34. Drainage Review Recommendation: The proposed  stormwater

management  plan meets the intent of the regulation  and the Drainage  Consultant to the Planning  Board therefore  recommends  that the New York City Football

Club Site Plan be approved  for drainage  subject to the subject to the following comments.

 

Project Comments TO THE DRAINAGE DESIGN:

 

(1) A Full Stormwater  Pollution  Prevention  Plan (SWPPP)  needs to be submitted  for review prior to the Planning  Board Final approval.   This will include a Notice of Intent, various  owner/preparer/contractor    certification, spill prevention,  Operation  & Maintenance  Manual,  construction sequencing  and erosion  control discussion.

 

(2) The current design does not provide  100% Runoff Reduction  through Green  Infrastructure  Techniques  and therefore  the SWPPP  also needs to include a discussion  about why it cannot  be met.  This shall include a breakdown  of each practice that is not used and why being implemented

on-site.   Please  note, the diversion  swale proposed  on the west end of the

improvements  appears  to be an opportunity  to implement  a vegetated swale which would  help increase the Runoff Reduction  provided.

 

(3) Section  2.0 and 3.0 of the Report appear to mix-up the appendix references.          Please revise for consistency.

 

(4) The rainfall depths  provided  in table 2 of the report do no match the Figures  provide  in the New York State Stormwater  Management  Design Manual (NYSSMDM)  prepared  by NYSDEC  but they appear to be accurate  since they are based on specific  project  location.   Unless DEME objects,  the Drainage  Consultant  finds no issue with these  rainfall depths.

Continuation  of Condition  #34 …..

 

(5) While the Drainage Consultant recognizes the claim made in the report that the proposed improvements will all drain to an existing low spot/swale at the north end of the property, the southeast corner of the property

drains to the east in an apparent roadside ditch under existing conditions. Since this corner of the property is proposed to be developed, it needs to be included in the existing conditions that are studied. The Developed Conditions Drainage Area Map includes a large portion of the site that is not included in the Existing Conditions Drainage Area Map. The entire property and all design points shall be studied.

 

(6) The sheet slow shown on the existing conditions map shall be limited to

100 feet.

 

(7) The existing topography indicates that a large depression occurs in the middle of the site.  The Report states that the depression inundates 6-feet before cresting and discharging off-site. While there is no evidence of any current or past water or any conveyance, this depression does provide available storage in the existing condition that needs to be taken into account when calculating peak flow rates.

 

(8) White each individual Soil Type does not need to be shown on the Drainage Area Maps, the boundaries between the different Hydrologic Soil Groups shall be included.

 

(9) The bioretention worksheet included in Appendix C needs to be modified to remove the 1.0 inch per hour infiltration rate as this basin will be designed with underdrains. If a percolation rate is being assumed, a different Green Infrastructure worksheet shall be used.

 

 

 

(10) Project Comments TO THE SITE PLANS:

 

(1) Grading plan needs additional elevation information including spot shots in the parking lots, concrete walkways, throughout the athletic field, etc.  Not enough information is provided to determine if adequate slope is provided for overland flow.

 

(2) Similarly, the drainage inlets and pipes need elevation information to be reviewed.

(3) The proposed drainage swale on the west side of the training facility building is not currently graded as a swale.

 

(4) Please provide maintenance access for both the detention basin and bioretention area.

 

(5) Please provide sizing calculations for the rip-rap outlet protection proposed in and out of the basins.

(6) The berm on the downhill (north) side of the detention basin is too narrow

at the top.  It needs to be at least 1 O’ wide and shall have an emergency spillway in the event the outlet control structure is blocked or a storm event in excess of the 100-year event occurs.

(7) Please provide details for drain inlets, drain pipe trenching, roof leaders,

perforated underdrain, outlet protection, outlet control structures, emergency spillway, detention basin cross section, bioretention cross section and any other drainage related items that are proposed on site.

(8) The overall erosion and sediment control plan is acceptable in concept.

However, as the total disturbance is over 5 acre, a phasing plan will be required unless the applicant is seeding a waiver from the 5-acre disturbance limit.

(9) Please provide details for the construction entrances, stockpiles, inlet filters, sediment basin outlet control structure, silt fence and any other silt fence measures proposed on site.

 

 

 

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

Continuation  of Condition  #14 …

 

 

 

Project Description:  This is the first drainage review report for this project. The property is located along the west side of Corporate Drive and has parcels on the north and south sides of the road. The parcel on the north side is an existing parking lot and the parcel on the south side contains the existing building and additional parking. The project proposed to expand the parking lot on the north parcel to add 27 spaces and to construct a 12,000 square feet building addition on the south parcel. There is an existing stormwater management basin on the south parcel that receives stormwater runoff from both areas of land disturbance; no change to the runoff pattern is proposed. The building addition is located on an existing parking lot and no increase to impervious area is proposed at this location.

 

Project Comments:

1. The SWPPP uses 24-hour rainfall totals from the 201O NYSDEC design

manual, which was effective at the time of the original Site Plan approval. The Town of Orangetown MS4 Compliance Officer shall make a determination if the updated 2015 NYSDEC 24 –  hour rainfall totals should be used for the design of the stormwater management basin for this modified Site Plan application.  It is noted that the basin provides storage

of 5.6″ of rainfall over the impervious area contributing to the stormwater basin (7.0 acres).

 

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

 

• The Borough of Old Tappan, New Jersey is the reason this proposal was referred to Rockland County  Department of  Planning for  review.   The municipal boundary is located directly south of the site. As required under Section 239nn of the State General Municipal Law, 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.

16. The Rockland County Health Department (RCDOH) reviewed the information provided and found that there are no RCDOH approvals needed for this application.

 

17. 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.

 

18. The Town of Orangetown Bureau of Fire Prevention reviewed the plan and offered the following comments.

 

• The Site Plan shows the driveway from Corporate Drive to the rear of the building in excess of 360 feet. The reconfiguration of the parking lot and addition have eliminated the required turn around for fire apparatus.

 

• Please clarify if the reconfigured entrance will have a new gate or will the existing be used; fire apparatus road gates must be a minimum of 20 feet wide. The proposed widths of the entrance/exit are not compliant with the

20 foot minimum per code.

 

• Provide detailed construction plans for the addition to the Bureau of Fire

Prevention.

 

• Clarify if the turning radius for a 217 inch wheelbase fire apparatus has been maintained at the Southeast corner of the proposed addition.

 

19. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) indicated that based upon its review of the circulated documents, it appears that the project may require the following permits:

• DEC has reviewed the State’s Master Habitat Databank (MHDB) records and determined that the site is located within or near record(s) of the following state-listed species Bald eagle {Haliaeetus leucocephalus), a New York State Threatened species. The project is more than 660 feet from an existing Bald eagle nest, but close enough that some activities have the potential for negative impacts to Bald eagles. Activities which generate extremely loud noises, such as blasting would be of concern at this location. Landscape buffers on the western property line are recommended. For further information about potential impacts to Bald eagles at this project site, contact the DEC Bureau of Wildlife at 845-256-

2257. Bald eagle nests are generally established in late February/early March. DEC recommends checking on the status of Bald eagle nests each year before undertaking construction involving potential impacts.

Continuation  of Condition  #19 ….

 

• State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Stormwater Permit

(SPDES):

o   This site is within an MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer

System) area.

o    It appears that this project will disturb more than one acre, requiring

a SPDES Stormwater Permit.  If this project qualifies for the General Permit, the stormwater plan must be reviewed and accepted by the municipality and the MS4 Acceptance Form must be submitted to DEC.

 

• Cultural Resources: DEC has reviewed the statewide inventory of archaeological resources maintained by the New York State Museum and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. These records indicate that the parking expansion portion of the project is located within an area considered to be sensitive with regard to archaeological resources. Visit NYS Office of Historic Preservation website at nysparks.com/shop/online-tools.

 

• Other permits from DEC or other agencies may be required for projects conducted on this property now or in the future. Also, regulations applicable to the location subject to this determination occasionally are revised and therefore, the applicant should verify the need for permits if the project is delayed or postponed. This determination regarding the need for permits will remain effective for a maximum of one year unless you are otherwise notified.

23. TREE PROTECTION: The following note shall be placed on the Site Plan: The Tree Protection and Preservation Guidelines adopted

pursuant to Section 21-24 of the Land Development Regulations of the Town of

Orangetown will be implemented in order to protect and preserve both individual specimen trees and buffer area with many trees. Steps that will be taken to reserve and protect existing trees to remain are as follows:

 

1. No construction equipment shall be parked under the tree canopy.
2. There will be no excavation or stockpiling of earth underneath the trees.
3. Trees designated to be preserved shall be marked conspicuously on all sides at a 5 to 10 foot height.
4. The Tree Protection Zone for trees designated to be preserved will be

established by one of the following methods:

– One ( 1 ) foot radius from trunk per inch DBH

– Drip line of the Tree Canopy. The method chosen should be based on providing the maximum protection zone possible. A barrier of snow fence or equal is to be placed and maintained one yard beyond the established tree protection zone. If it is agreed that the tree protection zone of a

selected tree must be violated, one of the following methods must be employed to mitigate the impact:

– Light to Heavy Impacts –  Minimum of eight inches of wood chips installed in the area to be protected. Chips shall be removed upon

completion of work.

– Light Impacts Only –  Installation of% inch of plywood or boards, or equal over the area to be protected.

The builder or its agent may not change grade within the tree protection zone of a preserved tree unless such grade change has received final approval from the Planning Board. If the grade level is to be changed

more than six (6) inches, trees designated to be preserved shall be welled and/or preserved in a raised bed, with the tree well a radius of three (3)

feet larger than the tree canopy.

 

24. All landscaping shown on the site plans shall be maintained in a vigorous growing condition throughout the duration of the use of this site. Any plants not so maintained shall be replaced with new plants at the beginning of the next immediately following growing season.

 

25. Prior to the commencement of any site work, including the removal of trees, the applicant shall install the soil erosion and sedimentation control as required by the Planning Board. Prior to the authorization to proceed with any phase of the site work, the Town of Orangetown Department of Environmental Management and Engineering (DEME) shall inspect the installation of all required soil erosion and sedimentation control measures. The applicant shall contact DEME at least 48 hours in advance for an inspection.

28. Iron pins shall be drawn and labeled at each property corner.

 

29. Drainage Review Recommendation: The application has provided sufficient information to demonstrate that potential significant adverse impacts with respect to drainage can be mitigated and therefore the Drainage Consultant to the Planning Board recommends that the Orangetown Commerce Center Site Plan be approved for drainage subject to the subject to the following comments.

 

Project Description:  This is the first drainage review report for this project. The property is located on the west side of Greenbush Road and south of Highview Avenue. The existing parcel has been mostly cleared with some impervious area remaining from the previous use. The land slopes moderately downhill to the

east toward Greenbush Road and there is an existing drainage system at Greenbush Road. The storm drainage system in this area includes three 18″ pipes, one 24″ pipe, and one 60″ pipe that cross Greenbush Road and enters the property to the east. The plan includes three separate stormwater management basins to provide mitigation of increases in stormwater runoff. Theses basins outlet directly to the existing storm drainage system in Greenbush Road.

 

Project Comments:

1. The subarea maps contained in the drainage report shall include existing and proposed topography. The subbasin delineations shall be based on the topography and not necessarily the property lines.
2. Off-site runoff to the west shall be evaluated to determine if this runoff enters the site and subsequently the detention basins.
3. Off-site runoff from the storm drainage outfall along the west property line, west of Unit J, shall be incorporated into the design.
4. There are several storm drainage pipes that flow east through the site. An analysis of the off-site drainage that crosses the railroad line west of

the site and enters these pipes shall be included in the drainage report to ensure that the site will not be flooded from off-site runoff.

5. There is an existing 24″ diameter pipe that enters the existing catch basin on the west side of Greenbush Road and north of Stevens Way. The pipe is shown as entering the basin from the site. The full location of

this pipe shall be located during construction and the contributing drainage area to this pipe shall be determined by the applicant’s engineer.  If the pipe only conveys on-site runoff from the site and is to be removed based on the new development, then no change to the plan will be necessary. A map note shall be added indicating this.

6. Of the building should be added to the grading plan and the slopes from the front door to the curb added.
7. The drainage report shows runoff from the flat roof as being divided into the three separate stormwater management basins; additional detail of the roof drainage shall be provided on the Site Plan drawings to ensure the building will be constructed as per the design and no one basin will

receive an overflow of runoff to contradict the drainage design.

8. Forebays shall be added to the stormwater management basins.
9. A details shall be provided for the existing storm drainage manhole that receives the outlet pipe from the southern stormwater management basin (OS-5) to ensure that this tie-in can be constructed.
10. A detail of the cistern shall be provided. The means of draining the cisterns shall be included in the plans.

 

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

• Areas dedicated for snow piles must be clearly delineated on the site plan so that the plow drivers know where to place the snow piles. This will help to protect the landscaping from being broken from the weight of the snow and from causing salt intrusion to the plants. In addition, providing specific locations on the site for the snow piles, especially since less than the required number of parking spaces is being provided, will eliminate the loss of parking spaces meant for the patrons and employees.

 

o     All proposed signage shall conform to the municipality’s sign standards.

 

• It is not clear if the existing monitoring well will be removed. If it is to be removed after the clean-up of the site, then the Rockland County Department of Health must be notified of the intent to decommission the wells, and monitor the process to ensure that it is done in compliance with the specifications of Article II  of the Rockland County Sanitary Code.  All required permits must be obtained from them.

 

• If any variances are needed to implement the proposed site plan, the Rockland County  Department of  Planning  requests the  opportunity to review the proposed variances, as required by New York State General Municipal Law, Section 239-m(3)(v).

 

31. The Rockland County Health Department (RCDOH) reviewed the information provided and offered the following comments:

 

 

• RCDOH must approve the plans for the sewage disposal by per Article IV, Section 4.2.1 of the Rockland County Sanitary Code.

 

• Application is to be made to the RCDOH for review of the storm water management system for compliance with the County Mosquito Code.

 

32. 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.

 

33. Based upon Rockland County Drainage Agency (RCDA) evaluation of available mapping and information submitted, it has been determined that the proposed activity is outside the jurisdiction of the RCDA. Therefore, a permit from the RCDA pursuant to the Rockland County Stream Control Act, Chapter 846, is not required based upon its review of the information provided.

4. A separate plan shall be provided for the internal commercial subdivision.

 

5. Drainage Review Recommendation: The application has provided sufficient information to demonstrate that potential significant adverse impacts with respect to drainage can be mitigated and therefore the Drainage Consultant to the Planning Board recommends that the Orangetown Commerce Center Site Plan be approved for drainage subject to the subject to the following comments.

 

Project Description:  This is the first drainage review report for this project. The property is located on the west side of Greenbush Road and south of Highview Avenue. The existing parcel has been mostly cleared with some impervious area remaining from the previous use. The land slopes moderately downhill to the

east toward Greenbush Road and there is an existing drainage system at Greenbush Road. The storm drainage system in this area includes three 18″ pipes, one 24″ pipe, and one 60″ pipe that cross Greenbush Road and enters the property to the east. The plan includes three separate stormwater management basins to provide mitigation of increases in stormwater runoff. Theses basins outlet directly to the existing storm drainage system in Greenbush Road.

 

Project Comments:

1. The subarea maps contained in the drainage report shall include existing and proposed topography. The subbasin delineations shall be based on the topography and not necessarily the property lines.
2. Off-site runoff to the west shall be evaluated to determine if this runoff enters the site and subsequently the detention basins.
3. Off-site runoff from the storm drainage outfall along the west property line,

west of Unit J, shall be incorporated into the design.

4. There are several storm drainage pipes that flow east through the site. An analysis of the off-site drainage that crosses the railroad line west of the site and enters these pipes shall be included in the drainage report to ensure that the site will not be flooded from off-site runoff.
5. There is an existing 24″ diameter pipe that enters the existing catch basin on the west side of Greenbush Road and north of Stevens Way. The pipe is

shown as entering the basin from the site. The full location of this pipe shall

be located during construction and the contributing drainage area to this pipe shall be determined by the applicant’s engineer.  If the pipe only conveys on• site runoff from the site and is to be removed based on the new development,

then no change to the plan will be necessary. A map note shall be added indicating this.

6. Of the building should be added to the grading plan and the slopes from the front door to the curb added.

• Areas dedicated  for snow  piles must be clearly  delineated  on the site plan so that the plow drivers  know where to place the snow piles.  This will help to protect the  landscaping  from  being  broken  from the weight  of the snow and from causing  salt intrusion  to the plants.   In addition,  providing  specific locations  on  the  site  for  the  snow  piles,  especially   since  less  than  the required  number  of  parking  spaces  is being  provided,  will  eliminate  the loss of parking spaces  meant for the patrons  and employees.

 

o     All proposed signage shall conform to the municipality’s sign standards.

 

• It is not clear if the existing monitoring well will be removed. If it is to be removed after the clean-up of the site, then the Rockland County Department of Health must be notified of the intent to decommission the wells, and monitor the process to ensure that it is done in compliance with the specifications of Article II of the Rockland County Sanitary Code.  All required permits must be obtained from them.
