4. Referral—615 Fifth Avenue— Safeguard Storage
At the Coastal Zone Management Commission (CZMC) meeting on September 25, 2017,
David P. Lombardi, James Caris and Stanley Bonilla presented the proposal to construct
a new 4-story, self-storage facility at 615 Fifth Avenue. The site is currently occupied by
a warehouse and a parking lot. The Pinebrook River flows below the parking area in a
large box culvert and occasionally floods. The property is located in the 100-year flood
plain in zone "A", where flood elevations have not been determined.
In order to decrease stormwater runoff, the new structure will have a smaller footprint
than the existing building, resulting in a reduction in the amount of impervious cover on
site. In addition, the applicant will install some pervious pavers, a blue roof (rooftop
storage of stormwater) and a water quality treatment unit. Because the building is in a
flood zone, the foundation will be waterproofed. Entry doors will be protected by flood
gates in anticipation of a rain event. Prior to and post-construction, the Pine Brook
culvert will be inspected. Any residual soil contamination encountered during
construction associated with the closed spill from 2001 will be managed following a
protocol to be prepared by the applicant.
CZMC and the applicant discussed alternatives to further mitigate potential flooding for
the proposed building. Following a review of various alternatives, the applicant agreed to
install a ramp in the loading dock to effectively raise the elevation by 1 foot. This change
would make the loading dock, which is the entry point that is most susceptible to
flooding, more resilient.
Provided that the modification of the loading dock is incorporated in the site plan, CZMC
found the proposed action to be consistent with the policies in the LWRP.
5. LWRP Update
On August 23rd, Elizabeth Paul presented the LWRP to both the Town and Village
Boards. A number of comments were submitted that were substantive. These will be
addressed in the document and a redlined version will be recirculated.
6. Old Business
No Old Business to discuss.
7. New Business
Winged Foot Golf Club is submitting an application for the replacement of its
maintenance facility. A site visit has been scheduled for October 16th at 5:00 pm to meet
Jim Diermeier, the club's horticulturalist followed by a tour of the Maintenance Facility.
AT&T has expressed an interest in erecting a cell phone tower at Bonnie Briar Country
Club. If this moves forward, the application will be referred to CZMC.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
