[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Lake Success 4-10-2006 by L.L. No. 1-2006. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Flood damage prevention — See Ch. A113.
The purpose of this chapter is to establish minimum stormwater management requirements and controls to protect and safeguard the general health, safety, and welfare of the public residing within this jurisdiction and to address the findings of fact in § 87-1 hereof. This chapter seeks to meet those purposes by achieving the following objectives:
In accordance with Article 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York, the Village Board of Trustees of Lake Success has the authority to enact local laws and amend local laws and for the purpose of promoting the health, safety or general welfare of the Village of Lake Success and for the protection and enhancement of its physical environment. The Village Board of Trustees of Lake Success may include in any such local law provisions for the appointment of any municipal officer, employees, or independent contractor to effectuate, administer and enforce such local law.
This local law shall be applicable to all land development activities as defined in § 87-6.
Upon approval by the Village Board of Trustees of the Village of Lake Success, engage the services of a registered professional engineer to review the plans, specifications and related documents at a cost not to exceed a fee schedule established by said governing board; or
All land development activities subject to review and approval by the Planning Board of the Village of Lake Success under subdivision, site plan, and/or special permit regulations shall be reviewed subject to the standards contained in this chapter.
Any part of a subdivision if a plat for the subdivision has been approved by the Village of Lake Success on or before the effective date of this chapter.
Land development activities as defined in § 87-6 and meeting Condition A, B or C below shall also include water quantity and water quality controls (post-construction stormwater runoff controls) as set forth in Subsection B(3) below as applicable:
Comparison of post-development stormwater runoff conditions with pre-development conditions;
Inspection and maintenance agreement binding on all subsequent landowners served by the on-site stormwater management measures in accordance with § 87-9.
Plan certification. The SWPPP shall be prepared by a landscape architect, certified professional or professional engineer and must be signed by the professional preparing the plan, who shall certify that the design of all stormwater management practices meet the requirements in this chapter.
The applicant or developer or his/her representative shall be on site at all times when construction or grading activity takes place and shall inspect and document the effectiveness of all erosion and sediment control practices. Inspection reports shall be completed every seven days and within 24 hours of any storm event producing 0.5 inch of precipitation or more. The reports shall be delivered to the Stormwater Management Officer and also copied to the site log book.
Maintenance easement(s). Prior to the issuance of any approval that has a stormwater management facility as one of the requirements, the applicant or developer must execute a maintenance easement agreement that shall be binding on all subsequent landowners served by the stormwater management facility. The easement shall provide for access to the facility at reasonable times for periodic inspection by the Village of Lake Success to ensure that the facility is maintained in proper working condition to meet design standards and any other provisions established by this chapter. The easement shall be recorded by the grantor in the office of the County Clerk after approval by the counsel for the Village of Lake Success.
Discharges from the SMPs shall not exceed design criteria or cause or contribute to water quality standard violations in accordance with § 87-8B.
Maintenance agreements. The Village of Lake Success shall approve a formal maintenance agreement for stormwater management facilities binding on all subsequent landowners and recorded in the office of the County Clerk as a deed restriction on the property prior to final plan approval. The maintenance agreement shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of Schedule B of this chapter, entitled "Sample Stormwater Control Facility Maintenance Agreement."[1] The Village of Lake Success, in lieu of a maintenance agreement, at its sole discretion may accept dedication of any existing or future stormwater management facility, provided such facility meets all the requirements of this chapter and includes adequate and perpetual access and sufficient area, by easement or otherwise, for inspection and regular maintenance.
The Village of Lake Success Stormwater Management Officer may require such inspections as are necessary to determine compliance with this chapter and may either approve that portion of the work completed or notify the applicant wherein the work fails to comply with the requirements of this chapter and the stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) as approved. To obtain inspections, the applicant shall notify the Village of Lake Success enforcement official at least 48 hours before any of the following as required by the Stormwater Management Officer:
Stormwater management practice inspections. The Village of Lake Success Stormwater Management Officer is responsible for conducting inspections of stormwater management practices (SMPs). All applicants are required to submit "as built" plans for any stormwater management practices located on site after final construction is completed. The plan must show the final design specifications for all stormwater management facilities and must be certified by a professional engineer.
Submission of reports. The Village of Lake Success Stormwater Management Officer may require monitoring and reporting from entities subject to this chapter as are necessary to determine compliance with this chapter.
Right-of-entry for inspection. When any new stormwater management facility is installed on private property or when any new connection is made between private property and the public stormwater system, the landowner shall grant to the Village of Lake Success the right to enter the property at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner for the purpose of inspection as specified in Subsection C.
Construction completion guarantee. In order to ensure the full and faithful completion of all land development activities related to compliance with all conditions set forth by the Village of Lake Success in its approval of the stormwater pollution prevention plan, the Village of Lake Success may require the applicant or developer to provide, prior to construction, a performance bond, cash escrow, or irrevocable letter of credit from an appropriate financial or surety institution which guarantees satisfactory completion of the project and names the Village of Lake Success as the beneficiary. The security shall be in an amount to be determined by the Village of Lake Success based on submission of final design plans, with reference to actual construction and landscaping costs. The performance guarantee shall remain in force until the surety is released from liability by the Village of Lake Success, provided that such period shall not be less than one year from the date of final acceptance or such other certification that the facility(ies) have been constructed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and that a one-year inspection has been conducted and the facilities have been found to be acceptable to the Village of Lake Success. Per-annum interest on cash escrow deposits shall be reinvested in the account until the surety is released from liability.
Maintenance guarantee. Where stormwater management and erosion and sediment control facilities are to be operated and maintained by the developer or by a corporation that owns or manages a commercial or industrial facility, the developer, prior to construction, may be required to provide the Village of Lake Success with an irrevocable letter of credit from an approved financial institution or surety to ensure proper operation and maintenance of all stormwater management and erosion control facilities both during and after construction, and until the facilities are removed from operation. If the developer or landowner fails to properly operate and maintain stormwater management and erosion and sediment control facilities, the Village of Lake Success may draw upon the account to cover the costs of proper operation and maintenance, including engineering and inspection costs.
Record keeping. The Village of Lake Success may require entities subject to this chapter to maintain records demonstrating compliance with this chapter.
Notice of violation. When the Village of Lake Success determines that a land development activity is not being carried out in accordance with the requirements of this chapter, it may issue a written notice of violation to the landowner. The notice of violation shall contain:
Stop-work orders. The Village of Lake Success may issue a stop-work order for violations of this chapter. Persons receiving a stop-work order shall be required to halt all land development activities, except those activities that address the violations leading to the stop-work order. The stop-work order shall be in effect until the Village of Lake Success confirms that the land development activity is in compliance and the violation has been satisfactorily addressed. Failure to address a stop-work order in a timely manner may result in civil, criminal, or monetary penalties in accordance with the enforcement measures authorized in this chapter.
Restoration of lands. Any violator may be required to restore land to its undisturbed condition. In the event that restoration is not undertaken within a reasonable time after notice, the Village of Lake Success may take necessary corrective action, the cost of which shall become a lien upon the property until paid.
The Village of Lake Success may require any person undertaking land development activities regulated by this chapter to pay reasonable costs at prevailing rates for review of SWPPPs, inspections, or SMP maintenance performed by the Village of Lake Success or performed by a third party for the Village of Lake Success.
