Board schedules hearing for conversion of 77 Livingston Avenue to a two‑family; engineering questions remain
Summary
The board called a public hearing for the proposed conversion of 77 Livingston Avenue from a single‑family to a two‑family residence; the village engineer asked for revised stormwater sizing and drainage details and the board requested the applicant address engineering comments before the hearing.
The Planning Board reviewed a pre‑submission for 77 Livingston Avenue, a proposed conversion from a single‑family house to a two‑family residence. The applicant described interior changes including a new lower‑level apartment entrance, revised egress windows, and a small patio to serve the new unit. The applicant indicated the exterior envelope is largely unchanged aside from two window openings to meet egress for the new unit.
Engineering questions and stormwater: Anthony (village engineer) said the stormwater sizing in the applicant’s materials appeared to be sized for a lower design storm (water quality storm) and requested the applicant revise sizing for the 25‑year (and guidance) storm and clarify how the patio will drain; porous pavers or additional dry wells were discussed as options. Anthony said the submittal should demonstrate the patio and roof drain routing will not impact the lower property. Planning staff and the board asked the applicant to address those engineering comments before the public hearing.
Outcome: the board called for a public hearing at the next meeting, conditioned on the applicant coordinating with engineering and resolving the listed stormwater questions. The board will include engineering review in the public hearing packet so neighbors can review the technical responses.
