RE: Crescent Street Residential Subdivision
City Application No. 2020040
Dear Ms. Donohue:
Lansing Engineering is pleased to submit this letter in response to the November 10, 2020 comment
letter prepared by Donald C. Rhodes, P.E. regarding the above noted project.The following
summarizes the comments followed by our response.
General Comments
1. Comment:Application number 20200440 should be added to all documents and subsequent
correspondence.
Response:The Saratoga Springs Application Number has been included on all plan
sheets,submission documents, and correspondence information.
2. Comment: The City and this office should be copied on correspondence by the applicant with
other agencies involved in permitting or otherwise approving or offering comments on the
project.
Response:Comment noted.
3. Comment: A pre-demolition inspection report should be prepared for proposed building
removal to determine if asbestos or lead abatement will be required.
Response:The existing structure has previously been removed from the project site.
The City of Saratoga Springs issued a demolition permit for the removal of the existing
building on March 9,2020.A copy of the permit is attached for reference.As such, the
existing structure has been removed from the site plans as it is no longer situated on
the project site.
4. Comment: Documentation of consultation with NYSHPO regarding potential impacts to
Archaeological and Historic resources should be obtained by the applicant and provided for
review.
Response:The services of Hartgen Archeological Associates, Inc. were retained to
perform a Phase 1 investigation for the proposed project area.A "no effect"letter has
been received from the NYSHPO and is included within Appendix G of the SWPPP.

Project Narrative
5. Comment:The project proposes to abandon an existing undeveloped alley but does not appear
to show whether the land is under the sole control of the City.To determine the extent of
property interests, a licensed surveyor should be retained to identify any potential easements or
property rights that may be influenced by the proposed abandonment of this alley.
Response:The services of Thompson& Flemming Land Surveyors were retained for
surveying and subdivision purposes. Thompson& Flemming has identified the
surrounding properties that will be influenced by the abandonment of the alley. The
applicant has indicated the property owners are in favor of the alleyway
abandonment and a plan has been developed indicating the areas to be conveyed to
the property owners.
6. Comment: The applicant should verify sufficient water and sewer service capacity is available
for the proposed project.
Response:The City of Saratoga Springs and Saratoga County Sewer District have
provided letters stating their ability and willingness to service the proposed project
with utility service. The letters are attached for reference.
Short Environmental Assessment Form (SEAF)
7. Comment: SEAF No. 15 indicates that the proposed site contains threatened or endangered
species which appears to contradict the July 8, 2020 Habitat Assessment Report.The SEAF
should be revised if endangered species do not exist on the proposed project site.
Response:Following a submission of the Short EAF, the City of Saratoga Springs
Planning Board requested the completion of a Full Environmental Assessment Form.A
Full EAF was submitted to the City of Saratoga Springs on August 28,2020. Section
E.2.o of the Full EAF indicates the proposed site contains threatened or endangered
species and the corresponding responses are automatically generated by the NYSDEC
Environmental Resource Mapper.As a result, Gilbert Van Guilder Land Surveyors were
retained to perform a habitat study and generate the Habitat Assessment Report. The
findings of the report concluded that there are no threatened or endangered species
on the parcel. Given the section is generated by the NYSDEC Environmental Resource
Mapper, Lansing Engineering feels the form should not be modified and the Habitat
Assessment Report shall accompany the Full EAF providing the proper documentation
that a habitat study was completed on the project site as a result of the automatically
generated EAF responses.
8. Comment: SEAF No. 17 indicates that discharge to adjacent properties and conveyance systems
is proposed. Use of green infrastructure practices to reduce runoff is proposed with runoff being
directed toward existing storm drains at the intersections of Adams and Crescent. Since plans do
not appear to provide green infrastructure details,the SEAF or plans should be revised.An
increase in runoff to existing storm drains or adjacent properties should not be allowed.
Crescent Street Page 3 of 8
Residential Subdivision December 11, 2020
Response:The EAF has been modified to remove references to green infrastructure
practices. The project is residential in nature and will disturb between 1.0 and 5.0
acres. Per Section 242-7(A)(1)of City of Saratoga Springs Zoning Code a Basic SWPPP is
required for soil and erosion control.
Water Sewer Letter Report
9. Comment:The report concludes that anticipated water and sewer demands for the project are
insignificant when compared to the capacity available in the area.The applicant should provide
documentation from the City Department of Public Works(DPW)that verifies water and sewer
capacity is available and can be reserved for this project.
Response:The City of Saratoga Springs and Saratoga County Sewer District have
provided letters stating their ability and willingness to service the proposed project
with utility service. The letters are attached for reference.
Habitat Suitability Report
10. Comment: The applicant should obtain a written determination from the NYS Department of
Environmental Conservation Natural Heritage Program regarding potential for
endangered/threatened species that may occur within the project area.
Response: A letter has been provided by the NYSDEC National Heritage Program
stating there are no records of rare or state-listed animals or plants, or significant
natural communities at the project site. The letter is attached for reference.
11. Comment: The report should be updated to reference findings related to typical species of
concern such as the Northern Long-eared and Indiana Bat.
Response:The Northern Long-Eared and Indiana Bat are not listed on the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service's IPaC website as typical species of concern at the project set. The U.S.
fish and Wildlife Service IPaC printout is attached for reference.Additionally, the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service responded to the project habitat study submission with the
following regarding the Karner Blue Butterfly listed for the site;
"Thank you for your letter.As you have found no suitable habitat for the Karner Blue
Butterfly exists on the project site. We have no further comments."
12. Comment: Additional site investigations and cutting restrictions may be required to ensure that
no endangered or protected species will be impacted by this project and all necessary
protections should be incorporated into final project plans.
Response:There are no clearing restrictions for the project site given the required
restrictions for the Northern Long-Eared and Indian Bat are not listed. The species
listed for the this site(Karner Blue Butterfly)was determined not to be found onsite
following the habitat study investigation and review by the U.S Fish and Wildlife
Service.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
13. Comment:Grading limits have been conservatively drawn and final construction will likely
expand beyond the 0.98-acre limit shown.Therefore,the project should be considered as
proposing to disturb beyond the 1-acre limit and be required to obtain a Stormwater Permit
from the NYSDEC. It appears that the only way the project can proceed without a permit is for
the applicant to install a construction barrier to prevent disturbance at the proposed grading
limits, and be willing to cease activity until a permit is obtained if limits need to be exceeded at
any time during construction.
Response:As suggested, the grading limits have been extended and encompass
approximately 1.24 acres and will be required to obtain a Stormwater Permit from the
NYSDEC.See the attached plans for the revised grading limits.
14. Comment: Except for a small area by the hydrant at the intersection of Jackson and Crescent
Street,the project proposes grading to the edge of pavement.Since it is unlikely that this small
area will remain undisturbed,the grading limit on sheet ESC-1 should be revised to extend the
grading limit to the edge of pavement in this area.Silt fence should be adjusted accordingly.
Response:The area around the existing hydrant has been included within the
disturbed and the silt fence has been adjusted accordingly.
15. Comment: The applicant should review grading limits at the proposed stockpile location to
determine if enlargement is needed to access the stockpile as sites are developed without
reliance on public roads for stockpile transport.
Response:The proposed grading limits have been revised to include approximately
1.24 acres and provide sufficient area for enlargement of the soil stockpile as needed
to prevent reliance on public roads for stockpile transport.
16. Comment: We note that a basic SWPPP has been prepared for this project since residential
construction is proposed and since total disturbance will not exceed 5-acres. Projects that meet
the requirements of a basic SWPPP are not required by the NYSDEC to install post construction
stormwater practices. However, as a matter of good practice that the project should be required
to meet the following design criteria:
a) Stormwater management practices should be installed to prevent discharge of additional
stormwater to adjacent properties and public systems. Management practices should be
sized to ensure that post development runoff matches existing conditions;and
Response:The project is residential in nature and includes soil disturbances greater
than 1 acre and less than 5 acres. Per Section 242-7(A)(1)of City of Saratoga Springs
Zoning Code and Appendix B of the NYSDEC General Permit GP-0-20-001, a Basic
SWPPP is required that only includes erosion&sediment controls.As such, the Basic
SWPPP has been prepared and includes the Erosion&Sediment Control Plan.
Crescent Street Page 5 of 8
Residential Subdivision December 11, 2020
b) The SWPPP should be revised to provide information regarding the operation and
maintenance of each stormwater management practice that will be utilized on this project;
and
Response:The proposed project does not include the construction of stormwater
management practices.As stated in response(a)above, the project is residential in
nature and includes soil disturbances between 1 acre and 5 acres.A Basic SWPPP is
required that only includes erosion&sediment controls by the City of Saratoga Springs
and the NYSDEC.
c) Details for the green infrastructure practices proposed in the SEAF should be referenced in
the SWPPP, included but not limited to, design calculations and soil testing information
assuming infiltration practices will be used.
Response: The SEAF has been revised to remove references to green infrastructure
practices.As stated in response(a)above, the project is residential in nature and
includes soil disturbances between 1 acre and 5 acres.A Basic SWPPP is required that
only includes erosion&sediment controls by the City of Saratoga Springs and the
NYSDEC.
17. Comment:The report should include calculations for the development of the composite curve
numbers used to include land use, hydrologic soil group (HSG) and runoff curve numbers for
both pre and post developed conditions.The revised report should include a map showing land
use associated with each HSG area.
Response:The project is residential in nature and includes soil disturbances greater
than 1 acre and less than 5 acres. Per Section 242-7(A)(1)of City of Saratoga Springs
Zoning Code and Appendix B of the NYSDEC General Permit GP-0-20-001, a Basic
SWPPP is required that only includes erosion&sediment controls.As such, the Basic
SWPPP has been prepared and includes the Erosion&Sediment Control Plan.
Therefore, the requested calculations are not required and have not been included
within the attached Basic SWPPP Report.
18. Comment: The report should include drainage area maps for both pre and post developed
conditions.These maps should show the entire drainage area tributary to the stormwater
management practice with all sub-catchment areas,time of concentration flow paths and design
points indicated on the maps.
Response:Refer to response to Comment#17. Therefore, the drainage area maps are
not required and have not been included within the attached Basic SWPPP Report.
19. Comment: The SWPPP should include a complete and signed copy of the N01.
Response:As part of the NYSDEC requirements, an electronic NOI(eN01)is required
and submitted for review prior to issuance of a stormwater permit. The eN01 shall be
completed and signed as required by the SWPPP Preparer and Owner once all site
approvals have been obtained.A draft NM has been completed and included within
Appendix C of the attached Basic SWPPP Report.
Crescent Street Page 6 of 8
Residential Subdivision December 11, 2020
20. Comment: NYSHPO consultation correspondence should be included in the SWPPP appendix to
replace the map currently provided.
Response:The services of Hartgen Archeological Associates, Inc. were retained to
perform a Phase 1 investigation for the proposed project area.A "no effect"letter has
been received from the NYSHPO and is included within Appendix G of the SWPPP.
Project Plans
21. Comment:The final mylar of the subdivision map must be signed and stamped by a Professional
Land Surveyor.
Response:Comment noted.
22. Comment: The Subdivision plan calls for a portion of the undeveloped alley to be conveyed to
adjoining landowners.Additional details should be provided to explain how this conveyance will
be accomplished. Revisions may be needed to allow the necessary legal descriptions to be
prepared for conveyance and consolidation of the alley to adjacent properties.
Response:A plan has been developed by Thompson& Flemming Land Surveyors
demonstrating how the alleyway will be conveyed to the surrounding property
owners. Once the subdivision has been approved, the revisions shall be completed to
allow the necessary legal descriptions to be prepared for conveyance and
consolidation of the alley to the adjacent properties
23. Comment: A licensed Land Surveyor should complete a title search to determine which
properties, if any, have deeded rights to the alleyway that may be impacted by the proposed
abandonment.The subdivision map should be revised to show findings accordingly. Review by
the City Attorney may also be required since the proposed project involves conveyance of public
lands.
Response:The deeds into each property owner for their portion of the right of way
conveyed from the city will include language which states that as consideration for
conveyance of fee title to the portion of the paper street abutting the rear of their
property, each property owner waives all rights, title and interest each may have now
or may have ever had over any portion of the paper street.
24. Comment: A pre-demolition inspection report should be obtained and provided for City review.
Any necessary pre-demolition abatement should be referenced on the sheet ED-1.Abatement
specifications may also be required.
Response:Refer to the response provided for Comment#3.
25. Comment:Trees within the City right-of-way that are to remain should be specifically called out
on relevant plans.A tree protection detail should be added, and plans should be updated to
show protection with signage and silt or construction fencing at the dripline of each tree.
Crescent Street Page 7 of 8
Residential Subdivision December 11, 2020
Response:The plans have been revised to specify which trees shall remain. Tree
protection fencing has been shown on the respective plans around the dree dripline.
Additionally, a detail has been added to the Sheet DT-1 and includes fencing and sign
location and specifications around the existing trees to be preserved.
26. Comment: The typical lot layout shown on sheet DT-1 should be revised to eliminate the sump
pump lateral extending toward the public roadway. In lieu of off-site discharge, details should be
added to the plans for on-site management of sump pump flows.
Response:The Typical Lot Layout detail has been revised to remove the sump pump
lateral extending toward the public roadway. Test pits were completed on October 23,
2020 and confirmed sandy soils are located around the site and seasonal high
groundwater is present at an elevation of 300.48. The minimum proposed GFF
elevation in the Crescent Street Subdivision is 310.48 providing a first floor FFE of
312.98 and BFF of 302.98 minimum. The basement finished floor elevation is
approximately 2.5 feet higher than the elevation of observed seasonal high
groundwater, therefore sump pumps and laterals shall not be required for the
construction of the single-family residences.Sump pumps are highly recommended
regardless of separation to seasonal high groundwater.
27. Comment: Inlet protection does not appear to be shown on ESC-1 but is called for in the notes.
Drywells along the roadway should be protected.
Response:Sheet ESC-1 has been revised to include inlet protection for the existing
drywells located along Crescent Street.
28. Comment: Particular Measures Note 8 on sheet ESC-1 does not appear to apply.
Response:Note 8 has been removed from the particular measures section on Sheet
ESC-1.
29. Comment:Construction fence or silt fence and signage should be shown along the northern
boundary of the project site to prevent off-site construction encroachment.
Response:Sheet ESC-1 has been revised to include additional silt fence along the
northern boundary of the project site.
30. Comment: Details should be compared against standard requirements of the City of Saratoga
Springs and modified as necessary.
Response:All details have been compared to the City Standard Details. General details
have been included for the remaining details in which the City does not provide a
standard detail.
31. Comment: Grading limits from ESC-1 should also be shown on ED-1 and LMG-1.
Response:Sheets ED-1 and LMG-1 have been revised to include the grading limits from
the Erosion&Sediment Control Plan.

IPaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat
(collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS)
jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list
may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be
directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood
and extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional
site-specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project-specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of
proposed activities) information. ,
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the
N ,
USFWS office(s)with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each
section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands)for

Endangered s
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of
project level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species.
Additional areas of influence (AOI)for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of
the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a
dam upstream of a fish population, even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly
impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move,
and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near
the project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site-specific and
project-specific information is often required. '+
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary
information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area
of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any
Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement can
only be obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in
IPaC (see directions below) or from the local field office directly.
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website
and request an official species list by doing the following:
1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT. SC144'
3. Log in (if directed to do so).4
4. Provide a name and description for your project.
5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed species and their critical habitats are managed by the Ecological Services Program of the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the fisheries division of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA FisheriesZ).
Species and critical habitats under the sole responsibility of NOAA Fisheries are not shown on this
list. Please contact NOAA =-[ heri s for specie under :h it-jiris iction.
