WHAT IS THE NYS BOA PROGRAM?

The Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) Program is funded through the NYS Department of State (DOS)

Three Step Program (generally) The BOA Program helps communities with

brownfield sites to overcome obstacles to redevelopment and revitalization

A brownfield is any site where redevelopment or re-use is complicated or challenged by prior land use.

THE BOA PROCESS

Step IIIImplementation Strategy: Full range of techniques and actions, identify timeframe of projects, site assessments of brownfields (Current Step –BOA Step III)

Step II

Nomination: Thorough description and analysis including existing conditions, economic and market trends, opportunities, identification of strategic sites, initial reuse potential (Completed in 2012 and BOA Designated by NYS in 2015)

Step IPre-Nomination Study: Preliminary analysis of the study area (Not required by DOS for The Orchard Neighborhood/Sea Cliff Avenue Corridor)

5

ORCHARD/SEA CLIFF AVENUE CORRIDORBOA HISTORY

Step II was completed in 2012 and the Coles School Addendum was completed in 2013

The Brownfield Opportunity Area was designated by NYS in December of 2015

Nelson, Pope & Voorhis hired as the lead consultant with a team of professionals (Nelson & Pope, Gedeon Consulting Engineers, Roux Associates, and Urbanomics) to assist in the BOA Step III Implementation Strategy

Commenced work in the fall of 2015

City/CDA outreach to potential developers

Redevelopment concepts/parking and zoning analyses

Cost benefit analysis

Phase I ESA

Environmental remediation estimates

Identified desired development strategy

Assisted City in applications (with Tiegerman Schools), preparation of subdivision plan, and SEQRA

All assistance related to preservation and reuse of the school building and sale of the property

PALL CORP SUPERFUND SITE

Performed cost benefit analysis Advised City on architecture and status of

environmental remediation Meetings with DEC, DOH, City and

Daycare Identified need for access easement to

Daycare property with a sidewalk which is designed into the plan

Achieved better plan for the City Planning Board approved Site Plan in July

PHOTOCIRCUITS/PASS & SEYMOUR SUPERFUND SITES

Advanced BOA Step II Recommendations for Regional Commercial Center

Cost benefit analysis Review DOT approval of interchange

modifications Prepared I-2 District Code Amendments:

allow for Regional Commercial Center with large-scale anchor and multiple tenant and pad sites;

not competitive with downtown; and direct access from arterial required.

15

THE ORCHARD NEIGHBORHOOD

Orchard Neighborhood Residential Incentive Overlay District (RIO-ON) adopted in 2010 to encourage redevelopment in the neighborhood

Since then only one redevelopmentproject has been implemented –Carney Street Apartments

Currently RIO-ON requires a minimum lot area of 15,000 SF (3 typical lots) to achieve incentives

Analysis of option for 2 typical lots and prepared draft RIO-ON code amendment

The intent is to promote private redevelopment within the Orchard Neighborhood by refining the existing RIO-ON

ANALYSIS OF TOD AT THE GLEN STREET STATION

Private property – currently a gym (Retro Fitness) with long term lease

Site is nearly 2 acres in size and there is additional +/-13,500 SF within the MTA/LIRR ROW

Economic analysis identified feasibility of redevelopment with residential and small amount of commercial

Ideally would include pedestrian connection from north end of Hazel Street (would require easement across National Grid property)

19

TOD SITE ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATIONS

Analysis of possible redevelopment options: Meetings with MTA and

LIRR – potential for TOD which utilizes LIRR parking lot (MTA supports the concept for TOD)

Conceptual design analyzed

Identified the level of development required to achieve economic return with workforce housing component

Recommendations: Extension of RIO-ON District

to encompass the area adjacent to the Train Station to encourage private redevelopment in the future with a TOD

Amendments to the RIO-ON District Code: Permit higher residential

density Apply to larger sites within

the RIO-ON proximate to the Glen Street Station

Require workforce housing (30% of units affordable at 30%-80% of AMI)

Redevelopment could occur without the MTA parking 20

RECOMMENDED ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS 21

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE

A stormwater treatment practice that utilizes the chemical, biological, and physical properties of plants, microbes, and soils for managing stormwater runoff and removing pollutants from runoff.

Rain gardens are used for reducing pollutants in stormwater prior to recharge that also provide an attractive feature in the landscape.

NP&V performed a sub-watershed assessment to identify potential green infrastructure projects within the Study Area which provides cost estimates and benefits of projects.

Product is a report signed and sealed by an engineer which can be used in applying for funding for improvements.

12

TRANSPORTATION STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS(GEDEON ENGINEERING)

Improve pedestrian access between neighborhoods and LIRR Stations and the Daycare.

Provide adequate off-street parking for new developments

Initiate a program to upgrade existing curb ramps for accessibility and install new sidewalk sections where absent.

23

TRANSPORTATION STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS(GEDEON ENGINEERING)

Convert Stanco Street to two-way operation to eliminate necessity for northbound drivers to use Capobianco Street.

Update streetlight system to LED - increases efficiency through lower wattages, decreasing outages & maintenance costs due to longer lamp life.

EXISTING CITY OWNED PARKING LOT ON CAPOBIANCO STREET

25

ANALYSIS OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY ON CAPOBIANCO STREET

Existing 14 stall parking lot posted as Tenant parking only owned by the City but not regulated per City Code

Cost Benefit and Zoning Analysis for reuse:

Zoning permits one single family home with relief required (lot is undersized) and therefore would not generate large return for the City

Police Department provided field assistance regarding its use and found is generally used by residents in the area though not all are tenants of the apartment building
