4. The driveway must be designed in accordance with the 2020 Fire Code of NYS, specifically Ch. 511 –
Emergency Vehicle Access. Turnarounds will need to be provided. The house will also most likely require
a sprinkler system.
5. Provide overall limits of disturbance in square feet and acres. Prepare a SWPPP in accordance with the
SPDES General Permit for Construction activities and Town Code Chapter 262 – Stormwater Management.
Verify the property is not in a protected water shed.
At minimum, storm water controls (quality only 1.5”) shall be provided for new impervious areas, unless
quantity controls are required by the SPDES General permit. Quantity controls shall be for a 100-year
storm. Show location of proposed improvements on the revised site plan. Provide details of the same.
Footing / foundation drains shall be directed to daylight and not the infiltration system.
Provide details of the infiltrator row. You may need a structure or manhole for inspection and to control
inflow. The rim appears to be set at 470 while the bottom of the infiltrators are set at 462 which is 8-ft
below grade.
Add the following note:
a. Infiltration best practices shall be designed in accordance with NYSDEC’s Storm Water Design
Manual. Deep test pits and percolation tests shall be performed by the Design Professional and
witnessed by the Town. For infiltration practices, test pits shall be dug 3-ft below the propose
infiltration level.
b. Prior to backfilling any storm water best practice, contact DOTS – Engineering to schedule an
inspection.
c. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, a certification from the licensed design
professional that all storm water best management practices were installed in substantial

6. A tree removal and reforestation plan has not been provided. Trees >4” DBH must be inventoried by an
approved Town Consultant. The plans must then indicate which trees are proposed for removal. Any tree
removed on a slope more than 25% requires 2:1 replacement. Replacement is than 1 tree per 1000 square
feet of disturbance.
a. All planted trees must be at minimum 2-3” caliper or 6-8 ft in height if coniferous.
b. Three low maturing trees or arborvitaes will be considered equivalent to one tree.
c. 10 shrubs or foundations plants will be considered equivalent to one tree.
d. Plans shall at the maximum extent possible show replanting onsite. Reforestation plans shall try
to replace the same type of trees removed and shall not proposed a monoculture of plantings.
Does the site fall within an environmentally protected area for endangered and threatened species, e.g.
the northern long-eared bat? Refer to NYSDEC guidelines.
A proposal from a Town approved consultant will be obtained. All costs borne shall be paid for by the
Applicant.
