CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED BY THE BOARD: Correspondence received from Richard Culmer, dated February 10, 2015 and March 23, 2015. Correspondence received from adjacent neighbors Linda Pace and Michael Inferna. Applicant: Mark and Patricia Harrison Agent: Dan Wheeler, Survey Associates, LLC City of Saratoga Springs – Planning Board Meeting – March 25, 2015 - Page 3 of 12 BACKGROUND: Property is within the Rural Residential District, conservation subdivision is required. The property was part of a four- lot subdivision approved in May of 1981. Adjacent property owned by Michael Infurna and Linda Pace contains a conservation easement maintained by Saratoga PLAN. The Planning Board previously required a stake out at the site of the proposed property boundaries, wetlands and driveway access. The Board has expressed the need for further information related to potential overall issues of wetlands impact, driveway access, practicality of developing homes on low lying, wet site. Mr. Wheeler stated the applicants are looking for a waiver. This project had to be considered for a conservation subdivision. We did perform a conservation analysis plan. The most important resource was the DEC wetlands. It is contiguous to the old railroad bed and the existing easement on the Pace property. Saratoga County DPW did comment regarding using a common driveway avoiding a second curb cut. We don’t have any issues with that. We did take a look at the conservation subdivision and it does require setting aside another 2.2 acres and I feel this is unique since it is already developed. There is one spot for a house and one spot is not going to change the look of the subdivision. It will create more work on the applicant’s end and there will be a rambling easement struggling to attain the 2.2 acres. We would like the Board to consider leaving this as a conventional subdivision and we would like to create an easement over the DEC wetlands and use a shared driveway. We did receive comments from the City Engineer, and his comments and suggestions will be incorporated. Mark Torpey, Chairman provided some background information. A conservation easement is required as part of a Rural Residential District. The Board does have the ability to issue a waiver. The first part of the process is to figure out the base density and the allowable lots on the property. You have completed that and it shows a base density of 2 units is allowed. Mark Torpey, Chairman continued with a review of what is required in the conservation analysis. The onus or responsibility rests with the applicant in this regard. The Board shall make the final determination as to which land has the most conservation value and should be protected by a conservation easement. The applicant provides the information and the Board makes the determination. If based on the conservation analysis the Board makes a determination that there is no reasonable basis for the conservation easement, and then the Board may approve a conventional subdivision. We don’t have a conservation analysis that articulates what was just stated for us to make this determination in the first place. Even if we did, there are four specific issues that we need to address in order to issue the waiver. First, the land contains no substantial resources with conservation value. In my opinion, you have wetlands on the property, tree buffer and steep slopes, which by definition have conservation value. Also, one of these four needs to be answered, not all four in order to issue the waiver. Secondly, the acreage is too small to preserve a substantial amount of land with conservation value. The answer to this is no also. 7 ½ acres is the total property length, and the property abuts and is contiguous with other conserved lands in Saratoga PLAN eaement and in addition 12 acres with the neighbor. It seems to be a critical mass of land that we are talking about so it would not satisfy that requirement. Thirdly, the configuration is unique and precludes preservation of a substantial amount of land with conservation value. I cannot see anything particularly unique about the property. The property is of sufficient size and wouldn’t satisfy that objective. The last question is there are extraordinary circumstances that are unique to the parcel, which demonstrates that a conventional subdivision is in the best interest of adjacent neighborhoods. We have received feedback from neighbors. I do not see any of the four conditions being appropriate for us to waive. Peter Koscio, representing the applicant. Mr. Koscio spoke regarding the amount of usable land. Mr. Koscio spoke regarding all four issues Mr. Torpey cited and why the applicant should receive the waiver. Mr. Torpey stated the density calculation is based upon constrained lands of 2.7 acres of DEC wetlands and 0.33 acres of ACOE wetlands, resulting in unconstrained lands of 4.39 acres or 2.2 units available under the district’s 2 acre minimum lot zoning. 50% unconstrained land required to be permanently protected open space is 2.195 acres.

Mark Torpey, Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to comment on this application. Jim Mahuga, I live next door to this property and have lived there for 39 years. This is beautiful piece of property. It is an unusual lot. Meadowbrook Road is a beautiful road. This is a shoehorn fit and this home will look like an afterthought. Mark Torpey, Chairman asked if there was any further discussion from the Board. Howard Pinsley questioned the 2.2 acre requirement. Kate Maynard, Principal Planner reviewed the requirements of the Rural Residential District. Discussion ensued among the Board regarding the requirements of the conservation subdivision.

Applicant: Fasig Tipton and Mazzone Management Inc. Agent: Michael Toohey, Attorney; Michael Ingersoll, LA Group Mr. Toohey provided a visual presentation of the area of consideration. The history of the pavilion is it was used by Fasig Tipton for horse sales. Several years ago Fasig-Tipton has been used for not for profit affairs.

He did receive permission from the City for two years to host these events. This area was inspected for code enforcement. No one informed the applicant a Special Use Permit was indicated. According to zoning requirements this is a permitted use in this zone for 90 days, 30 of which have to be within the racing meet. It also specifically states that entertainment cannot be provided from midnight until 8:00 am. Neighbors are requesting sound mitigation since it interferes with the enjoyment of their homes.

These clients stated that Fasig-Tipton has been a wonderful neighbor. There have not been issues with not for profit events. The weddings are another issue. We are in a residential neighborhood. Music is an issue. These are old homes, windows are open, they enjoy sitting on their porches and this is an intrusion every weekend in the summer. My clients are pleased there are no weddings in 2016. The decibel issue is a problem. We all thought it was a 60 decibel limit. Clients are requesting monitoring start when the band starts. Also a request that the PA system remain off during these events. Cindy June property owner in the area requested all property owners be provided with a listing of all events. Patrick Peppino, 28 Lexington Rd. Chairman of Saratoga County Convention and Tourism Bureau. Mr. Peppino stated how hard Saratoga has worked to make it a destination for weddings.

Todd Garafano, President of the Saratoga Convention and Tourism Bureau. Saratoga has become a year round destination for weddings. These destination weddings bring significant business to the hotels, restaurants, and other businesses. The impact economically is significant. Sherri Gray, 38 5th Avenue.
