Aquatectonic Install An Underground#

I have seen several cases of rust coming up through the grout of the tile finish and have concluded that it is almost entirely due to crevice corrosion.Driving rains and inadequate storm management systems caused catastrophic flooding in ScarsdaleThe timing of a developerвЂ™s appeal to build eight homes and a private road on a swampy lot at 80, 88 and 90 Garden Road could not have been worse. I head the largest pool design consultancy in the NYC area (Aquatectonic Architects) where most of our work is stainless pools in highrise buildings. Mark Holden: Thanks for writing this article.

The prospect of taking down over 300 trees and displacing even more pervious surfaces drew scores of residents to Village Hall on Wednesday night September 22 to voice their objections to the Planning Board as they heard the developerвЂ™s seventh attempt to win approval in 2021.

Aquatectonic Install An Underground

He plans to remove 322 trees to build the development and to plant 438 replacement trees to absorb water and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Senor claimed that the landfill will absorb more water than the existing ground does now and that his conservative estimates showed that the development would decrease the overall run off to Cushman Road by about 5%.The road and detention system would be maintained by a private homeownerвЂ™s association.The developer supplied a tree analysis to show the effects of tree removal and replacement. Rather than pave the private road, they would use porous pavement over a 2-foot bed of gravel.They claim that the current water table is four feet below ground and propose to install an underground detention system to collect the water in 36 inch pipe sections. Details.Defined and designed an indoor lap and family pool with the aquatic team at Trace Pool Design (now AQUATECTONIC), to serve the community of the Northeast.In response to questions from Mott MacDonald, an engineer retained by the Village to review the plan, the developerвЂ™s Attorney Lucia Chiocchio of Cuddy and Feder and his Engineer Eliot Senor presented their latest plans on how the property could retain more water than it generated and to explain where excess water would drain.In their latest iteration, the builder is proposing to raise the grade of the seven acre site by four feet by hauling in truckloads of landfill and enclosing the site in a six foot retaining wall.

Although there will be an increase in the proportion of impervious cover, the increased amount of water reaching pervious surfaces will increase groundwater recharge causing the water table to be higher than it might otherwise be.вЂќPlanning Board Chair John Clapp said вЂњIn brief we are looking at a net increase of covered surface of 1.3 acres, an 18% increase in covered surfaces and the removal of 400 trees. But the proposed replacement of more mature trees with the proposed 3-inch DBH plantings will result in an increase in the amount of water that reaches the ground and a decrease in the amount of water taken up and transpired. It may be that the combined proposed diversions from eight new private wells, without any return of wastewater to the aquifer, would be sufficient to assure the Board that the proposed subdivision would not cause a long-term water table rise or otherwise exacerbate the problem. In that the neighboring properties suffer from wet basements it is not enough to target runoff alone. We are providing for a 100% impervious surface.вЂќHowever after reviewing the report, MacDonald concluded, вЂIn all, it appears that even if the assumptions and conceptual model that Garden Road site following rains from Idaunderlie this analysis were appropriate for this site, the community would have to wait more than a decade for relief from the increased runoff caused by the replacement of 322 existing trees (plus about 70 invasive maple trees) with 438 small replacement trees.About the water table MacDonald concluded, вЂњThe hydrologic analyses performed mostly focus on managing and reducing runoff but do little to address the impacts of the proposed work on the water table.

He said a summons has been issued.Another Planning Board member discussed the runoff. The original plan included a detention pond but there will no longer be a pond.вЂќSenor said вЂњWe have already removed some trees, brush and small saplings, but no trees about 6вЂќ DBH.вЂќLater at the meeting Village Engineer David Goessel said the developer had in fact removed 43 trees, 8 or which were larger trees that required a permit. This was originally a 13 lot subdivision and 4 homes have already been built on Cushman Road. He said, вЂњthe applicant will need to respond to Mott MacDonaldвЂ™s memo before the project can move forward.вЂќPlanning Board member Deb Pekarek asked for clarification on the site and was told, вЂњThe disturbance area is 5.2 acres and the total property is 7 acres which includes the house at 90 Garden Road.

We need 100 year storm analysis. I asked for an off-site drainage analysis. If you fill it in it could make the flooding higher.

I am disappointed that this is on the agenda again without all the pieces. There is no analysis to show whether itвЂ™s right or itвЂ™s wrong вЂ“there is nothing to review. Senor has to demonstrate that there will be no additional runoff.вЂќHe continued, вЂњOur consultant found no data for the claim of a 5% reduction. Many read from letters they had sent to the Planning Board to object to the development and you can read the letters here:A representative from Fenway Golf Club, which is downstream from Garden Road said that вЂњfive golf holes were impacted in the storm вЂ“ a lake was created on the golf courseвЂ¦. The pervious pavement deteriorates and needs to be maintained.вЂќThe public comments portion of the meeting extended well into the evening. There is only a one and half foot drainage pipe there now.вЂќA topographic map shows water from the Sheldrake River draining from Garden Road, past Cushman and Sheldrake, to Fenway Golf Course and down to Cayuga Road.About the porous pavement, MacDonald said, вЂњAs the years progress it will get less effective.

In raising the grade you create a host of other problems. His first floor was wrecked during the storm.вЂќGreg Fleisher and Environmental Engineer said, вЂњThe current site has very poor drainage. During Ida, water rushed down my clientвЂ™s driveway. They have not produced an updated SWIPPP (a stormwater pollution prevention plan) as is required by the Planning Board. There is incomplete information and deficient data. They should not increase pressure to the neighbors.вЂќA team of lawyers and engineers from Zarin and Steinmetz representing Bob Falk of 3 Willow Lane said, the engineerвЂ™s вЂњstatements are unsubstantiated.

Water goes downhill вЂ“it doesnвЂ™t make a difference how. Cushman Road is 30 feet higher than Cayuga Road. Protect the rest of the Village, not the developer.вЂќAnother Cayuga Road man said, вЂњOur street was devastated. The existing infrastructure is already inadequate. Our rights must be weighed against the rights of this developer. This will worsen conditions on Cushman Road вЂ“ excess water will jeopardize those properties.вЂќRobert Rieffel of Cayuga Road said, вЂњThere is little infrastructure built to accommodate all this water.

The water table is so high that we donвЂ™t need sprinklers. I am frightened for the children in the area. If we have more cars and buses, it is going to be scary. Garden Road is the Indianapolis speedway in the morning and at night. It is sad what is going on вЂ“ we have to save Scarsdale.вЂќGreg White from 44 Garden Road said, I have lived here for 30 years. There was a heck of a lot of water after the storm on Garden Road.
