Part 1 /Question 20 [Remediation Site] No Short Environmental Assessment Form - EAF Mapper Summary Report 1 Project Narrative and Site Plan waiver request Hanley Application for Special Use Permit March 2022 The Applicant seeks a special use permit for a private club as depicted on the attached Plan. A "civic or private club" is a permitted use with a special use permit in a UR-3 zoning district pursuant to Section 2.0 (page 6) of the Zoning Ordinance. A "civic or private club" is defined as a social, fraternal, religious, or social organization not primarily operated for profit nor rendering a service that is customarily carried on as a business. The private club would be available for use by the members of a homeowner's association (and their guests)who maintain ownership interests in existing or to-be-constructed residences along Union Avenue, Snyder Lane and Mitchell Street. The homeowner's association will function in a manner customarily found in HOA's around the city that are charged with the responsibility of maintaining common areas. Establishment of the club on this lot will serve two primary purposes. First, it will provide access for members and their guests to a clubhouse structure, a swimming pool and common area that will provide an important social component within the neighborhood. Second, it will minimize the desire for owners to install their own private pools adjacent to the residential units envisioned for the neighborhood. Article 7 of the Zoning Code makes provision for the issuance of a special use permit under the criteria established in Section 7.1.3. Section 7.1.1 delegates to the Planning Board the responsibility to review special use permit applications "to ensure the protection of public health, safety, and welfare and to mitigate any adverse impacts on surrounding properties and community character." The six criteria set forth in Section 7.1.3A are designed to "ensure that the proposed use will not adversely affect surrounding properties and community character. Those criteria are set forth as follows: 1. The extent to which the use is in harmony with and promotes the general purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and this Chapter. Applicant's Response: Zoning Code Section 1.3 identifies the Intent and Purposes of the Ordinance. Section 1.3(B) delineates the purposes for which the regulations and district boundaries have been established. Those purposes include the following which pertain to the common pool and cabana amenity for the HOA. 1 G:\Proj-2021\2021014_Saratoga Springs_Property Development Union Ave Mitchell_Street�2021014Submission Archive\2022-SUP�Project Narrative.docx (2) Assurance of adequate sites for residential, agricultural,industrial, commercial and other annronriate uses; (3) Provision of privacy for families and the maximum protection of residential areas; (4) Prevention and reduction of traffic congestion so as to promote efficient and safe circulation of vehicles and pedestrians; (5) Gradual elimination of nonconforming uses. Discussion: Development of residential structures befitting the grandeur of the historic Saratoga Racetrack will be facilitated by this project by encouraging development that will add single-family and two-family structures along Union Avenue, Snyder Lane, and Mitchell Street. The common amenity will distinguish the project from others in the City. The Layout of the overall project adds to the privacy of this residential neighborhood and the common pool avoids traffic circulation to and from the residences due to its proximity to the residences. Much of the land contemplated for the construction of the homes is currently used for racetrack parking, a non- conforming use that will be eliminated as homes are constructed on the lots. The Applicant envisions the special use permit providing for the common clubhouse and pool as central to inducing the development of the homes in this unique area of the City. The Comprehensive Plan: Under Section 3.4 of the Comprehensive Plan the housing goals and objectives are set forth beginning at page 47. Among the recommended actions in that section are the following: 3.4-6 Identify priority gateways into the City, such as Route 50 and South Broadway, and develop/review guidelines for appropriate area- specific amenities and treatments. 3.4-7 All development and rehabilitation should be respectful of the original community character. 3.4-8 Increase the development of public and private outdoor plazas and meeting spaces to enhance the sense of community. The amenity space being provided in this special use permit application will be the catalyst for development of the new single-family and two-family residences directly as well as the restoration of the existing structures opposite our historic racetrack. This is precisely the type of project contemplated in the recommended actions of the community form, design and quality in Sections 3.4-1 et. seq. of the Comprehensive 2 G:\Proj-2021\2021014_Saratoga Springs_Property Development Union Ave Mitchell_Street�2021014Submission Archive\2022-SUP�Project Narrative.docx Plan. 2. The density, intensity and compatibility of the use with the neighborhood and community character. Applicant's Response: The primary function of the private club is to provide a clubhouse and swimming pool for the household units that will be constructed on Union Avenue, Snyder Lane and Mitchell Street. The proximity of the pool to the units will diminish the need for individual homeowners to maintain swimming pools immediately adjacent to their units. The club will also serve as a small gathering area for these neighbors and provide a sense of community and social interaction for the residents and their guests. The pool and clubhouse will not impact either the density or intensity of the neighborhood since the lot will not serve as a residence, rather it is limited to serving as an amenity for homeowners and their guests. Swimming pools are common amenities for residences east of Circular Street and the intended impact of this community swimming pool would be to reduce the number of pools on individual homeowner lots. 3. Safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular access, circulation and parking. Applicant's Response: Most residents will use Snyder Lane or the Mitchell Street sidewalks to access the club which is a short walk from these to-be- constructed homes. Given the proximity of the homes to the club, there will be no need for on-site parking. Guests of residents would be instructed to park in the spaces belonging to the individual residents of the HOA. 4. Existing and future demand on infrastructure,public facilities and services. Applicant's Response: The pool would be primarily operational only during the summer months. Additionally the clubhouse amenity will be constructed on lands that replace the existing residence on the property so minimal increase of demand on infrastructure is anticipated. As such,its impact on infrastructure, public facilities and services would be de minimus. 5. The environmental and natural resources of the site and neighboring lands including any potential erosion, flooding or excessive light, noise, vibration and the like. Applicant's Response: The private club area would function as an amenity used in common by HOA residents and their guests. There would be no impacts associated with erosion, flooding,vibration, and the like. HOA rules will limit use of the pool to hours commensurate with other private clubs in order to minimize impacts of light and noise. 3 G:\Proj-2021\2021014_Saratoga Springs_Property Development Union Ave Mitchell_Street�2021014Submission Archive\2022-SUP�Project Narrative.docx 6. The long-term economic viability of the site, neighboring properties and districts. Applicant's Response: Inasmuch as the private club serves as an amenity for the residents within the HOA and since immediate neighbors will all be residents of the HOA, the economic viability of the club will be assured through assessments on all HOA residences. The economic viability of neighboring properties and districts will be unaffected by the HOA's operation of the private club. Site Plan waiver request The applicant would like to request that the planning board waive the site plan review as a condition of the special use permit per section 7.1.11 b. The site plan aspects of the project will be reviewed under the special use permit process. 4 G:\Proj-2021\2021014_Saratoga Springs_Property Development Union Ave Mitchell_Street�2021014Submission Archive\2022-SUP�Project Narrative.docx �SUC�! _��`, Sir ��1t�'Of t�[77'[Zt0�77.��)1'l'3LbS � ` f!: De��nr�tl��elat, af Prrblic TT�vr�l�s � �� `s ilt3t�701�1��.
