In the development of the Weibel Avenue corridor, changing incrementally as development continues within an area, establishing a new city neighborhood.

The proposed uses are included with the application. There are 120 apartments. This is in harmony with the commercial uses of 60 Weibel Avenue. Mr. Carr reviewed the layout of the project with a visual presentation and discussed the civic space, green space, and stormwater management. Landscaping was discussed, smaller trees will be used, LED lighting will be used, and discussion of utilities, and sanitary sewer. Possible cross lot easement could be obtained. Ample parking is being provided to serve both the commercial and residential needs of this building. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman reviewed the six evaluation criteria for Special Use Permits with the Board. The project is compatible with the neighborhood. EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR SPECIAL USE PERMITS A. To ensure that the proposed use will not adversely affect surrounding properties and community character, the Planning Board's evaluation of Special Use applications shall include the following: 1. The extent to which the use is in harmony with and promotes the general purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and this Chapter. 2. The density, intensity and compatibility of the use with the neighborhood and community character. 3. Safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular access, circulation and parking. 4. Existing and future demand on infrastructure, public facilities and services. 5. The environmental and natural resources of the site and neighboring lands including and potential erosion, flooding or excessive light, noise, vibration and the like. 6. The long-term economic viability of the site, neighboring properties and districts. Discussion ensued regarding the installation of sidewalks all the way to the Hannaford Plaza. Mr. Carr stated this is impractical and cost prohibitive. The area would need to be graded, vegetation would need to be cleared, a brick retaining wall would need to be built. A traffic signal would be need. Sonny Bonacio, applicant reviewed the infrastructure work and the cost in this area. The cost of a traffic signal is in the area of $175,000. Mr. Bonacio reiterated the improvements made in this area and the city has benefited with the improvements as well. Recreation fees have been paid to the City which total a significant amount. The applicant was hoping the City would assume the cost of a traffic signal in this area if a crosswalk is installed. Kate Maynard, Principal Planner reviewed what the recreation fees are allocated for. This can be discussed with the City. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman and the Board determined this project meets all six criteria for Special Use Permit. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to comment on this application for Special Use Permit. City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Minutes – May 8, 2013 - Page 4 of 13 Teresa Capazolla, Complete Streets Committee. They are making recommendations that the Board look into this project. The building of this area has been accomplished too quickly. City Council needs to review fees to complete streets. Light pollution, loss of green space, etc., Dave Carr, LA Group responded that the applicant will be using lighting which is the approved standard for the City, the standard LED lighting. Environmentally 100% infiltration is handled on the site. The site can handle 5xs the stormwater. Bike lanes are built into the streets in the site. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated this Board does not have jurisdiction over the rec fees. SEQRA: The Board reviewed Part II of SEQRA form. No large or important areas of concern noted. Howard Pinsley made a motion based upon the information provided by the applicant in Part I of the SEQR Full Environmental Assessment Form, and analysis of the information provided and presented in Part II of the SEQR Full Environmental Assessment Form, the project will not result in any large and important impacts and, therefore, is one that will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment.

Some revisions were made following this meeting. The City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Minutes – May 8, 2013 - Page 5 of 13 sidewalk configuration was rearranged and moved along the civic space which made more sense, this is the public area of the site. Discussion on how people would get from the commercial residential to the civic space. A better solution was to provide a sidewalk on the northern and southern end. The amount of sidewalk is the same but simply reconfigured. Regarding the commercial space and parking we would place a screen hedge along the parking lot to screen the vehicles that are needed for the commercial space to the civic space. Our stormwater design, per DEC regulations is stressing keeping stormwater on the surface. This parking lot is not curbed and will run off into this hedge. The last revision is the road has been changed (alley road) changed and the driveways/garages will run off this alley/roadway. Dave Carr, LA Group stated that the remainder of the project has not changed. Weibel will be widened somewhat. Kate Maynard, Principal Planner stated two things, will there be parking on Weibel. Confirm that the future connection to the South which at the present time is green space be noted. Tom L. Lewis, Vice Chairman made a motion that we approve the Site Plan for 72-74 Weibel, as presented with the recommendation that the City consider providing a traffic device of some sort.

SEQRA: Action appears to be Unlisted with DRC as additional involved agency. DRC deferred SEQRA Lead Agency on May 1, 2013. BACKGROUND: Project was formerly approved for mixed use development.

SEQRA: Action appears to be a Type I with DRC as additional involved agency. DRC deferred SEQRA Lead Agency on May 1, 2013. SHPO is an interested agency under SEQRA will receive materials for any comment on proposed project. Project site is within the National District. Historic Review is required. Transect-6 Urban Core Applicant: Jim Quinn, Nick LaFontaine, Provident Development Agent: Tony Stellato, CHA; Nick Schwartz, CHA; Mr. Stellato provided the Board with a visual presentation reviewing the location of the proposed project. This is a T-6 zone and the lot is approximately 2/3 of an acre. We are proposing a 180 room hotel and a 200 seat banquet facility. We appeared before a Joint Meeting of the Planning Board and DRC on Feb. 13, 2013 for sketch discussion of the project. Newly submitted renderings present essentially the same mass and scale but a variety of building and façade features have changed from what was presented on 2/13/13. The building is approximately six stories tall and approximately 15,000 square feet of area. There will be a rooftop ballroom with a walkout terrace. We appeared before the DRC on May 1, 2013. The existing Rip Van Dam will be renovated as well as the Starbuck building. The upper level or crown of the new building is being revised. The water and sewer capacity is fine at this time and has been reviewed with the City Engineer. Drainage plan was also reviewed with the City Engineer. Storm water and sewer problems at Church Street will be redesigned and submitted to the City Engineer. Electric service will be underground. An 18 inch storm sewer line is proposed and will be reviewed with the City Engineer. There will be a green roof deck. Some pervious pavement will be used, installation of a rain garden, and vortex units to meet water quality. Landscaping plan is not complete at this time. Broadway streetscape will be improved and changed. We are working with neighboring businesses. We are proposing heated sidewalks, pedestrian seating and a way finding kiosk. Parking and traffic assessment has been completed with 116 trips during peak hours. Valet service for parking. This will be off site. The placement and orientation of new buildings will be consistent with neighboring buildings. Maintaining a consistent streetscape and façade setback is recommended. Trash removal will be two compactors and rolled out to the street for waste pickup. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated he has some serious concerns regarding this proposed project. In the T-6 parking is something we cannot talk about. On our caravan on Monday, we counted 46 parking spots which are in the area you intend to build upon. These people will be displaced. This project not only does not provide parking but you are also removing 46 spaces where people park. The curb cut is too close to Broadway in my estimation. Trash compactors being wheeled out, does not sound promising. The Broadway streetscape is a little out of reach. Before you reach out to additional property owners, it should be agreed upon by the City. The Department of Public Safety issued a two page letter indicating their concerns. It is unclear where the parking would be distributed. The use of on street parking will affect the Churches in the area. A detailed traffic analysis would be helpful. It does not seem to fit in the current format. In the past the applicants have escrowed an amount City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Minutes – May 8, 2013 - Page 9 of 13 of money to hire independent traffic engineer and review the parking as well as the traffic mitigation. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated Saratoga County Planning Board referral is required. PUBLIC HEARING: Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman opened the public hearing at 10:15 P.M.

Applicant: Turf Hotels, Mike Hoffman, Brian Strauter Agent: Matthew J. Jones, Attorney; Michael Ingersoll. LA Group; Danny Bounds, Architect SEQRA: No action required with an advisory opinion. Action appears to be a Type I action with the City Council as Lead Agency. City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Minutes – May 8, 2013 - Page 10 of 13 BACKGROUND: Request being considered which would change the existing zoning for the parcel from OMB-1 to Tourist Related Business District (TRB). While the proposed use of the property would be for a 4 story 109 unit extended stay hotel, the proposed change would allow for a full breadth of uses to be considered within special use permit and site plan. The GAPS committee report recommended any future Comprehensive Plan Committee should focus on this section on South Broadway and explore the potential for alternative development concepts for this section of South Broadway. Change would re-zone one parcel to TRBD, surrounded by OMB-1. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated this is a non binding Advisory Opinion to the City Council. The Board has 60 days to consider the request. The scope of the Planning Board is to assure the consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and that the proposed revision is not contrary to general purposes and intent of the ordinance. Mr. Jones gave a brief overview of the project. A visual presentation was provided to the Board, outlining the this request fitting into the Comprehensive Plan requirements. Mr. Ingersoll reviewed the landscaping, vegetation and infrastructure as well as stormwater management and the siting of the building on the property, height of the building and architectural designs. The applicant has provided to Mr. Jones $10,000 to be held in escrow whether the zoning is changed or not but is to be used for the development of the trail plan on the east side of Route 9. Clifford Van Wagner, stated no action will be taken this evening. We have a great deal of information to digest. Great building for the entrance to the City. We will study this and come up with an advisory opinion to the City. PUBLIC HEARING: Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to comment on this application. Laura DePeta, representing Sustainable Saratoga. Ms. DePeta read a letter from Sustainable Saratoga. Basically they believe this proposal is not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The current proposal does not meet the test. Teresa Capozzola, urging the Board to give a negative advisory opinion. Concerned regarding spot zoning. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated we will leave this public hearing open. 9. 13.009 HOME OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD, 394-402 Church Street, public hearing for a special use permit for senior assisted care facility and senior housing in the Urban Residential-1 District.
