

• All driveway areas other than designated  parking spaces  shall be dedicated  fire lanes with striping  and signs indication  such.

 

• Decrease  the size of the curb area around  parking spaces  11-14.

 

 

• Using the supplied occupancy  calculations,  there  is a total of 179 persons on the 2nd floor and 120 on the roof; this is a large number to have exiting into the alley ways.  There  needs to be clear egress from the rear of the building,  allowing  occupants  to evacuate  the area.   In addition,  will these spaces  be used during  Parades,  (Thanksgiving  eve, etc., these are traditionally  busy days and overcrowding   has been an issue).

 

 

Continuation  of condition  #19 ….

 

 

• Sprinkler drawings, fire alarm drawings and construction plans shall be provided for review and approval.

 

• There is a generator shown on the drawing, clarify if this generator is proposed or presently in place.

 

20. The Town of Orangetown Traffic Advisory Board had the following comments:

• Driveways to corner lots should be located as far away from the intersection as practical.
• Show how this parking configuration conflicts with traffic on streets or neighboring properties.
• Does the new parking lot ingress impede with right of way on public road or on-site such as shelters, benches, bus stops and similar structure.
• Site Plan and parking plan should indicate the path of the storm water drainage.
• There are no building corners or landscape set backs on the plan.
• Will the new parking facility have night lighting?
• Will parking be restricted to the restaurant use or will it be jointly used.
• Driveways are usually prohibited within the passenger waiting area of bus stops.
• Do Town Codes require 10 parking spaces per 100 sq.?
• The plans need the following dimensions: New driveways, off street parking spaces, perimeter curbing, transitional buffer and locations of parking lights.

 

 

21. The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) reviewed the information submitted and had the following comments:

• The proposed driveways appear to be within the area purchased by the NYSDOT under Contract FARC 66-13 under Map 57/ Parcel 76, Map 58/ Parcel 77 and May 59/ Parcel 78. The land was purchased with the agreement that access is not available through the purchased property. Therefore these entrances will not be approved.

10. Drainage Review  Recommendation

The Drainage Consultant to the Planning Board, Brooker Engineering reviewed the application and found the application has provided sufficient drainage design to demonstrate that potential significant adverse impacts with respect to drainage can be mitigated. The consultant therefore recommends that the Lewis Subdivision be approved for drainage subject to the following comments:

 

 

Project    Description

This is the second drainage review report to the Planning Board for this project; the last review as dated April 1, 2014. Stormwater runoff flows downhill in a westerly direction. The site has a moderate slope and contains mainly grass ground cover beyond the existing impervious area. The existing dwelling to remain is located on proposed Lot 2, which is the uphill lot. Proposed Lot 1 contains the new dwelling, which for this application is 50′ x 30′. There is an existing garage and driveway located near the west (downhill) property line. The Drainage Consultant, Brooker Engineering, notes that stormwater runoff from the existing garage to be removed flows directly to the property to the west. The proposed subdivision will mitigate against increases in stormwater by providing a drywell detention system. The calculations show 1372 square feet of existing impervious area on Lot 1, 2705 SF of proposed impervious area on Lot 1, and a net increase of 1333 SF of impervious area. The project mitigates against increases in runoff by diverting stormwater runoff from the 1500 SF proposed dwelling to the drywell system.

 

 

Project    Comments

1) Reference to the stormwater maintenance covenant shall be added to the Plat. The details and requirements of the maintenance plan shall be added to the Grading and Utility Plan.

 

 

2) It is recommended that a minimum pipe diameter of six inches be used for the proposed drainage pipes.

 

3) The basement sump pump outlets to the drywell.  The drywell uses the grate to act as the overflow outlet.  The proposed basement has an elevation of 303.3 and the drywell rim has an elevation of 305.0.  The drywell rim and basement floor elevation shall be redesigned so the rim is at least four inches lower than the basement floor elevation.  The flow path from the drywell rim overflow shall be shown graphically by drainage arrows directing water overflows from the drywell to the West Lewis Avenue gutterline and not to the property to the west.

Continuation  of Condition  #10 …

 

4. The project assumes a building size of 1500 SF that is diverted to the drywell. No proposed impervious areas are shown in the backyard. If the project is ultimately constructed with additional impervious areas beyond what is shown on  the  current  subdivision  plan,  then  additional  stormwater mitigation measures will have to be designed and provided. This design, if needed, shall also demonstrate  how the  additional  impervious areas are directed to the stormwater detention system.

 

11. The Rockland County Department of Health (RCDOH) reviewed the plans and found that application is to RCDOH for review of the Stormwater Management system for compliance with the County Mosquito Code.

 

12. Based upon Rockland County Drainage Agency (RCDA) evaluation of available mapping and information submitted, the site has been determined to be outside the jurisdiction of the RCDA. Therefore, a permit from the RCDA

pursuant to the Rockland County Stream Control Act would not be requested for any proposed construction at this site. 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.

 

13. The applicant shall comply with all pertinent items in the Guide to the

Preparation of Subdivision Plats prior to signing the final plans.

 

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

 

15. Where a reservation of land for recreation purposes has been deemed by the Planning Board to be inadequate, Money in Lieu of Land for recreation purposes must be collected in accordance with Section 21-20 of the Land Development Regulations ($9,000.00 for every vacant new residential lot). In addition, for every new vacant residential lot, $80.00 will be collected for the Stream Maintenance Fund.

 

 

16. 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 §21. Failure to abide by the conditions of this decision as set forth herein shall be considered a violation of Subdivision Plan Approval pursuant to Town Code §21 and §6A.
