I. PROJECT SUMMARY
The proposed mixed-use development project is located at 126 West Avenue (at
intersection of West Avenue and Grand Avenue) in the City of Saratoga Springs,
Saratoga County. The proposed project consists of the development of four residential
units, a two-story office with an apartment on the third floor, private access drive with
parking field and associated utilities including water, sanitary sewer and storm water
collection and management facilities. Water supply and sewer collection will be
provided through connections to the existing municipal facilities located along Grand
Avenue and West Avenue, respectively. Tax Map ID 165.72-1-22.1 references the 0.54-
acre site
II. ZONING
The proposed development is located within the City of Saratoga Springs T-4 Urban
Neighborhood District. The minimum frontage buildout defined by City code is 50%.
The proposed façade length on West Avenue is 180+/- ft, which is 84.5% of the total
213 ft West Avenue frontage.
The project required Variances regarding building front yard setback and side yard
parking setback. Variances granted providing relief from the T-4 zoning code, at the City
of Saratoga Springs Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on July 25, 2022.
III. WATER SUPPLY
Proposed water service is provided to the project parcel through connection to the
existing City of Saratoga Springs 8” C.I. watermain located along Grand Avenue. A new
2” copper water service lateral will be installed within the ROW of Grand Avenue. The
2” copper service lateral will transition to 2” HDPE at the curb stop located near the
center of the tree belt.
Through coordination with the City of Saratoga Springs the individual residential units
and office will be metered separately. Each unit will include individual service laterals
and meters. The 2” HDPE will terminate at the north end of the proposed building with
individual meters for the office and apartment unit.
Approximately 200 L.F. of privately owned 2” HDPE water line will be installed to
provide service for the entire building. All water main and associated services shall be
installed with a minimum of 5 feet of cover for frost protection.
There is an existing fire hydrant located on the west side of West Avenue at the
northwest corner of the site. If required, the proposed building will be constructed with
a fire-suppression system. All proposed fire suppression systems shall be
reviewed/certified by others for fire flows required and shall be designed to the
appropriate NFPA codes (13R). Hydrant flow testing performed by Ingalls & Associates
3
and the City at the existing hydrant on West Avenue indicated a static pressure of 82 psi
with a flow rate of 1,469 gpm at a residual pressure of 72 psi. A fire flow of 3,934 gpm
was determined at a minimum pressure of 20 psi. Therefore, adequate flow and
pressure exist for both domestic and fire flow purposes.
All water mains and appurtenances will be installed in accordance with the City of
Saratoga Springs Department of Public Works, Division of Water design standards.
IV. COLLECTION SEWER
The project is currently serviced by municipal sewer by the City of Saratoga Springs.
The project will utilize an existing 6” sanitary lateral stub located at the southwest
corner of the project parcel to convey sewage to an existing 8” main along West Avenue.
that continues south to the Saratoga County Sewer District #1 sewer and ultimately to
the Wastewater Treatment Plant located on NYS Route 4 in Mechanicville. The current
capacity of the wastewater treatment plant is approximately 43.4 million gallons per
day (MGD), with an average flow rate of approximately 26 MGD. Adequate capacity is
available since the proposed development is calculated to generate only 0.003 MGD.
The proposed development will require the installation of approximately 170LF of 6”
P.V.C. sewer. Building lateral connections will be accomplished through the use of a 6”
sewer lateral at a slope of 2% percent or greater. The proposed sanitary sewer system
will be constructed in accordance with the City of Saratoga Springs Department of
Public Works. SCSD#1
