Hello,
I can't attend the meeting this evening but would like to add my comments to the proposed
mix-use structure at 269 Broadway.
I am in agreement with all Mr. Favro and Ms. Bosshart stated in their letter. The proposed
structure's scale is extremely objectionable as well as the design itself.
In my opinion, as this will be viewed when visitors and residents drive into Saratoga Springs
it's very important for structure to be compatible with the historic nature of our beautiful city.
I do believe that new construction should be modern but should never overshadow
established historic structures. This building is too much and will clash with existing buildings
- the amount of glass on the facade is way too much - the whole structure (size & look)
should be "toned down".
The designer(s) need to rethink how a building can be modern yet"fit in" to our city. Other
new construction projects have done that...maybe they need to look around more and learn
what was done to comply with existing buildings.
