RE: SCPB Referral Review#14-147-Two-lot residential subdivision-21 Park
Place
2-lot residential subdivision of 0.726-acre parcel in UR-4 District with an
existing residential structure on said parcel
NE quad of intersection of Park Place & Regent Street (ref. by proximity to NYS
Route 9P)
Received from the City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board on September 27, 2016.
Reviewed by the Saratoga County Planning Board on October 20, 2016.
Decision: No Significant Countywide or Intercommunity Impact
Comment:
We originally reviewed an appeal associated with this property two years ago when
various variances were under consideration. The subject property is located in the
city's UR-4 District and has on it an existing 3-unit residential structure. The
applicant was then proposing to construct two more 2-unit residential buildings and a
2-car garage for each with on-site surface parking areas. District requirements meant
that the two residential buildings would need 25-foot front yard setbacks. Reasonably,
the applicant desired to set the buildings at 16'to match existing street alignment,
noting that placing them at 25'would create an inconsistency with existing house
settings along the street. Under the original submittal, maximum principal building
coverage allowed in the UR-4 District is 25%. Proposed building coverage was 26.45%
(not viewed as a substantial overage by SCPB for a 32,000 sq. ft. city lot). Presently
the applicant proposes a quick and standard subdivision to create two lots, one being
19,153 s.f. on which the existing structure and driveway/parking area will be located,
and a new lot of 12,483 s.f. The second lot is being created for future construction of
a residential structure w/a detached garage to be accessed from the shared driveway
from Park Place.
