Rd SBL # 256.-1-7 Major Subdivision-30 lots

conservation subdivision within the Hamlet Residential zone at the Charles
Morris property located on Jenkins Road. The applicant is proposing the construction of
29 new single-family homes; there is an existing residence that would occupy
the 30th lot.
Revised plan based on CT Male June 2019 comments to be presented.
submission addressing CT Male’s comments:
1. The building orientation has been revised for Lot 1 to flip the house
and driveway to the opposite side of the lot. Additionally, the median has been
revised within the Lot 1 vicinity to provide full access to the driveway. For
Lot 28, a vehicle turning template for a full size - light duty truck was
provided and demonstrates a full-size vehicle can safely exit the driveway and
complete a turn at the end of the median in order to exit the subdivision. This
turning movement allows for full and safe access to Lot 28 for both entering
and exiting the driveway.
2. The Drainage Maps have been revised to relocated Design Point 2 at
the location of the stormwater management basin outfall. Additionally, the
SWPPP predevelopment and post-development runoff rates have been revised to
reflect this revision.
3. The rear facing roof lines for Lots 6-16 will require the use of
gutters that will discharge to the proposed swales between the lots. The swales
will direct the stormwater runoff towards the roadway and the closed drainage
system. A note has been added to Sheets LMG-1 and LMG-2 directing the
contractor/developer as such.
4. The impervious area associated with existing subcatchment 5
corresponds with the small area of Scotch Bush Road which is directed onto the
project site along with an existing garage rooftop at the northwest corner of
the parcel identified as Lands of Kuczek and an existing shed located on the
project site which belongs to the neighbor stated above. The existing
conditions plan has been included within the revised SWPPP for reference.
5. The location of the existing wells on the Kuczek and Ro bis ion
parcels have been included on the plans and the corresponding minimum well
separation distances to wastewater disposal systems have been included on Sheet
WDP-1. The well location on the Kuczek parcel is approximate and based on
aerial photographs. The actual location is currently being confirmed with the
property owner and will be provided once confirmed.
6. The shallow trench system on lot 24 has been revised to a
conventional system due to the location and results of the nearest test pit.
See Sheet WDP-1 for this revision. Additionally, for Lots 25-27 according to
the NYSDOH Residential Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems section 9.12.3, a
shallow absorption trench system is utilized where there is at least (2) feet
but less than (4) feet of usable soil present on site and the bottom of the
absorption trench shall not be above the original ground and is preferably 6
inches below the original grade. In the case for Lots 25-2 7, the test pits
indicate greater than 2 feet of usable soil and the bottom of the trenches are
embedded into the original ground and will not be located above the original
grade. As a result, shallow absorption trenches are the best option for
wastewater treatment systems on these lots.
7. According to the NYSDOH Design Handbook sections 9.10.2 and 9.10.3
Gravelless Absorption Trenches, gravelless products may be used in place of
conventional aggregate filled absorption trenches on any site conditions or
designs where conventional aggregate filled absorption trenches are acceptable
and all absorption trench system designs incorporating gravelless products
shall have the same trench length as a conventional system. Appendix C of the
handbook includes a list of accepted gravelless products and indicate the
proposed Quick4 Equalizer 36 chamber is accepted and provides a 25% reduction
in total linear feet of trench length because the product meets the criteria
established in Section 75-A.S(c).
8. A representative from the NYSDOH witnessed the deep hole test pits to
verify the existing soil depths throughout the project site. A note has been
included on the wastewater disposal system plans stating prior to the issuance
of a building permit, additional deep hole test pits and percolation tests will
be completed for each lot within the proposed absorption field limits in
conformance with the Town of Ballston and NYSDOH requirements.
