Oswego Road. (Adjourned from 2 previous meetings).

Tim Coyer of Ianuzi and Romans explained the plan. The applicant has been granted two variances. They did not get the variance for the parking. They are proposing a 1400 square foot addition. One handicap parking space in the back and the three in the front will remain. They will relocate one light pack. County comments, add a “No Left Turn” sign on to Oswego Road from Laurel Lane.

Karen asked what plans were sent to the County for the rt in rt out. They spoke to the County before they knew the easement was in place. Right now there is full access. Karen said when the county approved the rt in rt out they were under the impression that there was no other way to exit the site.

There are two light standards in the back. Karen said the Board will need a lighting plan. How high are the light poles. Tim can commit to 15 ft from the ground up.

When you make improvements to the gravel area with asphalt will there be any gravel areas left. Tim Coyer said there will not.

Karen asked if they will disturb the buffer, Tim said yes, Karen said try not to move the buffer. Add the dimensions to the plan. She asked if there will be any dumpsters. Tim said no.

Ron DeTota asked to have a silt fence added along the west. Also add the lighting and cross hatching on the legend Jim Palumbo suggested winter hardy evergreens. White pines, hemlock or spruce would be good choices. They should be 3 foot trees so they will take root.

Mr. Freteshi asked if they got a letter from the County approving the rt in rt out on to Oswego Road would the Board be ok with it.

Karen said the insurance company had to close off their access tRoute 57 totally. If the County agrees to full access the Board will need a letter from them.

Jim said when the Right in and right out is built the curbs need to be worked out so there can be no question that it is only Right out. We don’t want cars jumping the curb to make a left on to Route 57.

Karen said she will need a letter stating that even though there is another way out that they will still allow the access to Route 57.

Lot C-R2 on Winter Sweet Dr. in the Inverness Gardens Development. (Adjourned from 2 previous meetings).

Mr. McCormack said the major issue was the ingress and egress, Karen said at the last meeting it was made clear that the applicant has to pave to the property line. Is it your intent to pave to the property line. Mr. McCormack said they were in contact with the Town Attorney, to work out a construction guarantee for completion of the service road. Conveyance of the service road to the Town using town specs is very expensive.

Karen asked if OCWA has been contacted. The light poles need to be 15ft from the ground up, also move the trees out of the County easement.

Jim Palumbo said the landscape is very well done.He pointed out that one parking space seems to be wider than the rest, you may want to use that for the ADA loading zone.

Brian Hall asked if the parking is different in a PDD. Mark Territo said they would use the specs for Office.

Regular Meeting Planning Board May 10, 2017

Ron DeTota said there are 29 parking spaces, once the service road goes in the parking will only be 1.5 feet away that could be problematic. Maybe these spaces could be eliminated or used as emergency spaces.

Ron DeTota handed out a list of things that needed to be worked on. See attached. He will forward a pdf of the manhole connection as well.

Karen asked if there were any comments or questions, hearing none she asked for a motion.

Simon Agency, Inc. Site Plan Application Case #: 2017-008

We have reviewed the Site Plan Documents dated May 3, 2017, and the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan dated February 2017, and have the following comments:

General Comment: The Site Plan documents should contain a cover page identifying the project, a location plan and have the necessary signature lines.

Sheet L-1:

¢ Detail 4/L1 does not agree with what is proposed on the plan.

e Please show where the topsoil pile and concrete washout area are to be ’ located. Provide all necessary details pertaining to these work items.

e Detail 8/L1 — the 3-inch diameter orifice elevation does not agree with the value used in the drainage analysis.

e The Construction Sequence identified on the sheet is very basic. Additional detail should be provided for each item number.

© Hood(s) need to be provided over each orifice on the proposed outlet control structure to assist in eliminating debris from getting caught in the orifice.

e HDPE pipe should be used for the storm sewer system. Do not use SDR35 PVC pipe for this application.

Sheet L-2:

.

¢ Pertinent high points for the proposed grading should be shown on the plan.

¢ The location of the proposed drainage inlet structures are not identified on the plan.

e Please identify what the symbol “DS” represents.

¢ Additional product information should be provided for the proposed Erosion Control Net.

e Has the applicant corftacted OCWA about their proposal to remove approximately 2 feet of cover from their existing water main?

¢ The applicant is showing their proposed sanitary sewer lateral connecting to a town owned manhole. A $700 fee will need to be submitted to the Town of Clay for this connection. Additionally, an approvable connection detail needs to be provided in the Site Plan documents showing how this connection will be made.

Sheet L-3:

e It does not appear the applicant is proposing to extend or construct their portion of the proposed interconnected roadway at this time. They are proposing to plant grass within the existing ingress — egress and utility easement.

e The applicant is proposing to plant trees in proximity to the existing water main and within the town road right-of-way. Any woody vegetation should be located away from the water main and out of the town right-of-way.

Sheet L-4:

e Detail 1/L4 — the depths of all utilities should be identified.

e See previous note pertaining to SDR35 PVC pipe.

Sheet L-5:

¢ Need verification that the height identified on this sheet for the light poles includes the height of the concrete base.

Drainage Report:

e Sheet 1 Drainage Report — Under Pre-Developed Conditions the summary identifies a CN value of 54 for the drainage area. In the actual analysis a value of 66 is used.

¢ It appears the existing time of concentration is mislabeled as developed time of concentration.

e It does not appear the analysis considers the upstream overland runoff and it’s impact on this property. The report will have to be modified to take that area into account.

e A map should be provided showing the time of concentration routes.

e Considering what the applicant is basing their CN value on for existing conditions it would be reasonable to require a Manning’s Roughness Coefficient value of .24 be utilized for the Sheet Flow calculation instead of 0.13.

e For Pond 2P an elevation of 450.5 is used for the 3-inch diameter orifice in the analysis. On the Site Plan this value is 450.0.

e I did not find any calculations or drawings showing how the applicant is going to address the NYSDEC runoff reduction volume or green infrastructure requirements.

e Ifthe applicant proposes to disturb one acre or more of land a Notice of Intent will need to be submitted for this project.

These are my comments to date and are subject to change as additional information is provided.
