Response to Chazen Technical Review Comments of March 27, 2020
Dear: Ms. Barden,
The Environmental Design Partnership, LLP (EDP) is in receipt of technical review comments provided by
The Chazen Companies, dated March 27, 2020 and we offer the following responses and final plan set:
Subdivision Plans
8. The grading plan has been modified from what was shown on the site plans last reviewed by our
office, dated May 15, 2019. The locations, sizes, and number of underground infiltration practices
have also been modified. However, an updated SWPPP has not been provided so we can't confirm
that it still meets the NYSDEC SWMDM requirements. Please provide the updated SWPPP
reflecting all the changes noted.
An updated SWPPP has been provided (note that a revised SWPPP was submitted directly to
Chazen by email on March 27, 2020). The following new comments are noted:
a. The WQU inverts in the HydroCAD model appear to be inconsistent with the plans; please
check all inverts for consistency and revise as necessary.
The HydroCAD model and Final Plan Set have been updated for consistency.
b. The applicant has indicated that the SWPPP revisions from the approved version will be
handled as revisions rather than seeking approval on a new SWPPP. The title of the
SWPPP should be revised to "SWPPP Amendment-1". A brief narrative summarizing the
SWPPP modifications and indicating that the accompanying SWPPP, entitled SWPPP
Amendment-1 replaces in its entirety the original SWPPP. The Amended SWPPP must be
maintained with the Site Log Book.
The requested brief narrative summarizing the SWPPP modifications has been
enclosed. The Amended SWPPP will be maintained with the Site Log Book.
c. A hard copy of the final SWPPP Amendment must be submitted to the City for the record.
A copy of the final SWPPP Amendment is enclosed as part of the written portion of
the full SWPPP.
a. Sheet 2-Note#1 states the HOA not responsible for snow/ice removal from multi-use path. Confirm
NYSDOT is in agreement since path lies in their ROW?. Per correspondence with the City(Al Flick)
on March 4, 2020, the City is opposed to making an exception to its code requirements for seasonal
maintenance and long-term repair of the path. The applicant has indicated that Note 1 on Sheet 2
will be removed.
Note 1 on Sheet 2 has been removed.

b. Sheet 2- Landscape median at entrance from Dyer Switch Road calls out mountable curbing.
Provide appropriate detail to construct. The applicant has provided a mountable curb detail. The
detail should be updated for consistency with the City's typical standard curb detail to the extent
possible (e.g., match subbase and subgrade compaction requirements, require 6"subbase under
concrete, etc.).
The detail has been updated for consistency with the City's typical standard curb detail.
d. Sheet 4- The City has agreed to allow storm water management practices to be installed in
Dutchman Way ROW. The HOA will own/maintain these practices. Since street will be publicly
dedicated, easements from the City to the HOA need to be identified on the plan as are sewer and
sidewalk easements. The applicant has indicated a Utility Easement from the City to the HOA and
SCSD#1 on Sheet 4. Notation indicating the extent of this easement should be added to the plans.
Draft easement documents should be submitted to the City for review when available.
The requested notation has been added to the plans.
h. Sheet 12-Detail 1 to specify non-shrink grout instead of mortar at pipe penetrations and beneath
frame. Detail 1 on Sheet 12 has been updated to indicate non-shrink grout at the frame and cover,
but the pipe penetration still indicates mortar. Please revise.
The detail has been updated as requested.
Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have any questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Travis J. Mitchell, P.E.
