Neighbors press Storm King project on drainage, SWIP and flood risk
Summary
Multiple residents told the planning board they have experienced flooding and urged detailed stormwater verification; town reviewers said the project’s SWIP and impervious-cover calculations are under detailed review.
Several residents told the board that recent site changes at the lower portion of the golf course have altered local hydrology and increased flooding risk. "My property has been flooded several times by the golf course since they started construction," one resident said and pressed the applicant to show where emergency overflow paths are and to confirm that the project will reduce impervious cover.
Town consultants said the site’s SWIP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan) has been submitted and is under detailed review. One reviewer noted the SWIP covers the entire site rather than only the upper-clubhouse parcels and that revisions are being checked against New York State DEC standards. The board deferred final action pending written confirmations of impervious-area calculations, the SWIP review results, and a clear plan for emergency overflows and ditching that would protect downstream properties.
