Planning Board closes public hearing on Newburgh Shoppes Phase III; engineers must address stormwater and permitting
Summary
The board closed the public hearing on a proposed self-storage development (Phase III) at Newburgh Shoppes after the applicant described stormwater basins designed to exceed DEC standards; town consultants requested DEC stream-crossing permits, City of Newburgh sewer acceptance, infiltration testing and other technical updates.
Jerame Secaras of Langan Engineering summarized Newburgh Shoppes Phase III: a multi-phase project that includes a three-story climate-controlled self-storage building and one-story conventional storage buildings. Secaras said the current proposal reduces previously approved building area and includes three stormwater basins designed to provide more than the state-required water-quality volume.
"They exceed New York State DEC requirements," Secaras said, adding that the water quality design provides greater than 110% of the required water-quality volume and that conveyances were sized for a 25-year storm.
Town consultant Pat Hines described outstanding technical items requiring resolution before final approval: DEC stream-crossing permits for two access points; City of Newburgh flow-acceptance for sewer; stormwater facility maintenance agreements; and percolation/infiltration testing for basins intended to infiltrate stormwater. MHE also requested culvert sizing calculations, limits-of-disturbance mapping, and confirmation that lighting is dark-sky compliant.
There were no members of the public who offered comments at the hearing. The board closed the public hearing and the applicant acknowledged they will resubmit materials and the 45-day decision clock will be suspended while staff reviews technical responses.
