DOTS Engineering Review 3,29.2023.d
Dan,
lam attaching the most recent correspondence items.
e Site Design responded in Sept. 2023 indicating they feel the plans are complete. t have
informed them they are not, since there are multiple open items.
e The Applicant has not addressed the Town’s Steep Slope and Tree Ordinance. There response
is they are removing 246 trees between the two municipalities and do not believe any
replanting will be necessary. That is not how our Code is written and they must adjust and
provide some sort of mitigation based on type of tree removed adjusted for whether it is
removed on a defined steep slope.
i'd say they are about 75% of the way there for site approval.

Joe,
Good afternoon. Kindly advise as to the status of this application. Comment was provided in
OpenGov in late September, however the Town’s 3/29/2023 comment letter has not been
addressed in totality. Please see attached.
Also, kindly provide update as to the status of Croton’s approval for the house. Keep in mind the
house is remote and is off an extension of a private roadway and is not serviced by potable water.
| recommend a group meeting to finalize this application.
Best,
Michael

Matt,
You will need to file a building permit application for the proposed residence which will cover the
site construction and activities in the Town of Cortlandt.
Regarding the Town of Cortlandt’s requirements:
1. Steep Slope Findings Statement will be required (Chapter 259 of Town Code).
2. Coverage under the SPDES General Permit for Construction Activities may be required
depending on total area of land disturbance (e.g. 5,000 sf in East of Hudson / 1 acre
otherwise).
3. Tree removal and reforestation plan will be required (Chapter 283 of Town Code).
a. The Town has on-call consultants that will tag and inventory all trees within the
proposed limits of disturbance. Applicant shall bear the cost of proposed
improvements.
4. Comprehensive site plan prior to any disturbance.
5. Compliance with fire apparatus access road (NYS Building Code). Pull-out and turnarounds
may be required. The house will also most likely need to be sprinkled.
6. A driveway profile, stationed in intervals of 100-ft with spot elevations provided every 25-ft
will be required.
a. Maximum grade shall be kept to 10%. For short stretches consideration may be given
to increase the grade beyond.
b. Changes to grade shall be kept to 6% unless sufficient vertical curvature can be
provided.
c. Driveway platforms (entrance and at garage) should be kept to less than 5% to
accommodate vehicles.
Your initial email indicates 1 acre of disturbance to construct the driveway which is quite
considerable for a single family home.
The requirements above will need to be addressed by a licensed professional engineer.
| recommend having a joint review with the Village of Croton which will be responsible for the
review of the house itself and any work in the Village side.
To keep things moving smoothly, | recommend submitting documents to both parties so that we are
all kept in the loop.
Be advised that the house is not located near potable water and is remote.

Matt,
Good to hear from you. This case does not involve the Planning Board so | will not be involved. You
will need to work with the Code and Engineering Depts. (Mike and Martin cc'd on this e-mail) for all
of the required permits for the driveway and the required environmental permits, (slopes, trees,
etc.) for any work proposed within the Town. Also, as | am sure you are aware, you will need to deal
with the Village of Croton-on-Hudson Engineering Office for the building permit to construct the
house as it is proposed to be within the Village.

Hi Chris
| hope all is well with you. If you recall you assisted me in 2021 with the variance for my home
renovation at 300 mount airy road west, In croton. |am emailing you with an unrelated subject...
I’m reaching out today in regards to the proposed development of the Hannigan property at the
end of upland lane in croton. | have been the families’ carpenter for many years and | will be very
involved with the building of their new home. | know that you have been helping joe riina, engineer,
with the planning stages and approvals of the site work. | felt like it was a good time to for myself to
get involved, as | will be overseeing the project once we “ break ground”. | am just trying to bring
myself up to speed and understand where | could be of help at all. | was the original person who met
with save a tree when they identified all the trees. | will be working closely with WD excavation, who
we will be using to do the tree removal and all of the site work. We do realize that replanting certain
areas is required and we intend to meet all requirements to achieve that. I’d love to have a
conversation with you just so we can provide proper documentation on our end to satisfy permitting
of the site work. Maybe we can discuss this week. I’d be happy to stop in at some point Thanks for
your time
