Project Background
Menteth Drive Redevelopment: Modern Living on Canandaigua Lake The Menteth Drive project showcases Costich Engineering’s ability to balance residential redevelopment with environmental and regulatory complexity. Located within the Canandaigua Lake watershed and mapped floodplain, the site required careful planning, permitting, and multi-agency coordination to ensure compliance while achieving the client’s vision for a modern lakeside property.
Survey, Engineering, and Landscape Architecture Services Our multidisciplinary team provided comprehensive surveying, civil engineering, and landscape architecture services. Initial phases included demolition of the existing residence and garage, followed by design and construction of a larger lakeside home and accessory storage barn. Landscape architecture elements were integrated into the site plan to complement the lakefront setting while supporting functional drainage and access.
Overcoming Environmental and Regulatory Challenges The site’s location within a regulated floodplain required permitting through the Town of Canandaigua, the Canandaigua Lake Watershed Commission, and the New York State Department of Health. A critical component involved redesigning the septic system to meet updated wastewater regulations within the site’s spatial constraints. Our engineers coordinated with municipal reviewers to secure approvals for septic design, floodplain development, and zoning variances, ensuring the project could proceed without delay.
Successful Completion Costich oversaw construction documentation, observation, and SWPPP compliance throughout the project. The new home, accessory barn, and site systems were delivered in conformance with approved designs, providing the client with a modern, resilient residence that enhances the Canandaigua Lake shoreline.
