Comments As a resident of Saratoga Springs I have a strong opposition to
the proposed mixed use project at 269 Broadway. The design
clashes with the beautiful historic nature of the brick buildings
on either side of this project and simply doesn't belong in an
area known for its historic buildings. The size of this building
overwhelms the buildings around it and will stick out like a sore
thumb! I am tired of developers taking advantage of loopholes
and zoning code to maximize height of their projects to in-
crease their profits. We are destroying the very fabric of what
makes Saratoga Springs a beautiful city. Allowing projects like
this to be built MUST STOP! This project needs to confirm with
the height and facade of the historic buildings next door. If
McDonald's could conform with a building that doesn't look to-
tally out of character, this developer can do the same. The
building is too tall, uses too much glass and concrete and is
TASTELESS! Please preserve the nature of our city and reject
this design now! This bowing to developers has to stop!
