Flooding issues

MacMillan said school representatives met with residents of the Pine Hill neighborhood, near the campus, to discuss previous flooding issues in their homes. More meetings are scheduled.

"Engineers tell me building the dorm would actually help resolve the current problem," he said.[/list][/size]

Hyde School dorm review pushed back

Published: Monday, October 31, 2011 2:08 PM EDT

BATH — Review by the Planning Board of a site plan application submitted by the Hyde School to build a new dormitory on its High Street campus has been rescheduled for Nov. 15, City Planner Andrew Deci announced earlier this week, in order to allow additional time for staff review of revisions to the plan.

At its meeting on Tuesday, the board is still scheduled to continue discussion of wireless communications, and then consider approval of a site plan application submitted by Bath Iron Works.

The board will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

The city of Bath is digging in its feet a lil more... Approval is tabled 'till Hyde can come up with some satisfactory solution for "mitigat[ing] storm water flow."

Btw, the below article is wrong about the old "New Dorm" as having been built in 1975. This dorm could NOT have been built any later than 1972.

BATH — Hyde School's plan to build a new dormitory ran into a speed bump Tuesday at the Planning Board.

The private high school's request for site plan approval was tabled while the board awaits more information on how Hyde will mitigate storm water flow from the new building into the city's combined sewer system.

Bath Public Works Director Peter Owen will work with project consultants on that plan, which is expected to return to the Planning Board on Dec. 6.

The 17,000-square-foot building would replace an existing dorm built in 1975, which Hyde Chief Financial Officer Alyssa Hemingway said has "met and exhausted its useful life."

The Campus Drive building would house up to 56 students in 28 rooms, and have four faculty apartments. The capacity of the existing dorm – demolition of which could begin next June – is 34 students and two faculty apartments, Hemingway said.

The new dorm could be complete by spring 2013.

Town Planner Andrew Deci noted in a memo to the Planning Board that the replacement dorm would increase the intensity of use on the property. Increased sewage flow would be one impact, while the control of storm water on the site would be another issue.

"Exclusive of some issues related to storm water management, the applicant has resolved the concerns that staff has," Deci said.

Prior development and the site's topography have limited opportunities to treat and retain storm water there, Deci explained. The site plan would direct the water to the south, toward Academy Green, where it flows to a combined sewer system.

While there is currently capacity to treat day-to-day waste water volume in dry weather conditions, Bath's sewer collection system suffers from storm water inflow during rain storms, which clogs the pipeline system and causes flooding.
