Comments Hello,
I need to voice my opinion again on the proposed structure at
269 Broadway which will be presented before the Planning
Board Wednesday evening. I sent a similar letter the first time
this plan was proposed and based on the drawing I have seen,
nothing has changed.
The size of the proposed structure is too large for the space
and as I have stated before, does not fit in or showcase the
type of architecture that is part of Saratoga's history past and
present. This monstrosity would be seen by ALL entering our
beautiful city and I hardly think this is what we would want peo-
ple to see...as I said before, the architecture(s) simply need to
walk around Saratoga to see what can be accomplished with a
new building. Obviously, they have not.
I also understand the there is expectations to include a parking
garage that has many potential issues such as the water table
(according to their own study) which could negatively impact
surrounding buildings and also a limited amount of spaces for
parking.
As a resident of Broadway I fully understand the impact that
limited parking causes -to add more angst to this dilemma is
really unreasonable.
All being said, the size, scope and esthetics of this proposed
structure must be re-thought, again. It just too much!
Thank you for listening to my comments
