Comments While I appreciate that there's demand for apartments in
downtown Saratoga, the need for more space should not come
at the expense of diluting the charm and historic character of
the downtown. The proposed 6 story building is not in any way
in keeping with the character of the buildings around it in either
style nor height. The height is particularly offensive as it towers
over the historic buildings next to it. The city has allowed too
many apartment buildings that aren't in keeping with the historic
charm of the neighboring buildings and usually soar 2 or more
stories about the neighboring buildings creating a visually
inconsistent and disruptive view of the street they are on. What
is wrong with requiring developers to stick to strict height limits
and exteriors that incorporate elements of historic Saratoga
builidngs?
