NYSPE No: 088297
Introduction:
This Engineering Report has been prepared to accompany an application for a residential 2-lot
subdivision. Information contained herein describes existing and proposed conditions and
generalized information on approximate water usage and wastewater discharges.
The property owner, Colin Klepetar, proposes to subdivide an existing 0.26-acre parcel of land
located at 35 Newton Avenue into two single-family residential lots. All existing structures are
proposed to be removed. Sale and development of the specific parcels will occur at an
undetermined time after subdivision approval and the owner may elect to retain one or both
parcels for their use.
Existing Conditions
The site, 35 Newton Avenue, is located on the West side of Newton Avenue, approximately 107
feet North of the intersection of Newton Avenue and Division Street in the City of Saratoga
Springs, New York. The lot has an existing one-bedroom single-family home and a detached
one-car garage. The garage is accessible via an asphalt driveway on the northern portion of the
property and there is a small asphalt walkway from the driveway to the residence. The
property is a mix of lawn areas, perennial gardens, some smaller trees towards the rear of the
property, shrubs scattered throughout the property, and a large maple tree in the center. The
land descends from the Northeast to the Southwest with a average grade of approximately
3.5%. The project is located within the City of Saratoga Springs Water and Sewer District. Lot 2
currently has connections to both municipal water and sanitary sewer.
Existing Conditions are depicted on the Drawing Titled “S2 – Existing Conditions and Details,
Klepetar Subdivision” prepared by Tompson/Fleming Land Surveyors, PC and dated November
1, 2022 and provided accompanying this Report.
Proposed Use
The parent parcel is proposed to be subdivide into two, approximately equal lots for proposed
single family residential structures. The proposed subdivision and improvements are depicted
on the Drawing Titled “S1 – Subdivision Plan, Klepetar Subdivision” prepared by
2
Klepetar Subdivision
Tompson/Fleming Land Surveyors, PC and dated November 21, 2022 and provided
accompanying this Report.
Development on each lot would be in compliance with the requirements listed in Article 3:
Table 3-A: Residential Districts Dimensional Standards of the City of Saratoga Springs Unified
Development Ordinance combined with the relief granted via the area variance (#20230048)
determined by the Saratoga Springs Zoning Board of Appeals on April 24, 2023.
Sanitary Sewer
The proposed project will be served by individual sewer services connected to the existing
gravity sewer main located along Newton Avenue. Lot 2 has an existing connection that is
anticipated to remain while a new 4” diameter lateral connection is required for Lot 1; this
lateral is proposed to connect directly to the existing main as depicted on Drawing S-1. The
closest sanitary manhole is located on Newton Avenue directly in front of Lot 1 and appears to
convey municipal wastewater discharges to the south.
Sanitary sewage loading for each of the two lots has been estimated at approximately 440
gallons per day per lot , based upon the standard loading rates defined in the “NYSDOH
Wastewater Treatment Standards, Residential Onsite Systems - Appendix 75-A”. Values are
based on an assumed new 4-bedroom residence construction and a loading rate of 110 gallons
pe r day per bedroom.
The net project increase above the existing 1-bedroom residence is approximately 770 gallons
per day.
Water
The proposed project will be served by individual water services connected to the existing
water mains located along Newton Avenue. Lot 2 has an existing connection that will remain
while Lot 1 will be served by a new service connection to the water main along Newton
Avenue.
New water consumption is estimated to be approximately equal to the wastewater flow rates
at 440 gallons per day, per lot and a net increase of 770 gallons per day in total for the
proposed project.
