2.2 Proposed Uses
In accordance with City of Saratoga Springs UDO zoning code multi-family and townhomes are allowed uses within
Neighborhood Center(NC) District perArticle 8, Table 8-A. The multi-family will require a special use permit by the
City while townhomes area permitted use under this table.
2.3 Area Variance
Based upon the site design, concept plan and location of new city roads 70% buildout along frontage cannot be
achieved. (Table 4-C). A variance will be required due to shape of lot and proposed roadway design. It is also
anticipated an area variance for the parking lots being in the front yard will be required. Due to design, center core
amenities space, and frontage on all sides of multi-family units. Thus, relief from UDO code section 10.2.B.4 is
required.Additional area variances maybe required forthis project based upon UDO code.A further analysis ofthis
will be performed as the project progresses.
2.4 Civic Space
There are two proposed civic spaces for this project for the general public to use. One will be a dog park with park
benches near the entrance to Station Lane. This space will be fenced, have benches and tables and small dogs
training/play items within it. The other will be near the train station/overflow parking area which will be available to
the public. This space would include a pergola and benches/tables. The photos below are representations of what
will be proposed in the civic space.

Project Narrative
previously done, Van Guilder Land Surveying PLLC preform a new wetland on June 3, 2022. The new wetland
delineation follows the prior wetland delineation, and it is anticipated less than 0.1 acres of Federal jurisdictional
wetlands will be disturbed for this project based upon the proposed concept plan. It is also anticipated that a
NYSDEC wetland buffer disturbance permit will also be required for this project.

4.6 Soils
United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service soils maps were review for the
project site. Based upon available data the site is mostly sand, no bedrock outcropping and water table varies from
2 feet to greater than 10 feet. The Hydrologic soil groups (HSG)was identified as Soils Group A to D. Over 95% of
the site has a HSG ofA or has a high capacity of infiltration of rainfall.

4.7 Stormwater
The project will impact stormwater runoff.As the soils are within the site are mainly HSG A, infiltration of stormwater
runoff will be proposed.A stormwater report will be issue to the City during site plan demonstrating the project is in
conformance with NYSDEC Stormwater Design Manual General Permit 00-20-002 and local laws.
4.8 Traffic and NYSDOT
A Traffic consultant will prepare a traffic report for the proposed new concept plan for the site. The traffic consultant
will review the existing and proposed impacts the project has on West Ave and Station Lane intersection, NYS
Route 29 access, NYS Route 29 and West Ave intersection and NYS Route 9N and West Ave intersection will all
be reviewed. The proposed project is anticipated to generate less traffic than the prior design project as there is no
proposed Hotel or commercial/retail space. Based upon the findings of the traffic report, NYSDOT permits, and
approvals will be required for this project for the development of this project.
4.9 Utilities (Water and Sewer) and NYSDOH
The project will utilize the existing water and sewer systems within this area for the project site.A detail engineering
report of water pressures, residual pressure and sewer capacity will be done preformed during site plan design of
this project. As the project proposes a subdivision, with water and sewer extensions, approval by NYS Department
of Health (NYSDOH) will be required for the project. Below are anticipated water and sewer generated by the
proposed project.

4.11 Solid Waste
Waste generated by the project will vary and the typical average of 4 Ibs per apartment unit per day is a common
value used in the industry. The Multi-Family units will produce about 1,336 Ibs or about 0.68 tons per day of soil
waste. The townhouse dwelling will have typical average of 8 Ibs per dwelling unit per day is also common value
used in the industry waste. The townhouse dwelling units will produce about 384 Ibs or about 0.19 tons per day of
soil waste
The projected total is about 0.87 tons per day or about 6.1 tons a week is anticipated.All solid waste will be sent to
Town of Colonie Solid waste facility. Per NYSDEC MSW Landfill Capacity the annual permit tons to the landfill is
August 2022
Page 14
< EP Ll�ND SERVICES
Project Narrative
255,840 while in 2018 only 253,687 tons was disposed of there. The landfill has a capacity of 7,290,392 tons or
based upon NYSDEC permit another 30 years of capacity before landfill expansion would be required.
4.12Schools
The school district will see additional students as a result of the proposed 334 multi-family units and 48 townhouse
dwellings. Using National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) data for an apartment building with 20 or more
units would see about 17 school age kids per 100 units. Thus using NAHB data, the 334 proposed apartment unit
could have 57 school age kids or on average about 4 children per grade (K-12). The Townhouse dwelling units will
also have an increase in school age kids as a result of the proposed use. It is anticipated that 29 school age kids
or on average about 3 children per grade (K-12).
All school age children for this proposed project would are within Saratoga School District. The project site will
send children to Saratoga High School, Saratoga Junior High School and to Division Street Elementary School.The
enrollment of student is the district are listed below based upon data available through New York State Education
Department.

2014-2015 2,087 2014-2015 364
2013-2014 2,125 2013-2014 383
As see above there has been an overall decrease in the student population.Thus, based upon the proposed project,
the number of new students (7 children per grade) will not adversely affect the school district.

Project Code: 2022-0071374
Project Name: Saratoga Station Park
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act(Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
� �>i�-� ?i��� ?
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GL O S.PDF
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act(MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project-related impacts.Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project-related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project-related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to-
birds.php.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities o f Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/
executive-orders/e0-13186.php.
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the
header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office.
