Response: After including the additional 5-acres of off-site drainage, the stormwater
  calculations were updated accordingly. The compiled revised SWPPP in is included for
  review. An overview of the resulting revisions:

  •  Updated redevelopment worksheet to include the additional 5-acres which
  increased the required WQv for the site (Appendix C).
  •  Treatment for the additional water quality is achieved via a new bioretention
  area – “Bio – 1A” to treat drainage area PS-1A. (SWPPP narrative, Appendix C,
  Figure A-7, Sheets C301 and C401).
  •  The total WQv and RRv for the site are achieved through 4 bioretention areas
  and 1 water quality unit (Appendix C).
  •  HydroCAD – The pre-development and post-development models were updated
  to include the 5-acre off-site drainage area. Bio-1A was added to the post-
  development model. Per Town code the calculations were checked to ensure
  that the post-development 25-yr storm runoff is less than the pre-development
  10-year storm (SWPPP narrative, Appendix D, Appendix E)
  •  eNOI was updated to reflect the above mentioned SWPPP revisions (Appendix B)

5. The submitted photometric plan indicates minor increases in light levels on the
  adjacent parcel to the west. While these increases appear to be minimal and are
  expected to be mitigated by existing or proposed screening, the applicant should
  verify that the lighting design complies with applicable Town requirements.
  Response: Per Town Code Section 79-2 – The design meets listed code requirements.
  Existing vegetation will remain along the creek on the western side of the property to
  provide screening, should light spillage extend to the property line (center of creek). All
  lights fixtures will be downward facing and dark sky compliant.

6. Additional investigation of existing utilities is required. Updated information
  identifying the location, size, and status of existing utilities shall be provided and
  incorporated into the construction plans.

  Response: Additional fieldwork and site investigation to location the existing mansion
  utilities will be performed prior to issuance of the final construction documents. The
  project is proposing all new utility connections for property. Existing utility connections
  will abandoned and/or removed as directed by the Town staff.

7. Provide additional geotechnical investigation and supporting documentation to
  evaluate existing soil conditions and groundwater elevations. The investigation shall
  demonstrate that the proposed stormwater treatment practices and underground
  stormwater storage system are feasible and will function as intended given the
  potential for a high groundwater table.
  Response: Acknowledged, groundwater elevation testing will be completed to verify
  that the proposed stormwater practices have sufficient separation. Should the results
