North Ridge Street Development
Rye Brook, NY
Dear Michael,
Anthony Zaino, Assistant Commissioner of the Westchester County Planning Department, in an
email dated October 23, 2018 that stated you need additional materials from our office.
As requested in that email, enclosed please find the following additional materials in digital format:
1. Short Environmental Assessment Form for North Ridge Street Development dated April 11,
2018,
2. North Ridge Street Development Stormwater Report dated April 12, 2018,
3. Preliminary Subdivision Plat dated April 10, 2018,
4. 259 North Ridge Street Tree Inventory and Planting Plan dated April 8, 2018 by Anthony
Zaino, LA.
Comment: Cover letter stating this application is a continuation of the original submittal and is a
revised plan in response to Village Planning Board and public comments, and this
application is to request the rezoning of lot #1 to FAH.
Response: The above materials #1-4, are in addition to other materials already submitted
and is a continuation of the original application which has been revised in
response to the Village Planning Board and public comments. The applicant is
requesting a rezoning of Lot #1 to Fair and Affordable Housing (FAH).
Because of the comments of the Village Planning Board and the public, the
scope of the application is significantly reduced. The project originally
proposed eight (8) units of affordable housing which is now reduced to four (4)
units in two (2) two-family houses. This reduction in scope greatly reduces
traffic from the original development.
Comment: Revise EAF to reflect new plan
Response: The Short Environmental Assessment Form, included herein, for North Ridge
Street Development dated April 11, 2018 reflects the current proposal.

Comment: Electronic version of the preliminary plat
Response: The Preliminary Subdivision Plat dated April 10, 2018 is provided herewith.
Comment: Stormwater calculations
Response: The North Ridge Street Development Stormwater Report dated April 12, 2018
provided herewith and contains all calculations. In addition, the plans show
the appropriate storm water computations.
Comment: Revised traffic analysis, or letter stating the revised plan will have a lower impact on
traffic.
Response: The reduction in the scope reduces traffic from the original proposal. The
Traffic Assessment dated May 4, 2016 was based upon eight (8) units of
affordable housing. The current proposal is four (4) units of affordable
housing basically halving predicted traffic to 3 and 4 trips in the AM and PM
peak hour. (See Attached Worksheet)
Comment: Analysis of school aged children
Response: With the smaller scope of the project, there will be less school aged children
than the original proposal. Using the same multipliers used by the consultants
in earlier reports, we estimate 2 school aged children would be generated from
the 4 affordable housing units and 1 students from the existing single family
home, and 1 student from the new single family home, for a total of 4 students.
Comment: Tree inventory and Landscape plan (attached)
Response: The tree inventory and Planting Plan dated April 8, 2018 are attached herein,
identified as item #4 in the list of materials in this submission.
This submission is in addition to earlier materials submitted to the Village and is a continuation of
the original application which has been revised in response to the Village Planning Board and public
comments.
Please call if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Ralph G. Mastromonaco, PE

PROJECT: NORTH RIDGE STREET DEVELOPMENT
Subdivision and Site Plan for Affordable Housing
SCOPE: STORMWATER REPORT
DATE: April 12, 2018
INTRODUCTION:
The 3.96 acre site is proposed for development of one new single family home and 4 affordable
townhomes and a single family home. As the total disturbance is under 1 acre the project does
not require NYS DEC post-construction stormwater treatment, however, treatment by infiltration
is proved to enhance environmental conditions in the area.
Figure: Site Location and Zoning
2 North Ridge Street Stormwater Report RGM PE PC
METHODOLOGY:
The Rye Brook Stormwater rules call for the capture of the 25 year storm over the impervious
areas. To effectuate that requirement we modeled the approximately 11,648 square feet of
impervious area (CN=100) as tributary to the infiltration basin which also provides stormwater
detention.
For the new Single Family Home we modeled approximately 5050 square feet of impervious
area and captured the 25 year storm.
In each case the storage system captured the 25 year storm runoff such that there was
no overflow. The printout of the computer model is attached.

storm) and the 24 hour duration storm.

dictate minor changes to this stormwater system.

Table: Rainfall Values; 24 Hour – 25 year Storm Used
MAINTENANCE:
All stormwater systems shall be inspected annually. In the event that silt buildup of more than 1
foot is noted in any system, the system shall be cleaned and returned to original design
conditions.
NOTES:
This project is below the threshold where it would require post-construction treatment as
required by the Village of Rye Brook, the NYS DEC and the NYS General Permit for
Stormwater. However, we have included post construction treatment to fully mitigate any
environmental impacts. Infiltration rates were taken in the field and lower values in this report
as a conservative approach.
Since the project is less than 1 acre a NYSDEC Notice of Intent is not required.
CONCLUSION:
The hydrologic details of the proposed storm water system are indicated in the enclosed
Hydrocad printout. Further detail is shown on the Site Plans for the project. The proposed
infiltration treatment system and the proposed storm detention system will mitigate the impacts
of the development as to quality and quantity of storm water.
