The applicant was advised to complete the lot line adjustment prior to any further action, It is the City's process prior to property transactions that all zoning and requirements are met and to not conflict with the City's policies. Applicant moved forward with the conveyance of property and merging with subject parcel. The lot line adjustment included the conveyance of Faiola 179.29-2.-13.1 and merged with portion to Doyle 179.29-2-13.31, and portion to adjacent Faiola parcel 179.29-2-15. Proposed 3 lot subdivision is under Mr. Doyle's ownership. Applicant: James Doyle Agent: Dan Wheeler City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Minutes – September 27, 2011- Page 4 of 11 Mr. Doyle gave a brief overview of the project. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated that the applicant wants to create three lots one is 9,300 square feet, the second is 7500 square feet and the third is 7500 square feet. This is a UR-2 district which requires 6600 square feet as the minimum square footage for lots. You exceed that. The Zoning Code states that you need a 60 foot minimum width and you have 60, 60 and 74. So, all the zoning has been met. The reason you are here for a subdivision approval is you are increasing the density taking one lot into three. Bradley Birge, Administrator, Planning and Economic Development stated the City Engineer's notes indicate the subdivision plan water line appears to be incorrect – no water main at this location. The Department of Public Works indicates the water main runs from Gridley Street north to the City's pump station and end in this general vicinity. There is no know main to serve building lots as shown on the subdivision plans. As such, the developer will be required to extend the main north from pump station and provide a hydrant at the terminus. site which is to be removed. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if there were any questions or comments from the Board. None heard. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to comment on the Doyle subdivision application. Roy Learman, 39 Gridley Street. A copy of the plans were provided to the neighbor. Mr. Learman asked regarding the infrastructure improvements the storm sewers, the public sewer and sanitary sewer and the water line. Who proposed to pay for that improvement? Mr. Doyle stated that depending on the input from the City Engineer. If the City Engineer stated that dry wells were acceptable I would put them self contained on site. If they elected to go with the sanitary sewer it would not be a big project since the pumping station is close by. However, the storm sewer from all indications would run to Crescent Street. If that is the case I would certainly go to the southern most end of that property. I would pay from my property to Crescent Street. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated in the past when there are minor engineering issues outstanding such as connections and things like that, this Board never questions the City Engineer. We have been known in the past to approve a project contingent upon final comments from the Engineer. I feel we have a few unknows here regarding sewer, water, and drainage. Perhaps Mr. Doyle can sit down with the City Engineer and staff before we resolve this. There is no one here with any opposition to the subdivision issue present. All zoning requirements are met. The Planning Board is more concerned with the infrastructure issues. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if there were any comments or questions from the Board. Amy Durland asked the applicant if they have street trees and street lights noted on the plan. Mr. Doyle, stated we do have two beautiful pines which are currently there. Prior to the addition of any further trees we would like to check sewer and water lines. I will be happy to put lights and trees per the City standard. Philip Klein asked if there was any screening planned for the neighbor to the south on Lot #1 which overlooks the horse barn. City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Minutes – September 27, 2011- Page 5 of 11 Mr. Doyle stated he believes this is part of the ambiance. Due to the size of the lot I may decide to keep that home for myself. There will be arbovitae staggered along the fence and this will be done here on both sides of the fence line. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if there were any other questions or comments from the Board. None heard. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if anyone else in the audience wished to comment on this application. Todd Sirillo, 134 Crescent Street questioned the garage placement. The applicant clarified Mr. Sirillo's area of concern. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated there will be another opportunity to speak when the applicant returns to the Board. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated we will review the application, and ask Mr. Doyle to speak with staff and the City Engineer and return to the Board with the issues regarding the infrastructure, lights, sidewalks and curbs. The Board will meet again in two weeks. 6. 11.040 LANDS OF LEAFARC, 53-63 Spring Street, special use permit for mixed use building in the Transect-5 Neighborhood Center District. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated in September 2011 a Special Use Permit for proposed construction of first floor 2100 sq. ft retail space, second floor 2300 sq. ft residential space (one residential unit) and a third floor 500 sq ft for mechanical equipment for both floors. The project includes combining the two lots and maintaining the existing two-story office building at 53 Spring Street. If the Special Use Permit is approved this evening it will require Site Plan Review by this Board and need DRC approval. SEQRA: This is a Type II action. Applicant: Gloria and Anthony Swiatek Agent: John Muse, Muse Architect Architect: Jason Tommell and Jeremy Schneible, Tommell and Associates DISCLOSURE: Jason Tommell stated he is on the City of Saratoga Springs Design Review Board as an alternate. He is not here tonight in that official capacity. Mr. Tommell stated the applicants are here this evening requesting a Permanent Special Use Permit for the construction of a two story building. The first floor 2100 sq feet retail space and second floor 2300 sq feet residential space. This property is located across the street from Congress Park and is in an Urban Residential Area which is somewhat challenging. We meet the specific requirements of a T-5 zone, so scale, appropriateness, rhythm and character of the neighborhood is critically important especially being directly across the street from Congress Park and next to the Bread Basket. City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Minutes – September 27, 2011- Page 6 of 11 Mr. Muse stated the Swiateck's would like to build a two story building. Mr. Swiateck is one of the more renowned coin experts in the world. His wife a former banker from New York City have moved here and would like to open a coin consulting business and shop on the first floor. The second floor will provide an apartment for them to live. They own this building and also the building on the corner. The applicants would like to place a driveway between the properties to a shared parking area in the back of the building for both properties. Mr. Muse gave a brief overview of the project. Slide presentation was made. Jason Tommell continued with some of the issues facing this project as well as concerns of the Board. Primary access will be off of Spring Street with a secondary access drive and the existing access drive servicing the Bread Basket. Porous pavement is proposed in the parking area. The site statistics identify 4 parking spaces required – 3 for first floor retail and 1.5 for the one residential unit on the second floor. A total of 11 spaces including one handicap space provided. Storm water management was discussed as well as lighting. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated the plans are well done. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if there were any questions or comments from the Board. Amy Durland asked what is the SEQRA status of this application. Bradley Birge, Administrator, Planning and Economic Development stated staff looked at that and also consulted with our special counsel as well. We identified it as SEQRA Type II action, requiring no additional SEQRA evaluation for that. It is actually two components both of which are specific Type II actions. The non residential, the construction expansion of non residential activities less than 4,000 square feet which would be the first floor retail section of this project is a Type II action requiring no further action. The residential unit on the second floor is also a Type II action also identified as a one, two or three family residences. Even though combined they are both individually and collectively Type II actions there is no additional SEQRA review for them. Amy Durland stated what she is questioning is the Jones Ferradino Letter which was distributed prior to the meeting which indicates that the property is substantially contiguous to two national register of historic places properties, Congress Park and the Bread Basket property and therefore would invoke a Type I SEQRA review. Bradley Birge, Administrator, Planning and Economic Development stated they are correct it is adjacent to a National Register Property, Congress Park which is also a City Landmark Property as well as being in the historic district next to the Bread Basket. However, coordinated review is only begun or commenced when in fact there is SEQRA review. So if you are a Type II action, you can't thrust it into a Type I action if there is no SEQRA review necessary in the beginning. If it were an unlisted action, if adjacency would cause it to be transferred to a Type I action, which would then require coordinated review. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if there are any further questions or comments from the Board. None heard. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to comment on this application. Libby Coreno. I am the author of the letter that was referred to by Ms. Durland. We would just reiterate our position in the letter that in fact there are other provisions in SEQRA that specifically deal with an action that would be Type II which would otherwise be a Type II but cannot function as a Type II because of what is addressed in 617.4; and 617.5 which says you cannot have a Type II if it would otherwise be considered a Type I. So, that is what we are relying on and I offer that out as a follow up statement. City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Minutes – September 27, 2011- Page 7 of 11 Amy Durland asked if Jones Ferradino represents the Bread Basket. Libby Coreno stated they represent the Bread Basket which is the immediate adjacent easterly neighbor. Amy Durland asked if your client has concerns about this project. Libby Coreno stated yes we do. Tonight we are here really because I understand the SEQRA was the issue before the Board. That is what we are raising but certainly there are issues that were addressed in 2006 and 2008 which as the Chairman pointed out are somewhat different because of the size difference of the project. There are other issues and I think Mr. Tommell adequately addressed that with respect to ingress and egress, an extra curb cut and a number of things substantively that my client would have addressed but certainly the foremost issues was SEQRA. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated I spoke with Brad and he specifically reached out to Mark Schachner to address this issue knowing that it would be questioned tonight. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if there were any other questions or concerns from the Board regarding Special Use only. Amy Durland stated any remaining questions that we may have about the parking and about access to the parking lot would all be addressed at site plan. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated absolutely. Brad has at my request reached out to Mark Benaquista and he is not adverse to the additional curb cut. Traffic commented on requesting a stop sign before the sidewalk, and indicated that the proposed access would not deteriorate existing conditions. Amy Durland stated we will discuss the curb cut on Spring Street in further detail at the site plan review. I would like to see the pros and cons of each option. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak regarding this application. None heard. Philip Klein made a motion to approve a special use permit for mixed use building in the Transect-5 Neighborhood for 2100 square feet of retail, 2300 square feet of one single apartment and a small 500 square foot mechanical room on the third floor. The height of the parapet is 28 feet. The height to the top of the mechanical building is 36 feet. It is an appropriate use, mixed use and fits well. Seconded by Tom Lewis. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if there was any further discussion. Amy Durland stated in terms of the Special Use Permit standards it would appear that it meets the standards and particularly the overall compatibility of the use with the neighborhood and the impact on the community character I believe has been met with this proposal. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if there was any further discussion. Hearing none. VOTE: Tom Lewis, Vice Chair, in favor; A. Durland, in favor; P. Klein, in favor; D. Gaba, in favor; H. Pinsley, in favor; Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman, in favor City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Minutes – September 27, 2011- Page 8 of 11  MOTION PASSES: 6-0 7. 11.041 FAMILY DOLLAR, 2214 Route 50, sketch discussion of site plan for retail store in the Highway General Business District. In March 20087 ZBA interpreted that a car rental facility was consistent with auto sales/service which is permitted in this district. Planning Board approved site plan on August 22, 2008 with subsequent DRC approval in September 2008. The property is located within the Highway General Business District and within "Zone A" of the Gateway Overlay District-I. The intent is to encourage intensive, clustered, commercial node while preserving "rural gateway". SEQRA: Action appears to be an unlisted action. DISCLOSURE: Philip Klein stated he is employed by the Adirondack Trust Company and he has no financial interest in this project. There is no need for recusal. Applicant: Gary DeRusso Agent: Gavin Vuillame, Landscape Architect - EDP Mr. Vuillame stated the applicant is here to gain some knowledge from the Board as far as what the applicant can do to make the application better. Mr. Vuillame gave a brief overview of the project. This proposal is for an 8300 square foot one story general retail store. A Family Dollar store. The site is approximately 1.3 acres. It is zoned Highway Business District. The property is currently vacant. Mr. Vuillame discussed the topography of the site. Prototypes of the store layout were presented for the Boards review. The Family Dollar does like to have it's parking in the front of the building, with overflow parking on the side. We are currently anticipating sharing an existing driveway on Route 50 to limit the number of curb cuts and we would be sharing the driveway with the existing bank. We are making provisions for pedestrian traffic. There are existing sanitary sewers, storm water would be handled on site. Municipal water. Clilfford Van Wagner, Chairman stated the fact that it is an entrance and gateway to the City brings back some familiarity when McDonald's appeared before this Board some time ago and this Board insisted that the design standards, the location, arrangement, size, design and site compatibility, signage and everything have to make a statement because we are going to use in this case as a barometer for other development on the entrance to the City. That being said the building height should be two stories and the Board will be looking for that. The fact that Family Dollar is a national chain, the fact that they have some boiler plate designs drawings for different projects is not necessarily going to give you a lot of flexibility. We are going to hold you to a higher standard. You should be prepared to step outside of the box of what the corporate Family Dollar structures look like. We are looking for two stories. Regarding parking our standards for the Gateway state no more than 20% of the parking shall be located in front of the building, which is contrary to what your opening statements were. We will look at how the parking is situated. We spoke about shared parking between the sites. We would like to see loading and unloading take place in the rear of the building for aesthetics. Clustering these buildings would be nice. Discussion ensued regarding the shared driveway with the Adirondack Trust, clustering of the buildings, shared parking, frontage requirements, storm water management and a second story. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak regarding this application. City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Minutes – September 27, 2011- Page 9 of 11 None heard. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated there is no formal action taken with a sketch plan. You are entitled to two sketch plans and this will be a work in progress. Overlays are helpful. The applicant should stay in touch with staff and notify them when you are ready to return to the Board you will be placed on the Agenda. Bradley Birge, Administrator, Planning and Economic Development stated that we appreciate the applicants and the agents coming in early on to have some discussions. We welcome them to key the applicants into the sections of the Zoning Ordinance and to better prepare them for their time before the Boards. Philip Klein questioned where the water supply was coming from just for clarification. The applicant stated Ballston Spa. 8. 11.043 5 EAST BROADWAY, 5 East Broadway, request for an advisory opinion to the Zoning Board of Appeals for an area variance in the Urban Residential-2 District. This is a referral from the ZBA for an advisory opinion in regard to a proposed variance from required 60 feet to 54 feet for the mean lot width of all three lots. The applicant has demonstrated that a three lot subdivision could be achieved that meets all the requirements without variances, but is proposing variances from area lot width to provide for more standard lot configuration. Standard configuration typically is desirable for property owners ability to generally understand property line location. A subdivision can be legally achieved without a variance, there is not an increase in density associated with the proposed variance. The potential future subdivision could include discussion on the existing abandoned home on the site and its removal prior to the subdivision approval, access, streetlights, street trees, drainage, etc. SEQRA: No SEQRA action is required with an advisory opinion. Applicant: Belmonte Builders Agent: Gavin Vuillame, EDP Mr. Vuillame gave a brief overview of the project. Maps were provided to the Board. One is the actual variance map which shows the lots as the applicant would like to develop them, the second one is the actual layout that was first designed and actually does meet the ordinance in all regards concerning the mean lot width. The three lots themselves would be over 8,000 square feet, the frontage would be approximately 54 feet and some change and we are looking for a 6 foot mean lot width area variance. We are able to meet all the building setbacks. These are all single family homes. The side yard setbacks are 8feet and 12 feet. These home are consistent with those in the area. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if there are any further comments from the Board. Discussion ensued regarding attached garages versus detached garages, square footage of the proposed homes, and building setbacks. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to comment on this application. City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Minutes – September 27, 2011- Page 10 of 11 Wally Berger, 10 Cleveland Avenue. Congratulations to the Board for the McDonalds design, quite an asset to the community. Regarding the subdivision, these lots are approximately in line with the lots in the neighborhood. We do not have a particular problem with this. Clyde Jasinski, 5 Davids Lane. Questioned whether another property was going to be divided, however upon discussion discovered it is owned by another owner. Mr. Jasinski obtained information on researching the current owners contact information. Charlene Berger, 10 Cleveland Avenue. East Broadway is very narrow and bumpy. I am concerned about having more houses. What are the plans for East Broadway, the actual street in front of the new houses. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated this is an advisory opinion to the Zoning Board. If this is positive and the Zoning Board votes on it, then the applicant will return to this Board for site plan on subdivision. At that meeting we will discuss all those issues. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if there are any further questions or comments from the Board. None heard. Clifford Van Wagner, stated what we are being asked for is strictly an Advisory Opinion to the Zoning Board again it is non binding is there a motion on the floor for an Advisory Opinion to the Zoning Board for the Area Variance for strickly the mean lot width. Tom Lewis made a motion for an Advisory Opinion to the Zoning Board for the Area Variance for strictly the mean lot width. Seconded by Howard Pinsley.
