Comments I cannot state strongly enough how I feel this building , as
shown, will negatively impact our city; the massive structure of
the building, it'smodern design, it's intended use plan will
adversely affect the "flavor" of the neighborhood, the entryway
to the city, the views of Saratoga Springs from this general
location and the scope of new construction in the city.
We are Rapidly overshadowing the Victorian. Charm that IS
Saratoga Springs. We have gradually loosened restrictions on
style, height and use on buildings and these types of oversized,
improperly placed, lot -filling buildings are what are constantly
being proposed now.
As someone who grew up here from 3 generations of
Saratogians; ands returned here out of love for it; I am not sure
how all of this started or became allowable. We do not need or
benefit from these massive squared off buildings.
Why no Victorian- friendly architectural styles or details? Must
all the expense be put into square footage? You can find these
buildings in every town in every city in every state that makes
the same mistake of compromising their uniqueness and
livability for development that focuses only on revenue.
We really have to think about the long-term picture of what we
are doing. The tipping point where we are THAT special
Saratoga Springs no longer.
