A DVISORY O PINION
In consideration of the Request for an Advisory Opinion by the City Council
PB App #20210062
Marion Ave/Maple Dell PUD
Saratoga Springs, New York 12866
Background:
The Design Review Commission heard a presentation on the revised project proposal at the meetings held on May
19 and June 2, 2021. The DRC has reviewed this project based on the evaluation criteria listed in Section 10.2.6.3
of the Zoning Ordinance which requires that the DRC establish that the proposed project is not contrary to the
intent and objectives of Article 7.5 Architectural Review.
In evaluating this project, the Design Review Commission has focused its review on the areas that are a part of the
Architectural Review District directly adjacent to Route 50 and Marion Avenue.
Considerations:
- The Commission has reviewed the proposal for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and does not identify
any aspects of the proposed project that would negatively impact the character or quality of the adjacent
properties or surrounding Architectural Review Districts.
- The DRC does not find the proposal to be inconsistent or contrary to the objectives listed under Article
7.5 for the Architectural Review District under the City’s Zoning Ordinance.
- While the DRC does not find this proposal to be inconsistent with the Zoning Ordinance, it recognizes
that any future projects for development would come before the Design Review Commission for full review
of any proposed structures that fall within a Review District.
Following discussion on this matter on May 19 and June 2, 2021, the Design Review Commission issues the
following opinion:
Motion to issue a Favorable advisory opinion to the City Council on the requested PUD – passed 7-0
(Ehinger, Mechem, Bennett, DiCarlo, DuBoff, Sheehan, Smith)
Respectfully submitted,
Design Review Commission
