West Seneca Sewer Report | Page 2 Section 1 – Introduction Home Leasing is proposing the development of a new affordable housing complex on a +/- 11.7-acre parcel in West Seneca, NY. Home Leasing is seeking rezoning of the parcel from M 1 to R 50, allowing for multiple-family dwellings with the issuance of a special use permit by the Town Board. Home Leasing is also seeking Site Plan Approval from West Seneca and HCR 9% funding from New York State. The proposed development includes 75 units split between a repurposing of the existing mansion on site to now include apartment building in the rear of the property. Improvements to the existing mansion include the dwelling units, administrative offices, community room for residents and modifications (interior and exterior) to make the first floor ADA accessible. The project includes a private road accessing the apartments, parking, sidewalks, playground, landscaping and stormwater management facilities. Site Location The 11.7-acre site is nestled between Clinton Street (State Route 354) to the south and Cayuga Creek to the North and West. Within a quarter mile of the development there are multiple commercial uses and Interstate 90. The neighborhood is predominately comprised of agricultural land, single- and two-family homes and industrial/manufacturing facilities. See appendix A for location site map. Section 2 – General Existing Site Conditions The existing site includes the above-mentioned mansion, two barns, a stone wall along Clinton Street and parking areas. The barns and parking areas will be demolished, while the existing stone wall will remain, with the entrance being widened to allow for emergency vehicle access to the site. The site topography is relatively flat with elevations generally ranging from 600 to 580. Storm water runoff from site drains either via sheet flow directly to Cayuga Street, or to drainage inlets that drain to Cayuga Creek. The existing drainage system on site is minimal and consists of a small swale and dry detention basis which collects and re-directs off-site drainage from the east. Drainage is then conveyed to Cayuga Creek via storm pipes and open drainage swales. Proposed Site Conditions The proposed development includes 75 units split between a repurposing of the existing mansion on site to now include apartments and one apartment building in the rear of the property.
