HomeMy WebLinkAboutPB Packet - Randl Special Permit- 10-1-24 PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Board Members FROM: Nicholas Quilty-Koval, Planner DATE: September 19, 2024 RE: Stone Quarry Road Driveway Extension – Special Permit Enclosed please find materials related to the proposed driveway improvements on an adjacent property (Tax Parcel Number 39.-1-33.1) immediately south of 229 Stone Quarry Road (Tax Parcel Number 40.-3- 11). The project involves extending the existing driveway that serves 229 Stone Quarry Road to provide improved vehicle access to the rear portion of the property as well as drainage improvements along the driveway and Stone Quarry Road. The project requires Planning Board special permit approval because it involves the deposit or removal of more than 250 cubic yards of material on any parcel in one year (Town Code §270 -217). The proposed driveway modifications involve excavating approximately 550 cubic yards of topsoil and shale and installing temporary stormwater management facilities during construction and permanent facilities post-construction. The proposed driveway extension is located on a 2.6+/- acre parcel owned by Richard H Mandl, Jr. The closest building is a residential home approximately 60 feet north of the project site located on a separate parcel owned by the Applicant and Deborah Ann Mandl. Residential properties are located north, west, and south of the project area, and the South Hill Business Campus is located to the east. Aside from the approximate 100ft long existing gravel driveway and proposed approximate 280ft long extension, there are no additional features on the property, but located to the east on the South Hill Business Campus is a small gorge and stream. On the adjacent 229 Stone Quarry Road property, there are two small ornamental ponds. The project involves installing temporary stormwater management facilities during construction. The Town of Ithaca Public Works and Engineering Departments reviewed a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the project and provided the attached memo , dated September 19, 2024. Pursuant to the Town Code requirements in §270 -217, the Director of Public Works (Joe Slater) and The Director of Engineering (Justin McNeal, on behalf of the Director of Engineering) have confirmed in their memo under “General Comments” that the “Basic SWPPP has been approved via Permit Number SWP-23-59.” Attached is the draft Special Permit resolution that references the Public Works/Engineering memo. The attachments also include a completed draft Short EAF and draft SEQR resolution for the project for Planning Board consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 607 -273-1747 extension 127, or email me at nquiltykoval@townithacany.gov if you have any questions prior to the meeting.

Chris Balestra requested “One digital upload plus 11 paper copies of a Narrative that explains the project (e.g., What are you doing? Why? Where will the fill go? Will there by any importing of materials? Are you constructing any structures? etc.)” 1. What are we doing? This project's Landowner Richard Mandl has jointly owned the adjacent 229 Stone Quarry Road property (Tax Map No. 40.-3-11) with Deborah Mandl since 1988. The existing driveway currently serving 229 Stone Quarry Road is already on the 39.-1-33.1 property and has been since 1873 when the original home at 229 Stone Quarry Road was constructed. The Mandls purchased the 39.-1-33.1 property in 1989 to have unencumbered access to the driveway. They have made several improvements to the 229 Stone Quarry Road property over the years including two substantial additions and renovations to the home, as well as a 16x28 pole barn added to the rear portion of the lot. This project will extend the existing driveway up the sidehill on the Tax Map No. 39.-1-33.1 parcel to the rear portion of both lots. 2. Why? The proposed driveway will provide improved vehicle access to the recently constructed pole barn on the 229 Stone Quarry property and the rear portion of both lots, as well as modest improvement to a longstanding drainage issue along this driveway and the Stone Quarry Road. 3. Where will the fill go? The cut and fill involved in this project almost entirely involves cutting from an exposed rock ledge near the bottom to create the driveway and using this material onsite as fill both along the driveway and in two swales further uphill that currently concentrate stormwater runoff. There is additional mixed rock and subsoil with will be used to level one of the swales, and topsoil which will be used both to top disturbed areas for re-seeding and surplus used in the gardens on the back portion of both lots. We anticipate some additional bluestone which will be use as patio and wall stone. No cut materials will be removed from the combined site. This is described in detail in the Basic SWPPP for this project. 4. Will there be any importing of materials? Our intent is to use the onsite crushed shale to top the driveway, however some additional crushed stone may be required to make a smooth driveway surface. 5. Are you constructing any structures? Not as part of this project, but this driveway extension provides vehicle access to the pole barn on the adjacent 229 Stone Quarry Rd property. We believe that the exception described in 270-217. Deposit or removal of fill and related products, subparagraph I.(1) applies, as this project is a normal building operation (excavation, filling, and grading) in connection with a legal building permit (it is the access driveway for Town of Ithaca building permit number 2015-0665 for the pole barn) and the total amount of material moved from one place to another is less than 700 cubic yards. We therefore request that the reviewing Board waive the requirement for a special Planning Board review meeting in accordance with section 270-199 Waiver of requirements. Page 1 of 8 Project Name: Addition of New Driveway on Stone Quarry Road Tax parcel 39.-1-33.1 Project Narrative of the required contents of a Basic SWPPP as outlined in the Town of Ithaca General Regulations Part 228 Stormwater Management and Erosion Control, part 228.10.C. Each of 18 items listed in the general regulations are repeated here in italics for convenience of review, along with narrative responses applicable to this project: C. Contents of a basic SWPPP. All basic SWPPPs shall provide the following: (Item 1) The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the landowner(s) and the developer(s), and the Tax Map number for the parcel(s) being developed: Landowner and developer: Richard H Mandl Jr. Landowner address: 229 Stone Quarry Road Ithaca, NY 14850 Landowner phone number: cell phone # 607-342-1934 or 607-342-0036 Tax Map No.: 39.-1-33.1 (Item 2) Written description of the project, existing site conditions, and conditions at adjacent areas in relation to potential erosion and sediment problems, including locations of on-site and adjacent off-site surface water(s): The proposed project includes creating a new driveway on the parcel identified as Tax Map No. 39.-1-33.1 connected to and as an extension of the Tax Map No. 40.-3-11 229 Stone Quarry Road driveway. This project's Landowner Richard Mandl jointly owns the adjacent 229 Stone Quarry Road property with Deborah Mandl. The proposed driveway will go up the hillside to provide improved vehicle access to the rear portion of both lots as well as modest improvement to a longstanding drainage issue along this driveway and the Stone Quarry Road. The roadside ditch along the Stone Quarry Road overflows onto the road during storms at multiple locations, including this property’s drainage, where it sheets across the road carrying debris. This has historically created erosion and road ice related problems requiring significant repair effort, both on the road requiring Town repair and maintenance efforts and on our driveway requiring ours. There is an existing road curb cut on the subject parcel 39.-1-33.1, roughly 120 feet uphill from the 229 Stone Quarry Road driveway entrance, connected to the 229 Stone Quarry Road driveway which is primarily on the project land. The uphill road cut has a 24 inch square Town of Ithaca drop inlet immediately above, as such there is no pipe /culvert under the road cut at this location. This drop inlet becomes clogged with debris coming down the street from above during storm events and the floodwater subsequently sheets across the road. The 229 Stone Quarry curb cut has an 8” corrugated plastic drain pipe culvert installed by the Town some years ago during repairs of a major flood event. The culvert does not resurface below our driveway but continues below a paved ditch and has subsequently become irreparably clogged by additional storm debris. We try to keep the inlet clear but it currently accepts only a very limited flowrate, with excessive flow sheeting across the road. Page 2 of 8 The existing driveway consists of a partially exposed shale bed layer with a partial crushed stone topping and has been excavated into the exposed shale ledge on the south / uphill side creating a level area with a small rock cliff to the South-East. At the driveway apex, roughly midway between the two road cuts, a swale enters from the wooded area above and drains storm runoff through the driveway into the uphill roadside ditch. Approximately 200 feet up the proposed new driveway, there is another shallower swale that concentrates surface runoff and directs it onto the adjacent 229 Stone Quarry Road property, where it sheets onto the exposed bedrock rock patio and drains from there behind the 229 Stone Quarry Garage and into the driveway then onto the road at the downhill edge of the driveway. We recently made minor improvements to these runoff issues. We created a 12-inch square drop inlet at the southeast side of the driveway apex connected to approximately 18 cubic yards of subsurface gravel and broken stone (roughly 35 ft l x 6 to 7 ft w x 18” – 24” deep) with 100 linear feet of 6” perforated corrugated drain pipe, in three sections, bedded in #1 gravel at the bottom. The inlet connects to the first/uphill 30 ft of pipe, the second/middle pipe is capped at both ends, and the third/bottom pipe has a 4” teed outlet daylighting at the same location the surface flow previously exited the driveway. – this improvement noticeably minimized our driveway surface water and delayed and reduced the peak runoff rate to the street during the recent August 9, 2024 storm event, helping to mitigate the Town’s problem on this road. We also created a “French drain” capturing some of the flow from the upper shallower swale on the 229 Stone Quarry property, directing it to an ornamental pond system which already has an overflow outlet to just above the next lower Town drop inlet between parcels 40-3-11 (Mandl) and 40-3-10 (Bracewell). This improvement reduced surface runoff to our patio and subsequent drainage to the driveway. This new driveway project will start as a wide “switch-back” from the current driveway at the location of the upper road cut, cut into the rock ledge and extending roughly 180 feet diagonally up the hill towards the northeast at approximately a 12% grade. It will curve towards the east at approximately a 150 ft radius until above the exposed ledge, then level out into the backyard and terminate after an additional approximately 100 feet, providing improved access to the back portion of the lot. The lower portion of the new driveway will be cut substantially out of the exposed shale and bluestone ledge. The driveway surface will slope back into the hill creating a drainage culvert, which will capture runoff from the above described swale and redirect it through the existing and an additional small subsurface porous fill volume then into the Town’s drainage system. Soil and rock removed from the cut areas will be used to create and edge the new driveway and for gardening purposes. Excess materials from the excavation will be used to infill the swale areas absorbing, spreading, and slowing the currently concentrated flows there further reducing the stormwater runoff rate and improving its quality. There is no surface water on site, either permanent stream or pond. On the adjacent property uphill owned by Ithaca College, there is a small gorge and stream roughly 800 feet to the South / uphill. On the adjacent 229 Stone Quarry Rd. property downhill, there are two small ornamental ponds. The upper smaller one, about 35 square feet and 400 gallons, currently receives drainage and storm runoff from the upper portion of the 229 Stone Quarry property and more recently from part of this proposed project’s watershed. It drains into the larger (about 430 square feet and 6600 gallons) via an intermittent waterfall. This lower pond has an adjustable height piped surface drain and concrete flood spillway which both overflow into the Town drop inlet just below. Page 3 of 8 (Item 3) A map showing the delineation of the watershed boundaries in which the project is sited: See attached drawing S5. (Item 4) Site maps and construction drawing(s) for the project, including a general location map. At a minimum, the site map must show, at a scale no smaller than one inch equals 100 feet (e.g., one inch equal 500 feet is smaller than one inch equals 100 feet): (a) The total site area. 2.58 Acres net to R/W - see drawing S4 (b) All proposed development elements, including, but not limited to, structures and roads. See drawings S1 through S5 which show the driveway, drainage and infill elements. (c) Areas of land disturbance. The total anticipated area of land disturbance is approximately 20400 square feet / 0.47Acres – see drawing S4 which shows the approximate outline of the work area used to measure the disturbance. (d) Areas of land that will not be disturbed. 2.11 Acres (2.58 – 0.47 = 2.11) – see drawing S4 (e) Areas of pre-existing and proposed vegetative cover. Existing vegetative cover = 2.45A, proposed vegetative cover = 2.34A. The entire site is wooded except for the town road and the driveway. (f) Locations of on-site and adjacent off-site surface water(s). There is no on-site surface water. See drawing S4 for location of adjacent off-site surface water. (g) Wetlands and drainage patterns that could be affected by the land development activity. See drawings S1 through S5. There are no wetlands on or adjacent to the proposed project. Surface drainage from the Eastern portion of the delineated watershed currently sheets across the shallow swale of rather impervious soil at the proposed driveway site and the property line to the 229 Stone Quarry property as described above. This flow will be captured above the new driveway base and redirected to the existing pipe system leading to the ornamental ponds. Surface drainage from the Western portion of the delineated watershed currently concentrates in a normally dry brush covered swale described above causing significant stormwater runoff issues on the Stone Quarry Road. While most of the quality broken shale from the excavation will be used to create the upper driveway, there will be approximately 200 cubic yards of the excavated material available to infill a portion of the swale uphill from the new driveway creating a more level area that will absorb the storm drainage from above and release it more slowly than it currently runs off. The downhill edge of this fill area will be dammed with subsoil, infilled with mixed broken shale and subsoil, then topped with the original subsoil and topsoil and seeded. A 4 inch perforated drainage pipe will be installed at the base collecting the subsurface accumulation and Page 4 of 8 slowly releasing it to below. This slowed run-off will be intercepted by the new driveway cut and redirected through the driveway bottom detention volume to the uphill drop inlet. This re-direction of the drainage is intended to improve the run-off issue our driveway and this portion of Stone Quarry Road has historically been plagued with. (h) Areas of existing and proposed final slopes: See drawings S1 through S5 which show existing and proposed two foot contour lines with various labels. (i) Locations of off-site material, waste, borrow or equipment storage areas: The only material to be re-located to offsite will be topsoil to the garden areas, some fine crushed shale as topper for existing driveway surfaces, and bluestone for various landscaping projects on this and the adjacent 229 Stone Quarry property. Locations of onsite materials placement are varied as the cut material varies, and all will be re-used not wasted. Solid wall and flagstone will be saved for various landscaping projects. Coarse broken shale will be used in the infill mentioned in item 4.g above and as road base where the upper new driveway will be slightly elevated above the existing forest floor elevation. Fine broken shale will be used as driveway topping throughout the project and represents roughly half of the excavation. Subsoil and topsoil will be preserved and replaced at disturbed areas and reseeded. The borrow locations are the cut required for the new driveway, only. Equipment will be stored along the new driveway during construction, preserving access to the existing 229 Stone Quarry property driveway. (j) Location(s) of the stormwater management practices and stormwater discharge(s): See drawings S2 and S4. In general, the project intent includes construction phase and more permanent stormwater management. Construction phase measures include silt fence and wattle as shown. More permanent measures include detaining and redirecting currently problematic runoff into existing town highway drop inlets. (Item 5) Description of the existing soil(s) present at the site, vegetative surface cover, and site impervious cover present: The existing driveway is essentially impervious. The USDA Web Soil Survey indicates there are three soil types in the location of the project work which consist of: 1. Exposed rock ledge at the bottom, 2. type LoF HSG C Lordstown Channery silt-loam on the lower portion, and 3. LtC HSG type D Lordstown, Tuller, and Ovid soils in the upper portion. The lower portion of the site by the road is steep (15-100% grade) with some exposed rock ledge, and the upper portion levels out with approximately 2 to 3 feet of relatively rock free soil cover over the shale. Both upper and lower portions of the project area are wooded with a sugar maple grove that is transforming to include more young oak and hickory. There are occasional white pine and black walnut, choke cherry, crabapple, sumac, and other brushy trees. The maple grove is open with minimal undergrowth while the oak / hickory area to the west has brushy undergrowth. (Item 6) A land development plan describing the intended sequence of construction activities, including clearing and grubbing, excavation and grading, utility and infrastructure installation Page 5 of 8 and any other activity at the site that results in soil disturbance. Consistent with the Erosion Control Manual, not more than three acres shall be disturbed at any one time, unless such disturbance is pursuant to an approved SWPPP: Clearing and Grubbing: The route chosen for the driveway carefully balances preservation of the existing trees with reasonable curvature, slope, and width of the proposed driveway. Planned tree removal has been minimized. There are five dying or dead trees above 12” diameter (3 maple, one cork elm, 1 white ash) that will be removed along with several saplings and brush. A 7” diameter hickory tree has already been successfully relocated. There are several additional 2” to 4” oak and hickory saplings on the area to be disturbed that will be carefully relocated. Clearing and grubbing will proceed with chainsaws, a compact tractor with end loader and trailer, and a mini-excavator mounted grapple which can pull up to a 3” tree from the earth with roots and minimal ground disturbance. The cut wood will be used for firewood. The grubbed brushwood will be piled remote from the road pending decomposition and re- incorporation into the forest floor. Excavation and grading will proceed sequentially, with materials removed from the driveway cut location totaling roughly 550 cubic yards. The material will be sorted and will remain on-site or on the adjacent property owned by Mandl. The excavation materials can be divided into 5 categories, which each have distinct properties and best use conditions. The amounts and intended use listed below are initial approximations which will vary as the existing conditions are uncovered: 1. Topsoil (approx. 100 CY), approximately the top 4 to 6 inches from the initial grade, will be separated from the subsoil and rock first, stockpiled and finally re-graded over the disturbed non-driveway area. Any excess will be used in the adjacent vegetable garden area. 2. Clean Subsoil (approx 50 CY) will be stockpiled, then used as semi-impervious fill and mixed with site generated compost to create more topsoil. This is limited to a narrow band of type 3 LtC HSG type D LTO soils from the upper portion of the excavation.. 3. Rocky Subsoil (approx. 100 CY) will be stockpiled nearby then used as the base of a semi-impervious berm at the base of the infill area shown, as fill above detention area rubble, and at the driveway edge. 4. Broken Shale (approx. 250 CY) will be used as fill and road base, with about 75CY of the finer material used as topper for the new and existing driveway. Any excess will be stockpiled on-site at the end of the driveway for future use. 5. Bluestone and erratics (approx. 50 CY) from on-site will be used in check-dams and in various on-site wall and paver projects. Any excess from the project will be stockpiled adjacent to the driveway for future use. The excavation sequence will proceed from both above and below. Erosion control measures will be set in place first. Most topsoil and subsoil can be removed from above starting at the top and creating a properly sloped track-hoe operating surface as the cut proceeds, carting material to stockpiles via a small (1.5 CY capacity) dump trailer. Material that must be removed from below, operating from the existing driveway, can be carted up the hill to stockpiles via the existing tractor path on the 229 Stone Quarry property. Most of the rock can be removed using a ripping claw, however a hydraulic rock hammer will likely be required for some of the thicker bed layers. The driveway surface will be topped with crushed and broken shale and will slope into the hillside to control drainage speed through a series of check dams and a small detention area Page 6 of 8 at the bottom then into the drop inlet at the uphill side of the road cut. The cut area below the driveway will be smoothly graded and topped with topsoil. The cut area above the driveway and rock ledge will be sloped back to be stable and topped with topsoil. Both sides of the driveway will be seeded with rapid germinating grass / wildflowers / herbs and mulched pending indigenous vegetation re-establishment. Roughly midway through the existing driveway, the bedrock drops abruptly about 18”-24” and the uphill portion of this is filled with indigenous clay which is quite impervious and slick. As mentioned in Item #2 above, roughly 18 CY (35ft x 6-7ft) of this volume has recently been replaced with 100 ft (3 parallel sections) of 6” corrugated pipe bedded in #1 gravel then filled with coarsely broken shale which is drivable as a construction road. The southernmost 35ft of this clay volume gets wider up to about 12ft and will be removed in entirety and replaced as a continuation of the above described detention volume with an additional 100ft of 6” perforated corrugated drain pipe and similar fill, totaling about 26 CY. Both will be topped with finer driveway topping shale. This will further detain storm run-off slightly and direct it either to the same location it currently discharges to or with the Town’s help and permission we can redirect it all to the Town’s drop inlet just above the road cut. Roughly 200 feet up the driveway, there is an area that is currently a shallow swale that gets wetter and muddy during extended wet weather and has sheet run off to the adjacent back deck during storm events. This sheet run off has recently been captured on the 229 Stone Quarry Road property and diverted to the ornamental pond structures. This drainage piping will be continued under the new driveway which will be slightly elevated through this low area. The surface water will be captured there via roughly 50 ft of 4” perforated SDR pipe embedded in broken shale at the new driveway edge and topped with topsoil with an area of exposed permeable shale to allow the surface waters to enter the pipe system. There are no other utility or infrastructure modifications planned. The disturbed area is well under the 3 acre limit at approximately ½ acre. (Item 7) Description of the pollution prevention measures that will be used to control litter, construction chemicals and construction debris from becoming a pollutant source in stormwater runoff: No littering will be allowed – garbage cans will be available for garbage. Brush litter will be consolidated as a decomposing wildlife habitat. No construction chemicals are required that are not contained in machinery. All debris from the temporary sediment control practices will be removed and recycled as possible at the end of the project. (Item 8) Description of the type, quantities, and size of, and disposal methods for, construction and waste materials expected to be stored on site, and a description of controls to reduce pollutants released from these materials, including storage practices to minimize exposure of the materials to stormwater: The type and quantities of the excavation materials are described in Item #6 above. These excavation materials are not considered waste but rather a resource to be valued and re-used. They will be stored in stockpiles with silt and erosion protective measures in place until final placement and re-vegetation. The stockpiled rock does not erode or release pollutants. There are negligible construction materials. Page 7 of 8 (Item 9) Temporary and permanent structural and vegetative measures to be used for soil stabilization, runoff control and sediment and erosion control for each stage of the project, from initial land clearing and grubbing to project closeout, to include a landscaping and vegetation plan describing existing woody and herbaceous vegetation to be preserved and proposed landscaping to be installed: Please see Items #5 and #6 above for descriptions of the existing and proposed vegetation and plans for protecting and preserving this. Temporary structural erosion and sedimentation control measures will include silt fencing as outlined on the Town of Ithaca Engineering website: https://www.town.ithaca.ny.us/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Simple-SWPPP-info.pdf Proposed deviations from the practice outlined in this document include: 1. Silt fence will be fencing commercially available for this purpose similar to locally available HDX contractor grade erosion control fencing, which has nominal 2x2 not 3x3 stakes / posts. Areas needing post spacing other than and in addition to the preassembled 10 ft centers will be added with 2x2 lumber and stapled as specified. 2. Rather than trench in the soil at the bottom edge of the silt fence to have it “toed in”, we propose to fold the fabric uphill along the undisturbed soil 6 inches and bury that in 6 inches minimum compacted fill, as the fill is excavated. This will disturb the Earth less than the specified method and contain the erosion better. 3. Where silt fence cannot be utilized due to exposed rock preventing driving of stakes, tubular straw filled wattle similar to locally available Pennington or UTM SW-25 will be installed continuous with the sediment control fence and weighed down with excavated rock to stabilize it. (Item 10) A site map/construction drawing(s) specifying the location(s), size(s) and length(s) of each erosion and sediment control practice shown on drawings with a minimum scale of 1:50: See drawings S2 and S4. (Item 11) Dimensions, material specifications and installation details for all erosion and sediment control practices, including the siting and sizing of any temporary sediment and stormwater runoff catch basins, with details shown on drawings with a minimum scale of 1:50: See Item #8 above for erosion and sediment control materials specifications. See drawings S2 and S4 for locations and sizes. (Item 12) A list of each erosion control facility, if any, that will be converted from temporary to permanent control measures: Permanent structural erosion and sedimentation control measures will include: 1. Grading the driveway to slope back into the hill with check dams roughly every 50 feet in the shallow culvert created by the excavation. These check dams will be roughly created and kept in place more continuously during the process of construction. 2. Planting and maintaining vegetative ground cover and forest floor mulch on all temporarily disturbed areas. Page 8 of 8 3. Two infilled areas of swale uphill from the driveway to capture and detain storm runoff that currently sheets across a) the driveway and Stone Quarry Rd., and b) our back deck, then our driveway and the road. 4. An infilled area immediately uphill from the upper drop inlet that is currently clay and silt subsoil unsuitable for driveway base. It will be filled with broken cobble rock from the excavation, graded finer at the top so as to be suitable as parking / driving area but still free draining on top. This will capture and detain the flow from the new driveway culvert, and will drain to the drop inlet and existing culvert as described in Item #6 above. (Item 13) For each phase of development, submission of a separate and distinct plan for stormwater erosion and sedimentation control, including the sequencing plan: There will be one phase of development. (Item 14) Implementation schedule for the staging and sequencing of temporary erosion and sediment control practices, including the timing of initial placement and duration that each practice will remain in place: The temporary erosion and sediment control practices will be installed prior to beginning of excavation of the soils. They will remain in place until project completion. An exception to this is that the wattle installation on the existing driveway may need to be removed during active excavation at the location of the wattle. Our expectation is that this will be approved promptly, begin work immediately, and be basically complete before winter of 2025. (Item 15) Maintenance and operating procedures and schedules to ensure continuous and effective operation of the erosion and sediment control practices: The temporary measures will be inspected regularly and before each storm event to insure they are still properly in place and functional. They will be promptly repaired when found to be defective. The permanent measures are designed for low maintenance, and will be periodically inspected (at least once per year and more frequently if issues are observed incidentally), maintained, and upgraded as needed to maintain efficacy. (Item 16) The name or location and description of any surface waters that will receive stormwater runoff and/or sedimentation from the proposed project site: Cayuga Lake Inlet via the Town of Ithaca drop inlets along the Stone Quarry Road. (Item 17) Description of structural practices designed to divert flows away from exposed soils, store flows, or otherwise limit runoff and the discharge of pollutants from exposed areas of the site to the degree attainable: These are all described in items 2 through 16 above. (Item 18) Any existing site data that describes the stormwater runoff at the site: We have no data other than what the Town may maintain on the frequency and extent of road flooding caused by the intermittent runoff from this site.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Special Permit Stone Quarry Road Driveway Extension Tax Parcel No.’s 39.-1-33.1 & 40.-3-11 Town of Ithaca Planning Board, October 1, 2024 WHEREAS: 1. This action is Consideration of Special Permit for the deposit and removal of fill relative to proposed driveway improvements on an adjacent property immediately south of 229 Stone Quarry Road. The project involves extending the existing driveway that serves 229 Stone Quarry Road to provide improved vehicle access to the rear portion of the property as well as drainage improvements along the driveway and Stone Quarry Road. The project also involves excavating approximately 550 cubic yards of topsoil and shale and installing temporary stormwater management facilities during construction and permanent facilities post- construction. Richard Henry Mandl, Jr., Owner/Applicant, 2. This is an Unlisted Action for which the Town of Ithaca Planning Board, acting as lead agency in the environmental review with respect to the project, has, on October 1, 2024, made a negative determination of environmental significance, after having reviewed and accepted as adequate a Short Environmental Assessment Form Part 1, submitted by the applicant, and Parts 2 and 3, prepared by Town Planning staff, and 3. The Planning Board, at a Public Hearing held on October 1, 2024, reviewed, and accepted as adequate a Basic Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and set of drawings (Sheets S2, S3, S4, & S5) titled “Mandl Driveway Expansion” dated 02/12/2024, prepared by Richard Mandl, and other application materials; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: 1. That the Planning Board hereby finds that the special permit standards of Article XXIV Section 270-200, Subsections A – H, of the Town of Ithaca Code, have been met, specifically that: A. The project will be suitable for the property on which it is proposed, considering the property’s size, location, and physical site characteristics. • The property contains an existing driveway that will be extended easterly up the hill side along the property line, as well as improvement to stormwater facilities along Stone Quarry Road. The proposed improvements work with the site’s existing physical characteristics. B. The proposed structure design and site layout are compatible with the surrounding area. • There are no proposed new structures and no changes to the site layout, other than extending the existing gravel drive up the hillside. C. Operations in connection with the proposed use do not create any more noise, fumes, vibration, illumination, or other potential nuisances than the operation of any permitted use in the particular zone. • The use of the property will not change. The proposed driveway extension will create temporary impacts that will cease when the work is completed. D. Community infrastructure and services, such as police, fire and other protective services, roadways, schools, and water and sewer facilities are currently, or will be, of adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed use. • The only changes to community infrastructure include redirecting of runoff to existing town highway drop inlets from modest improvements to onsite stormwater facilities E. The proposed use, structure design, and site layout will comply with all the provisions of the Town Code and with the Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan. • Proposed modifications require review and approval of a Basic SWPPP by the Town Engineering, and a culvert permit for connection to the Town owned storm system. The attached memo from the Town Engineering Department dated September 19th, 2024, details the approval of the Basic SWPPP and comments on the requirement for a culvert permit with the Public Works Department. F. The site layout, with proposed vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian access, traffic circulation, and parking and loading facilities, is sufficient for the proposed use and is safely designed for emergency vehicles. G. The project includes sufficient landscaping and/or other forms of buffering to protect surrounding land uses. Existing vegetation is preserved to the extent possible. • The site is a densely forested hillside with substantial buffer around the surrounding area. There are several small diameter saplings between 2” and 4” proposed relocation, and five 12” diameter trees (3 maple, one cork elm, 1 white ash) planned for removal. H. To the extent deemed relevant by the Planning Board, the proposed use or structure complies with all the criteria applicable to site plan review set forth in Chapter 270, Zoning. • Site Plan approval is not required with Special Permit when associated with a fill permit. This criterion is not applicable to the project. 2. That, pursuant to Town Code Section 270-217.E, the Planning Board hereby finds that the plan adequately protects the property and surrounding properties from significant adverse consequences of such deposit or removal, including, when completed, adverse drainage, erosion, visual or other adverse impacts, taking into account the distance of the operation from neighboring property and public ways, the possible detriment of such use to the future development of the land in question, and significant nuisance or detriment of the operation to neighboring landowners and to the community as a whole, and 3. That the Planning Board hereby grants Special Permit for the proposed Stone Quarry Road Driveway Extension, with the following condition: a. All Town of Ithaca Engineering Department comments listed in the Engineering Memorandum, written by Joe Slater, Director of Public Works and Justin McNeal, Civil Engineer, dated September 19th, 2024, must be addressed prior to any Land Development Activity ( Per Town Code § 228- 5).
