APPLICATION FEE (NON-REFUNDABLE): Make checks payable to the "Commissioner of Finance". 2023 Sidewalk Cafe and Outdoor Dining Fee - $150 City of Saratoga Springs Design Guidelines for Temporary Outdoor Dining LOCATION: Outdoor dining space should not obscure, damage or destroy the features of the building or the streetscape. Outdoor dining design elements should stand independently of the building facade. In the event that design elements cannot stand independently, any attachments to the facade should be made in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the building facade would not be irreparably damaged. MATERIALS: In designing outdoor space, the use of artificial materials, such as plastic and vinyl, are to be avoided at all costs. Natural materials, namely metal or wood are to be used instead. The materials and details should be similar to, or complement, the building itself. DEMARCATION: 1. Railings - If used for demarcation, railings should be made of metal (or natural wood) and should complement the building. 2. Sectional Fencing - Fabric Inserts, if used, should be framed out. Post and Stanchions may be used for demarcation. Solid sheet fencing is prohibited. 3. Planters - Potted plants and/or planters are encouraged. SCREENING: Potted plants and/or planters are encouraged. A green wall (lattice with plants growing through it), if used, should incorporate live plants. A square lattice pattern is preferred over a diagonal pattern. Plastic or artificial plantings and flowers are not acceptable. SKIRTING/LATTICE: In the event that an elevated platform or deck is necessary, it would require skirting to screen the space beneath the structure. If lattice is used for skirting it should be placed in a frame. A square lattice pattern is preferred over a diagonal pattern. The use of natural materials for lattice or skirting boards (wood) is encouraged. Vinyl and plastic are not acceptable and not in keeping with the City's historic district design standards. FLOOR SURFACES/ FOOTING: Resurfacing is discouraged. Existing surfaces - pavement or grass - should be maintained and incorporated into your space. If resurfacing is unavoidable, new surfaces should be made of natural materials. Under no circumstances will surfaces be constructed of carpeting, artificial turf, vinyl or plastic. TABLES AND CHAIRS: Tables and chairs must be constructed of durable materials and properly maintained. Metal is the preferred material and small tables are encouraged as they provide more layout flexibility. Plastic tables and picnic tables are not acceptable and not in keeping with the City's historic design standards. UMBRELLAS: Umbrellas should be solid in color. Umbrellas must not contain ordisplay any advertising except forthe name and/or logo of the business. Umbrella color and design shall coordinate with the design of the building or business and be compatible with, the sidewalk cafe furniture. BARRIERS: The cement barriers placed by the City are not to be decorated with paint other than brick red [e.g. Pantone 48C373E, RGB (140, 55, 62)] with grey/white lines simulating mortar and a traditional brick pattern. KEY POINTS: Natural materials (metal/wood) should always be used in the City's Historic Districts. Plastic, vinyl, artificial plantings and artificial floor surfaces are not acceptable.
