Re: Request for SEQR Analysis—269 Broadway—Multi-Use Building
Dear Ms. Barden,
Enclosed please find the following Sketch Plan documents for the Planning Board's review:
• Site Plan (3 copies)
• Architectural Plans & Renderings, including Civic Space (3 copies)
• Long Environmental Assessment Form (3 copies)
• Traffic Impact Study (3 copies)
• SHPO correspondence (3 copies)
• Site Plan Application
Project Overview
Our client proposes to construct a 6 story mixed-use building located at 269 Broadway (Tax Parcel 165.75-1-7),which is
approximately 0.52+/-acres in size. Currently the site, which is in the T-6 Transect Zone, is vacant, except for a small
parking lot. The site has frontage on both Broadway and Hamilton Street. Since our last submission, the adjacent
Church has signed a contract allowing the use of 38' of land as an easement. This will allow the Civic Space to be placed
in this land, as well as a sidewalk to access the main entrance of the proposed building.
Building
The proposed 70'-0" high building would be comprised of the following:
• First floor- retail (approx. 17,320 sf)
• Second floor—office and restaurant (approx. 14,318 sf) and exterior balcony
• Third through fifth floors—office (approx. 16,952 sf each floor) and exterior balcony
• Sixth floor—office (approx. 12,091 sf) and exterior balcony
Parking
While no parking is required within the T-6 zone,the project proposes 2 levels of underground parking which would
contain 70 parking spaces. The parking garage would be accessed from Hamilton Street.
Traffic
The roadway network and intersections surrounding the proposed development have sufficient capacity to
accommodate the anticipated trips generated.The inclusion of the parking on site will provide additional parking in this
area of Saratoga Springs for the employees of the building and patrons of the businesses during non-working hours.
Usage
The uses of office, restaurant and retail are all allowed uses within the T-6 Transect Zone.
Utilities
The building will be serviced by public water and sewer.

Stormwater Management
Although the building and site improvements result in disturbance of less than 1 acre, a full stormwater pollution
prevention plan (SWPPP)will be prepared in accordance with City code which requires a full SWPPP for non-residential
activities disturbing 0.1 acres or more. The project will include a combination of an underground cistern and
underground stormwater array to address water quality and water quantity to be in compliance with NYSDEC
regulations.
SHP0
The New York State Historic Preservation Office has reviewed the project including Building Renderings and Site Plans
and has issued the enclosed No Adverse Impact letter.
We request that this project be placed on the next Planning Board agenda for SEAR analysis. We are also requesting a
meeting with DRC and have sent materials to Amanda Tucker for her review.
Sincerely,
