Re: Site Plan Review—269 Broadway—Multi-Use Building
Dear Ms. Barden,
Enclosed please find the following documents for the Planning Board's review:
• Comment Response Letter (3 copies)
• Site Plan (3 copies)
• Architectural Plans & Renderings, including Civic Space (3 copies)
• Traffic Impact Study with Parking Analysis (3 copies)
Proiect 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. The adjacent Church has signed a
contract allowing the use of 38' of land as a permanent easement. This will allow the Civic Space to be placed in this
land, as well as a sidewalk to access the side entrance of the proposed building.
Buildin
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. 13,925 sf) and exterior balcony
• Third floor—office (approx. 18,906 sf) and exterior balcony
• Fourth and fifth floors—office (approx. 18,853 sf each floor) and exterior balcony
• Sixth floor—office (approx. 13,728 sf) and exterior balcony
Parkin�
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. A parking analysis has been
performed and included in the attached Traffic Impact Study. The analysis quantifies the number of available spaces
throughout the day compared to the estimated demand for the building.
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.
Usa�e
The uses of office, restaurant and retail are all allowed uses within the T-6 Transect Zone.

Truck Deliveries
The applicant will request deliveries such as UPS and Fedex to come daily at a fixed time to reduce the number of
deliveries to the building. It is anticipated that the restaurant will have one delivery a day with food and twice a
week for liquor. The applicant will work with the vendor to deliver at an optimal time for adjacent neighbors.
Garbage pickup will occur two times a week which is described in detail below.
Solid Waste
Two four yard dumpsters on casters will be provided for solid waste and one four yard dumpster will be provided for
recycling which will be picked up at a minimum of twice a week.The garbage truck will approach the dumpster area
from the south and pull off into the designated loading area on Hamilton. The bins will be rolled out be hand through
the gates and then be emptied by the truck. The bins will then be rolled back into the gated dumpster area.
While it is hard to know the exact amount of solid waste generated by this building, an estimate has been created
using Solid Waste Generation Rates calculated by the State of California.
Waste Generation Source Generation Rate Units of Measure Total
Retail 4.75 Ib/emp/day 14 employees 67 Ibs per day
Office 0.006 Ib/sf/day 78,038 sf 468 Ibs per day
Restaurant 0.005 Ib/sf/day 6,227 sf 31 Ibs per day
566 Ibs per day
We expect that the office would be open 5 days a week and the restaurant and retail likely 5-6 days a week. To be
conservative in our calculations we can calculate for the full week, creating approximately 3,962 Ibs (566 *7) of waste
per week(both recycling and solid waste). A four yard dumpster can hold approximately 800 Ibs of waste, so
therefore the capacity of 3 four yard dumpsters picked up twice a week is 4,800 Ibs, which is ample for this building.
The applicant will work with the garbage disposal company regarding the timing of the pickup and to ensure that the
frequency meets the demand of the building.
Additionally, the clean out for the grease trap will be located within the gated dumpster/utility area and will be easily
accessible for the clean out service.
Utilities
The building will be serviced by public water and sewer with connections on Hamilton Street.
Stormwater Mana�ement
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.
Permanent Easement with Church
The easement agreement has been sent to the City Attorney for review.

Coordination with Properties to the North
The Applicant's attorney is in the process of coordinating a construction easement with the properties to the north.
Construction Sta�in�
The applicant has arranged with the Church to use the athletic field on Hamilton Street for construction staging,
laydown and equipment storage. After the project concludes, the applicant will improve the athletic field to the
satisfaction of the Church.
SHPO
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 consideration for Site Plan approval.
Sincerely,
