A DVISORY O PINION
In consideration of the Request for an Advisory Opinion by the Zoning Board of Appeals
ZBA App #20210987
St. Peter’s Signage
46 Congress Place
Saratoga Springs, New York 12866
involving a proposed wall sign on a façade without frontage/entrance and two freestanding off-premise signs within
the Transect-6 Urban Core District, tax parcel # 165.-7-1.11, within the City of Saratoga Springs.
Following discussion on this matter on January 12, 2022, the Commission issues the following opinion:
Considerations:
1. The wall signage on the façade is unnecessary and confusing.
2. The Congress Street freestanding sign is appropriate and is the entrance that should be emphasized.
3. The South Franklin Street freestanding sign may not be necessary at all. If it should remain, it should be
smaller than proposed and with a directional arrow, as it is in a residential area. Some members thought that
this sign could be eliminated in its entirety.
Record of vote: motion to approve made by T. Ehinger, seconded by J. Gritsavage: passed 7-0
In favor: T. Ehinger, R. DuBoff, C. Bennett, L. DiCarlo, J. Gritsavage, T. Roemer, E. Sheehan
