To : City of Saratoga Springs Design Review Commission
In reference to 632 Broadway Application
From : Linda and Larry Ambrosino
1 North Circular Street.
Saratoga Springs, NY 12866
On June 16, 2023 we met with our neighbor and their consultants to go over our
concerns about their project. (632 Broadway Application)
In attendance :
Linda and Larry Ambrosino
Mike Ingersoll, Landscape Architect
Dan Tomson , project owner
Brett Balzer, Balzer & Tuck Architecture
Randy Kelly, Balzer & Tuck Architecture
Jim Sasko, Teakwood Building & Remodeling
The concerns that were discussed in detail.
A. Sound from placement of pool equipment.
B. Concern about added runoff toward us, caused by garage roof and pool deck
C. Blasting for pool construction
D. Outdoor lighting placement
E. Removal of row hedge along Ambrosino property line.
The result of the meeting was that Balzer & Tuck Architecture would come back to
the group with a rework of the site plan that answered all the above concerns as we
discussed .
Balzer & Tuck did not give a timeline for that work to be done or when it could be
presented back it to us.
We are asking the Design Review Commission to allow more time before you
make your decision so these concerns could be answered and agreed upon by both
neighbors in a timely manner. This would give everyone a clear plan that illustrates
the final intent and would help to guarantee that what is intended is what was
mutually agreed to.
In the event that more time is not granted we ask that the following condition be
made ; any approval be hinged on the plans being reviewed administratively by the
board chair and or another designated member.
Thank you
Linda and Larry Ambrosino
