Village of Rye Brook Board of Trustees
FROM: Anthony Oliveri, P.E.
SUBJECT: 900 King Street Redevelopment
preliminary Final Environmental Impact Statement (pFEIS)
PUD Concept Plan and Preliminary Site Plan
DATE: February 3, 2020
With regard to the above mentioned project, this office has received and reviewed the
following:
1. 900 King Street Redevelopment, preliminary Final Environmental Impact
Statement (pFEIS), and appendices dated January 3, 2020 and prepared by
AKRF, Inc.
2. Plan entitled: "PUD Concept Plan and Preliminary Site Plans, 900 King Street
Redevelopment", prepared by JMC, last dated December 13, 2019;
Our comments with regard to the pFEIS are as follow:
1.) As noted in our June 14, 2019 memo, the previous response regarding the water
system notes certain planned upgrades to be performed by Suez. Therefore, it is
critical that the changes to the Suez system be made conditional to any
approvals and the proper means to enforce these conditions and substantiate
their implementation be considered.
2.) As noted in our June 14, 2019 memo, the applicant has adjusted expected
sewage flows from the project in accordance with the reductions proposed. As a
result, the net increase to sewage flows is now calculated to be 27,757 gpd. This
will result in required Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) removal of 83,271 gpd. The
pFEIS states that the applicant proposes to meet this by monetary contribution to
the Village’s existing I&I program. This monetary amount should be established
by the applicant in conjunction with the Village and its consultant’s prior to final
approval and noted in the FEIS. This is in accordance with the Westchester
900 King Street pFEIS

County Departments of Planning and Environmental Facilities recommendations
and should be made a condition of any future site plan approval as well.
3.) Construction phasing and associate staged disturbance areas have been
reduced and further sequenced; however, still requiring a NYSDEC waiver for
disturbance areas in excess of 5 acres at one time. Since the demolition of the
building has not been segmented from the project, no further sequencing or
staging revisions are required. A final review of the construction phases and
Sediment & Erosion Controls will be conducted during final site plan review..
4.) Revisions made to the plan on sheets, C-500 and C-520 regarding the sanitary
sewer and house services is acceptable.
5.) We note that a review of the final Site Plan and Stormwater Pollution and
Prevention Plan will be conducted during final site plan review.
