I live in Ballston Spa, NY. I am an employee of Saratoga Hospital. While I do not live in Saratoga Springs, I know many people who do who rely upon this hospital to continue to grow to meet the needs of the entire community, now and in the future. I rely upon this hospital. I urge you and your colleagues on the Planning Board to provide a positive recommendation —without any changes or exceptions on the proposed updated zoning map for the City of Saratoga.Springs. As you know, a positive Planning Board recommendation is an important next step in advancing Saratoga Hospital's plans to develop medical offices on Morgan Street. The hospital believes these plans are essential to the future of healthcare in Saratoga coun and I agree. I trust Saratoga Hospital and its medical team to do what's best for the health of our region. Now, and for the future. The hospital has been caring for our community from its Church Street location for more than a century long before surrounding homes existed. As this community has grown, the hospital must also grow to meet those needs in an ever-more complicated healthcare landscape. And the hospital has always been a good neighbor, working hard to address the concerns of nearby residents. Yet a small group of people in the mixed-use neighborhood is trying to block a project that will benefit the entire community. That's just not right. The zoning map that's up for review was developed as part of a lengthy six-year process that included multiple opportunities for community input. Most recently, the Saratoga County Planning Board reviewed the updated map and provided a positive opinion to the City Council. https://m.saratoga-springs.org/h/printmessage?id=83753&tz=America/New York 1/2 4/30/2019 Zimbra Now, it's your turn.

PMH • https.//m.saratoga-springs.org/h/printmessage?id= 83777&tz=America/New York 111 Saratoga Springs Planning Board Saratoga Springs, New York 1286 40 Seward St. Saratoga Springs, New York 12856 I am writing to document my serious concerns about the efforts being made to rezone the neighborhood I live in, the Morgan Street area in Saratoga Springs, from residential to essentially commercial. My name is Ina Marney. I have lived in my home for 35 years. I have lived in the city of Saratoga since I was a small child in the mid 50's. So that you don't think I have a background in the development of Saratoga, my father was Nat Oppenheim who spent his working career as the Saratoga County Promotion Director until his death in 1984. I grew up promoting Saratoga Springs and Saratoga County. It hurts my heart to speak badly about the growth in Saratoga. This area has always been a residential neighborhood that is bordered on the west by Saratoga Hospital. The homes are modest, and most are not even 2000 sq ft. Many are raised ranches with a foot print of barely 800 sq ft. The building the hospital proposes to build in our neighborhood is 75,000 sq ft with an option of more space. This building alone is larger than 35 of the homes in total. Rather large and invasive. They plan on a parking lot for 400 cars. I can not even envision a 400 -car lot until I pass the Honda dealership on the way out of town. There are already massive parking lots surrounding the hospital. The hospital says they plan on moving 100 doctors to this building: with 100 doctors and minimally 2 staff per doctor, that is 300 cars per day. They then said doctors only see two patients an hour. Not true, they schedule every 15 minutes. That is 4 per hour, or 400 more cars in and out each hour looking for parking. with only 100 spots left, where do they park? On our streets? In front of our homes? All these cars lead to even bigger traffic issues than now exist. I have problems getting out of my driveway now as cars short cut town by using Seward Street. They speed up the hill and can barely stop when they see a car pulling in or out of a driveway. Morgan street is a very narrow street that two cars can barely pass on with another blind rise. Adding 400 or more cars a day is an accident waiting to happen. The traffic would impact for many blocks, including the elementary school two blocks away. There was a water problem before the new apartments were built and it has becoming a bigger problem as there is no ground for water to drain into and when it rains water flows into the yards and driveways on the East Side of Seward Street. The city has already had to create two drains at the foot of Morgan Street for the first time in history. My driveway has had to be rebuilt to prevent the water from coming into my house. The lights put up for the apartments and the hospital have created a huge light pollution problem. It looks like day light at night. Broadway is not as well lit. There is no need to build this building in our neighborhood. The hospital claims the doctors need to get to the hospital in an emergency. Well, they already have competent doctors in the hospital. It is not vital to get there in a hurry. Matter of fact, I doubt any doctor, except an obstetrician, has ever gone to the hospital from their office when called. And they are only in their offices 4 days a week for about B hours. What about the other hours of the day and the weekends? Do we not have emergencies? No, there are always doctors at the hospital. No need for instant appearances. If they are so concerned about being close to the hospital at a moment's notice, they should buy our homes. There are three places they can build in Saratoga Springs with little or no negative impacts on any residential neighborhood. 1. The area across the street from the emergency rooms. It is a parking lot, actually 3 parking lots. Build a building and parking garage. I know it doesn't get away from the traffic issue, but it will not add another parking lot to our neighborhood. The only people who would see the building would be the hospital. It would be even closer. 2. Build on the land adjacent to the hospital buildings at exit 15. a. There is open land for a huge building and parking lot close to their two existing medical buildings should a problem occur. b. There is clear and easy traffic access. c. There is bus service. d. They already have moved doctors into these buildings. 3. The soon to be vacant office building on Broadway when AYco moves to Latham. a. The building exists and since they want offices, only some modifications will be needed. b. A big parking lot exists that is currently only used by AYCO. c. The streets are wider and can accept the anticipated traffic. d. There is bus service at the door. e. There are many restaurants nearby. As you see, there are more negatives about rezoning the Morgan Street area to allow the hospital to build on Morgan Street. Having this big intrusive addition to our neighborhood would greatly reduce the property value of our homes. who would intentionally move into a neighborhood with these issues? It would completely destroy any value in the historic $2,000,000 Markey Estate. They would have a 400 -car parking lot in their front yard. Please do not allow the rezoning of our residential neighborhood. It would completely destroy the area I live in. Sincerely, Ina o.

I am also a type 1 diabetic who works in clinical research, making me both personally and professionally ingested in access to qualm healthcare across New York, Following nay diabetes diagnosis at 13, nay family and I spent years commuting to appointments all over the capital District, trying to patch together the care I needed. It wasn't until I moved from the area that I was able to access coordinated specialty care in a single location, and experience the difference that excellent care makes in managing a lifelong illness. The community of Saratoga springs will have an opportunity to access similarly well - coordinated, conveniently located, high-quality healthcare if the Saratoga hospital medical office center project is built. I strongly encourage the Planning Board and other members of local government to support this transformative investment in our community and recommend the updated zoning map be approved.

This is a residential neighborhood and should remain that way regardless of who the potential new owners would be. We urge you to vote against this zoning change for several reasons: �) Before we purchased our property in 2016, we reviewed the zoning around our property to make sure that there wouldn't be any surprises down the road (something we learned about from our last property). Everything was listed as residential. Now we are being told that the .... ...... ......... .. ... Comprehensive Plan of 2015 would allo. ......... w this'property to be zoned "Institutional". The City has been, and is still, providing inaccurate data as to the status of this property. While I realize the zoning hasn't officially changed, there should at a minimum be an indicator on the City zoning map that shows the area is up for change. In my opinion the city would be opening itself to legal action. 2) There is significant local opposition to the zoning change which was demonstrated by the number of people that showed up to the last City Council Meeting. 3) I live at the bottom of the hill. Where is all of the water going to go from the impermeable space caused by the large buildings and parking lots? In https://m.saratoga-springs.orglh/printmessage?id=83040&tz=America/New York 1l2 4/22/2019 Zimbra the end it is going to end up behind my house. 4) The traffic around our neighborhood is sure to increase,. Morgan,, Seward and Myrtle Streets are all already narrow. On Morgan, for example, there is barely enough room for two cars to pass by each other, especially on the bend. s) At the recent City Council meeting on this subject, Todd Shimkus, who was part of the Comprehensive Committee mentioned that out of all of the parcels they voted on, that this was the only unanimous vote. When it came to city residents speaking at the meeting, this was the only parcel of land that was discussed and had any opposition. That alone should give someone pause. To be clear, the only unanimous vote was on the most controversial issue. How could this have been a fair and unbiased process? 6) Because there was no opposition to the other parcels that are part of the rezoning map, why not carve out the parcel on Morgan Street, directly adjacent to Birch Run, from the process,, The Morgan Street parcel deserves its own focused discussions and public comments. 7) Some people are trying to make this about the Hospital. It is not. This is about changing the character of a neighborhood from Residential to Institutional. Do you want the land next to your house rezoned to Institutional? I'm guessing not. So why do it to us?

Whenever there is a consideration for changing ,zoning within the city from residential to commercial, there needs to be careful consideration for the residential community that stands to be adversely impacted by the move, no matter how small the group that would be directly impacted. There may be a larger adverse affect also. However, the immediate neighborhood ........... -and its residents,.must be a priority.. We would all expect this treatment if our. neighborhood were to be directly impacted by zoning changes. I have already written about my concerns of the added environmental impact and devaluation of property values. I was given a copy of a suggested letter of support for the hospital, written by the Saratoga Hospital VP, Devin Ronayne. The letter addresses the zoning change and states, " I know there is opposition by a group of residents near Saratoga Hospital, hoping to further delay or deny any approvals the hospital needs. However, this project is bigger than one small group -it has the potential to affect people across the county who rely on its only hospital. I am one of those people, and I trust Saratoga Hospital to do the right thing, for all of the right reasons." https:Hm-saratoga-springs.orgih/printmessage?id=82982&tz=America/New York 113 4/2212019 Zimbra There needs to be discussion with the neighbors why the Saratoga Hospital needs that location for its continued delivery of health care. l was told, andlease forgive nye if this is not p g true, that at a past planning board meeting a physician stated that offices on the hospital campus are necessary to address hospital inpatient emergencies, l would ask ghat physicians do after office hours? Most hospitals today, including the Saratoga Hospital, employ hospitalists to care for sick people in the hospital. The days are gone when most physicians have to leave their busy offices to answer a hospital emergency. There is considerable in hospital patient support 24 hours a day from hospitalists who care for inpatients. This common practice has freed most physicians from leaving their offices in the event of an emergency. l am not suggesting that this never happens, but it is much less common in today's practice. Many groups have a physician who is scheduled for emergencies so no one has to leave their office and patients. Has the hospital looked at non-residential locations for their project? l am sure you aro aware of the trend for much of health care today to move outside of the hospital and into outpatient clinics. There is a medical and financial benefit. wouldn't a location closer to main highways be more desirable than increased traffic in a residential area? wouldn't a more accessible location serve a greater number of people? Are there reimbursement incentives driving the desire for the hospital project to be on the hospital campus? is there a better use of existing properties in the immediate area? I believe it would be prudent to have all of the interested parties formally sit down and discuss the issues. Maybe there is a compromise that would serve all of the parties interests. Maybe there are other alternatives for the hospital. I am certain that the community of Birch Run and Morgan Street rely on the hospital and have a great deal of respect for the medical community that helps to make this a great city. l am sure the hospital is trustworthy. However, there are always unforeseen consequences. In my opinion, putting the breaks on the decision is called for until more research is done and all involved parties have a more in depth understanding of the issues. The Saratoga Hospital is certainly an important part of our community, being one of many medical communities that serve Saratoga county and surrounding areas. I have the privilege of personally knowing many of the residents of Birch Run who are of high caliber. They are concerned and responsible citizens of Saratoga. They should have their voice heard. l would expect the same if any commercial endeavor were coming into nay back yard. With much res. .. ......pect........ .......... . ... .. . I. ........ ....

My opposition to the rezoning of this parcel is driven by a number of environmental concerns that would arise from any non-residential development that may occur subsequent to the rezoning. My concerns include, but are not limited to: • Traffic congestion: The rezoning of this parcel from residential to institutional has the potential to substantially increase vehicle traffic through all of the surrounding neighborhood streets. Seward, Morgan, Myrtle and church Streets are already heavily trafficked and would be even more negatively impacted. • Safety: The increased traffic would pose a greater safety issue for pedestrians, runners and bicyclists. • Light and Eloise Pollution: If the property is rezoned from residential to institutional and the facility is built, there is a high probability that the amount of light and noise generated would negatively impact the environment of the Birch Run neighborhood and surrounding properties. • !mater Runoff: This area currently provides for the natural drainage of mater. Depending on how the property is developed subsequent to the proposed rezoning there is a risk that the water drainage and ground water table will be altered in such a way as to negatively affect the surrounding neighborhoods. Property values: l have lived in Birch Run for over 20 years and am highly concerned that the environmental impacts referenced above will negatively impact not only my .. .......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... . ......................... . property value but also the high quality of life in my neighborhood. Thank you and your colleagues on the Planning Board for taking my concerns and formal opposition to the proposed zoning change into consideration.

Saratoga Springs has grown and changed significantly over the last 90+ years, however, a measured and thoughtful approach to zoning has served the City well (to date). City residents make decisions based on the current zoning regulations when purchasing a home, and this should be considered/ respected -with respect to any rezoning measures. The proposed rezoning which would allow Saratoga Hospital to erect a large medical office building and parking lot - at the end of Myrtle and Morgan streets - would severely and adversely impact the residents of Seward, Morgan and Myrtle streets. The increased traffic volume and congestion, on these narrow streets, would be dangerous and pose safety concerns. Saratoga Hospital has the ability to expand, given its current footprint (including the contiguous parking lot), and should look to do so - to minimize the adverse safety issues to their neighbors on Seward, Morgan and Myrtle streets. Please decline to approve the modification from residential to institutional of the vacant land on Morgan street identified as Parcel #1 in the UDO, Zoning Map, dated March 2019, Thank you for your consideration.

My name is Ina Harney. I have lived in my home for 35 years. I have lived in the city of Saratoga since I was a small child in the mid 50's. So that you don't think I have a background in the development of Saratoga, my father was Nat Oppenheim who spent his working career as the Saratoga County Promotion Director until his death in 1084. 1 grew up promoting Saratoga Springs and Saratoga County. It hurts my heart to speak badly about the growth in Saratoga. This area has always been a residential neighborhood that is bordered on the west by Saratoga Hospital. The homes are modest, and most are not even 2000 sq ft. Many are raised ranches with a foot print of barely Soo sq ft. The building the hospital proposes to build in our neighborhood is 75,000 sq ft with an option of more space. This building alone is larger than 35 of the homes in total. Rather large and invasive. They plan on a parking lot for 400 cars. I can not even envision a 400 -car lot until I pass the Honda dealership on the way out of town. There are already massive parking lots surrounding the hospital. The hospital says they plan on moving 100 doctors to this building. with 100 doctors and minimally 2 staff per doctor, that is 300 cars per day. They then said doctors only see two patients an hour. Not true, they schedule every 15 minutes. That is 4 per hour, or 400 more cars in and out each hour looking for parking. with only 100 spots left, where do they park? On our streets? In front of our homes? All these cars lead to even bigger traffic issues than now exist. I have problems getting out of my driveway now as cars short cut town by using Seward Street. They speed up the hill and can barely stop when they see a car pulling in or out of a driveway. Morgan street is a very narrow street that two cars can barely pass on with another blind rise. Adding 400 or more cars,a day is an accident waiting to happen. The traffic would impact for many blocks, including the elementary school two blocks away. There was a water problem before the new apartments were built and it has becoming a bigger problem as there is no ground for water to drain into and when it rains water flows into the yards and driveways on the East Side of Seward Street. The city has already had to create two drains at the foot of Morgan Street for the first time in history. My driveway has had to be rebuilt to prevent the water from coming into my house. The lights put up for the apartments and the hospital have created a huge light pollution problem. It looks like day light at night. Broadway is not as well lit. There is no need to build this building in our neighborhood. The hospital claims the doctors need to get to the hospital in an emergency. Well, they already have competent doctors in the hospital. It is not vital to get there in a hurry. Matter of fact, I doubt any doctor, except an obstetrician, has ever gone to the hospital from their office when called. And they are only in their offices 4 days a week for about S hours. What about the other hours of the day and the weekends? Do we not have emergencies? No, there are always doctors at the hospital. No need for instant appearances. If they are so concerned about being close to the hospital at a moment's notice, they should buy our homes. There are three places they can build in Saratoga Springs with little or no negative impacts on any residential neighborhood. 1. The area across the street from the emergency rooms. it is a parking lot, actually 3 parking lots. Build a building and parking garage. I know it doesn't get away from the traffic issue, but it will not add another parking lot to our neighborhood. The only people who would see the building would be the hospital. It would be even closer. 2. Build on the land adjacent to the hospital buildings at exit 15. a. There is open land for a huge building and parking lot close to their two existing medical buildings should a problem occur. b. There is clear and easy traffic access. c. There is bus service. d. They already have moved doctors into these buildings. 3. The soon to be vacant office building on Broadway when AYCO moves to Latham. a. The building exists and since they want offices, only some modifications will be needed. b. A big parking lot exists that is currently only used by AYCO. c. The streets are wider and can accept the anticipated traffic. d. There is bus service at the door. e. There are many restaurants nearby. ....As.

Having this big intrusive addition to our neighborhood would greatly reduce the property value of our homes. Who would intentionally move into a neighborhood with these issues? It would completely destroy any value in the historic $2,000,000 Markey Estate. They would have a 400 -car parking lot in their front yard. Please do not allow the rezoning of our residential neighborhood. it would completely destroy the area I live in. Sincerely, Ina o. Harney y. APR p �r 2019 Mr. Mark Torpey April 11, 2019 Saratoga Springs Planning Board Chairman via e-mail Jennifer Merriman Saratoga Springs, New York, 12866 M Dear Mr. Torpey: We are writing to you in capacities as the presidents of the Birch Run Homeowners Associations Phase I and II to express our strenuous opposition to the rezoning of the vacant land adjacent to Birch Run on Morgan Street identified as Parcel #1 in the Unified Development Ordinance (UID), zoning Map, dated March 2019 from residential to institutional. we represent the 69 homeowners who would be adversely affected by the proposed rezoning which would allow the Saratoga Hospital to erect a large medical office building and parking lot abutting the southern perimeter of Birch Run. The opposition to the re -zoning of this parcel is driven by a wide range of concerns. These include but are not necessarily limited to: • Traffic Longesti12n, — rezoning of this parcel from residential to institutional will substantially increase traffic through all of the surrounding neighborhood streets, with a disproportionally negative impact on. Seward, Morgan and Myrtle streets. This increased traffic would not only negatively impact the environment of the surrounding neighborhoods it would pose a safety issue. The traffic study previously done in 2016 in connection with the proposed medical office building compared the forecast traffic volumes with traffic volumes found in metropolitan communities not the type of traffic experienced in Saratoga Springs. ® — Birch Run maintains a stonn water sewer system. The previous site plan for the proposed building and parking showed the drainage directed so that it would end up in the Birch Run storm sewer system which is already at maximum capacity. This system does not have capacity for any additional flow of water that would result with the planned development of a large building and parking lot on Marcel 1 of the UDS]. • Light P_ollutian` a large office and parking lot will generate an amount of light that would negatively impact the environment of the surrounding properties. • Yahm- -- beyond the concerns noted above, a large medical building and parking lot will sign scantly reduce our property values. All Birch Run owners purchased their. homes with a reasonable . expectation and reliance that adjoining property would continue to be zoned as residential. The proposed rezoning will cause real economic harm to Birch Run homeowners. We ask that you and your colleagues take the concerns and expressed opposition to the proposed zoning change into consideration and recommend to the City Council that it decline to approve the modification from residential to institutional.

CJ Apri 110, 2013 Re: Petition to reject Zoning change for Saratoga Hospital's commercial development of 8.5 acres for a 53 foot high, 88,500 sq. ft. building with a 300 space parking lot in a Residential neighborhood Chairman Mark Torpey, My wife & I are full-time residents in the Birch Run homeowners association which adjoins the residential property where this large commercial development is proposed. Before we purchased our home we checked the zoning for the surrounding area and all of it was zoned "Residential'. Re -zoning the adjoining property to 'Institutional' is a textbook example of urban sprawl the very problem the City of Saratoga Springs Comprehensive Master Plan is supposed to curtail. Our neighborhood has residential roads.

No one is a g a i nst Sa ratoga Hos pita I per s e, but a rea homeowners a re extremely frustrated by the Hospital's haphazard growth, the City of Sa ratoga's apparent lack of meaningful oversight, and so far only apparent disregard for our property rights and our major investment (our homes).

The City Council ma i nta i ns that a I I NY publ is meeti ng notice requi rements were fol lowed i n movi n this • g project forward, which is simply NOT true. The area homeowners were never ivenpublic notice before Hospital's proposed change to the Comprehensive Master Plan. The ro osed change was laced on the committee's Agenda the same night it was heard by a member of the hospital's staff. The committee voted upon a motion with assistance from the Hospital's attorne (Matt Jones), and assistance from a committee member who is with construction company for proposed development (Bonacio Construction) . There is nothing transparent about this, except the shadiness of it. page Iof3 Re: Petition to reject Zoning change for Saratoga Hospital's commercial development Claims to the contrary, Saratoga Hospital has NOT been smart nor disci lined in making good use of their existing properties, andering development of their existing acreage, and are now asking he Cit of Saratoa a S rin s to allow them to continue to do so for an additional 8.5 acres.

All of the parking lots are flat. The OBGYN center & Dialysis center are single story structures, and the Myrtle Park Administration building is two stories. None of the buildings were built with Parking underneath nor is there any multi -deck parking. These were decisions the Hospital made, and the City of Saratoga approved. Now the Hospital seeks to encroach on a residential area with a 53 foot high, 58,500 sq. ft. commercial development with a pother flat parking lot with 300 spaces ! Lack of proper l a nning by the Hos ital as well as lack of proper oversight by the City of Sarato a S rin s SHOULD NOT BE REWARDED WITH MORE OF THE AME . It is not s ma rt growth but URBAN SPRAWL; makes a MOCKERY of a `COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN'; unnecessarily REMOVES 8.5 ACRES FROM County, City & School TAX ROLLS; and WILL CAUSE ECONOMIC HARM TO AREA RESIDENTS by diminishing our property values. The Hosital recently had 3.26 acres at 55 M rtle Street donated to them (in 2015 by the DiCresce family), which ad'oins their existing 17.98 acres of Parking lots at 35 M rile Street (see attached 2015 Hospital site pian). THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT NEED TO EXPAND INTO 8.5 ACRES OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, but wants to regardless of the neighborhood impact. The Hospital can use the property donated to them and can build their -desired commercial office but l d i n u on the three contiguous feces of under-utilized p rope rtthe a-1 rea dy own and which total 21.24 acres. page 2 of 3 Re: Petition to reject Zoning change for Saratoga Hospital's commercial development DA Collins was the developer of Birch Run, and the property in question was to be Phase iii of our homeowners association. Our fear is that the request by the Hospital to develop 8.5 acres of residential property still owned by DA Collins Construction is only art of a larger expansion which the Hospital wants to da and the HOSPITAL IS 'PIECEMEALING' (SEGMENTING) THEIR PROPOSALS FOR APPROVAL by the City of Saratoga Springs A PARCEL AT A TIME TO AVOID MORE CRITICAL SCRUTINY. The Hospital's GRAND PLAN was to develo all 13.7 acres of land between Birch Run Homeowners Association and the Saratoga Golf & Polo Club rounds. The additional 5.2 acres (original 13.7 minus current 8.5 acres) were intended to be for 42 residential units up Myrtle Avenue along the golf course. The 5.2 ACRES STILL OWNED BY DA COLLINS Construction, which was removed from the current proposal, WILL BE LANDLOCKED if the current proposal is approved, and will onl be accessible thru the 3.5 acres donated to Hospital-, 8.5 acres the Hospital wants to currently build upon, or our Birch Run homeowners association MAKING FUTURE, PIECEMEAL (SEGMENTED) DEVELOPMENT BY THE HOSPITAL A CERTAINTY if their current proposal is approved. FOR THIS REASON ALONE, THE HOSPITAL's CURRENT PROPOSAL SHOULD BE REJECTED and the HOSPITAL SHOULD BE MADE TO SUBMIT ITS ENTIRE PLAN FOR EXPANSION at one time, not piecemeal. It is our sincere hope that the City of Saratoga Springs do their due diligence and protect the property rights of area homeowners from 'urban sprawl' by questioning the developer (the Hospital), as to their true intent Including their future plans, and why they don't use the 3.5 acres donated to them to expand, which they already own & Which adjoins their current campus. We do not object to the City of Saratoga Springs re -zoning the Hospital's 3.5 acres property recently donated to them (55 Myrtle Street) to 'Institutional', which adjoins their current 17.98 acres of parking lots (35 Myrtle Street) and totals 21.48 acres for the Hospital to build their commercial office complex. We also do not object to the building of housing units on the 'Residential' 8.5 acres owned by DA Collins construction and which adjoins our Birch Run homeowners association. However, WE DO OBJECT TO RE -ZONING THE 'RESIDENTIAL' PROPERTY WHICH ADJOINS OUR BIRCH RUN HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION and petition you for relief by denying the Hospital's request. If the Hospital's planta build a 53 foot high, 88,500 sq.ft. commercial development with 300 parking spaces in our residential neighborhood is approved by the City of Saratoga Springs, when the Hospital has 21.24 acres of under-utilized property to build upon, we will have little choice but to appeal it to a Court for review, and make inquiries as to the propriety of the proposal & approval, and relationships of the parties involved.

My wife, Jaime and I live at 25 Saratoga Circle in the Birch Run Neighborhood, our home is approximately 20 to 25 ft from the Morgan Street property and arguably the closest residential property to the Hospital's proposed building and parking lot. We know you have received countless letters from our neighbors with concerns about noise, environmental impact, traffic etc., so I won't waste your time with revisiting these extremely relevant concerns, rather I would like to pose some questions for your and the other member's consideration. • As homeowners who purchased and invested in a neighborhood that is completely residential and bordered by residential properties, shouldn't I expect that our rights as tax -paying property owners should at least be equal to those of the Hospital? From comments I've heard from Hospital representatives and community leaders, it doesn't seem this way. • The Hospital has other options for their expansion and has publicly stated that if they don't build on the Morgan Street Property they will build in the alternate location — their concern is that it would be more costly. Shouldn't the cost to the pre --existing residential neighbors be at least as important, if not more so? As a residential real estate executive, with 30 years' experience, I know how this will negatively and permanently impact our property values. Shouldn't I expect our City Leadership to make this concern a priority? Because this zoning change will not impact you or the others personally, perhaps it is impossible for you or the others to fully understand the impact of this, on us.

Lynwood o'cain and I live at 1 Collins Terrace in Bir where I have resided for fourteen years. I am writing to go on record as opposing the zoning changes on the property located at Morgan and Myrtle Streets, Saratoga Springs. The property is currently zoned residential and it is definitely my opinion to Deep it residential. Prior to purchasing my home in Birch Run, I thoroughly checked the records on the land surrounding this development to make certain the zoning was residential and could not be used for commercial or institutional purposes. Now, fourteen years later, I find myself in the middle of a huge effort to try to keep the zoning residential, so as to preserve our extremely unique environment. I have invested a substantial amount of money in the purchase and renovation of my home. If zoned commercial or institutional, it would be devastating to the property value of everyone's home in Birch Run and would be a considerable financial loss to every property owner. Most of the property owners are pre -retirement or post-retirement and not in any position to lose much needed money on their investment. Birch Run is a very unique development with no through streets and is quiet, peaceful, safe, and environmentally friendly. The construction of commercial .. ......... I ............................. .........•. •... ... ... .......................................�.. ...................... ........................ �..................... or industrial buildings with related parking lots would have an unbelievably negative effect on the community, property values and quality of life of everyone and everything in this neighborhood, along with destroying the environment. I feel that the hospital should have, and could have, better utilized the property they already own and have developed. Even though healthcare is a primary concern of all residents of Saratoga Springs, it should never supersede everything everything else that is important, not just to the residents of Birch Run, but to all the residents of the city.....,their homes, financial security and freedom to enjoy all we have all worked our entire lives to achieve. At this time in my life, I never expected to be involved in anything this controversial dealing with the elected officials who campaigned and ran on platforms to support and protect their citizens. httnc•llm enrntnnn_Qnrinne Vnrtr 4/11/2019 Zimbra The hospital has other options with regards to land for development that would he a lot less disruptive to a whole community's quality of life, as it IV would in Birch Run. I think serious consideration should he given to other options that are available for the hospital's expansion plans. I, therefore, adamantly oppose the changing of the zoning of Birch Run from residential to commercial or institutional. I do respect the importance of the hospital to the city, but, the destruction that will occur to the environment and quality of life will be astounding. I will finish ray letter with one last thought...who amongst you would you would want this situation developing in your own backyard? Respectfully, C.

I love this city my late husband and I have dedicated thousands of volunteer hours to assist our city's events, business development, and maintain its renowned reputation. I realize ghat 'a difficult job it is to move forward, yet preserve our assets, but I am imploring you to conscientiously evaluate and end this hostile takeover of our neighborhood. I was vehemently opposed to any rezoning of the 8-1j2 acre parcel around Morgan and Myrtle Streets (from residential to institutional) in order to erect a professional office building and parking lot and I wrote to the City Counsel. I remain vehemently opposed to commercial use of that parcel. I have the utmost respect for Saratoga Hospital's advancement in improving its P 9 services and medical personnel and facilities, which is the reason my husband and I recently underwrote an Intensive Care a�tient room and .................. p , why I contribute annually. I am very disappointed with their lack of responsible, long-range development planning. Angelo Calbone and I have had recent cordial communication on the subject, about various options off Myrtle Street, (on the hill and at the DiCresce property), but in his last email he seems to have dug in his heels and rejected all of the suggestions I had previously made, (and I believed he was considering). Saratoga Hospital never hosted a meeting to obtain input from its neighbors, and g was initially very secretive about its plan. I first save a color -shaded neap in February, 2019, sent to residents by our HOA President, and Angelo Carbone h##nS-!!m_Sara#C3C1a-Cnrint'iC nrrtlhlnrir-fimc�cc�rti�7irl--R77C]f1R__+�--fir►-►r�rir.�lAfr.*i. V.-.,.�. 4/10/2019 Zimbra sent me the hospital's map on March 28, 2019, wherein the property in question has been subdivided into Zones F and G. Zone G is the office building, but Zone F plans remain unknown. To my knowledge, there is no master plan (to include Zones F and G) that has been submitted, yet I am under the understanding that segmentation is prohibited. The fact that there is empty medical office space in the buildings they own in the immediate vicinity of the hospital shows lack of long range planning, and their use of sprawling parking lots is irresponsible. The hospital has numerous other expansion possibilities including the above- mentioned, two viable sites closer to the hospital (than the Birch Run property) that they already own., Why would the city remove beautiful, green space (on the west side where there is very little left) from the tax rolls, in order to create more unattractive institutional sprawl? This land is suitable for revenue -generating residential development that could enhance the neighborhood, rather than detract from our property. of course, I would prefer that it remain a natural setting, as it is now, but I am realistic. I would love to see a park built, but I would be pleased to see luxury homes developed on this land. several responsible developers have expressed an interest in doing this, while preserving the beautiful green space, and awesome view. (This is the highest point on the west side of town.) To think of a huge building and an immense blacktopped parking lot there makes me feel that I ani not in Saratoga I must be in a shanty town where no one has any taste or cares about ugly sprawl. Those of us who live in Birch Run have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars enhancing our homes and landscaping ,and improvements are ongoing as retirees upgrade or sell their homes, and young people move in and gut their homes to modernize. We are greatly. .. concerned about our property values and way of life in .... ...... .. ........ ........ this serene commu................ I .......... I ...... .. .... .. I . ..... nity. Real estate experts have confirmed that our home values will decline sharply. We are concerned. about pollutants (lights, traffic, noise, litter, visual impact, etc.), and we are concerned for our safety. As it is now, many of the hospital employees walk to our development to smoke, and some of nay neighbors carry bags, as they walk, to pick up cigarette butts. we have many widows with dogs who walk them at night (myself included). At a meeting of our neighbors, they have expressed fear at having a commercial building in our backyard. our community is conscientiously green, with extensive green space at the "parade grounds" and among our buildings. That is why we kftr -n-Urn enratnri-n-nr%rinne Vr%rir nin 4110/2019 Zimbra moved here. The traffic on Seward St. and Morgan s already a disaster waiting to happen, creating commercial traffic/parking would be totally irresponsible. Lastly, a note : shock and disgust was expressed at our meeting, at the unorthodox way (to put it kindly) in which this property was entered onto the comprehensive plan map, three or four years ago. I respectfully request that this email be entered into the record. I sincerely thank you for your attention to this matter, knowing that your actions as a conscientious, volunteer planning group have shown sincerity in doing what is best for Saratoga Springs and its neighborhoods and citizens.

I'm sure you are aware of the disappointment of the surrounding neighborhoods, including but not exclusively Morgan Street, Myrtle Street, Seward Street and the residential communities of Birch Run Phase I & II, to the reclassification in the Comprehensive Plan from residential to institutional. Our neighborhoods have been against this change from the beginning and feel were not given the appropriate notification or chance for discussion as this change was made in the final stages of the final meeting. At this time, we are requesting you keep Mispropertyzoned residential a s you work on and adapt the Unified Development ordinance(UDO) by updating the Zoning map to correspond with the Comprehensive Plan changes (2014). Rezoning of this property will have many adverse effects on the neighborhoods involved. Traffic will greatly increase on streets involved that were never built to handle it, creating dangerous situations. Much concern also with drainage issues not only to Birch Run Community but also the Golf and Polo Club. Property values will decrease, and the over all residential neighborhood feel will be impacted.

This acreage is one of the last truly scenic, peaceful parcels of land in Saratoga Springs. It has historical value (site of the Gideon Putnam Farm) and has panoramic views of the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. There are beautiful 100 year old oak trees and lots of wildlife including deer, fox, hawks and even coyotes. This is zoned for single family homes for a good reason. It's surrounded by homes and town homes occupied by scores of tax paying residents. Rezoning this beautiful piece of land frorn URI to OMB -2 would: * Dramatically reduce privacy for our families. * Increase traffic congestion in an already congested area. ® Fail. to safeguard the heritage of the City of Saratoga Springs (site of the Gideon Putnam Farm) Fail to conserve the taxable value of our land and properties. Please take time to walk this piece of property and place yourself in our shoes. If you allow this to be rezoned institutional, the current landscape will become a large parcel of blacktop for 240+ cars with tali building(s) and street lights illuminating neighboring backyards. would you like this in your backyard? By keeping it zoned single family homes, this would considerably increase the tax base for Saratoga Springs. If you rezone the property, the city doesn't get anything out of this. To the contrary the city loses the real estate tax revenue that single family homes would provide. Any institutional development would kill the value of our homes. The roads in this area are already used as a cut through to Church St. They are narrow and winding with people often running stop signs and speeding. If you add an office building in our family neighborhood, it will be a constant parade of cars making a bad situation intolerable. If this is being rezoned to accommodate the hospital expansion, can't they do so right on their existing campus? Can't the hospital properties be raised to five stories? They have the land and resources. Why ruin our neighborhood and this land because of their poor planning of the expanse of real estate they already own. They can make it work on their own campus. They have said so publicly. This and is very valuable if it remains single family zoning. A number of estate size homes would enhance the property, not ruin it like an institutional bui ld ing(s) would. Please preserve this land for what is was zoned for, URI, single family homes. we all bought our homes knowing we would be protected by the zoning that was designated, URI. For most of us, our homes are our single biggest investment. Rezoning would fail to protect our investment and fail the taxpayers of Saratoga Springs. Please vote against the rezoning of this property. It is the right thing to do. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Tim and Tracy Riley 1 Saratoga Circle Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 Regarding the Unified Development Ordinance Weare residents of 25 Saratoga Circle in Birch Run. We oppose any zoning change in the vacant land between Birch Run and Morgan Street in Parcel # 1 in particular. The adjacent land is residential with no building over two stories. Morgan Street is very narrow — it is difficult for two way traffic in the winter because of snow and is not structured for increased traffic. Our neighborhood would be very adversely affected. Our property values would decrease. Where we see green and trees now we would see a commercial multistoried building and parking lot lights. What assurance do we have that a zoning change would result in adequate sewage and water runoff systems? Saratoga Hospital plans indicate they will widen Morgan Street. How? The surrounding land is privately owned. It seems that the sole reason for a zoning change in our neighborhood would be so Saratoga Hospital can proceed with plans for their building. When they submitted plans for this project preciously to the planning board, our neighborhood associations and individuals strongly opposed this project. That has not changed. Judy and Gene Sirianni 4/10/2019 Zimbra jennifer.merriman@saratoga-springs.org Rezoning roposal at Myrtle and Morgan Streets I live on Seward Street with my wife and two young sons, and I am writing to strongly oppose any rezoning of the residential neighborhood surrounding Saratoga Hospital. My primary concerns are with traffic, property values, and the sufficiency of the public utilities that serve the homes in our neighborhood. We are already forced to put up with very challenging traffic at certain times of day here. Turning onto Church Street from, Seward Street can be very difficult with the line of cars that often stack back from the light at Van Dam toward the hospital. Many people also use Seward St. to bypass Church St. during the morning and evening rush hours, turning Seward into a bit of a raceway. We see cars blow through the stop signs at Seward and Pearl Streets and Seward and Morgan Streets on a daily basis. Clearly, more commercial development on Morgan Street will exacerbate these problems, and add to the stress when one of our kids needs to retrieve a from ball near the road, or wants to join us on a bike ride from our house. I strongly urge you to vote against this irreversible action that would negatively impact our quality of life and that of hundreds of other long-time Saratoga Springs residents.

I -t is my understanding that this matter has been ref erred to your respective Boards for an advisory opinion on the proposed re -zoning application. I have been a resident of Birch .RUn since 201.3 and I have major concerns regarding the negative environmental impact associated. with the re -zoning application. It is rely opinion, based upon the :materials provided to the public, that granting of this application would substantially increase traffic congestion during school and Nvork hours. Adding offices in this area will add business traffic at th.e same time as the hospital and the school district, thus causing increased congestion of an alread- highly travelled area. Also, the roadway in that area is a 90' curve and. way too narrow to accommodate the increased number of vehicles anticipated during these hours. while widening of the street has been proposed as a solution, this also would require traffic lights and sidewalks to allow- people ingress and egress. While I ani not an engineer, I ane certain all of this. raises many additional issues for the public Works and Safety Departments of the City. The re -zoning will also negatively impact the residential nature of the neighborhood by increasing light pollution, water run-off and increase of the sewer capacities in the area. As it will substantially change the character of the neighborhood from residential, it is my opinion that it will also have a negative impact of the residential property values in that area. If it has not been done already, perhaps a referral to the State for a SE QRA review would be in order to obtain a further opinion of the potential negative environmental impact associated with this re -- zoning application.. l would like to thank all of You if or your time and consideration o f my concerns and m y opposition.. `gv truly yours, r Tw.

VA PA• 4/10/2019 Zimbra .61 Zimbra jennifer-merriman@saratoga-springs.org Opposition to Rezoning of parcel #1 (Morgan Street) We are residents of Birch Run and are opposed to the zoning change for parcel #1 of the March 2019 UDS. This is a residential neighborhood and should remain that way regardless of who the potential new owners would be,, We urge you to vote against this zoning change for several reasons: 1) Before we purchased our property in 2016, we reviewed the zoning around our property to make sure that there wouldn't be any surprises down the road (something we learned about from our last property). Everything was listed as residential. Now we are being told that the Comprehensive Plan of 2015 would allow this property to be zoned `Institutional". The City has been, and is still, providing inaccurate data as to the status of this property. While I realize the zoning hasn't officially changed, there should at a minimum be an indicator on the City zoning map that shows the area is up for change. In my opinion the city would be opening itself to legal action. 2) There is significant local opposition to the zoning change which was demonstrated by the,,. n.0 m ber of people.. that. showed -up-to-the last City Council Meeting. 3) I live at the bottom of the hill. Where is all of the water going to go from the impermeable space caused by the large buildings and parking lots? In the end it is going to end up behind my house. 4) The traffic around our neighborhood is sure to increase. Morgan,, Seward and Myrtle Streets are all already narrow. On Morgan, for example, there is barely enough room for two cars to pass by each other, especially on the bend. s) At the recent City Council meeting on this subject, Todd Shimkus', who was part of the Comprehensive Committee mentioned that out of all of the parcels they voted on, that this was the only unanimous vote. When httnc•Ilm cnratrnna_cnrinryc V^A- 4 rh 4/10/2019 Zimbra it came to city residents speaking at the meeting, this was the only parcel of land that was discussed and had any opposition. That alone should give someone pause. To be clear, the only unanimous vote was on the most controversial issue. Now could this have been a fair and unbiased process? 6) Because there was no opposition to the other parcels that are part of the rezoning map, why not carve out the parcel on Morgan Street, directly adjacent to Birch Run, from the process, The Morgan Street parcel deserves its own focused discussions and public comments. 7) Some people are trying to make this about the Hospital. It is not. This is about changing the character of a neighborhood from Residential to Institutional, Do you want the land next to your house rezoned to Institutional? I'm guessing not. So why do it to us?

This area contains varied wildlife, insects and 100 year old trees. There should be a new state environmental assessment of this property which would include the impact on the natural state when the property is stripped to its rock base, before a decision is made regarding CONSTRUCTION IMPACT ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES: They are planning on a 75,000 sq' to 88,000 sq' building with a basement that will require at least an 8' to 10' ceilings to place mechanicals and storage. This building is being built on rock and bedrock which will require a massive amount of blasting for a long period of time. This blasting will require road closings and detours during prime time in the day. It will also create a massive amount of dirt and dust throughout the neighborhood. This undertaking will require weeks if not months of blasting. For all of this that the neighbors endure they will be left with something they never wanted. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This change will allow the Hospital to destroy the value of people's most valuable asset. The Hospitals representative states that from their experience with expansion along Myrtle Street that they conclude that we should not expect any diminution of value to the property owners in the immediate vicinity of the project site. With all of the savings ($750,000 per y P g g g ear would the Hospital be willing to et together with the owners and an independent real estate mediator and compensate them if the mediator finds that the project has an adverse effect upon the value of their properties. Other areas of major concern, the lighting of the building and parking lots that will be on all night,The removal of large trees to accommodate the building and parking lot.Storm water which will become a major issue that will supposedly be handled by bio retention basins, storm water planters, pocket ponds and a detention pond. Khat is going to happen with all of the open water which will bring a large mosquito problem to the area?

Although all of the neighbors requested to separate this piece of land from the rest of the parcels included in the Comprehensive Plan for a more detailed review, the City council has now referred it to the Planning Board with the intention of re -zoning as soon as possible. There are many aspects which will be detrimental to the area, such as lighting, traffic, widening of streets and flooding, as well as devaluation of hour home value. I would specifically like to address the isue of flood risk. My house is on Woodland Court. A few years ago, when the hospital expanded their ER facility, a city drain was built between my property and the hospital property, which resulted in my yard flooded. We built a french drain around the house, to drain into a dry well, but was told by the city that it would not solve the problem by going into a dry well. I was told by Public Works that it had to be connected into the City drain because "this area has a very high water table and would end up backing up into the house", so it was connected into the City drain. The proposed construction of a massive building on Morgan St, with a very sophisticated drainage management system will be very efficient for the building, but it will raise the water table in the areas around it, with a very high risk of flooding homes on Woodland Ct. This is just one of the many negative aspects that will result if the area is rezoned. All of us neighbors are concerned about all the issues mentioned above. To keep my letter short, I will not expand on the other issues above, which I also feel will be very negative for the area. We hope the planning board will do a new detailed study of all these issues -a study that is truly independent of any analysis presented by hospital contractors- and without the ........... ... pressure you will gef from some city council members and hospital advocates.. I appreciate your attention to my letter, and I hope you look into these issues carefully. Again, thank you Alice Smith httns-//m.saratoaa-sorinas.oralhlorintmessaae?id=$2124&tz=America/New York 111 4/9/2019 Zimbra on . -land the hospital owns that is now used for parking. Neither of those alternatives would have the negative effects of the currently proposed change. I have been a resident of Saratoga Springs for nearly 60 years, and was Mayor of the city during the 1970s, when economic conditions began to improve. The course of improvement has been marked by collaboration between business, government and the community. We followed this policy in the redevelopment of downtown, both Broadway and the Henry Street - Putnam Street area. We provided the infrastructure first, then the development followed among willing sellers and buyers. This proposed expansion is a predatory move by the City and the hospital that will steal economic value from dozens of taxpayers who invested in their homes in good faith, and in conformance and awareness of the zoning ordinance. Now, a neighbor is lobbying the city in order to impose added traffic and enterprise. Having killed our property values, the remaining residents will be sitting ducks for continued predation by the hospital, which in the future will continue to acquire the properties at lesser value to accommodate even more expanded facilities. We would be better off if the city initiated an eminent domain proceeding --at least we would be able to receive "fair market value" rather than just suffer having our values stolen for no compensation. The hospital and the city have ready-made alternatives along church Street and/or by building in the existing parking lot.

I am very concerned about the impact of this non-residential construction on my quality of life here in Saratoga. I bought my house in 2003, before the expansion of offices directly across from my home. While I greatly appreciate that the entrance to those offices is directly across form the hospital and that there is a visual barrier between me and the buildings,, the lighting in the parking lots has bathed the front of my home in light day and night. I mention this because the houses on Morgan Street will be even more affected by the light pollution than I. This is one way that their quality of life and property values will be affected by this building. 0 It is my understanding that Myrtle Street will be widened to accommodate the extra traffic. I am concerned that the buffer that now exists between my property and the complex across the street will be destroyed. I will than have more light pollution and more noise coming from that area. Other issues of concern include; the negative impact of traffic, noise, water runoff, and strain on the sewer system capacity. Neighbors on Seward Street have had to deal with the impact of water runoff from Park Place apartments which have flooded their yards and damaged homes. I am concerned about the runoff from a large building and parking areas proposed by this hospital expansion. We have been told that adding this building in our residential neighborhood will not affect property values. I am very surprised by this. I would think that being sandwiched between two large institutional buildings,, with the increased traffic, lig ht issues, and water runoff, will deter prospective Wyers. Additio . n . a ily if.. I were to sell my home 1 would I no . t ... be able .... t . o ... sell .... i .. t for enough to buy another place in town. I have been priced out of the market and would have to leave the city. I am often struck by how neighborhoods are treated in this city. It seems that money is the driving force. Other parts of the city have had similar issues with the desire of developers and city officials to put inappropriate buildings among established neighborhoods. I understand the wish for the hospital to expand and support it. But I believe that there are alternative places for this expansion. Each time that it has been suggested to use the existing area across from the hospital in a more efficient way, there have been "reasons" why this is not feasible. My concern is that this has been rejected because expansion there is limited and that the lot on Myrtle and Morgan would allow further expansion beyond the proposed single large building. Does the hospital plan to make this area look like Albany Med with blocks of institutional buildings? httnQ-Ilm--q;;rntnn.q---qnrinn,q-nmlhlnrintmpqq,qnP?ifi=891f)?gt7=Amprir-PINIPw Ynrk- 1/17 41912919 Zimbra It is nay hope that you will consider these concerns and that you will make a considered decision. Thank you, Penny Lockwood (Mary) httr)s:/Im.saratoga-st)dnas.ora/hlprintmessaae?id=82102&tz=America/New York 212 Mr. Mark Torpey via e-mail to Jennifer.merriman@saratoga-springs.org Chairman Saratoga Springs Planning Board City ball — 474 Broadway Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 Dear Mark, We are writing to you as long time residence of Saratoga Spring, to express our opposition to the re -zoning of the vacant land adjacent to Birch Run and Morgan street, identified as parcel #1 in the unified development ordnance (UDO) zoning map, from residential to institutional. The opposition to the re -zoning of this parcel is driven by a wide range of environmental concerns that would arise from any non-residential development that may occur subsequent to the re -zoning. These include, but are not limited to; • Traffic congestion - the re -zoning of this parcel from residential to institutional has the potential to substantially increase vehicle traffic through all of the surrounding neighborhood streets, with a-materialnegative impact on Seward, Morgan, and Myrtle streets and Church street, an already heavily traveled thoroughfare. • Safety —the increased traffic would pose a safety issue. 0 Li ht & noise pollution - depending on how the property would be developed if re- zoned from residential to institutional there is a high probability the amount of light and noise generated would negatively impact the environment of the surrounding properties. Water runoff - area currently provides natural drainage for water, depending how property is developed subsequent to the proposed re -zoning there is risk that the water drainage and ground water table will be altered in such a way as to negative impact the surrounding neighborhoods. Propert_ va lues —the environmental impact referenced above, in addition to the negative impact on the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods daily lives, would also impact property values in a materially negative manor. Lisa and I appreciate you and your colleagues on the planning board taking our concerns and expressed opposition to the .proposed zoning change into. consideration during the planning board's deliberation and look forward to further discussion at the upcoming public meetings.

I purchased nay Town dome at 0...5 og cl Bic u o . The lot in discussion is a mere 20 feet from any property. I have invested significantly in the re -model to 'gage comfortably in place". The rezoning of Parcel #1 will significantly decrease the value of my home my biggest personal investment as well as ray enjoyment of this beautiful neighborhood. These are my concerns: There will be a negative environmental impact associated with this re-zoning(Removal of Trees, meadow, wildlife, grater run-off, serer capacity). I will be adversely affected by incoming traffic congestion near and around this neighborhood, light pollution from the parking lot, the sound of cars arriving, closing door - lock sounds, car alarms going off by mistake and the start of cars leaving during days and nights of the week. I am very concerned about lengthy construction noise since this area is well known for bedrock. There will be blasting 20 feet from my back yard! Due to the proximity of the project planned for this lot, there will be an increase of pedestrian walking traffic in our private neighborhood from workers in the building where it is to be located. I am concerned about the road use at the end of Collins Terrace South. The Firetrucks and emergency vehicles will demand two exits from this project and will logically use this road to exit. I bought my home when the property in Lot #1 was zoned residential. It is still residential and needs to remain such to preserve the character of this neighborhood. Zoning laws are put in place to protect citizens. I hope you will consider my concerns as I am in direct proximity to this land. I am attaching the UDO's zoning map to support my concerns. Thank you for your time and consideration. httt)s://m.saratoga-springs.orgfh/printmessage?id=82084&tz=Ameriea/New York 112 4/9/2019 Sincerely, Amy C.

I urge you and your colleagues on the Planning Board to provide a positive recommendation --with any changes or exceptions --on the proposed updated zoning wrap for the City of Saratoga Springs. As you know, a positive Planning Board recommendation is an important next step in advancing Saratoga Hospital's plans to develop medical offices on Morgan Street. The hospital believes these plans are essential to the future of healthcare in Saratoga County --and i agree. l trust Saratoga Hospital and its medical team to do what's Joest for the health of our region. Now, and for the future. The hospital has been caring for our community from its Church Street location for more than a century ---long before surrounding homes existed. As this community has grown, the hospital must also grove to meet those needs in an ever -more complicated healthcare landscape. And the hospital has always been a good neighbor, working hard to address the concerns of nearby residents. Yet a small group of people in the mixed-use neighborhood is trying to block a project that will benefit the enure community. That's just not right. The zoning map that's up for review was developed as part of a lengthy six-year process that included multiple opportunities for community input. Most recently, the Saratoga County Planning Board reviewed the updated map and provided a positive opinion to the City Council. Now, it's your turn. Please move this much-needed healthcare project forward by recommending that the updated zoning map be approved exactly as is. Thankyou.

As you know, a positive planning Board recommendation is an important next step in advancing Saratoga Hospital's plans to develop medical offices on Morgan Street. The hospital believes these plans are essential to the future of healthcare in Saratoga county and I agree.. I trust Saratoga Hospital and its medical team to do what's best for the health of our region. Now, and for the future. The hospital has been caring for our community from its Church Street location for more than a century—long before surrounding homes existed. As this community has grown, the hospital must also grow to meet those needs in an ever -more complicated healthcare landscape. And the hospital has always been a good neighbor, working hard to address the concerns of nearby residents. Yet a small group of people in the mixed-use neighborhood is trying to black a project that will benefit the entire community. That's just not right. The zoning map that's up for review was developed as part of a lengthy six-year process that included multiple opportunities for community input. Most recently, the Saratoga County https://m.saratoga-spdngs.org/h/printmessage?id =83623&'tz=America/New York 112 4/29/2019 Zimbra Planning Board reviewed the updated neap and provided a positive opinion to the City.

Please also see the enclosed letter from the Birch Run Homeowners Associations. The current proposal involves changing Parcel #I from a medium density residential zone (UR -1), where the principal permitted structures are single family residences, to a commercial zoning district (CSM -B2), where the intent is to accommodate "business, medical and professional office uses as well as health related institutional facilities". Saratoga Springs Zoning Ordinance Chapter 2 (Tables 1 and 2). The intensity of the use of the land will increase with the change from a medium density residential zone to a high impact commercial use. The access to Parcel #1 is primarily from Route 9N (Church Street). Given the importance of Route 9N as a main travel corridor through Saratoga County, and the proximity of Parcel #I to the Town of Greenfield, the current proposal should be removed from consideration so that it can be more carefully evaluated by all parties involved. The County Planning Board, the City Planning Board and the City Council need to take a closer, more thoughtful look at the proposal before changing the zoning of a particular area of land for the benefit of a single entity in the City. The City's Comprehensive Plan expresses the City's vision for the "intensity of uses" to become "less as one travels away from the Core" of the City. Comprehensive Plan p. 55. The current proposal to change Parcel #1 does not make the intensity of use less. To the contrary, the proposed area to be rezoned would become a more intense use of land. Moreover, Parcel #1 is sandwiched between a low -intensity, residential neighborhood on the edge of the City, and another residential, single family residential neighborhood to the south of the parcel. Therefore, it does not make sense from a planning perspective to turn this area into an island of more intense land usage. Additionally, the proposed change to Parcel #1 is not in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use Map set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan indicates that the area where Parcel #I is located is intended to become an Institutional land use. The Institutional zoning districts are intended to "accommodate uses that supplement and complement the operation of education -oriented faci I ities", "horse track operations", "local government" functions, and "passive and active recreation". zoning ordinance Chapter 2 (Tables l and 2). The Institutional zoning district is not intended for medical office buildings (OM -B2) as is being proposed for Parcel fl. Therefore, the current proposal should be rejected. Finally, the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map showed that additional areas were to be rezoned to an Institutional Land Use. Those areas included other Iands owned by Saratoga Hospital as well as lands owned by the Saratoga Golf and Polo Club. There is no rational explanation for why only Parcel # 1, the site of Saratoga Hospital's intended medical office building, is being rezoned to oM-132. For the reasons stated above, we respectfully request that you recommend to the City Council that Parcel #I be removed from the package of changes currently under consideration so that this particular proposal can be more thoroughly evaluated. 4/24/2019 Zimbra Zimbra jr'er.errs @r - r .rg ----------- �1--,---�--------.",-�.-,-----I ------ Morgan Street - - ----------------- ------------------- ------ --------------- - - -------------- - -------------- - ------ --------- ------ - --- - ------- --------------- From : Dave Evans <dave.evans@huntrealestate.com> Tue, Apr 23, 2019 07:45 PM Subject: Morgan Street 1 attachment To : bbirge@saratoga-springs.org Cc : Jaime McCarthy <jaime.evans@huntrealestate.com>, Meg Kelly <Meg.

I rely upon this hospital. ! urge you and your colleagues on the Planning. Board to provide a positive ..recommendation —without any changes or exceptions—on the proposed updated zoning map for the City of Saratoga Springs. As you know, a positive Planning Board recommendation is an important next step in advancing Saratoga Hospital's plans to develop medical offices on Morgan Street. The hospital believes these plans are essential to the future of healthcare in Saratoga County --and I agree. I trust Saratoga Hospital and its medical team to do what's best for the health of our region. Now, and for the future. The hospital has been caring for our community from its Church street location for more than a century ---long before surrounding homes existed. As this community has grown, the hospital must also grow to meet those needs in an ever --more complicated healthcare landscape. And the hospital has always been a goad neighbor, https:llm.saratoga-spdngs.org/h/printmessage?id=84150&tz=America/New York 1/2 5/6/2019 Zimbra working hard to address the concerns of nearby residents. Yet a small group of people in the mixed-use neighborhood is trying to block a project that will benefit the entire community. That's just not right.

Most recently, the Saratoga County Planning Board reviewed the updated map and provided a positive opinion to the City Council. Now, it's your turn.

Thank you, Karen Theroux https://m.saratoga-springs.org/h/printmessage?id=8415o&tz= America/New York 212 Saratoga Springs Planning Board Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 40 Seward St. Saratoga Springs, fVew York 12866 7 I am writing to document my serious concerns about the efforts being made to rezone the neighborhood I live in, the Morgan Street area in Saratoga Springs, from residential to essentially commercial. My name is Ina Harney. I have lived in my home for 35 years. I have lived in the city of Saratoga since I was a small child in the mid 50's. So that you don't think I have a background in the development of Saratoga, my father was Nat Oppenheim who spent his working career as the Saratoga County Promotion Director until his death in 1984. 1 grew up promoting Saratoga Springs and Saratoga County. It hurts nay heart to speak badly about the growth in Saratoga. This area has always been a residential neighborhood that is bordered on the west by Saratoga Hospital. The homes are modest, and most are not even 2000 sq ft. Many are raised ranches with a foot print of barely Soo sq ft. The building the hospital proposes to build in our neighborhood is 75,000 sq ft with an option of more space. This building alone is larger than 35 of the homes in total. Rather large and invasive. They plan on a parking lot for 400 cars. I can not even envision a 400 -car lot until I pass the Honda dealership on the way out of town. There are already massive parking lots surrounding the hospital. The hospital says they pian on moving 100 doctors to this building. with 100 doctors and minimally 2 staff per doctor, that is 300 cars per day. They then said doctors only see two patients an hour. Not true, they schedule every 15 minutes. That is 4 per hour, or 400 more cars in and out each hour looking for parking. With only 100 spots left, where do they park? On our streets? In front of our homes? All these cars lead to even bigger traffic issues than now exist. I have problems getting out of my driveway now as cars short cut town by using Seward Street. They speed up the hill and can barely stop when they see a car pulling in or out of a driveway. Morgan street is a very narrow street that two cars can barely pass on with another blind rise. Adding 400 or more cars a day ..................................................................................................................... ..................... ......................... is an accident waiting to happen. The traffic would impact for many blocks, including the elementary school two blocks away. There was a water problem before the new apartments were built and it has becoming a bigger problem as there is no ground for water to drain into and when it rains water flows into the yards and driveways on the East Side of Seward Street. The city has already had to create two drains at the foot of Morgan Street for the first time in history. My driveway has had to be rebuilt to prevent the water from coming into my house. The lights put up for the apartments and the hospital have created a huge light pollution problem. It looks like day light at night. Broadway is not as well lit. There is no need to build this building in our neighborhood. The hospital claims the doctors need to get to the hospital in an emergency. well, they already have competent doctors in the hospital. It is not vital to get there in a hurry. Matter of fact, I doubt any doctor, except an obstetrician, has ever gone to the hospital from their office when called. And they are only in their offices 4 days a week for about 8 hours. what about the other hours of the day and the weekends? Do we not have emergencies? No, there are always doctors at the hospital. No need for instant appearances. If they are so concerned about being close to the hospital at a moment's notice, they should buy our homes. There are three places they can build in Saratoga Springs with little or no negative impacts on any residential neighborhood. 1. The area across the street from the emergency rooms. It is a parking lot, actually 3 parking lots. Build a building and parking garage. I know it doesn't get away from the traffic issue, but it will not add another parking lot to our neighborhood. The only people who would see the building would be the hospital. It would be even closer. 2. Build on the land adjacent to the hospital buildings at exit 1.5. a. There is open land for a huge building and parking lot close to their two existing medical buildings should a problem occur. b. There is clear and easy traffic access. c. There is bus service. d. They already have moved doctors into these buildings. 3. The soon to be vacant office building on Broadway when AYCO moves to Latham. a. The building exists and since they want offices, only some modifications will be needed. b. A big parking lot exists that is currently only used by AYOD. c. The streets are wider and can accept the anticipated traffic. d. There is bus service at the door. e. There are many restaurants nearby. As you see, there are more negatives about rezoning the Morgan Street area to allow the .......................................................................................................................................................... hospital to build on Morgan Street. Having this big intrusive addition to our neighborhood would greatly reduce the property value of our homes. who would intentionally move into a neighborhood with these issues? it would completely destroy any value in the historic $2,000,000 Markey Estate. They would have a 400 -car parking lot in their front yard. Please do not allow the rezoning of our residential neighborhood. It mould completely destroy the area I live in. Sincere) Ina 0.

C have a question, does the hospital have in its budget or is it assumed that the City will pay for the following public infrastructure improvements? 1. Sidewalks on Myrtle Street. There are none now on either side, if the doctors and others are to walk to the hospital are they to walk in the roadway. 2. Myrtle Street pavement and drainage needs to be upgraded to handle the additional traffic. 3. when the hospital built the doctor's offices and Dialysis Center buildings in the area west of Myrtle Street the hospital agreed to leave "wild" growth as a buffer to block view of the backs of the buildings. A hedge or wall should be installed if this land is to be cleared for road widening or sidewalk construction. 4. Morgan Street also needs to be straightened, widened and have storm drainage improvements ................... . and move utility poles back from the edge of the pavement. It also needs sidewalks. Probably additional rights of way must be acquired to accomplish the improvements. 5. Seward Street will need similar improvements of pavement, drainage, sidewalks which will require additional rights of way, particularly in the area of limited sight distance. 6. The Seward Street/Church Street intersection will most likely require a traffic signal because of the increased traffic. 7. Similar improvements may be required for Clement Avenue.

I live in Saratoga Springs, NY., I am a healthcare consultant with Mind Genomics Advisors and have worked in healthcare since 1962. I urge you and your colleagues on the Planning Board to provide a positive recommendation —without any changes or exceptions—on the proposed updated zoning map for the City of Saratoga Springs As you know, a positive Planning Board recommendation is an important next step in advancing Saratoga Hospital's plans to develop medical offices on Morgan street. The hospital believes these plans are essential to the future of healthcare in Saratoga county and I agree. I trust Saratoga Hospital and its medical team to do what's best for the health of our region. Now, and for the future. The hospital has been caring for our community from its Church Street location for more than a century—long before surrounding homes existed. As this community has grown, the hospital must also grow to meet those needs in an ever -more complicated healthcare landscape. And the hospital has always been a good neighbor, working hard to address the concerns of nearby residents. Yet a small group of people in the mixed-use neighborhood is trying to block a project that will benefit the entire community. That's just not right. The zoning map that's up for review was developed as part of a lengthy six-year process that Included multiple opportunities for community input. Most recently, the Saratoga county . https://m.saratoga-spdngs.org/h/printmessage?id=83816&tz=America/Nevis fork 1/2 5/2/2919 Zimbra Planning Board reviewed the updated neap and provided a positive opinion to the city Council. Now,, it's your turn. Please move this much-needed healthcare project forward by recommending that the updated zoning reap be approved exactly as is. Thank you. https://m.saratoga-springs.org/h/printmessage?id=83816&tz=America/New York 2/2 5/2/2019 Zimbra 0,P! :;,w; i i i From: 'Alice Smith" <asmith mex@g mail, cora > To: "Bradley Birge" <bbirge@saratoga-springs.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 1, 2019 8:45:10 PM Subject: Rezoning Mr Birge My name is Alice smith and I am a resident of Saratoga springs. My home is located in the area near Morgan street where the hospital wants to build an office building. There is much controversy regarding the way in which this parcel was introduced and passed as part of the 2015 comprehensive Plan. Despite all statements from the hospital, it is well established that there was never any communication with neighbors. we are aware that there was a legal time frame to present opposition, but we were denied this opportunity due to this lack of information from the hospital and city officials. We are only requesting that this parcel be separated from the rest of the other parcels in the Comprehensive Plan so that it can be analyzed with detail for every aspect that will affect the surrounding area. At the last city council meeting, it was decided to go forward simply because it was part of the comprehensive Plan. There are many residents in this area who feel our rights as property owners are not being respected, and we feel city officials have totally disregarded our concerns in the interest of the hospital. Again, vire respectfully request a revision of the proposed zoning on this parcel and a careful analysis of the impact it would have on the whole area. . We trust that you will be objective and take some time to look at it carefully. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Since you and I both served on that committee, you know that this committee was bitterly divided with many 7-6 votes on literally dozens - if not hundreds - of proposed amendments to the pian. The full text of my comments are at minute 23:32 of the March 12, tot g webcast -- http://saratogaspringsny.swagit.com/p.lav/0314201 9-534. There was a time when the committee could not even agree on a date and time to meet. The committee was so divided that it actually never completed its work handing this responsibility off after 11/2 years of debate to the city Council with 53 amendments still to be decided. `het among this chaos and conflict, there were a few times when an amendment was unanimously approved. on6 of those amendments was to change the zoning of a parcel on Myrtle Street and an adjacent pard on Dorgan Street to office Medical Business. This amendment was proposed by Devin Ro'nayne, Vice President for Facilities and operations at The Saratoga Hospital, who noted that the Myrtle street parcel was immediately adjacent to the Saratoga Hospital PUD. Adding these two parcels for medical office use would offer a much needed opportunity for the continuation of the medical services offered by the hospital. Mr. Ronayne's brief. statement to the Committee on the need for this change was compelling. Indeed, neither the committee's consultant nor the city's Planning Department expressed any reservation over the proposed change. Indeed, no one on the committee opposed the change, and I can't recall a single word of hesitation on the matter. A motion was made to approve the amendment and it was unanirnousl a roved. This request was not controversial because it did not change the land -use in the "greenbelt," a subject that was much debated by the Committee. Rather, this request simply amended the plan map on parcels surrounded on three sides by development with one of those sides being property already zoned for medical use. It seemed prudent given this context and the unanimous vete stood out to me because it was one of the few times where I felt like logic not politics nor NIMBY ruled the day. cere , r' � od L.

As a new home owner in the Birch Run Neighborhood, my home is in direct proximity to the proposed zoning changes being considered by the City Council. when I purchased my home in June 2018, the zoning was residential. k I strongly urge the Planning Board to request a new Environmental Impact Statement under the State Environmental Quality Review Act -SEQRQ - before any further approvals are granted. * I make the request to have a Traffic Engineer to rebut the traffic study from 3 years ago. I snake the request to have full disclosure on the Pedestrian safety from increased traffic on very narrow residential roads - Seward, Morgan and Myrtle - surrounding the proposed office Building.

The Core Residential Neighborhood -1 , --2a and -3 designations provide a transition from the Downtown Core and Complementary Core to the predominantly residential neighborhood areas and represent the historic residential village. These areas are primarily residential in use, with single and two-family homes allowed in all three CRN designations, while multi -family uses are allowed only in the CRN -2 and CRN -3 areas. The Core neighborhoods reflect Saratoga's quintessential residential character and charm through unique architecture, historic elements= front porches, sidewalks, and tree -lined streets. The proposal to zone this area as T-4 would require an minimum 2 -story structure and allow for up to a 4 - story structure. This is not in accordance with the adopted comprehensive plan.

I would like to voice my opposition to the re -zoning of this property for the following reasons: ENVIRONMENTAL: This is the last green space area of any size Left on the west side of Saratoga. This area contains varied wildlife, insects and 100 year old trees. There should be a -new state environmental assessment of this property which would include the impact on the natural state when the property is stripped to its rock base, before a decision is made regarding it. CONSTRUCTION IMPACT ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES: -They are planning on a 75,000 sq' to 88,000 sq' building with a basement that will require at least an 8' to 10' ceilings to place mechanicals and storage. This building is being built on rock and bedrock which will require a massive amount of blasting for a long period of time. This blasting will require road closings and detours during prime time in the day. It will also create a massive amount of dirt and dust throughout the neighborhood. This undertaking will require weeks if not months of blasting. For all of this that the neighbors endure they will be left with something they never wanted. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This change will allow the Hospital to destroy the value of people's most valuable asset, The Hospitals representative states that from their experience with expansion along Myrtle Street that they conclude that we should not expect any diminution of value to the property owners in the https:Hm.saratoga-springs.org/hlprintmessage?id=84917&tz=America/New York 10 5/16/2019 Zimhra immediate vicinity of the project site. With all of the savings ($750,000 per year) would the Hospital be willing to get together with the owners and an independent real estate mediator and compensate thea if the mediator finds that the project has an adverse effect upon the value of their properties. Other areas of major concern, the lighting of the building and parking lots that will be on all night.The removal of large trees to accommodate the building and parking lot.Storm water which will become a major issue that will supposedly be handled by bio retention basins, storm water planters, pocket ponds and a detention pond. What is going to happen with all of the open water which will bring a large mosquito problem to the area? IN CONCLUSION I MOULD LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER THIS PROJECT LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE BUILT NEXT DOOR TO YOUR HOUSE BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION..

The plan includes many more structures that will have even more impact on our neighborhood and the west side of Saratoga. The hospital has not been forthright with me or you. They along with Mr. Jones have done everything possible to keep their plan from the public. It started with the final meeting of the comprehensive board regarding changes to the plan. it was brought up near the end of the meeting that evening by Mr. Jones and Kevin Ronayne, a hospital executive." They were able to push this change through at the last moment with the help of some very biased comprehensive plan committee ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. . members. one who has the contract to build this building, if it is approved. This plan by MR. Jones and Ronayne could not have been done without the approval of Angelo Calbone the hospital administrator. He has said all along how the hospital wants to work with the neighborhood as it has in the past worked with them, not so. He has stated that this is for the greater good of the community, not so. The hospital is a business and they like every other hospital in the area are looking for expansion. They are motivated by profits like any other business. The highest paid individual at the hospital is no longer the Doctors it's the administrator. Mr. Calbone`s salary was in excess of 460,000 thousand dollars not including benefits two years ago. They have stated this office building will be a recruiting tool, Please, pay the Doctors what they deserve and you won't have any problem recruiting them to come to Saratoga. Please think about this matter very carefully, this is the destruction of a neighborhood both literally and financially. https:Hm.saratoga-spdngs.org/h/printmessage?id=84995&tz=America/New York 113 Mr. Mark Torpey, Chairman Saratoga Springs Planning Board 15 Vanderbilt Ave Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 Sirs; 40 Seward St Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 My name is Ina Harney, I live at 40 Seward Street and have since 1984. My neighborhood has been a residential neighborhood for all time. I have lived in Saratoga Springs since moving here as a small child ire 1956. My family was business owners in Saratoga. I have previously sent a letter to the board with my objections to the hospital building a massive OFFICE building in my neighborhood. This building is not part of the hospital, it is an office buildi for an estimated 400 employees, 400 cars, and the potential of 400 (4 per doctor, PA, Tech per hour) patients. This will cause massive traffic issue as well as water issues and light and air pollution issues. Any traffic study done by the hospital was at the best fraudulent. I attended the May 16, 2019 Planning Board meeting where I thought we were to voice our opposition to the rezoning of our neighborhood from residential to commercial. We do not want an office part in our neighborhood for anyone, not just the hospital. This I addressed. I did not realize the hospital was to play the "'No Backsie" card. All they said was you okayed it once, no taking it back. They said they got this through at a public meeting. Well, yes, but after midnight on the last day. Who was awake then to protect our neighborhood? Where was our chance to protest their plan that no one knew about before you okayed their plan? Why would we have thought someone would steal our neighborhood in the middle of the night? Why did no one protect the residents of this neighborhood? Just rubber stamped what the hospital wanted. They came in the night and stole our neighborhood! Why can any entity or builder go before the zoning board and get zoning changed? I know it is done at the request of many builders. it is like the zoning and restrictions only apply to the residents,, not the builders. We, the neighbors, had no way to object then, but we objected two years ago and object again now. This current maneuver was done to prevent us from getting a super majority again. As Matt Jones said two years ago, "We'll just wait for the next council." Another maneuver and proof they are just going to try to ram this down our throats. There are other places for this Office Building to go. The hospital already has two buildings at Exit 15. That does appear to be too far for these buildings. There is plenty of land and place for parking. There is easy access and on the bus route. There are all the facilities there that are at the hospital, including a surgery center. The AYCO offices will be vacant in the next year. An existing large office building with parking. At the meeting they presented the following invalid arguments. • No can ever schedule consecutive appointments with multiple doctors. That is absurd. • There is no such thing as an emergency that they need to get to the hospital quickly. There are doctors there to treat emergency in their new emergency rooms. If the emergency is that serious, I would hope the doctors could work without these extra hands for at least 20 minutes of so. • Which leads me to the absurdity of this argument. Can we only have emergencies, for the eight hours the doctors are in their offices? What happens for the other 16 in the day or 48 on the weekend? Are the emergency room doctors incapable? Please change the zoning back to residential and keep our neighborhood as a wonderful neighborhood in Saratoga. Sincerely, 4a Harney To: Mr. Mark Torpev. Chair W Mr. Jamin Totino, Vice Chair Mr. Robert Bristol Ms. Janet Casey Date: May 21, 2019 From: David & Jaime Evans 26 Saratoga Circle, Saratoga Springs, N.Y. %_01 a Re: Parcel I of the UDO Mr. Todd Fabozzi Ms. Ruth Horton Ms. Sara Bolein Ms. Amv Ryan 0 Dear Chairman Torpev, Vice Chairman Totino and Planning Board Members!, Thank you for your diligence with this issue, we know you are getting hit from all sides, we don't envy you. We are firmly opposed to the rezoning of parcel #1 from residential to Institutional/Commercial as it would be devastating to our neighborhood and our property. A few important points for your consideration: Chris Mathiesen, former Commissioner of Public Safety has publicly stated that he didn't know what he had voted on and soon realized it was a mistake. He subsequently made a motion to ensure that Parcel:41 remained residential. This is significant. Even if the original City Council vote was unanimous, it is now clear that at least one "yes" vote was in question shortly after the plan was adopted and once the Council member had more information. It also raises this critical question: if Mr. Mathiesen didn't know, how many others also didn't know? After learning from City Attorney, Vincent DeLeonardis that there were approximately 250 parcels in the city that had to be dealt with as part of the Comprehensive Plan, one or more PB members questioned the "rationale'" for this I" group of 18, and the inclusion of Parcel 41. When the rationale was brought up again at the 5/16 meeting, Saratoga Hospital's Vice President of Ope ration sXacilities, Kevin P. Ronayne, eagerly volunteered that it was he who had requested the zoning change. 1 strongly encourage you to watch the -v.rldco of the Community Development advisory W committee"s November 2014 meeting where Kevin Ronayne. makes the pitch for the proposed change in zoning. (06:02) He acknowledges that his request is *ea little late to the game" but he asks for the committee's indulgence '-because we just acquired land on Morgan Street late last summer." f le said the hospital wants the land included in an institutional zone so that it can build offices for physicians. He said the hospital operates less efficiently with offices spread from Exit 15 south to Malta and hopes to consolidate all physician offices in one building. Without being able to build these offices on Morgan Street, he tells the committee *vwc really have, no place to go." The discussion that ensues shows that the committee really does not understand what it is being asked to do. Members speak of simply "efflarging a bubble"' around the hospital campus and Morgan Street. One member thinks the proposed change is contingent upon the hospital acquiring the land and that, failing that, no change would be made. It is not clear to the committee %),.hat the current zoning is or what the effects of the zoning change might be. There is no acknowledgement. for example. that many single-familv homes would be impacted. Nevertheless, the commi'tteevotes in favor of the change. No Notice, 0 Public Discussion. There seems to be two levels of potential spot zoning going on here: 1. The change in the Future Land Use Map to change the general use designation of Parcel #1 from a Residential category to an "Institutional" category, at the direct request of the Hospital, as admitted by the Hospital VP at the PB i-neeting on 5/16/19; and 2. The further implementation of the Hospital's request by changing the specific zoning district of Parcel A from I.TR- I (residential) to OMB -2 (which allows for Offices or Medical Offices). The change is not to an entire zoning district; it's onIv to one particular Parcel of land, for .0% a specific entity, and the change has potential adverse economic and other impacts to the nearby residential propertv owners, We are not community activists and have never been involved in anything like this, but we are alarmed at how this has unfolded, and how strong pressure and influence has been used to drive what many now understand was an irresponsible decision based on limited information. We are told to not speak about an individual entity's plans, which is difficult when the Hospital Attorney is present at every meeting with a singular message supporting the Hospital Development and clear instructions for the PB members. Don."t the taxpaying residents have a right to be concerned about a process that has been so obviously flawed? We are not anti -hospital and have stated that all along, but it is disconcerting to have Hospital doctors and nurses., none of whom live in the neighborhood, show up to speak on behalf of the hospital, without any concerti or regard for the Hospital's neighbors. By their own admission the hospital has other viable options for their expansion, they* List like the Morgan Street property because it would be less expensive. The cost savings to them is minimal when compared to the indelible, long -ten -n impact on the hundreds of neighbors that Will be impacted. Please recommend that this parcel remain residential. Thank You. Dave & Jaime Evans 518-495-8500 cc: Mayor Meg Kelly and Members of the City Council .e be To: Mr. Mark Torpey, Chair Mr. Jamin Totino, Vice Chair Mr. Robert Bristol Ms. Janet Casey Date: May 20, 2019 From: Tim and Tracy Riley Re: Parcel I of the UDO Mr. Todd Fabom* Ms. Ruth Horton Ms. Sara Bolvin Ms. Any Ryan Dear Chairman Torpey, Vice Chainnan Totino and Planning Board Members, MAY 20 �p19 We want to thank you for listening to all points of view on the proposal to rezone Parcel I of the Comprehensive Plan from URI, single family homes to OMB -2, medical institutional. We also appreciate you requesting a 30 day extension for your advisement to the City Council. As Chris Mathiesen, former Commissioner of Public Safety publicly and properly commented on this was a mistake, was not well vetted and will negatively 'impact our residential neighborhood and should be officially reinstated as URI, single family homes. The overall 15 plus acres of land in question is one of the most beautiful parcels of residential land in all of Saratoga Springs. It has historical value (site of the Gideon Putnam Farm) with mature oak and maple trees, lots of wild life including deer and fox, and has panoramic views of the foothills of the Adirondacks. This serene parcel of land is zoned residential for a reason; it is right in the middle of a residential neighborhood. We purchased our home for life in Birch Run knowing that is was zoned residential. We would have never made this huge 'investment if we new there was the possibility it would be rezoned institutional. Many of our neighbors are retired or will soon be retired. They, we, deserve the tranquility and peace we worked all our lives for. Rezoning would not only kill our property values it would destroy the quality of life we were assured when purchasing our property in a residential URI zone. esi Financially it doesn"t make any sense to rezone. This beautiful parcel of residential land is zoned URI and would support at least a dozen estate size homes that would pay over $I 50A0 in city, county and school taxes each and every year. And then you subtract the thousands of dollars that over 100 residents would experience from the devaluation of their homes from the rezoning each and every year you are costing the city, county and schools millions in the long run. Who is going to compensate home owners for this devaluation and the city for this gigantic loss's Our streets are narrow and winding. They were designed for a quiet residential neighborhood not as a cut through for thousands of cars to Church St. It is scary early in the morning just *0 trying to go for a jog. Many run stop signs and speed and I have seen close calls with pedestrians (mvself included), school buses, trucks and passenger cars as they navigate these 40 narrow streets. The noise, light pollution, and water runoff a project of this magnitude will present would be unbearable. Can you imagine an 88,000 square ft. office building with 300 car parking lot just feet from your home? First would come the blasting, then the cutting of the trees. Then for years, noise and air pollution from the construction trucks and actual construction of the building and parking lot. The height of this proposed building will tower over many of the homes in Birch Run permanently blocking the views to the west and setting sun. And then the never ending traffic..... The hospital has professed many times now that they have the space fight across the street from the hospital on their current campus. Their current campus allows for 3 to 5 story building so why did they build one and two story buildings on their campus.? Why are none of their buildings connected or uniform in size, design, or appearance? They can go up so why don't they? They claimed for the last number of months that they would need a parking garage estimated at $10 million and they can't fiscally justify that. Then last week at the Planning Board meeting they said the parking garage would cost $15 million. 'This Just proves that the hospital has never looked in to their current campus as an option. Do you believe any of the numbers they are throwing out? I think you know this is not about patient care. Does patient care suffer because doctors are located a half a mile from the hospital at I West or Care Lane or a block away on Church St.? So this is about money and money only. Let's sav that a parking garage really costs $10 million if anyone can believe this now. If they sell the Markey Mansion which was donated to them and then give up their option on Parcel I they would have.more than half the funds necessary to build the parking garage. The hospital has claimed thev will save $750,000 per year in doctor's office leases if they build this building. At today's interest rates they could have the note for the parking garage paid off in 6 years. And why not put the helicopter pad on the roof of the garage. This would be a lot safer for take- off and landing than the small ground pad they now have near the parking lot and trees. The doctors would be then right across from the hospital and would be able to confer both in their medical building and at the hospital. This would save minutes that could make the difference in life and death situations. Before you make your advisement please ask yourself would you move your family right next to an 88,000 square foot office building and parking lot for 300 cars? Please keep his beautiful residential land URI for single family homes. The hospital has other options if they really need their medical office buildings. We don't. Our lives will be negatively u'npacted forever if you change the zoning. Please make our letter part of the official record. Thanks so much for your care fal review.

Some of our neighbors are elderly and cannot afford to pay for legal action, and some are very young with large mortgage/renovation costs and/or student loans. Those of us who are paying to protect our homes are more than happy to extend our group out to everyone in the area. As you heard last week from speakers, this opposition group extends to State Street, Clinton/Clement, and on to North Broadway and vicinities. As an update on my neighbor at 7 South Collins Terrace, whose driveway and side yard would become hospital property: She wrote to the Administrator who replied with what she described as a ""form letter" stating that they could probably work out an easement for her (so that she could get into her garage). We all heard Chris Mathieson who admitted to his mistake and spoke of the City Council -'s mistake in approving the Comprehensive Plan (and his attempt to amend the action). My conversation with Mayor Kelly revealed her regret in "inheriting this situation", as well as the great confidence she places in this Saratoga Springs Planning Board. Since two wrongs cannot make a right., I implore you to look back. This re -zoning situation has become so absurd, it needs to be rectified now, and your action is critical. I would also ask that you walk the areas in question — not just Parcel #1, but the entire area near the employees parking, the dialysis center, the DiCresce property, heliport, patient/visitor parking, and all of the unsightly, already -existing parking lots that our hospital has indiscriminately spread around the entire area. A tour of this nature would reveal all of the options that the hospital has in locating a new office building (without even considering additional floors on the main building). Additionally., I still feel that a parking garage on their existing property is a responsible expenditure, that would indicate foresight by an 'institution that is within the city limits. https://m.saratoga-spdngs.org/h/p,-intmes-sage?,d-85208&tz-America!New-York 2:'3 5/21/2019 Zim bra The cost could be covered by canceling the Collins sale, ($4M?) and holding off building the hospital's offices in Glens Falls until it has responsibly completed this project in its hometown City of Saratoga Springs. Saratoga Hospital has options for its building site. The neighbors have no option. Thank you for your time and consideration in listening to me.

I fully support the rezoning of the Morgan street property for the purpose of medical offices for several reasons. This hospital serves the entire community, and by consolidating these practice sites, it will increase the hospital's productivity and allow reinvestment into the community. Saratoga Hospital is a forward thinking organization that is attempting to be creative with its resources and plan for unanticipated needs in the future. This is why It does not make sense to build upon the existing parking lot. Saratoga Springs residents will greatly benefit from having access to all of their specialty providers in one location. I do not agree that this will depreciate property values for the residents or significantly hamper their quality of life. The offices will not see large traffic on evenings and weekends. Conversely, any other residential use of that property will likely he a mixed- use condo that will have 24/7 traffic which will be increased on nights and weekends . Ask them to look at traffic from the apartment/condo (Hamlet) developments on Excelsior avenue near True Value Hardware. They may yearn for the hum drum activity of a 9-5 medical office. https"//m.saratoga-spH ngs.org/h/pnntmessage?i d--85159&tz-Amer!ca/New—York ill 5/2W2019 Zimbra Zimbra j nnif r, rr man@sarato - rin . rg Fwd: Zoning Concerns regarding vacant land adjacent to Birch Run From Susan Barden <susan-barden@saratoga-springs.org> Mon, May 20, 2019 10,025 AM Subject Fwd: Zoning Concerns regarding vacant land adjacent to Birch Run To : Jennifer Merriman <iennifer.merriman@saratoga- spri ngs. org > Susan B.

Thank you, Katie Dear Mr. Torpey and Members of the Planning Board, We would like to share with you our opinion on the rezoning of the property in District 25 on Morgan Street, proposed for Saratoga Hospital development. I'm sure you are aware of the disappointment of the surrounding neighborhoods, including but not exclusively Morgan Street, Myrtle Street, Seward Street and the residential communities of Birch Run Phase I & 11, to the reclassification in the Comprehensive Plan from residential to institutional. We purchased our home in 2015, and we looked up the zoning in our back yard, the above property, and it was zoned residential. Our property value will go down about 40 percent if zoning is changed. Please do not allow this to happen. Our neighborhoods have been against this change from the beginning and feel were not given the appropriate notification or chance for discussion as this change was made in the final stages of https://m.saratoga-springs.orgih/printmessage? d-85138&tz-America,'New—York 1/2 5/20/2019 Zimbm the final meeting- At this time, we are requesting you keep this property zoned residential as you work on and adopt the Unified Development Ordinance(UDO) by updating the Zoning map to correspond with the Comprehensive Plan changes (2014). Rezoning of this property will have many adverse effects on the neighborhoods involved. Traffic will greatly increase on streets involved that were never built to handle it, creating dangerous situations. Much concern also with drainage issues not only to Birch Run Community but also the Golf and Polo Club. Property values will decrease, and the over all residential neighborhood feel will be impacted. We would like you to also be aware that we are not opposed to Hospital expansion, but feel it should be done on the Hospitals current expansive campus. Possible expansion could be current 14 new parking lot" adjacent to The Golf and Polo Club? Has a parking garage ever come into the conversation? Please include this correspondence in City records on this Zoning matter and the application of Saratoga Hospital for spot zoning at the Myrfle — Morgan Streets site. Please make our letter part of the official record of this proceeding. In closing, thank you for the opportunity to exercise our opinion on this issue.

My husband and I have lived in our home at 10 Joseph Street for the past 18 years. During that time we have seen the evolution of a new, vital neighborhood which includes not only Joseph Street but also Elm and Persimmon Streets, We and our neighbors take great pride in what we have developed in our personal lots as well as what we have nurtured in the property along the bike path. Our neighborhood certainly reflects the elements of the Comprehensive Plan adopted by the city in 2015. Under the CRN -1 designation, our core residential neighborhood has character, unique architecture,, historic elements (including the the bike path that was formerly a railroad bed), front porches, sidewalks and tree -lined streets. Having lived in Saratoga Springs since 1971, 1 have seen many changes. I realize how precious city land has become and I appreciate the need to maximize the remaining parcels. As much as I love seeing the greenery behind the bike path from my back porch, I realize that may change at some point. I could visualize single or two family housing there which would be compatible with the CRN -1 designation and the Comprehensive Plan. For that reason I urge you to keep the present zoning intact. Thank you for your attention to this very important issue. I know you will do your best to preserve our neighborhood as well as others around the city. Respectfully, Marion Roth SARATOGA HOSPITAL MEDICAL GROUP Public Comment made at Planning Board meeting May 16, 2019: nn ly MAY 72olg 211 Church Street Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 | am Dr. Todd Duthaler, speaking on behalf of Saratoga Hospital Medical Group which consists of2B]physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. | want to stress to the Board how critical it is to accept the zoning change from residential bocornrnerc/aNnstitutiona|.

I attended the May 21 Council meeting, but did not have time to speak during the brief Public Comments portion. I hope you will kindly accept this letter in place of my speaking at the meeting. My wife and I own 18 Saratoga Circle, where my wife's parents currently reside. I've read a lot of what has been written by Hospital representatives, and I listened intently to what they said at the May 16 Planning Board call and again at the May 21 City Council meeting. To date, I have not heard them make a single argument (not even an attempt) to refute the concerns of our Birch Run neighbors and those of our many neighbors from Morgan St, Myrtle, Seward, and elsewhere. We've stated our grave concerns, about traffic, lighting., noise, and resulting serious home devaluation. They never say we're wrong (how could they ?). They simply ignore the huge impact to us by saying, "It's for the greater good", So, let's all acknowledge that they actually agree that our concerns are real. They just don't care that we could easily lose $100,,000 or more of equity in our homes. But, let anyone else mention a perfectly viable alternative to their Morgan Street plans and they immediately cry about the alleged financial impact to them. Apparently, theirfin, ncial https:,�/m.saratoga-springs.org/h/prirtmessage?bd=85726&tz-America/New—York 1/3 5/29/2019 Zimbra concerns trurnp those of hundreds of private citizens. They don't dare say that aloud; however, that is the inescapable conclusion of their position. What they do say is, "Trust us". What does trust have to do with an, this ? Hundreds of us will lose a sizable chunk of equity in our homes. And they are talking about trust ??? Also, they tend to preface their i`arguments" with statements that they are part of a team of dedicated health-care professionals. I'm sure they are. That's all well and good, but it is a total non sequitur in any discussion about the devastating problems this new facility will cause us. I've heard their claim that this proposed facility somehow improves health care by improving collaboration. I don't buy that argument in the least. My personal experience, which I see right now with a critically ill family member, is that when doctors fail to collaborate, it's not because their offices are in different buildings. The problem is that they are very busy people spread very thin because they have numerous patients that demand their time. (That is the nature of things that comes with being dedicated health-care professionals), They are only marginally more likely to collaborate than they do presently because they will still have that constraint of being so busy. By the way, given today's communications technology (which will further improve imminently with the advent of 5G wireless technology), the communication/collaboration argument is silly. So..... it seems to come down to money. They say it will cost more to build elsewhere. I don't know why, but even if that were true, how can you expect that we Pritizen5 must bear the very real, huge, and personal financial burden so they can save money? I ask you to please consider this as the key and inescapable point — If you allow them to build this facility, you are quite literally paying for it with rmoney. - .. adding insult to great injury. Another point.... I've heard from time to time that "a small bunch of Richie Riches T? are standing in thew ray of the greater good. It's preposterous that those of us whose house values closely approximate the median price in Saratoga Springs should be so -labelled. And beyond that, it is downright insulting. The clear inference is that if you took any other group of 200 residents from elsewhere in this city and you plopped them into our homes, they, unlike us, would say, "Sure, come on in and build here. We don't mind all the traffic nor losing $100,000, because we know it's for the greater good." Who on Earth believes it's true that no one else would have precisely the same complaints and concerns that we have if they lived where we live ? The other residents of Saratoga are counting their blessings that they are not faced with our dilemma. One final point - My in-laws, who live in Birch Run, are decidedly against this project. That is in spite of the irony that my mother-in-law is currently in Saratoga Hospital, where she is getting wonderful care from wonderful people. I cannot praise them enough. I don't think I've ever seen anyone treated so well, universally, by every doctor, nurse, orderly, food server, you name it. So, kudos to the Hospital staff for the care they are providing her. But that does not enhance their rezoning argument, because, aside from the fact that it is their job to provide such care, it doesn't have anything to do with the dire consequences to us of rezoning this property and allowing this facility to be sited there. PLEASE do not allow this property to be rezoned. Thank you very much.

The hospital believes these plans are essential to the future of healthcare in Saratoga CountyandI agree. I trust Saratoga Hospital and its medical team to do what's best for the health of our region. Now, and for the future. The hospital has been caring for our community from its Church Street location for more than a century—long before surrounding homes existed. As this community has grown, the hospital must also grow to meet those needs in an ever -more complicated healthcare landscape. And the hospital has always been a good neighbor, working hard to address the concerns of nearby residents. Yet a small group of people in the mixed-use neighborhood is trying to block a project that will benefit the entire community. That"s just not right. The zoning map that's up for review was developed as part of a lengthy six-year process that included multiple opportunities for community input. Most recently, the Saratoga County Planning Board reviewed the updated map and provided a positive opinion to the City Council.

Box 4400 Saratoga Springs, New York 12866 Phone (518) 587-0080 www.saratogalaw.com MAY 2019 sy� z Please accept this letter regarding the proposed city-wide rezoning as a part of the initial phase of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). I am writing in response to Claudia Braymer's letter to the Saratoga County Planning Board of April 18, 2019 (copy attached). Specifically, I would like to clarify what appears to be some confusion by Ms. Braymer between land use designations in the Comprehensive Plan and zoning districts within the City's Zoning Ordinance, which are two distinct categories. Ibis. Braymer represents a group of residents from the Birch Run, Morgan Street and Myrtle Street conununities who live near the area referred to as Parcel 41 in the City's Draft Zoning Map. This city-wide rezoning is part of a larger effort to synchronize and streamline the City's land use regulations and policy documents in accordance with the updated Comprehensive Plan adopted by the City Council. When it was updated on June 2, 2015, the Comprehensive Plan changed the land use designation around Parcel 41 to `Institutional.' Consequently, and as required by statute, the specific zoning district in the City's Zoning Ordinance must be in accord with this neve land use ..................................................... ......................................................................................................................... designation of the Comprehensive Plan. ei eral C ity Law § Z D �� 5 �. `iThe Ins .tuts.on.al designation includes areas that provide services such as religious, educational, health, cultural and tourism." Comprehensive Plan p. 59 (emphasis added). It is for this reason that Can"ros, Ltd. identified Parcel #I as one of eighteen areas to be rezoned. As a part of this process, Parcel #I would change from its current zoning district of Urban Residential -1 (UR -1) to Office/Medical/Business-2 (OMB -2), The new zoning district OMB -2 would allow for Office, Medical, Office/Clinic and Parking Facilities upon site plan approval. Other uses require the issuance by the Planning Board of a special use permit and site V:MAIN EILESISaratoga CnrelZoniug Change - Morgan Street 2018-191Correspondcnce\ScntlTogcy, Mark Ur re Braymer Response 5.15.19.dacm Page 2 of 3 May 15, 201 9 plan approval. Importantly, the OMB -2 zoning district is driven by health-related services that are in compliance with the overarching land use designation of Institutional required by the Comprehensive Plan. At page 2 of her letter, Ms. Braymer conflates the Institutional designation in the Comprehensive Plan with the various, similarly named institutional :coning districts in the Zoning Ordinance. These are not the same thing. Indeed, some of the institutional zoning districts in the zoning Ordinance would comply with the Plan's Institutional designation., as Ms. Braymer points out, but it is equally true that compliance is also achieved by a rezoning to OMB - 2. The ley is whether the proposed zoning district OMB -21 under the City's Ordinance complies with the "..,religious, educational, health, cultural and tourism" uses required by the Comprehensive Plan (emphasis added). Ms. Braymer argues that "the Institutional zoning district is not intended for medical office buildings" and therefore the current proposal should be rejected. The difficulty here is that she is referring to specific institutional zoning districts in the .honing Ordinance and not the Institutional designation in the Comprehensive Ilan, in which health --related services are affirmatively intended. OMB -2 provides for health-related services and therefore the proposed rezoning of Parcel #1 is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Moreover, three sitting members of the Planning Board (including the Chair, former Chairman Bob Bristol and Member Janet Casey), were members of the Planning Board in 2015 when the Board unanimously adopted a favorable advisory opinion to the City Council on a nearly identical issue �Advisory Opinion attached). Specifically, the Planning Board provided a favorable advisory opinion on the Saratoga Hospital's PUD Amendment application. That application contemplated an expansion of the Hospital's PUD to allow for a medical office building to be located in the area of Parcel #1. Asa part of the Board's review it analyzed project specifics such as traffic, noise, lighting and infrastructure improvements, and subsequently issued a unanimous negative declaration under SBQP.A, finding, implicitly, that the proposal would not generate any significant adverse environmental impacts. In its review, the Board considered the two questions required of it under its zoning Ordinance Section 10. 1.5. 1. ....The opinion was related to the proposed rezoning of a portion of the same land that has been identified by Camiros as Parcel #1. The Board determined that the proposed rezoning (by PUD) for the medical office use was (i) not contrary to the general purposes and intent of this [Zoning Ordinance] chapter and (ii) in accordant with the Comprehensive Plan as most recently adopted in June 2015. Put another way, less than four years ago, the Planning Board addressed the very issue of whether medical offices were consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's designation of Institutional. Unanimously, the Board answered those questions in the affirmative. t Section 2.01 Table 1: zoning Districts and District Intents, of the zoning Ordinance directs the Diistrict Intent of OMB -2 is "To accommodate business, medical and professional office uses as well as health related institutional facilities in the OMB -2," (emphasis added).

During the course of your deliberations on Parcel #l, the Board will review, then answer the sane two questions that it considered In 2015. However, instead of analyzing a specific project, the Board is looking at a oity-Wide rezoning that includes health-related, and possibly medical office related, uses at Parcel #1, uses that the Board has already found comply with the Comprehensive Plan and uses for which precedent of favorable Planning Board review is evidenced and in the record. I swish to thank the Board for its thorough analysis of the City Council's request for an advisory opinion under Section. 10.1.5,1.

StreetlMyrtle Street neighborhoods) who lige near Parcel #1 of the proposied zonmg changes that are being considered by the Saratoga Springs City Council. We respectfully request that you recommend removal of Parcel #1 from the package of changes currently berg proposed. Please also see the enclosed letter from the Birch Run Homeowners associations. The current proposal involves changing Parcel #1 from a medium density residential zone (UR -1)_, where theprincipal permitted structures are single family residences, to a commercial zoning district (OM -W), where the intent is to accommodate "business, medical and professional office uses as well as health related in..stitutiojaal facilities'. Saratoga Springs Zonm* g Ordinance Chapter 2 (Tables 1 and 2). The intensity of the use of tete land will increase with the change from a medium density residential zone to a high impact commercial. use. The access to Parcel. # 1 is primarily from Route 9N (Church Street). Given, the importance of Route 9N as a main travel corridor through Saratoga County, and the proximity of P arc el #1 to the Torn of Greenfield, the Current proposal should be removed from consideration so that it can be more carefully evaluated by all parties involved. The County Planning Board, the City Planning Board and the City Council need to take a closer, more thoughtful loop at the proposal before changing the zoning of a particular area of land for the benefit of a single entity M the City. The City's Comprehensive Flan expresses the City's vision for the "intensity bf uses" to become "less as one travels away from the Core" of • r the City. Comprehensive Plan p. 55. The current proposal to change Parcel #1 does not make f i the intensity of use less. To the contrary, the proposed area to be rezoned would become a more intense use of land. Moreover, Parcel #1 is sandwiched between a low -intensity, residential neighborhood on F the edge of the City, and another residential, single family residential neighborhood to the south of thearcel. Therefore, it does not make sense from. a planning perspective to turn this area into p = an island of more intense land usage. Additionally, the proposed change to Parcel #1 is not in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use Map set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan " indicates that the area where Parcel #1 is located is intended to become an Institutional land use. f The Institutional zoning districts are intended to "accommodate uses that supplement and complement the operation of education oriented facilities", "horse track operations", "local govemment" functions, and "passive and active recreation". Zoning ordinance Chapter 2 (Tables 1 and 2). The Institutiond zoning district is not intended formedical office buildings (OM -B2) as is being ptoposed for Parcel #1. Therefore, the current proposal should be rejected. Finally, the Comprehensive Plan's Future Laud Use Map showed that additional areas were .to be rezoned to an Institutional Land Use. Those areas included other lands owned by Saratoga Hospital as well as' lands owned by the Saratoga Golf and Palo Club. There is no rational explanation for why only Parcel #1, the site of Saratoga Hospital's intended medical officc building, is being rezoned to OM -B2. For the reasons stated above, we respectfully request that you recommend to the City Council. that Parcel #1 be removed from the package of changes currently under consideration so that this particular proposal can be more thoroughly evaluated. Tbank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Isl Claudia K. Braymer Claudia K. Braynor enc. CC: Vincent J.
