ACCURSO YES MR. AGATSTON YES MR. GRZAN YES MRS. SCHOEN YES CHAIRMAN ZUCKERMAN YES MOTION APPROVED (5-0) Chairman Zuckerman noted that the Board ad conducted a site visa and while the applicant has corrected many of the items lis ed in FP Clark's memo, there are still issues that need to be addressed. I& Mr. Michael Finan, Architect for the applicant, addressed the Board and gave a brief overview of the project including the basic scope of the project, the storm water management and landscaping plans. Chairman Zuckerman asked Mr. Finan if the plans in front of the Board are the most current, to which he responded yes. Mrs. Timpone-Mohamed, Village Planning Consultant, addressed the Board, responding to Mr. Finan in regard to the requirement under the Village tree law to replace the one tree being removed. Although the applicant would be providing more trees than the one replacement, only two of the trees proposed would comply with the tree replacement size and species requirements. She has ncern about the distance between the property line and the new parking/turnaround a ea and is not sure there would be enough space to put any type of shrub that would not encroach on the driveway and turnaround area. The shrubs provided would need to be those that can be sheared as a hedge; or one that would be tall and narrow at maturity, which may not be an easy task. Chairman Zuckerm n suggested that Mrs. Timpone-Mohamed meet with Mr. Finan to discuss the landscape issues. Mrs. Timpone-Mohamed also noted that the overall dimensions of the decks should be added to the site plan and that the Board should consider if the proposed plantings that are being shown along Ridge Street and Berkley Drive are sufficient to screen the home and additions that are proposed. 3 of 6 February 11, 2010 Planning Board Minutes DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Nowak, Acting Village Engineer, addressed the Board and discussed storm water management, noting that the plan proposes to capture 2000 square feet of impervious surface. The proposed plan adds 930 square feet of impervious surface with the additions and the deck. The system will capture the existing structure completely as well as the additional impervious surface related to the driveway. Mr. Grzan has a concern about the additional water run off from t e property as there is a total of over 4000 square feet of impervious surface. Mr. Nowak responded that the Village Code states that anything over 400 square feet would require storm water management. Mr. Grzan's concern is the additional free flowing water and where it is going to go. Mr. Finan explained that the current surface discharging leaders are now being picked up as well as the new portion of the driveway In addition, the downspoutVan f the entire house will now be diverted into the underground detention system. Mr. and Mr. Accurso do not believe the plan sho that. Chairman Zuckerman believes that certain members of the Board would like to see all the run off completely captured. The Chairman also made note that there is currently no runoff problem in regard to adjacent properties. There was further discussion be een Mr. A urso, Mr. Grzan and Mr. Finan regarding the cultic system aid the swale. Chairman Zuckerman suggested that Mr. ak look at the engineering questions that have been raised and whether or not the plans show what they are allegedly supposed to show, whether the numbers are accurate, and that we are certain of the facts regarding the issues raised here tonight Mr. Grzan did not want t ply that this property is the sole contributor of the water problems experienc d in is Village but it behooves this board to make sure we are doing what is reaso slow down the runoff coming off this property. Mr. Finan respond d that they have proposed a plan that does twice what they are required and if they were to address the swale as suggested, it would require land disturbance and he believes picking up the entire home and the additional impervious surface is more than adequate. 4 of 6 February 11, 2010 Planning Board Minutes DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Agatston added that he does not believe we should single this applicant out, but commend them for making the changes requested and capturing more water than they are required to capture. Mrs. Schoen agrees with Mr. Accurso and Mr. Grzan, but believes that the best way to address this issue is through the Village Board and through changes in the code. This application, however, has gone above and beyond and should not be penalized for the flooding issues throughout the Village.
