WHEREAS, the Village Board of Trustees authorized the solicitation of bids for the provision of labor and materials for a public works project which consists primarily of the replacement of existing drainage improvements which run from the Soldiers and Sailors Park and connects to the Bedford Road (Westchester County Road 27) drainage system (the “Clark Street and Soldiers and Sailors Park Drainage Improvement Project”) and specifically includes the following scope of work:
·Installation of approximately 800 linear feet of new/proposed 6 inch and 12 inch diameter underdrain piping within Soldiers and Sailors Park to improve field drainage, and reduce recreational programmatic downtime.
·Installation of approximately 825 linear feet of proposed 12, 15 and 18 inch diameter storm sewer within Soldiers and Sailors Park, its parking area and Clark Street to eliminate and/or mitigate field and adjacent property flooding conditions by efficiently conveying stormwater runoff and groundwater from the playing field, parking area and Clark Street to the Bedford Road existing drainage system.
·Installation of 5 proposed catch basins (1 structure to be replaced within the parking area and 4 new drainage catch basins within Clark Street) to effectively capture runoff within the parking area and Clark Street, and convey this stormwater downstream via underground structures and piping to the Bedford Road storm sewer; the 4 proposed Clark Street catch basins are designed to mitigate roadway icing during winter months, and capture the large volume of surface runoff from Clark Street; Clark Street does not have a drainage system to collect and convey surface runoff to the Bedford Road drainage system; and
WHEREAS, the Clark Street and Soldiers and Sailors Park Drainage Improvement Project is a Type II action pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) 6 NYCRR 617.5(c)(1) and (2); and
WHEREAS, the Village Board is fully familiar with the scope of the Clark Street and Soldiers and Sailors Park Drainage Improvement Project.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village Board, in accordance with 6 NYCRR Part 617 hereby classifies the Clark Street and Soldiers and Sailors Park Drainage Improvement Project as a Type II Action pursuant to SEQRA and therefore no further environmental review is required.
