Amanda and Susan,
The current design of 269 does not align to the historic village and it is RIGHT on Broadway.
I understand the desire for advancement and new buildings, however the current design and
plan is egregious.
The environmental assessment, the water table, the 400 needed parl<ing spaces, none of this is
logical.
It is time to plan for a scaled back project and match this to our adorable village. If you
put up modern monstrosities such as this that make no environmental sense you are killing the
very reason tourists come to our little hamlet.
Do the right thing.
]ust make it "Saratoga-Sensitive" please. Or you are ruining a great thing we all have here.
People dont come here to see large metal glass buildings that dont fit into the surroundings,
and stand out like large eye sores. They come here to see buildings like the Adelphi and
older restored buildings. That is the charm. That is the class of Saratoga. That is the
tradition.
7ust please do the right thing - these insane decisions have gone on long enough.
I respect the positions you have, and simply want to add my name to these concerns and
implore you to focus on elevating the community and the view of our town, and not destroy it.
Thank you for your time and for your swift attention to these matters.
