ENGINEERING REPORT:
INTRODUCTION:

land planning and site/civil engineering services in connection with the subdivision
application for # 16 Marion Ave. at the corner of Marion Ave. & Avenue A in the City of
Saratoga Springs, Tax Map # 153.17-1-8.

requirements listed on the City of Saratoga’s Preliminary/Final Subdivision Approval
Required Submittal Checklist. This report is intended to fulfill items 4 & 6 of the

DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED SITE DEVELOPMENT & USE:
The site, #16 Marion Ave. is located at the North West intersection of Marion Ave (aka
NYS Rte. 9) and Avenue A in Saratoga Springs New York. The 14,580 sq.ft. lot
currently has two existing structures with (3) total dwelling units. An existing (2) family
dwelling is accessed via paved driveway from Avenue A. An existing (1) family
dwelling is accessed via gravel driveway from Marion Ave. The lot area is nearly level
across the property. The property is mostly grassy with lawn and a few larger mature
trees along both street frontages.
2
The proposed subdivision of this parcel would result in dividing the single lot into two
lots. The existing (2) family dwelling located on Avenue A would be located on a 6,970
sq.ft lot (designated as Lot 1 on the map). The existing driveway access off of Avenue
A would remain unchanged. The existing electrical utility connection overhead from a
utility pole on the South side of Avenue A remains unchanged.
The new lot (designated as Lot 2 on the map), will be created at the corner of Marion Ave.
& Avenue. The existing (1) family dwelling located at the East of the existing property will
remain but be modified. The one story portion of this existing structure and exterior
stairway will be demolished to allow for the new interior lot line created. The new Lot 2 is
proposed to be 7,609 sq.ft. in area.
Zoning Variances were granted by the City of Saratoga Zoning Board of Appeals on June
10, 2024 (ZBA #20240196) as follows:
- Lot #1: Front Setback – 10’ req./ 3.7’ proposed / 6.3’ variance (63% relief) granted
- Lot #2: Rear Setback – 25’ req. / 3.7’ proposed / 21.3’ variance (85.2%) relief

the resulting Lot #1. There are (2) bedrooms within the existing single-family dwelling
which will be on the resulting Lot #2. Using a standard demand of 110 gallons per capita
day (gpcd) the existing properties can be estimated to have an annual water consumption
usage of 160,600 gallons. As the residences are proposed to remain, there is no assumed
increase of the water usage. In addition, each structure has it’s own water connection to
a water main within Avenue A. The are no proposed modifications to the existing lines
or existing connections.

the resulting Lot #1. There are (2) bedrooms within the existing single-family dwelling

day (gpcd) the existing properties can be estimated to have an annual sanitary sewer load
of approximately 160,600 gallons.

Avenue A. As the residences are proposed to remain, there is no assumed increase of
the overall sanitary sewer load. There are also no modifications proposed to the existing
sewer lines or sewer connections.
STORMWATER & BASIC SWPPP / EROSION CONTROL
SOIL CONDITIONS:
The project site (in location of the proposed current residences is relatively flat. Soils on
this site are WnB (Windsor B) according to Saratoga County Soil surveys. the depth to
any restrictive feature in this soil type is typically greater than 60”. The soil is classified
as very deep, excessively drained, rapid permeability, slow surface runoff and slight
erosion hazard.
SEDIMENT & EROSION CONTROL:
A sediment and erosion control plan has been developed in order to specify minimum
controls and measures to reduce sediment runoff during construction.
- Construction Entrance: One construction entrance has been specified to
accommodate the new driveway off of Avenue A to the proposed existing
residence on the new Lot #2.
- Topsoil: A potential topsoil storage area for grading backfill will be identified
(possibly located at the North East corner of the new lot #2) and will be surrounded
by silt fencing. In general, excavation is proposed to be limited to the site
modifications as relative to the demolition of the existing one story portion of
structure on Lot #2. Excavations following demolition is anticipated to be
limited to grading and seeding of a new lawn area. All demolition materials
shall be removed from the site & not buried. No soil is proposed to be
removed from the site.
- Concrete Wash: A Concrete washout location has been proposed at the Eastern
portion of the new Lot #2 towards Marion Ave. Concrete washout details and
instructions are include on page S-4 of the subdivision development plans.
- Sediment Control: Less than 0.06 acres are anticipated to be disturbed during
demolition of the existing portion of building and construction of the new
driveway on Lot #2. Silt fencing has been specified around the perimeter of the
new lot project area to reduce off site erosion migration.
