Landscape Architecture, D.P.C.
Saratoga Pet Resort
May 25, 2018
Following are responses to comments pertaining to the Special Use Permit application for
the Saratoga Pet Resort that were made by members of the City of Saratoga Springs
Planning Board and Public at the May 3, 2018 Planning Board Meeting and Public
Hearing.
Comment No. 1—The project site appears to be in the FEMA mapped 100 and 500 year
floodplains.
Response No. 1 —
The project site where development of the; Pet Resort building,
parking and other amenities are proposed is not in either the 100 or
500 year floodplains. Thompson and Fleming, Licensed Land Surveyors,
plotted the floodplain limits of the Kayderosserass Creek on the site
survey (See Attachment A —Thompson and Fleming Survey).
The Kayderosserass Creek does have a 100 and 500 year floodplain,
however, it is proximate to the steep bank on the north and west side
of the creek and is within the limits of the easement granted to the
State of New York and has no impact on the proposed project.
Conversely, the floodplain on the south and east side of the creek
(Northway side) is rather extensive. This land, however, is inaccessible
and no use or construction on it is proposed.
Comment No. 2 — The City water main in Kaydeross Avenue West is in poor condition and
may not be able to be tapped. The main is corroded in many places
and is planned to be replaced within the next three years. Therefore,
public water service may not be available in time for the project.
Response No. 2 — The proposed maximum daily water usage for the Pet Resort is
estimated to be 1,900 gallons per day. A facility of this nature must
always have a source of water. Therefore, even if public water service
were available, a back-up water storage tank in the building would be
installed in case of a pipe break or other service interruption.
As such, the applicant will install a well on the site which can supply
the needed water. This well and storage tank will be a permanent
480 Broadway, Suite 324 P.O. Box 272 Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 518.832.4005
installation. It will be used to initially service the Pet Resort until such
time that the water main can be safely tapped. It will remain on-line in
case of any future public water service interruption.
A well that yields 5 gallons per minute is a normal supply for a single
family house. A well of this capacity would yield, therefore, 300 gallons
per hour. The required daily usage of 1900 gallons would take 6 hours
and 20 minutes to fill a 1900 gallon storage tank. Therefore, a well
capable of servicing a single family residence is all that is necessary.
The probability of successfully installing a well with this yield is very
high. If a lower yield is only achieved, a larger storage tank or pumping
for more than 6 hours and 20 minutes daily could be considered.
Comment No. 3 — Will the building be equipped with a fire sprinkler system? If so, what
will be the source of water?
Response No. 3 — No, the building is defined as a B (Business) occupancy. This building
occupancy type is not required to be sprinklered based on the ICC
2015 Code. According to Table 506.2 of the International Building
Code, the allowable square footage for a B occupancy, Type Vb
construction without a sprinkler is 9,000 sf. The building will be
subdivided into fire areas between the administrative portion of 3,750
sf and the kennels of +1- 5,800 sf. The fire area will be segregated by a
fire wall with a 2 -hour fire rating to avoid the spread of fire.
Additionally, animal care is best served through limited combustible
construction, early warning fire alarm, and enhanced protection in
accordance with NFPA 150.
Comment No. 4—The site appears to have a high ground water condition. The soil test
pits indicate the presence of cobbles which leads one to believe that a
stream bed existed on the site, possibly related to the Kayderosserass
Creek relocation.
Response No. 4 — The three exploratory soil test pits were conducted to get a
general indication of soil conditions in the area of the site proposed
for development. Of these three soil test pits, TP #1 indicated mottling
at 30 inches below grade. This depicts seasonal high ground water
at that location. TP #1 is in the vicinity of the proposed building. The
building will be a slab -on -grade structure. Groundwater will have no
effect or impact on this construction.
TP# 2 was advanced to 72 inches below grade and TP #3 to 60 inches
below grade. No mottling, bedrock, or ground water was observed.
The soil profile in TP #2 and #3 indicates that granular sand/gravelly
"fill" material was placed over native soil at some time (most likely
when the Northway was constructed and the creek relocated). These
"fill" materials appear to be suitable for the installation of an on-site
septic system and stormwater management practices. It should be
noted that once a site plan is agreed upon and the septic system and
stormwater practices are finally located, new soil test pits, percolation
tests and falling head tests will be conducted and will be used for final
engineering. They will be available for the City to review during Site
Plan Approval. The three exploratory soil test pits were observed by
Matthew Huntington, PE, who is employed by Schoder Rivers
Consulting Engineers, who will be responsible for the design and
engineering of the septic system, water supply and stormwater
management plan. Test pit logs were originally presented in the
attachment to the Environmental Assessment Form which was
submitted to the city. They are also included in Attachment B — Soil
Test Pit Logs.
As to the comment that there is evidence that the creek may have
existed on the north and west portions of the site (due to the presence
of cobbles in test pits), this is not the case. The C.T. Male Survey clearly
indicates the historic channel of Kayderosserass Creek and the
relocated channel location. The historic channel location was closer to
the south bound lane of the Northway. It was relocated to the north
and west. (See Attachment C— C.T. Male Survey).
Comment No. 5 — Will the proposed on-site septic system have an effect on the
Kayderosserass Creek? Will effluent migrate to the Creek?
Response No. 5 — Soils in the vicinity of the proposed on-site septic system are suitable
for in -ground treatment of both human and pet waste. Soil Test Pit #2
and #3 indicated no presence of mottling, and therefore, no high
groundwater table. No bedrock was encountered. The soils, as logged,
are sandy loams and conducive to the design and operation of an on-
site septic disposal system.
The location of the proposed on-site septic system is more than 100
feet from the Kayderosserass Creek. New York State regulations
require such systems to be setback 100 feet from waterbodies.
Comment No. 6— How will the noise of barking dogs be controlled? Will it be a problem
to neighbors?
Response No. 6 — Noise in animal care facilities remains one of the greatest concerns of
animal care facility owners and neighboring property owners alike. It
is also one of the least understood aspects of building design and
operation.
Design: From the design standpoint overall, animal care facilities
should be conceived with transitions from the loudest locations to the
rear to the quietest in the front. Noise transmission is very dependent
on design and construction. Animal facility floor plans should be
designed such that the bulk of common caging is separated from other
portions of the building with intervening corridors.
The exterior egress doors from the kennel should be acoustically
sealed. The doors from the front of the building through the corridor
to the kennels should include a double set of doors, similar to a
vestibule. Note that these particular design elements also provide
excellent air borne pathogen control in properly pressurized facilities.
The floor planning in this facility will be specifically designed to create
separate zones of noise limited construction. Ideally every animal area
will be accessible without walking through adjacent animal areas. Wall
and floor construction is designed to include mass, such as layers of
cement board and gypsum wallboard, in a manner that creates high
STC (Sound Transmission Class) levels of 50 to 60. Barking is greatly
reduced or eliminated when dogs have limited olfactory and auditory
stimulation. For that reason, all dog kennel zones are on independent
HVAC systems and all kennels are acoustically isolated on all walls,
doors and ceilings. In addition, each kennel zone will contain one row
of kennels — as opposed to two rows facing each other. Doing this
prevents dogs from seeing each other and becoming stressed which
could result in barking.
Reverberation Control: Kennel barking noise control can be different
from noise control in other types of buildings for a variety of reasons.
Internal noise control from reverberation frequently relies on porous
surfaces. Kennel surfaces must be washable and are typically hard.
This precludes the use of many commonly used acoustic products.
There are, however, products that will be specified which are effective
and well known in the animal care industry for noise control, including
certain noise abating sprayed -on masonry products, anti -microbial
wall treatments suitable for wet environments, and polypropylene
type materials specifically made for this environment.
Exterior Noise: There is no doubt that it is healthy and normal for dogs
to be outside. Outside air is generally cleaner and being outside gives
dogs the opportunity to socialize using their normal behaviors. Public
safety and dog security are also legitimate considerations and,
therefore, for many decades kennels have accommodated the outside
exposure requirement by confining dogs individually to small, outside
runs or cages. This creates tremendous stress and incessant barking.
A dog's natural desire to play and socialize is exacerbated by the
confinement and leads to significant barking and presumably stress in
some dogs. Some dogs clearly exhibit anxiety and persistence as they
attempt to get out of the confinement to see and smell other dogs.
For these reasons, this facility will not have any individual cages on the
exterior of the building.
The best protocol is to provide multiple, smaller, separated play yards
that can accommodate 6 to 12 dogs that are grouped according to
size, age, behavior, temperament and condition. The groupings are
very important. Dogs that are outside will bark less when they are
with other dogs and are supervised. The only time that dogs will be
outside at this facility will be when they are in one of the play yards.
Further, dogs will only be in play yards during one of the following
scenarios; when they are being walked on -leash for bathroom breaks,
during group play (daycare participants — weather permitting) or for
individual play sessions. A handler will be present in all scenarios while
dogs are in the play yards.
Comment No. 7— Will the Pet Resort produce odors from animal waste? How will it be
controlled?
Response No. 7 — We design for odor -free environments. This is accomplished through
specialized plumbing systems, cleaning protocols, excellent lighting in
dog areas and advanced HVAC systems.
The best plumbing design practice is to separate trench drain and dog
tub waste from the sanitary waste. The proper design combines all of
the sanitary and solid waste in one lateral, while all of the trench
drains and dog bathing fixtures are sent through a hair trap prior to
being introduced to the sewage system. The drainage lines will be
designed to exit the building in a manner such that they can be easily
cleaned independently.
The trench drains have an automatic warm water flushing system to
keep urine from wetting the drain surface and drying there. This is a
big source of odor. Trench drainage is the superior method of liquid
waste removal. Flush fixtures are used for solid dog waste removal
and are located in every kennel zone.
Kennel HVAC systems are entirely different from those designed for
human occupancy, including medical buildings. There should be many
smaller zones rather than a few large zones. Air flows are significantly
higher than those of human occupied buildings, but not as high as for
animal research facilities with outside air systems. Supply air systems
must employ vertical air flows, moderate velocity and distribution
opposite to that of a typical office or retail space. Fresh air flow rates
are based on the number of animals and caging type.
Properly designed, odor free animal care HVAC systems have multiple,
smaller, independent zones, ducted return air with animal specific
ionizers, encapsulating exhaust at sources of odor and moisture, and
significant fresh air dilution. These systems are designed to reduce
animal stress, permit a wide range of temperature and humidity
control simultaneously in multiple areas of the facility, and create a
disease and odor mitigated environment. Animals often identify their
environments through olfactory stimulation first, followed by auditory
and then visual stimulation. Creating multiple, small mechanical zones
that are entirely independent greatly help to eliminate olfactory and,
to an extent, auditory stimulation from one animal area to another;
smells and sounds from one animal zone are never introduced to
other animal zones.
Ionization systems that are specifically designed for animal care are
included in the mechanical ductwork to kill airborne bacteria such as
Bordetella. These systems are also proven to mitigate specific
airborne animal viral disease and breakdown airborne volatile organic
compounds. Finally, all mechanical equipment is designed to operate
in a dehumidification mode. Humidity in the air is strongly correlated
with increased bacterial virulence. Humidity also correlates with
surface moisture on walls and floors, which can encourage fungal and
bacterial colonies.
Comment No. 8 — What will be the impact from pets urinating in the outdoor play areas?
Will this affect water quality in Kayderosserass Creek?
Response No. 8 — There is very little impact from animal urination and urine will never
reach Kayderosserass Creek. Factually urine is extremely minimal; a
single rain storm would have a tremendous amount of water
compared to the tiny amount of urine fluid that occurs. The urine
settles on the surface and evaporates immediately from the top layer
of soil. In fact this is why the smell of urine is noticeable at close
proximity.
We are very familiar with this concern and frequently have outdoor
dog areas in our designs. We always design this as outside drainage
and recommend outside dog area drainage to be discharged to storm
systems or surface runoff.
A properly designed outside dog area will have solid waste removed
manually such that the only effluent is merely the urine. The amount
of urine the dogs release compared to the amount of typical rainwater
is a fraction of a percent. It is negligible. Even with daily cleaning, the
amount of water used is miniscule compared to one rainstorm.
Comment No. 9 — Visual simulations of the proposed project were presented driving
westward on Kaydeross Avenue West. Please present additional visual
simulations driving eastward. Are the simulations accurate?
Response No. 9 — The attached images offer street views for the preferred proposed site
plan option that orients the building at an angle to the street. The
building fits better into the site and is nestled into the site where it will
not appear as dominant. The attached simulations indicate the site
orientation, the location of the views and visibility of the building from
both east and west directions as requested (See Attachment D — Visual
Simulations for Preferred Site Plan Option). Also, included is another
site plan option that orients the building facing perpendicular to the
street. (See attachment E — Visual Simulations for Alternate Site Plan).
Comment No. 10 — What mitigation measures are proposed to buffer or screen views
from Kaydeross Avenue West to the Pet Resort building and parking
lot?
Response No. 10 — Earth berms (3+/- feet tall) are proposed between the parking lot and
Kaydeross Avenue West. These earth berms (mounds) will be planted
with evergreen shrubs and evergreen trees which will reduce and/or
totally eliminate visibility of cars in the parking lot and Pet Play Yards
from Kaydeross Avenue West. (See Attachment F — Revised Site Plan).
Comment No. 11 —Some residents of the neighborhood, as well as planning board
members, questioned the proximity of the Pet Resort to residential
structures. What is the context of the neighborhood in which the Pet
Resort is being proposed? How close are neighbors? Is the scale of the
overall project in character with the neighborhood?
Response No. 11 —
Context of neighborhood and the proximity of the Pet Resort to
residential structures:
The neighborhood context in the immediate vicinity of 1/2 mile includes
a small private kindergarten, a barn, individual single family houses,
and a residential subdivision. The site is located adjacent to the
Kayderosserass Creek, the Adirondack Northway and along Kaydeross
Avenue West. The proximity to other residential structures in the
subdivision is 1,000 feet (approximately 1/4 mile) from the proposed site
(See Attachment — Distance Map).
Scale of the overall project in character with the neighborhood:
The overall size of the building for Phase 1 is 9,750 sf with the port
cochere at approximately 1,000 sf. For comparison, this is shown in the
following attachments that illustrate the proposed project relative to
other similar animal facilities and buildings in the vicinity. (See
Attachment H — Relative Size of Proposed Pet Resort Building).
Image 1 illustrates the Pet Resort in relation to the Burnt Hills Vet
Hospital. The size of Burnt Hills Vet hospital is 10,700 sf and is also
located in a rural residential area adjacent to residential homes.
Image 2 illustrates the size of the Pet Resort (10,700 sf) in relation to
the Saratoga County Animal Shelter. (25,000 sf, thus it is significantly
smaller).
Image 3 illustrates the Pet Resort in contrast to the cul-de-sac in the
residential neighborhood. As shown, it is about the same size as the
cul-de-sac.
Image 4 illustrates the proposed Pet Resort in relation to BBQSA and
the Best Western Hotel (38,000 sf) — both buildings are within a mile of
the site.
These are all to scale based on Google Maps and Cadd generated
imagery.
Scale and Architectural Compatibility:
Architectural compatibility is based on various factors including
the overall size, exterior materials, overall massing, rooflines, and
visibility from the street.
The 3D images in Attachment D — Visual Simulations for Preferred Site
Plan Option, illustrate the impact of the project as viewed from the
street. The overall size of the building is well below the allowable size
prescribed in the zoning law. Zoning permits 15% lot coverage and
the proposed footprint is 3.08%. The allowable height is 35' and the
peak of the highest roofline is 34'. The size is relative to other
structures both in the vicinity and adjoining properties as indicated in
the previous attachments.
The overall massing and scale is architecturally diminished by using a
variety of rooflines and shed dormers to help "break down" the
building's overall volume. The entry features a natural timber -frame
port-cochere to provide a functional welcoming entry point.
Materials on the exterior of the building include natural stone, wood
timbers, and residential siding with board and batten in the gables
which reflect a rural residential character. The visibility from the street
is further diminished with the proposed diagonal location as it nestles
into a natural barrier of trees.
Comment No. 12 — Several members of the public stated that traffic is a problem in the
area. Their comments specifically include the following:
A. Comment No. 12-A — The NY Route 9/Kaydeross Avenue West
intersection is dangerous and results in accidents.
A. Response No. 12-A— As noted in the traffic evaluation prepared by
VHB, a worst-case estimate of peak hour trips to the site will result in
the generation of 52 vehicle trips (26 entering and 26 exiting) on a
weekday. This magnitude of traffic results in the addition of less than
one vehicle trip every minute during the peak hours, a magnitude of
traffic that will be accommodated for by the existing roadway network.
The traffic evaluation further indicates that the distribution of traffic in
and out of the site will result in a worst case peak hour increase of
approximately 28 vehicle trips at the US Route 9/Kaydersoss Avenue
West intersection. The 28 site related vehicles will represent less than
2% of the peak hour traffic on US Route 9, which carries between
1,500 and 1,800 peak hour trips, further confirming the minimal
impact and increase that the site generated traffic will have on the
surrounding roadway network and at the noted intersection. It is
noted that at Kaydeross Avenue West, US Route 9 is a five -lane
roadway with two travel lanes in each direction and a center two-way
left -turn median that helps to facilitate left -turn maneuvers in and out
of Kaydeross Avenue West and will also service the additional traffic
generated by the site.
B. Comment No. 12-B — The sharp curve at the east end of the site is
dangerous.
B. Response No. 12-B — The referenced curve to the east of the site is
posted with curve warning signs with 15 mph speed placards and has
chevron arrow signs posted within the curve to warn drivers of the
horizontal curve in the road. There are other curve warning and
intersection warning signs along Kaydeross Avenue West indicating
that in general the roadway is winding in character. The site access
driveway was placed along the western portion of the site to maximize
the spacing between the driveway and the noted sharp curve to the
east.
C. Comment No. 12-C — Traffic volumes on Kaydeross Avenue West
and speed is a problem. It is dangerous for people walking on
Kaydeross Avenue West.
C. Response No. 12-C —Twenty-four hour traffic volumes measured on
Kaydeross Avenue West indicated that it is considered a low volume
roadway by the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) with approximately 330 vehicles
traveling by the project site a day with about 25 vehicles during both
the AM and PM peak hours. Roadway mid -block capacity thresholds
established by the Capital District Transportation Committee (CDTC)
indicate that a two-lane local roadway can accommodate 625 vehicles
in each direction to maintain level of service D operations and 800
vehicles in each direction to maintain level of service E operations.
The existing and future traffic volumes on Kaydeross Avenue West are
significantly less than the CDTC directional capacity thresholds
indicating that good roadway operations and ample roadway capacity
will continue to exist after the development of the site. Kaydeross
Avenue West does not have shoulders so pedestrians do share the
roadway with vehicles; however, as noted the project is a low traffic
generator and there is ample capacity on the roadway to handle the
additional traffic.
D. Comment No. 12-D — A boulevard entry is being proposed since the
developer anticipates traffic and site access will be a problem. A
boulevard entry is also confusing to drivers and is not conducive to the
residential character of the neighborhood.
D. Response No. 12-D — Boulevard entrances are typically proposed to
provide aesthetics to the entrance of a site and are also used to
provide separate entry and exit lanes for sites with a single access
point for emergency access since the separation provided by the
boulevard increases the probability that both travel lanes won't be
blocked in the event of an incident. The statement that a boulevard is
proposed because access to the site is anticipated to be an issue is
incorrect.
E. Comment No. 12-E — Will there be cars backed up on Kaydeross
Avenue West waiting to drop off their pets? Is there sufficient space
on the site for cars to stack while waiting to drop off pets?
E. Response No. 12-E — No, vehicles will not be backed up on
Kaydeross Avenue West waiting to drop off their pets. The site
provides ample parking for patrons to park on the site. As noted, the
peak site operations anticipate 26 trips entering and 26 trips exiting
the site over the hour. The 27 parking spaces proposed for the site
provides adequate parking spaces for employees and patrons to park
while dropping off or picking up pets with additional capacity for
vehicle turnover.
Comment No. 13 — Operational Concerns. What are the hours of operation of the Pet
Resort? How many pets are normally expected to be boarded at any
one time? Is there anyone on site overnight to attend to the pets? If a
problem occurs at night how will anyone know? What will the protocol
be to respond to any nighttime problems if no one is on duty? Will the
project be phased?
Response No. 13 —
Operational Concerns:
Hours of Operation — M -F 7-7, Sat 8-5, Sun 9-4
Staff Hours — M -F 6-9, Sat 7-9, Sun 7-9
After 9 pm there will not be a staff member on site unless there is a
special circumstance requiring a staff member to stay. The industry
standard for both pet boarding facilities and Veterinary offices is not to
have staff present overnight. This being said, the owner and
management staff will have access to cameras throughout the facility
and will be assigned "late night check in duty" whereby the animals are
looked in on to make sure that they are resting comfortably.
In case of emergency, the pet will be brought to their Veterinarian of
record or to one of the 24-hour Veterinary offices in the area.
Project Phasing:
Phase 1 of the project is what Saratoga Pet Resort's Business Plan is
based on and for what funding has been secured. This phase of the
project will be built once all necessary approvals are in place from the
City.
