Preserve existing vegetation and establish new indigenous vegetation to enhance scenic quality: 1. Preserve existing vegetation which contributes to the scenic quality of the landscape. 2. Allow for selective clearing of vegetation to provide public views without impairing values associated with the affected vegetation. Protect visual quality associated with public lands, including public transportation routes, public parks and public trust lands and waters.

Maintain or restore original landforms except where altered landforms provide useful screening or contribute to scenic quality. 2. Group or orient structures during site design to preserve open space and provide visual organization. 3. Avoid structures or activities which introduce visual interruptions to natural landscapes including: a. introduction of intrusive artificial light sources b. fragmentation of and structural intrusion into open space areas c. changes to the continuity and configuration of natural shorelines and associated vegetation.

Box 536 Laurel, NY 11948 Dear Charlie: I have inspected the site for the new building to determine the need for runoff management. The building site location is within the farmstead area and the increase in runoff does not pose a threat to adjacent properties or surface waters nor will it come in contact with any agricultural land. However it is recommended that the runoff be controlled as it comes off the roof as clean runoff and thus eliminate any potential for any negative impacts to ground water. Since the building is a Quonset hut type structure, gutters and downspouts are not appropriate. Therefore I would recommend that drip trenches be constructed along each side of the building. Each trench should be the width of a backhoe bucket and should be excavated until you reach clean sand. The trench should then be filled with bank nm sand to a height 1 ft. below the ground surface. The remaining depth should be filled with 1 inch rock to allow rapid infiltration of the roof runoff. If you have questions or need further assistance with this project please give me a call.
