The Zoning Board reviewed the application and has forwarded the project to the Planning Board as lead agency on SEQRA review and to provide an advisory opinion on the area variance request. 2)Thompson-Fleming Land Surveyors completed the existing conditions survey on October 19, 2017. The subdivision map is updated to reflect the accurate information provided on the up-to-date survey. 3)We have held meetings with City staff and neighbors to review the project and have made the following modifications to the project: a) Each street front has two front-facing residences, evenly distributing the proposed residences in the neighborhood. b) Each residence is provided with a driveway turn-around so that residents can enter the street in a forward-facing manner. c)The residences on Lot#3 and Lot#4 have their garages facing the existing neighbors to provide additional privacy for outdoor entertaining. d)All garages are setback from the front fa�ade of the house and large front porches are proposed. e)An easement will be provided to the City along Grand Avenue so that new homeowners are aware of the City's 55'wide right-of-way. f)A landscape plan has been developed with Brookside Nursery for both project plantings and Neighborhood Entry Landscaping. -The existing Norway Spruce that are prevalent on the property are non-native species (indigenous to Europe). They are out of alignment with the streetscape and in poor health, impacting the construction of the sidewalks as well as the safety of residents using those sidewalks. Their hap-hazard placement does not provide a suitable landscape entry to the neighborhood. Brookside Nursery is proposing that the existing trees be removed (45 trees total) and 49 new, native species that comply with the Sustainable Saratoga guidelines be planted in accordance with the City of Saratoga Springs guidelines. -The Entry Landscape will consist of a layered Red Cedar on the inward side, decorated with Christom Arrowwood Viburnum shrubs and Walker's Low Catmint perennials for both color and texture. These plantings will all be set in raised mulch beds, following the contours of the finished sidewalks. 4)We have prepared the Full Environmental Assessment Form and are including the soils report and SHPO request letter and results letter with the Form.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers,foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation,waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. • The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses.The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area .. planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/ portal/nres/main/soils/health/)and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist(http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/? cid=nres142p2_053951). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields.A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service(NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas.A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant sails. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properkies similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each.A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, 8 Custom Soil Resource Report onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous _ areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series.The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example,Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas.Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform.An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example. 9 Custom Soil Resource Report Saratoga County, New York WnA—Windsor loamy sand, 0 to 3 percent slopes Map Unit Setting National map unit symbol: 2svkg Elevation: 0 to 990 feet Mean annual precipitation: 36 to 71 inches Mean annual ai�temperature: 39 to 55 degrees F Frost-free period: 140 to 240 days Farmland classification: Farmland of statewide importance Map Unit Composition Windsor, loamy sand, and similar soils: 85 percent Minor components: 15 percent Estimates are based on obsen�ations, descriptions, and transects of the mapunit.

Therefore, the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) recommends that a Phase I archaeological survey is warranted for all portions of the project that will involve ground disturbance, unless substantial prior ground disturbance can be documented. If you consider the entire project area to be disturbed, documentation of the disturbance will need to be reviewed by OPRHP. Examples of disturbance include mining activities and multiple episodes of building construction and demolition. Documentation of ground disturbance should include a description of the disturbance with confirming evidence. Confirmation can include current photographs and/or older photographs of the project area which illustrate the disturbance (approximately keyed to a project area map), past maps or site plans that accurately record previous disturbances, or current soil borings that verify past disruptions to the land. Agricultural activity is not considered to be substantial ground disturbance. Please nate that in areas with alluvial soils or fill archaeological deposits may exist below the depth of superficial disturbances such as pavement or even deeper disturbances, depending on the thickness of the alluvium or fill. Evaluation of the possible impact of prior disturbance on archaeological sites must consider the depth of potentially culture-bearing deposits and the depth of planned disturbance by the proposed project. A Phase I survey is designed to determine the presence or absence of archaeological sites or other cultural resources in the project's area of potential effect. The OPRHP can provide standards for conducting cultural resource investigations upon request. Cultural resource surveys and survey reports that meet these standards will be accepted and approved by the OPRHP. Our office does not conduct cultural resources surveys. A 36 CFR 61 qualified archaeologist should be retained to conduct the Phase I survey. Many archaeological consulting firms advertise their availability in the yellow pages. The services of qualified archaeologists can also be obtained by contacting local, regional, or statewide professional archaeological organizations. Phase I surveys can be expected to vary in cost per mile of right-of-way or by the number of acres impacted. We encourage you to contact a number of consulting firms and compare examples of each firm's work to obtain the best product. Please also be aware that a Section 233 permit from the New York State Education Department(SED) may be necessary before archaeological fieldwork is conducted on State-owned land. If any portion of the praject includes the lands of New York State you should contact the SED before initiating survey activities. The SED contact is Christina B. Rieth and she can be reached at(518)402-5975. Section 233 permits are not required for projects on private land. If you have any questions concerning archaeology, please contact Daniel Bagrow at 518-268-2160 or dan.bagrow@parks.ny.gov Division for Historic Preservation P.O Box 189,Waterford,New York 12188-0189•(518)237-8643•www.nysparks.com �Ew'�� P�rks R�cre�tia►n ST,ATE flF ! r a�PORrur�i�r�: c��lt� �IStCI�CIC �!"E�'SE.'�"`1l''��1Ot1 ANDREW M.CUOMO ROSE HARVEY Governor Commissioner December 12, 2017 Mr. Robert Fraser Environmental Scientist The LA Group, P.C. 40 Long Alley Saratoga Springs , NY 12866' Re: DEC 2 Glenmore Avenue Subdivision 2 Glenmore Ave, Saratoga Springs , NY 12866 17PR07315 Dear Mr. Fraser: Thank you for requesting the comments of the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP).
