Part 1 — Project and Sponsor Information Name of Action or Project: Beekman Atelier Project Location (describe, and attach a location map): 103 Beekman Street - Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 Brief Description of Proposed Action: I would like to expand the Beekman Street Arts District by one block -- from Grand Avenue to Washington Street -- so that the Arts District includes my house at 103 Beekman Street. My house is the only house with a Beekman street address between Grand Avenue and Washington Street. The reason for this request is that I would like to use my house as a sewing and design studio open to the public. This change would not restrict residential use, but simply allow me to have an arts -related business and educational space, where I would teach sewing and fashion design to students. Because the Beekman Street Arts District is a thriving artistic community, I would like my sewing studio and design shop to be included. There is a huge hunger among local students -- as well as adults -- to learn the technical skills behind dress -making and fashion design. 103 Beekman Street would be the perfect place to teach such skills. My desired business and educational space would fit well within the arts community.
