ENGINEER'S REPORT 9 A.M -4 RM
DATE: April 13, 2011
TO: PLANNING BOARD
FROM: Brent Cross, Village Engineer
RE: Pleasant Grove Subdivision
I have received an application to subdivide 176 Pleasant Grove Road into three lots, which includes the
existing single family house on one lot and two new building lots. This is considered a Major Subdivision
(more than 2 lots) by the Local Law#2—1992 and therefore is subject to approval by the Planning Board.
I am preparing this report to provide the Planning Board with information about the specific project, as
well as procedural details of the approval process.
The owner/applicant, Jason Sokoloff, has provided a preliminary subdivision plat as prepared by TG
Miller, PC dated 1/14/11 (see attached survey map)- The existing lot would be divided into three lots
identified as Lots A, B, C.
Lot A: 1.02 Ac parcel with frontage/access onto the private street, Pleasant Grove Lane. Since the private
road is owned by the Pleasant Grove Lane Homeowner's Association (PGLHOA), then we will need
documentation from them that they will allow access to this lot via a legal right of way or membership in
the PGLHOA.
Lot B: 0.64 Ac parcel with frontage onto Pleasant Grove Road, which is a public street. This lot also has
the existing house, which will remain.
Lot C: 0.60 Ac parcel with frontage onto Pleasant Grove Road.
I have checked all lots for compliance with the Village Zoning Regulations for minimum lot size. They all
exceed the minimum average width of 125' and minimum average depth of 150'. They also have more
than the minimum 75'of road frontage. Of course Lot A's frontage is on the private road. This is similar to
how the existing lots on Pleasant Grove Lane were approved.
Although the total area of Lots A&C (new lots) is 1.62 Ac, I suspect that the total area of disturbance will
be less than 1 Ac, which is the threshold for a Full Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Since
the project does not include any new infrastructure such as roads, ditches, water/sewer/storm pipes, or
sidewalks, I don't anticipate any measurable amount of post construction run-off. Therefore, I would
recommend that the developer be required to provide a"Basic SWPPP"which will address soil erosion
and sedimentation controls during the construction phase.
This project will be presented to the Planning Board at the upcoming meeting as a Preliminary Plat. This
meeting is a chance for the PB Members to become familiar with the project and ask pertinent questions.
During this meeting, it is appropriate for the Planning Board to officially classify the project as a"major
subdivision" and designate the lead agency for the SEQR process. You will also decide whether the
developer should prepare a SEQR Short or Long Form to be reviewed at the next meeting.
Provided that there are no significant issues to be resolved as a result of the preliminary meeting, the
project will need to be scheduled for a public hearing at the following meeting. I will identify all of the
adjacent property owners and send them a letter as well as place a notice of the meeting in the Ithaca
Journal.
