Subject: SP 2015 -001 Roslyn Farm — Special Events — initial zoning comments
Please consider the following comments:
If you have duplicative comments then please disregard mine.
1. Provide documentation from the Health Department regarding the private water supply and the
onsite sewage system that will serve the proposed special event site, the ability of the water
supply and the onsite sewage system to handle the proposed events, and any need to improve
the supply or the system in order to handle the proposed events. Any improvements needed
should be incorporated into a condition.
2. The narrative describes parallel parking and I did not see that on the plan. Please clarify.
3. The parking areas shall be screened from abutting parcels by topography, structures or new or
existing landscaping. I looks like additional screening along the property line shared with TMP
61 -2D and along the southern side of the new access road being proposed will be needed.
4. Provide a note to the plan that the grass parking areas shall be reseeded yearly or as
determined by the zoning administrator.
5. The concept plan should show locations for directional signage that directs exiting guests to
the entrance /exit on Roslyn Ridge Rd. That said, having a gate at the farm /residential
entrance on Roslyn Heights Road should be considered.
6. The narrative describes lighting to be used. Show the areas where the lighting will be provided
and provide a note to the plan that all new lighting will comply with the requirements of Section
4.17.
7. Label the setbacks on the plan. The area is shown with dotted lines but there is no label noting
what the distances are. Front 75' Side 25' and Rear 35'. The rear is superseded by the 100'
stream buffer that should be shown on the concept plan as well.
8. A condition that there shall be no outdoor amplified music will be needed.
9. As noted in the narrative regarding sound attenuation there should be a condition for use of in
house sound equipment that will limits DBs with some sort of built -in governor on sound output.
In addition to this there should always be someone onsite with a sound meter and that person
should be accessible by phone to the neighbors. An appropriate condition can be formulated
for this.
10. As noted in the narrative all amplified sound should be cutoff after 10pm. I would think that all
events should end by 12am.
11. It is recommended that they ask the BOS to waive the requirement of a site plan.
12. It is recommended that a condition be provided that the site be used for special events in
general accord with the conceptual plan drawn by DESIGN ENVIRONS CORPORATION dated
1/19/2015 and revised ...
(I believe that the date on the plan should have been 2015 and not 2014)
13. The additional fee for the special exceptions to modify Section 5 is needed. That fee is $425.
