10. 10. The applicant’s engineer shall  state as to whether the proposed construction will  have an effect on drainage (e.  increase in flow, will it create a point flow, etc. not just drainage pattern.)

 

11. 11. Drainage Review Recommendation

No new impervious area is proposed for the project and existing runoff rates and flow patterns are being  maintained.    The Planning  Board’s  Drainage Consultant, Brooker Engineering,  therefore recommends  that the Silva Site Plan:  Retaining Wall Site Plan be approved for drainage subject to the following comments.

 

This is the first drainage review report to the Planning  Board for this project. The project involves  removal of an existing  timber retaining wall  and replacement with a gabion basket retaining wall.  No new impervious area is proposed.  The

property is located on the east side of Route 9W,  and the retaining wall supports

an existing  driveway.

2. The applicant’s engineer shall verify that the existing drainage pattern is

being maintained.  The macadam driveway is flush with the  top of the new wall on the proposed wall details;   it shall  be verified that stormwater runoff is designed  to flow over the top of the new wall  or around the wall.

3. 3. The Retaining Wall Plan and Partial  Site Plan shall show the existing timber wall to remain and where the new gabion wall will tie into the existing  wa A wall profile  shall be added to the plans.
4. 4. It shall  be demonstrated that earthwork for the construction  of the new

retaining wall  will  not extend beyond the property line; alternatively   a temporary construction easement shall  be provided.

5. The plans shall state that the retaining wall is designed to support vehicular   loading.

 

12. 12. 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 New York State Department of

Transportation and all required permits  obtained.

2) Prior to the start of construction or grading,  a soil and erosion control  plan shall  be developed and in place  for the entire  site that meets the latest edition of the New York State Guidelines for Urban Erosion and Sediment Control.
