Land Use Board Planning Board Name Beth Godsil Email Address egodsil@hotmail.com Business Name Address 14 LARKSPUR DRIVE City SARATOGA SPRINGS State NY Zip Code 12866 Phone Number 6158189872 Project Name Duplainville Site Plan Project Number 20230008 Project Address Field not completed. 4/27/23, 3:20 PM Zimbra https://m.saratoga-springs.org/h/printmessage?id=12879&tz=America/New_York 2/2 Comments My house is located at the corner of Adams Road and Larkspur Drive, which I have learned is in close proximity to the site being reviewed. My first question is why weren't we notified of this matter by mail or why the ONE posting related to this matter was not easily visible to the residents of the area (small sign posted .25 mile down Adams Rd from our home). I would think there would be strict rules related to notification of anyone living within close proximity to a project of this size. My second question is how will this impact the forestation and wildlife of the area. We see and enjoy a number of deer, foxes, rabbits, birds and other wildlife and would like to understand the impact to their habitats since the amount of green space in Saratoga is consistently diminishing. My third question is how this will impact truck traffic on Adams Rd. The number of trucks that pay no attention to the weight and size limits on Adams is alarming - especially in winter. My fourth question relates to property values for the homeowners near this site. We bought our home and live here because of the views, the forest-like feel and the calm community. My fifth question is why the project has received tax supported funding when myself, as a tax payer, do not want any of my tax dollars going towards funding it. The proposed use of this site needs to be questioned and these concerns need to be considered before any final decisions are made. Thank you for your time Attach Photo (optional)Field not completed.
