Village of Cayuga Heights 836 Hanshaw Road Ithaca, NY 14850 Re: Kendal at Ithaca Meadow Grading Dear Brent: Attached please find drawings and information regarding the placing and grading of spoils in the meadow at Kendal of Ithaca. As you know, our site plan approval included locating approximately 16,000 cubic yards of excavated fill in the meadow. Excavation activities over the past months indicate that additional soil material will require removal from the site. We have revised the grading plans for the meadow to include an additional 5,000 cubic yards of fill. As you can see from the diagrams included (L309), within the scale of the meadow, the visual impacts to this added material are minimal. In addition, the revised grades will not adversely impact the neighborhood watershed or current SWPPP (please see attached letter from T.G. Miller, P.C.). We would like to attend the Planning Board meeting on April 27th to review the drawings and discuss this issue. We would request approval on the 27th to locate the additional soil material in the meadow. Thank you, Kimberly Michaels Principal 203 N.

Ripic, Jr., L.S.     April 20, 2015    Mr. Brent Cross, P.E.  Village of Cayuga Heights  836 Hanshaw Road  Ithaca, New York 14850    Re: Kendal at Ithaca  Modified Meadow Grading    Dear Mr. Cross,    On behalf of Kendal at Ithaca and in support of the Site Plan Review application for the Modified  Meadow Grading we are submitting to the Village the following comments for consideration at  the April 27, 2015 Planning Board meeting.    The new grading plan accommodates 5,000 cubic yards of surplus soil within the meadow area  in addition to the roughly 16,000 cubic yards previously approved. The increase in elevation at  the highest point of the meadow will be 2 feet above the prior approved plan.     This additional grading activity does not alter the neighboring watershed boundaries and the  increased elevation of the meadow has a negligible effect on the hydrology. Temporary erosion  and sediment control measures already in place for the current meadow grading are still  applicable and will be maintained until the disturbed soil is fully vegetated.    In conjunction with the meadow grading Kendal is also proposing to improve an existing swale  located at the south edge of the meadow. This existing swale, which runs parallel to the  property line of the Spruce Lane neighbors, has a shallow cross‐section and is choked with  vegetation. Kendal will be re‐shaping the swale cross‐section and lowering the invert to enhance  drainage in the area and ensure that runoff captured from the meadow is conveyed to the  existing downstream stormwater management practice.    Feel free to contact me with any questions.    Respectfully,      David A. Herrick, P.E.    Cc: S. Bailey, Kendal L E G E N D E X I S T I N G C O N T O U R P R O P O S E D M A J O R C O N T O U R P R O P O S E D S P O T E L E V A T I O N + 8 4 6 . 0 0 B C = B O T T O M O F C U R B T C = T O P O F C U R B E X I S T I N G S P O T E L E V A T I O N B S = B O T T O M O F S T A I R T S = T O P O F S T A I R P R O P O S E D C O N T O U R D R A I N I N L E T ( S E E C I V I L P L A N S ) H P = H I G H P O I N T R I M = R I M E L E V A T I O N D R A I N B A S I N ( S E E C I V I L P L A N S ) M A N H O L E ( S E E C I V I L P L A N S ) L E G E N D E X I S T I N G C O N T O U R P R O P O S E D M A J O R C O N T O U R P R O P O S E D S P O T E L E V A T I O N + 8 4 6 . 0 0 B C = B O T T O M O F C U R B T C = T O P O F C U R B E X I S T I N G S P O T E L E V A T I O N B W = B O T T O M O F W A L L T W = T O P O F W A L L P R O P O S E D C O N T O U R D R A I N I N L E T ( S E E C I V I L P L A N S ) H P = H I G H P O I N T R I M = R I M E L E V A T I O N D R A I N B A S I N ( S E E C I V I L P L A N S ) M A N H O L E ( S E E C I V I L P L A N S ) 8 9 6 8 9 2 8 9 4 8 9 8 8 9 2 8 9 6 8 9 4 8 9 8 8 9 8 8 9 8 8 8 6 8 9 2 8 9 4 8 9 0 8 8 8 8 9 6 9 0 0 892 894 896 898 898900 9 0 2 9 0 2 9 0 0 9 0 0 9 0 0 9 0 2 9 0 2 900 896 8 9 0 8 9 1 8 8 9 8 8 8 8 8 7 8 8 6 8 8 5 8 8 4 8 8 3 882881 CONTRACT LIMIT LINE C O N T R A C T L I M I T L I N E C O N T R A C T L I M I T L I N E C O N T R A C T L I M I T L I N E C O N T R A C T L I M I T L I N E XXXX XX E X I S T I N G S P L I T R A I L F E N C E E X I S T I N G P E D E S T R I A N A C C E S S P A T H W A Y 0 0 2 0 ' 4 0 ' 1 1 5 F I F T H A V E N U E N E W Y O R K , N Y 1 0 0 0 3 T . 2 1 2 . 3 5 3 . 7 2 0 0 F . 2 1 2 . 3 5 3 . 7 6 7 6 W A R N I N G : I t i s a v i o l a t i o n o f l a w f o r a n y p e r s o n , u n l e s s a c t i n g u n d e r t h e d i r e c t i o n o f a l i c e n s e d l a n d s c a p e a r c h i t e c t t o a l t e r a n y i t e m o n t h i s d o c u m e n t w h o a l t e r s t h i s d o c u m e n t i s r e q u i r e d b y l a w t o a f f i x h i s o r h e r s e a l a n d t h e n o t a t i o n " a l t e r e d b y " f o l l o w e d b y h i s o r h e r s i g n a t u r e a n d a s p e c i f i c d e s c r i p t i o n o f a l t e r a t i o n s .
