Engineering and Land Surveying, P.C. 5333C�e5[r��[�WaU. 04,1,k NY,30V Phone, 20 Bowman Street INTRODUCTION This Application is for a Special Use Permit to allow the construction of a single residential unit as a second floor to the existing building. Both the Eating and Drinking Establishment and the second floor residential unit are uses that are permitted under the Zoning Code in the District in which this property is located. The proposed project consists of one tax parcel in the City of Saratoga (tax parcel 179.29-3-11) comprising 0.29 acres. The existing commercial lot is situated between a restaurant/bar to the south and residential property to the west/north, with a vacant residential lot used as track parking directly to the north. See attached aerial map and tax map. The proposal application wishes to renovate an existing 1,500 commercial building, by removing the roof and making a second floor 1,500 SF apartment above the existing space, which will be converted into an eating and drinking establishment. The existing dated, concrete building will be renovated using stone, dark woods, black iron hinges and fixtures. An open air connection would be created between the patio and the restaurant. The year-round establishment will feature a menu of flatbreads, meat and cheese boards, and tapas style plates. The drink offerings will include wines, microbrewery beers, and various vodka drinks, with an upscale lounge atmosphere. Zoning The parcel is within the Tourist Related Business (TRB-zone). To the north of the site the zoning is Urban Residential -2 (UR -2). Parcel The parcel has an area of 0.29 acres and has a lot frontage of 100 feet and a depth of 124.9 feet. Water There is service currently within the property. A water district extension would not be needed. Sewer Currently no sewer service is available within the property. A grinder pump station will be needed. Stormwater Stormwater will be managed by an underground infiltration array system. Usage The proposed use of eating and drinking establishment is an approved use. The second floor apartment is an approved use within the TRB zone with a special use permit issued by the City. Variances/Setbacks Second Floor Addition The existing building and parking lot does not conform to the setbacks for the TRB zone. Variances for the Project, as noted on the plan, were obtained from the City on October 24, 2016. Parking The schematic design proposes 17 parking spaces. 2 parking spaces for the apartment, 13.5 spaces for the eating and drinking establishment (1 parking space for every 4 seats (interior or exteriors) = 54 seats/4 seats per parking space), 1.5 parking spaces for the employees (1 parking space for every 2 employees = 3 employees/2). October 2016 Page 1 0 M.J. Engineering and Land Surveying, P.C. .33,,,,,[,,,,,C41,,,q, 4. NY 12. wwwe 1.11 20 Bowman Street SPECIAL USE PERMIT CRITERION 1. The extent to which the use is in harmony with and promotes the general purpose and intension of the Comprehensive Plan and this Chapter This property is located within the Tourist Related Business Zone which is intended to accommodate commercial use and services that are intended to serve the needs of tourists. The property is located between the Thoroughbred Track and the Racino. In this Zone Eating and Drinking Establishments are permitted and the second floor residential use is also a permitted use upon the granting of this Special Use Permit. As a result the proposed use is consistent with the Zoning Code which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The density, intensity and compatibility of the use with the neighborhood and community character — The neighborhood during the Thoroughbred racing meet is by design significantly impacted by the Thoroughbred Track. To the south and this property is in the Horseshoe bar providing food, drink, and outdoor entertainment. To the north is a large vacant parcel that can accommodate more than 100 cars for parking purposes. To the east is a parcel that most likely is pre-existing non -conforming but has two principal buildings on the lot with approximately 7 residential units. Across Bowman Street to the west is another multifamily unit. The Zoning Board granted the area variances required to allow the structure to exist. The only aspect of this Application that needs the Special Use Permit is the single residential unit on the second floor. The residential use is consistent with other properties in the neighborhood and its existence will not detrimentally affect the density or intensity of this site's use in this neighborhood. 3. Safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular access, circulation and parking - The existing commercial site presently has open access to the property all along the Bowman Street frontage. The new design will place the parking on an interior parking lot and will have one curb cut that controls access to the public right of way. A sidewalk will be introduced across the front of the parcel for safe and efficient control of pedestrian traffic in proximity to this site. 4. Existing and future demands on infrastructure, public facilities and services: The site has access to City of Saratoga Springs public water and a grinder pump station will be introduced and engineered to service the requirements for sanitary sewer. 5. The environmental and natural resources of the site and neighboring land including any potential erosion, flooding and excessive light, noise, vibration and the like. The building will have exterior lighting so as to softly illuminate the porch and light the parking area as required for public safety. The only music that will be played will be interior and acoustic in nature. The single-family residence will generate no excessive light, noise or vibration. The site itself is flat and all storm water will be contained on site. 6. The long term economic viability of the site, neighboring properties and district. The City has made a determination that this area should be used as a commercial area servicing tourist. The single-family residence is really a secondary use and based on the need within the community for residential units and its position on the site the Applicant sees no concern with regard to its viability.
