Project Name 20220202 31-33 Marion Area Variance - 31-33 Marion Project Number 20220202 Project Address 31-33 Marion Ave Comments At the September 26, 2022 ZBA meeting Stewart’s was directed by the City planning department staff to address the questions raised about Zoning Ordinance Sect 6.3.3 B-3 regarding the property line associated with the gas station under the current proposal. ********************************************************************* From the 9/26/2022 Minutes: Aneisha Samuels, Senior Planner, stated since the lots have just been consolidated staff would need a narrative explaining this. Ms. Coreno stated she will providing this to staff. ********************************************************************** However, in their letter to the ZBA dated December 2, 2022 Stewart’s completely fails to address the question about property lines associated with the gas station, at all. Rather, they make reference only to the placement of gas pumps, and incorrectly quote section 6.6.3, confounding ZO Sect 6.3.3-A with 6.3.3-B-3, which speaks to the property line associated with the gas station with respect to an abutting residential district. As a lot line different than the one that is currently associated with the existing gas station would make the project as 4/20/23, 9:41 AM Zimbra https://m.saratoga-springs.org/h/printmessage?id=12471&tz=America/New_York 3/3 proposed diallowed under the Zoning Ordinance, it is our belief that until such time that this question is resolved, no further action by the ZBA on the merits of any area variance request should be considered. If and when Stewart's seeks to address the quesion about lot lines associated with a gas station, as it is defined in the zoning ordinance, the Maple Ave, Marion Ave, Maple Dell Neighborhood Association will be prepared to provide further commentary. We respectfully request the opportunity to do so at the approporiate time. Thank You, John Iacoponi VP Maple Ave, Marion Ave, Maple Dell Neighborhood Association Attach Photo (optional)Field not completed. Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.
