RE: City of Saratoga Springs-Subdivision Application Review for the 118 Jefferson Street
Subdivision Project
Dear Mr. Veitch:
The LA Group is in receipt of comments from the Chazen Companies, dated December 26th, 2019. The
following are responses to the comments. The revised SEQR form, the SHPO "no effect" documentation, and
the Complete Streets Checklist were previously resubmitted on January 8th, 2020 to the City. The revised
plans are included with this submission.
GENERAL
Comment 1: The City's project number of 19.1038 should be added to all site plan application and
construction documents.
Response 1: The City's project number has been added.
FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM (FEAF)
Comment 2: Please respond to the following items which were left blank: D.1.d.iv; D.1.f.; D.2.c.iv.; D.2.n.i.;
D.2.n.ii; and E.2.m.
Response 2: The SEQR form has been updated to include responses to these items and was
resubmitted on January 8th, 2020.
Comment 3: The applicant identified that the project is located in or adjacent to an archaeologically
sensitive area based on the SHPO archaeological site inventory, and that response from
SHPO is pending. The response should be submitted to the City when available.
Response 3: A "no effect" letter from SHPO has been received and was resubmitted on January 8th
2020.
COMPLETE STREETS CHECKLIST
Comment 4: The Complete Street Checklist indicates that striped crosswalks are proposed for the project;
however, none are shown on the drawings. Please clarify.
Response 4: Striped crosswalks are not proposed for the project. The Complete Street Checklist
has been updated and was resubmitted on January 8th, 2020.
SUBDIVISION PLANS
Comment 5: The original signed and sealed survey must be submitted.
Response 5: A signed and seal survey will be included with the final mylars.
Comment 6: The final subdivision plat must be signed/sealed by the licensed land surveyor.
Response 6: A signed and sealed final subdivision plat will be included with the final mylars.
Comment 7: Please label on the subdivision plat the minimum permeable area required as well as the
maximum impermeable area allowed for each lot.
Response 7: The minimum percent of lot to be permeable (25%) is shown in the UR-2 Area
Requirements table on the subdivision plat. The maximum impermeable area is the
remainder(75%).
Comment 8: The name and address of the property owner(Robert Porter, according to Subdivision
Application) should be added to the title block of the drawings.
Response 8: The title block has not been modified to reflect that Robert Porter is the current owner,
because once the project receives planning board approval it will be owned by
Bonacio Construction, LLC, and will therefore be filed with the county under their
ownership.
Comment 9: Sheet L-1.0 shows fence removals which are outside the limit of disturbance. The limit of
disturbance should be updated to include this area.
Response 9: The plans have been revised to show this section of fence to remain, so the limit of
disturbance was not be modified.
Comment 10: Based on a review of google aerial photos and street view it appears as if there is more
vegetation that will need to be cleared along the southern boundary of Lot 2. The limit of
disturbance should be updated to include this area.
Response 10: The limits of vegetation were taken from the most recent survey plan of the site (dated
9/5/2019). If vegetation is outside the limit of disturbance, then it is outside the
disturbed area and will remain on site.
Comment 11: In accordance with City subdivision requirements (City Code Chapter 241, Appendix H —
General Requirements and Subdivision Design Standards, Section 2-G), curbs and sidewalks
are required on both sides of all local urban and urban streets. The applicant proposes
sidewalks where the project border Jefferson Street, but does not propose sidewalks where
the project borders Steele and Madison Streets. Please identify how the code requirement
will be met.
Response 11: Per discussions with the Planning Board and the DPW there will be a sidewalk on
Jefferson Street and Madison Street.
Comment 12: In accordance with City subdivision requirements (City Code Chapter 241, Appendix H —
General Requirements and Subdivision Design Standards, Section 2-R), all applicants for
proposed subdivisions are to offer the City 10% Class A Type Usable Land, or an acceptable
alternative defined in the City Code. The plans do not indicate any land that has been offered
to the City. Please identify how the code requirement will be met.
Response 12: Per discussions with the Planning Board the applicant will pay a rec fee as an
acceptable alternative.
Comment 13: In accordance with City subdivision requirements (City Code Chapter 241, Appendix H —
General Requirements and Subdivision Design Standards, Section 2-H), a stormwater
management report shall be prepared and submitted to the board for all subdivisions. A
stormwater management report was not received with this submission. Please provide.
Response 13: Per discussions with the DPW a stormwater report is not required.
Comment 14: Additional grading will be required to adequately define the proposed drainage patterns for
the site and assure that stormwater runoff will not adversely affect adjoining property owners.
Response 14: Additional grading has been provided on sheet L-3.0 of the plans.
Comment 15: In addition to the proposed first floor elevations, the proposed garage floor elevations should
be identified to clearly show the driveways properly draining toward the street.
Response 15: A garage floor elevation has been provided on sheet L-3.0 of the plans.
Comment 16: If the buildings have not yet been designed, a typical building footprint should be shown on
the grading plan and contours showing the general grades should be added. Once the
buildings are designed, detailed grading plans for each lot should be submitted to the building
department with the building permit application so that conformance with the general grading
plan can be confirmed.
Response 16: A typical building footprint has been provided on sheet L-3.0 of the plans.
Comment 17: If any of the changes noted above result in the increase in the area of disturbance such that it
exceeds 1.0 acre, please submit a Basic SWPPP in accordance with the City's stormwater
regulations.
Response 17: The disturbance is under 1 acre.
Comment 18: In accordance with City subdivision requirements (City Code Chapter 241, Appendix H —
General Requirements and Subdivision Design Standards, Section 2-N), street lighting at
urban or local urban streets is required at all intersections and staggered on opposite sides of
the street at 150' intervals.
a. There appears to be existing cobra head streetlights mounted to the utility poles at
the intersection of Steele Street and Madison Street as well as one on the pole in
front of Lot 5 on Madison Street. Please identify if the existing streetlights are to be
removed. If not, we recommend that the location of the proposed decorative lights be
adjusted to take into consideration light fixtures to remain.
b. Also, please confirm that there is adequate clearance between proposed light
poles and existing overhead lines.
Response 18: a. No existing streetlights are planned to be removed. The site lighting has been
revised to switch the location of the street tree and proposed decorative light in front
of Lot 3. This also satisfies a comment provided by City staff.
b. Sheet L-3.0 shows the existing overhead electric and electric poles. The proposed
lighting is not in line with these utilities and therefore it is not anticipated that they will
interfere with one another.
Sincerely,
Douglas B. Heller, PE, ASCE
