Received from the City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board on February 11, 2021.
Reviewed by staff and two members of the Saratoga County Planning Board on February 25, 2021
Decision: No Significant Countywide or Intercommunity Impact
Comment: In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding(MOU) between the City of Saratoga
Springs Planning Board and the Saratoga County Planning Board, the above-noted referral for Site Plan
Review has been reviewed by staff and with the necessary concurrence of two Board members has been
deemed to present no significant county-wide impacts. In reviewing the potential for any adverse impacts
this increase in development may result in, we note none of substance as the vegetated buffer to the
south of the site is not materially infringed upon, in regard to green space within the area designated for
site parking the green space of 19%exceeds the 10%requirement, the site has no existing wetlands to be
considered regarding impact, site permeability is at 41%, meeting the minimum requirement of 30%, and
no new curb cut permits to either road are proposed or required.
