69 Phila New Detached Garage
69 Phila Street
Saratoga Springs, New York 12866
involving a proposed new detached garage within the Urban Residential-4 District, tax parcel #165.68-1-67, within
the City of Saratoga Springs.
Following discussion on this matter on June 7, 2023, the Commission issues the following opinion:
Favorable Opinion
Considerations:
1. The proposed location of the structure is appropriate.
2. The roof eaves are appropriate as designed. There would be an adverse impact to both the aesthetics and
functionality to decrease the eaves, and there may be a benefit to extending the eaves further.
3. The Design Review Board is recommending the elimination of the man door on the front façade in order
to meet compliance with historic standards.
4. The hip roof as presented is not an inappropriate design, A flat roof would not be a preferred design.
