169 Union Ave. Carriage House
ZBA Application—Revisions
❑ URGENT Q FOR REVIEW ❑ PLEASE COMMENT ❑ PLEASE REPLY ❑AS REQUESTED
To the City of Saratoga Springs Zoning Board of Appeals:
Engineering America Co.Herein respectfully submits the following additional information and
application modifications as discussed at the 4/8/24 ZBA meeting for proposed development of
the Grossman property at#169 Union Ave.within a UR-4 district:
1) Building Width Reduction: The ZBA asked if the overall size of the carriage House
could be minimized to reduce the requested variance for lot coverage. The attached
modified plans depict a 12"reduction in the overall width of the carriage house.
- New proposed carriage house coverage= 930 sq.ft.vs. the 960 sq.ft.proposed in the
original application.
- New overall building coverage (main house+ carriage house) has now been reduced
to 3275.6 sq.ft(46.8%) vs. the 47.3%proposed in the original application.
- The 6.8%relief now being requested is a 17%variance vs. the 18.3%relief proposed
in the original application.
2) Increase in Building Coverage from Existing Conditions:
- The Existing House& Garage structures cover 2,883.2 sq.ft. and 41.2%of the lot
- The Existing House&proposed new(reduced size) carriage house will cover 3,275.6
sq.ft. and 46.8%of the lot
- An overall increase in building coverage of 5.6% (392 sq.ft.)
3) Difference in Permeability from Existing Conditions:
- The Existing house, existing garage,existing driveway& sidewalks currently cover
approx.4,015.4 sq.ft. of the lot,resulting in an impermeable area of 57.4% (42.6%
permeable area)
- The existing house,proposed (reduced size) carriage house,proposed driveway&
sidewalks are proposed to now cover approx. 3762.6 sq.ft. of the lot,resulting in an
impermeable area of 53.8% (46.2%permeable area).
- The overall permeability of the developed site will increase by 3.6%.This increased
green space will enhance both the on-site drainage and aesthetic of the home (and
community).
4) Carriage House Location: The ZBA requested the feasibility of moving the proposed
carriage house 12"to the South so as to reduce the necessity for the frontage variance
along Morton Lane:
- The attached revised plot plan depicts the carriage house to be shifted 12"to the
South as requested.
- The 10%front setback variance from Morton Lane is no longer requested.
- Shifting the proposed building reduces the overall number of variances being
requested from 4 to 3.
5) Photos of similar project building: Photos will be forthcoming.
6) Comparison of similar lot coverage statistics within neighborhood:This
information will be forthcoming.
In summary,the revisions herein attached reduce the variances being requested:
- Number of variances being requested 3 vs.4 originally proposed
- Building Coverage variance being requested reduced from 18.3%to 17%.
Please feel free to contact the EACo.&Y Engineering office with any questions about the
information submitted. Thank you for your time&consideration.
