We are expressing our strong objections to the proposed demolition of 65 and 69 Phila Street. Both houses are significant and worthy of preservation. Approximately, seven years ego 1, Mark Haworth, walked through both properties with a representative from Bona io Construction. Despite the challenges of the buildings, i was committed to seeing them the preserved. i made an offer that was based on the buildings being made habitable, understanding that i would sell the buildings at cost, not a profit, and that there would be a potential risk of not recovering the entire investment depending on the housing market at the time of completion. My offer was rejected. The owners have allowed these buildings to deteriorate and have not .been willing to sell to those who are willing to preserve them. They should not be allowed to demolish them to make a profit on new construction. Sincerely, Mark Haworth and Sonny Bona io To: Saratoga Springs Design Review Commission From: Pam Fun ici el lo, resident of 116 Circular Street and own erlm a nager of 61 Phila Street Date: January 19, 2021 for Wednesday, January 20 Design Review Commission Meeting Re: Design Review applications #20200809 and 20200852 - demolition of 65 and 69 Phila St On behalf of myself and the other owners of 61 Phila Street, I again voice opposition to Helen Simpson's application for demolition of 65 and 69 Phila Street. If you haven't already, please read my December 8, 2020 letter to the DRC and the minutes of the April 5, 2001 DRC and October 27, 2004 Zoning Board meetings that were attached to my December 6th email. With other City minutes and records, they document the Simpson's disregard for the input and oversite of City officials as you work to uphold the laws, codes, regulations and practices Intended to preserve our community as a place of historic beauty and heritage. This letter includes a pictoral history of the Simpsonis neglect. There is no evidence that the Simpsons ever wanted to preserve the structural integrity, let along archetechtural and historical: Integrity, of the properties. Please look at these photos and see if you don't agree. The date on each numbered photo is the date on which it was taken. #1 October 25, 2014 #2 October 25, 2014 r. #3 December 7, 2020 Photos #1 & 2 (above) Back (NW) corner of 65 Phila These photos were taken when called Helen Simpson to tell her that the back of 65 Phila had collapsed. Lventually, the opening was covered with chipboard. Chipboard is one of the cheapest plywood -type materials available and not intended to withstand outdoor exposure. Nonetheless, the Simpsons have consistently used it on both 65 and 69 for structural repair and maintenance including exterior walls and skirting. Photo #3 (above) Back(northern side J. of 65 Phila The current condition of the repaired back section is difficult to see through the vines tangled in the wire fencing, but it's the unpainted gray chipboard to the left of the painted chipboard wall of the main building. #4 December 7, 2020 #5 December 7, 2020 left) i side) of 69 Phila )rovided to give you a clearer image of the photo the witted with their application, which they notated: 3): Unstable portion of brick wall at rear of building unstable portion of brick" is surrounded by is warping and peeling. Painted brick ited chipboard Photo #5. on left) Back (NE) corner of 69 Phila Note the extent to which chipboard was used for exterior walls which I believe was installed by the Simpsons sometime after the April 5, 2001 DRC meeting when Helen applied for partial demolition of the back of 69. (Please refer to DRC minutes for the 2001 DRC ruling on that request.) #6, September 27, 2016 Photos # 7 & 8 (below) Matedals at the back of 65 Phila Matedals remain, untouched for 2 months. #7 October 13, 2016 I Photo #6 (on left) Materials at back of 65 Phila Case Simpson and an assistant began repairs in September 2016 in response to, neighbors on Phila and Lafayette Streets making numerous complaints to the City about sanitation issues stemming from the feral cats and pigeons living inside 65 and 69, (The accumulation of dried pigeon excrement wafting from the properties was a health hazard and a complaint I heard from my tenants.) On September 27, 1 spoke with Case about the pigeon problem. He told me he needed my permission to put scaffolding up to access the hole in the cornice. 1 told him I'd be happy to grant him access, but just asked that he provide an insurance certificate. #8 November 7, 2016 #9 October 13, 2016 Photo #9 (on left) Hole in cornice of 65 Phila This was one of the main entry points where pigeons roosted. (Squirrels also got in here.) #10 November 27, 2016 #11 March 25, 2019 Photo #10 on left) Ladder to pigeon roost (Taken by 61 Phila tenant Apparently, the hole in the cornice was patched on November 27, 2016. No insurance certificate was provided, but the hole was sealed up by the next day. Yup, that's a feral cat climbing the unattended ladder. Don't be fooled into thinking that the cats were sealed out of other entry points to the buildings. Maybe this cat just wa nted a peek at the penthouse, since he usually resides in a "garden apartment". (Sorry, but sometimes "you gotta laugh to keep from crying!") Photo #11 on left) and Photo #12 (below) Feral cat colony and other wildlife at 65 Phila A feral cat population remains with easy access to basements. With Helen's permission, I set traps between November 2018 and March 2019, in a "Trap, Neuter and Release" program to stop the growth of the colony. Homes were found for 4 kittens. 4 cats were trapped and neutered at my expense. Helen declined -to help with the costs, blaming my tenants for the cat problem by feeding them. Tenants of 61 Phila don't feed the cats, and I routinely implore passersby not to do so, because of the mess and wildlife it attracts. With no human activity in or around an abandoned building, all kinds of critters seek shelter. I've also notified Helen of rotting smells coming from 65 which I suspect was a dead animal. Nothing was done to investigate or remove the source of the smell. I can't imagine how you could show the building to a potential buyer with the summertime stench. #12 February 8, 2019 Photos #13 & 14 (below) Chain link claces on porches of 65 and 69 Phila When the City required that the properties be secured from entry or trespass, this was the Simpson's architectural choice. When the fence when up at the front of the houses I told Case I wasn't happy with chain link, especially as porch gates. He told me that the City wanted it fenced, If I didn't like it: "talk to the City'. #13 December 7, 2020 65 #14 December 7, 2020 My family and I are regularly at 61 Phila. I was there every day when my parents lived there from 2003 to 2016. When there, it's common for people to ask about 65 and 69. Some are just courteous: "Did the owner die?" "What a shame that they let them deteriorate in such a nice neighborhood." Some are lifelong Saratogians on walks downtown. Some are tourists commenting on the amazing old houses that attract them to our city. Some are potential buyers. They ask permission to look at 65 and 69 from my yard. They tell of interest in buying and restoring them as a home or investment property. They ask what it's like to live in the neighborhood. A "For Salef� sign intermittently posted on the properties doesn't guarantee theproperties are actually for sale. Before getting her real estate license, Helen would post a sign with her phone number. It's not uncommon forpotential buyers to tell me that they've tried calling, but no one gets back to them. Others say offers are dismissed without counter. These interactions have happened as far back as 17 years ago and as recently as 2020. I'm confident there would be buyers interested in restoration, if the properties were appropriately priced and marketed. This is the current description of 65 Phila on realtor.com: "Best Location in the cityfl SoldAS — IS. Comps average SF costs 241.00 = 482,000. Comps 116 High Rock s1d 11/2017 $40010001 116 Catherine St. $22510003 40 Warren St. 2501000, 184 Spring St 506,000. All comps are tear downs or total rehabs. Owner would like to sell 65 and 69 Phila St together. Package price is 600,000 Commission paid on 65 Phila St. Only." Helen, the sole listing agent, seems to believe "tear down" is a marketable option and a foregone conclusion rewarding years of ignoring and neglecting. Please don't let the Simpsons ignore City codes and regulations. Please make the years of neglect stop. Don't reward the Simpsons with demolition by willful neglect. Because, as to hardship? In hindsight, the Simpsons made a great investment in buying the properties. The fact that, they have since spent their money on taxes, fees, fines and development plans that consistently involve some sort of demolition or new construction, instead of recognizing and protecting their initial investment in irreplaceable historic properties is inexplicable.

Please --contact IT Support if you need assistance determining if it's a threat beforeo-p—e'nving attachments or clicking any links. Hello and first and foremost thank you for the work your organization does. As a lifelong resident, as well as someone who has gone in front of the design review board. I understand and appreciate what you do for our historic city, The time and care you give to preservation and quality is admirable, As a nearby home owner to these properties I have been horrified by their deterioration. At one point each property was listed individually at500k plus, only after years of no active listings or attempts to sell. To my knowledge, the owner is also the listing real estate agent and has been uncooperative at attempts to negotiate sale. My husband and 1, along with separate, highly qualified buyers, have inquired about these properties only to find the owner real estate agent unresponsive. As a owner/agent, who clearly should be in tune with the market, it is disgraceful and unethical,, and not in good faith to greedy engage in price gauging attempts. It is no secret,, in this small town, that these two properties, as well as many others owned by the same person, have been abused and neglected over the years. To apply for permissions, assistance and support at this point, when your organization, multiple qualified buyers and other preservation groups have tried to reach out, is insulting. Willful neglect and passive deterioration are not grounds for destruction and profit. Not to mention the owner has been shown to be a flagrant abuser of the character and charm of this city through past applications, actions and most importantly: inactions, I implore you to insist these homes be saved and resurrected, Colleen Grassi Lafayette Street h ttp s:#m. s a rato ga -s p ri n g s.o rg/h/prin tm essa g e? id -115994 & tz =A m e ri cal N ew—York ill 1120/2021 Zirubra Zimbra jan@,aratoga�springs.org 65 and 69 Phila From : Bourne Rigano <carbour404@gmai1.corn> Sun., ]an 17, 202108:09 AM Subject: 65 and 69 Phila To :iennifer merriman<Jennifer. merriman@saratoga- springs-org> CAUTION: This email originated outside of theCity network.

DRC Saratoga Springs,, I am Bourne Rigano, my wife Carol and I own 64 Phila Street, directly across the street from 65 and 69. When we bought our properLy in the mid 1980's we recognized the distinct historical value of the area. Although it had been left to deteriorate for many years, we had a vision. Soon after, the City proposed the Library to replace C&B Sanitation,, They kept their garbage trucks where the Library now stands. A wholesale fruit and vegetable warehouse operated where Thai restaurant is now. Several of the houses on the block were in derelict condition. Fortunately people with a vision bought into this area and proceeded to renovate. Through many years of hard work andpersonal sacrifice we watched as the neighborhood we helped to create rose from the rubble that it once was. That is with two exceptions, We have been hopeful for so many years that 65 & 69 would be brought up to the area standards. When the present owners bought the properties,, they talked about renovating and even took some steps to initiate. On the east side of 69 Phila there is a new electric service entrance which was installed many years ago and never utilized. There are also a few windows that were replaced. They are not in historical compliance but it was an improvement. The owners spoke of renovating and renting as so many of the neighbors had done but that was about the end of improvements except what were imposed on them by the city to secure and stabilize the houses. At some point in between all the different plans and schernes,, it seemed that they were aiming toward "Demolition by Neglect" - It has been a painfulprocess to watch. To claim a Hardship is just the latest in the ongoing saga. How can it be a hardship when you could easily double or triple your purchase price. Any hardship that is evident is a self imposed hardship, We hope that the city continue on the current path to do everything in their power to help bring these properties up to the standards they are worthy of..

We have watched them disintegrate over the past 18 years,, We chose to live downtown because we liked the historic fabric of thecommunity - if we wanted to look at new buildings we would have moved to the suburbs. The owners have done absolutely nothing to try and preserve the historic fabric of these buildings. Demolition by neglect should never, never be tolerated, These owners have turned down reasonable offers for the building and they are certainly under no financial hardship.

Currently when democracy is under enormous pressure, your commitment is part of the strong foundation that gives us all confidence that better days are ahead. Since the end of my term as Commissioner of Public Safety in 2009 and my involvement with the Zoning Board of Appeals from 1996 to 2004, 1 have never commented on an application before any of our important land use boards. I feel compelled this time, because I believe these applications must be denied in full because the applicants have consistently shown a contempt for this City and the historic neighborhood around Phila Street, and such behavior should never be allowed or rewarded. I was Chair of the ZBA in the early 2000's when the applicants came toapply for a zoning variance for one parcel in question. I vividly remember their application because they represented themselves as unsophisticated purchasers of a property, they now needed to demolish due to the exorbitant cost of restoration. I recall one applicant "tearing up" during the hearing while falsely stating they simply did not realize what they were getting into when they purchased these properties and now needed the ZBA to help thern- The ZBA later heard counter testimony that the applicants have a long record of real estate purchasing throughout upstate New York. The ZBAproperly voted to deny their variance - MAILING ADDRESS OFFICE ADDRESS PO BOX 318 3257 Route 9, Suite 5 SARATOGA SPRINGS. NY 12866 SARA TOGS.

At some point while l was on the City Council, I believe they "doubled down" on their purposeful blight of the Phila Street historic district. These alleged fa unsophisticated applicants" bought the second deteriorating property now before you and�i �� came before the city council to rezone and join the parcels so they could demolish the historically significant buildings and construct condominiums. Luckily, despite a very divisive City Council on most issues, we joined to deny their application. During my four years as commissioner of Public Safety, in ray oversight role of City Code Enforcement, it was clear to me that the applicants had no intention of beim responsible property owners In a historic district. Sadly, over the fast 20 gears the applicants have NEVER done the right thing for the City, ty# its historic district, or the Phila Street neighborhood. Imagine living next to these two properties for 20 years! Imagine the inherent risk of collapse, fire, or injury these properties pose to the neighbors in their current condition ---all because of purposeful neglect by the applicants for 20 years! Finally, imagine what these buildings could he if the applicants had dome the right thing, and restored thea to their pastto g ry The applicants should not be rewarded now for their abusive, contumacious non- action that has allowed these properties to deteriorate in our historic district. Their calculating, dishonest tepatience, 11 which has inflicted)rent harm on the cit i historic g y, s t district and the Phila Street neighborhood is disingenuous and repulsive in the extreme. I urge the DRC to deny in full these applications and the applicants. Thank you again for honoring our city with your time and commitment as Volu S. sincere , nald J.
