City Council Meeting
7/2/19
Jennifer Leidig of Saratoga Springs stated they requested the Council pull the piece of property out
regarding the hospital from the UDO. She also read some notes from a letter from Theresa Capozzola, a
member of the Comprehensive Plan Committee. Theresa Capozzola states it is clear the neighbors don’t
want this project and the Comprehensive Plan should be a product of the citizens.
Angelo Calbone of Saratoga Springs and CEO of the hospital stated the hospital has been evaluating the
property they recently purchased for a number of years. The DA Collins family had been patient waiting for
the hospital to make the purchase as they contacted the hospital and asked if they are going to purchase it
be done this year otherwise they are going to move on.
Dennis Holte of Saratoga Springs stated he sent a letter to the mayor and the commissioners with video
links from the Comprehensive Plan Committee. The agenda from the November 17, 2017 meeting did not
mention discussion about the hospital or Morgan Street rezoning. He asked the full time deputies to look
at all the agendas and tell him where it is mentioned in the agenda.
Craig Klotz of Collins Terrace stated he stands against the rezoning of parcel 1. The process has been
flawed from the beginning and there has been a lack of transparency by the Comprehensive Plan
Committee.
Barbara Holte submitted a letter from a neighbor that couldn’t be here.
Claudia Braimer, attorney for neighbors going by the name of Saratoga Concerned Neighbors. She
pointed out the Comprehensive Plan and the future land use map still says one of the options for parcel #1
is residential zoning. They are asking the Council to reject any change and leave it as residential. It is
clear the hospital wants to develop the property at some point even though there is no formal application in
front of the City at this time. Until the time the hospital comes forward with their plans, this parcel should
remain residential.
Chris Mathiesen of Saratoga Springs stated he believes the City Council did not pay enough attention to
parcel 1 when they voted on this in 2015. It is important to put the neighborhoods first and would like to
see the Council bring this back for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
Alice Smith of Saratoga Springs stated it was a big mistake when it was initially introduced into the
Comprehensive Plan. The City council has taken a stand that this parcel cannot be separated from the
Comprehensive Plan; that is not true. They are asking to revise one parcel in the City.
Matt Jones, attorney for the hospital, stated the Comprehensive Plan Committee was unanimous in
recommending the change to the Comprehensive Plan. The City Council was unanimous in adopting the
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and then the Planning Board was unanimous in issuing a
negative SEQRA declaration and its recommendation to the City Council for a change of zoning which
would provide for a medical office building.
Mary Carr of Saratoga Springs stated it is important to remind the doctors that they are to do no harm.
Building on their land is doing harm to the people, residents, and City of Saratoga Springs.
Mayor Kelly closed the public comment period at 7:24 p.m.
