Wetland Activity Permit - Page2 From: Jan Johnsen, Johnsen Landscapes & Pools Date: 9/25/2025 Re: Brill Property Proposed Swimming Pool , 204 Hessian Hills Road, Croton on Hudson Regarding the Village of Croton-on-Hudson Wetlands Findings Statement, per Village Code 227: 1) Whether the proposed activity is consistent with the findings and intent of this chapter as set forth in §§ 227-1 and 227-2 hereof. Yes, the proposed project is consistent with the findings and intent of 227-1 and 227-2. 2) Whether the proposed activity will have an environmental impact and the extent of that impact. The project proposes the installation of a 36 ft x 18 ft rectangular in-ground pool. It does not require the removal of any trees. The pool area is at the same relative level as the lowest floor of the house - to create level area we will install low stone walls to retain both the upper hillside and lower hillside. We will use the soil that is generated from cutting into the slope to fill in the lower area (cut and fill). This plan is similar to the one that was approved by the Wetlands Commission 19 years ago. But this plan has a smaller pool and less hard surfacing than the one originally approved. It is a smaller footprint overall. 3) Whether there are possible or practicable alternatives to the proposed activity. There is no other alternative swimming pool site on the 1.21 acre property that is viable. The proposed pool is within the side and rear yard setback requirements. 4) Whether the proposed activity will have a deleterious effect on the health, safety or welfare of the residents of the Village or its neighboring communities. No, there is no deleterious effect on the health, safety or welfare of the residents of the 5) Whether the proposed activity will have adequate safeguards for the protection and preservation of the environment and the wetlands, and for the natural functions of and benefits derived from such areas. No wetlands are located in the project area. Safeguards for work include erosion and sediment controls such as silt fence and it will also have construction fence denoting the limit of the work area. We will make sure the construction activities will abide by all environmental and contract documents. 6) Whether the proposed activity will have adequate safeguards employing the best available technology to protect the surface water and groundwater supplies of the Village from drought, pollution, overuse and other forms of misuse. Yes, safeguards include erosion and sediment controls such as silt fence. It will also have infiltrator chambers (Cultec) to manage runoff through subsurface infiltration. 7) Whether the proposed activity has been planned or designed so as to create minimal disturbance; to prevent or mitigate damage from erosion, turbidity or siltation; to preserve the natural flora and fauna and their habitat; to protect against flood and pollution of the wetlands; and to protect any other benefits of wetlands as enumerated in 8§ 227-1 and 227-2 hereof; and is the best practicable alternative available for accomplishing the proposed action. Yes, the proposed project is designed to minimize clearing to the maximum extent practicable. Erosion and sediment controls will be in place prior to any ground disturbance. 8) Whether there is a practicable alternative site for the proposed activity in another area of the subject property that is not a wetland. Impacts to wetlands are not proposed. There is no practicable alternative site.
