Schedule A v7 07.01.24
Application Narrative
The Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional PUD
July 5, 2024
The Saratoga Hospital petitions the City Council for approval of this PUD
Amendment to the Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional PUD (“PUD”) adopted
by the Saratoga Springs City Council on September 8, 1987 and amended on April
19, 1993; January 21, 1997; October 21, 2003; April 7, 2009; March 1, 2011; and
March 25, 2013. The PUD is the zoning document that regulates the development
of the 28.69 acre parcel on both the east and west sides of Myrtle Street with the
main hospital building fronting on Church Street.
Over the past ten years the Hospital has identified the pressing need for
additional medical offices on its campus. This application is intended to respond
to that need beginning with the demolition of the existing 10,200 sf medical office
building (“MOB”) in Zone B – shown in the attached photographs – that was
formerly occupied by the specialized medical practices for OB/GYN and
pulmonary care. Thereafter, the Hospital proposes to construct a new MOB with a
maximum building height of 50 feet1. The structure will include a maximum of
60,000 sf of medical office space inclusive of common areas, hallways, utility
rooms, lavatories, reception areas, and such other support spaces and systems
customarily associated with medical office buildings. The building will
incorporate medical offices and services designed to support a Center for
Successful Aging (“CSA Building”) wherein patients can receive medical care
from various specialties focused on the aging population. Those specialties may
include some or all of the following: primary care physicians, specialists, care
coordinators, social workers, pharmacists, and dietitians , among others. The
Hospital seeks this PUD amendment to provide the underlying zoning changes
needed for the construction of the CSA Building.
The Hospital desires to maintain the overall density maximums within the
PUD by transferring a portion of the remaining development capacity in Zone A
(the main Hospital Building) to Zone B. More specifically, the Hospital’s plan is
to increase the building square footage capacity in Zone B from the current 31,200
sf to 60,000 sf, an increase sufficient to accommodate the CSA Building.
1 Building height measured pursuant to UDO Section 21.4(D).
2
Schedule A v7 07.01.24
Correspondingly, the Hospital proposes to reduce the surplus capacity in Zone A
by 28,800 sf in order to achieve a net zero impact on capacity for the entire
campus. Further, to accommodate the full 60,000 sf of medical space within the
proposed CSA building, this amendment seeks to extend the maximum building
height from the current 40 feet to the proposed 50 feet.
In addition to the foregoing, this amendment also seeks the following
modifications:
1. Incorporate UDO: Since the adoption of the most recent PUD
amendment on March 25, 2013, the City Council adopted the
Unified Development Ordinance which became effective on
July 15, 2022, replacing the previous Zoning Ordinance of the
City of Saratoga Springs. The UDO explicitly maintains the
previously adopted PUDs, including the Saratoga Hospital
PUD. In addition, references to the previous Zoning Ordinance
have been replaced, where appropriate, with references to the
UDO.
2. Remove expiration date of site plans: From Article “IX. Projects”
the Hospital proposes to remove the language Planned Unit
Development zoning approval for the project shall expire for all
uncompleted projects if site plan approval is not obtained from the
City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board by January 1, 2024 . This
artificial limitation on site plan approvals does not appear to serve any
zoning or planning objective and, as such, the Hospital proposes to
remove the paragraph as an alternative to continually extending the
date through unnecessary PUD amendments.
3. Permit “daycare” and other uses customary to hospitals:
The amendment also seeks to expand the permitted uses by
allowing “daycare” throughout the campus along with “such
other and further usual and customary uses of hospitals,”
(Article VI (A) – Zone A). Daycare facilities within the
campus are very important to the Hospital staff and the absence
of such facilities puts an unnecessary strain on the staff. The
latter provision addresses the ever-changing approaches to
diagnostics and treatment within the medical community. The
3
Schedule A v7 07.01.24
language is intended to allow the Hospital to be both adaptive
and agile as the delivery of medical services continues to
advance and evolve.
4. Amend Zone B Parking: Parking within Zone B – the Zone in
which the CSA will be built – will maintain the ratio of 1 space/300
feet, but it will require only 75% of the parking spaces to be located
within Zone B while the remaining 25% of parking spaces will be
available throughout the campus in existing parking lots.
5. Prepare Zone B site for CSA Building: Zone B regulations
will be amended to provide for the demolition of the 10,200 sf
vacant building currently on the site, removal of the zoning
authority within the PUD that would permit the second 31,800
sf B-2 building, and affirmatively provide the zoning authority
– following site plan approval – for the construction of the CSA
Building to a maximum of 60,000 sf and a maximum building
height of 50 ft.
6. Signage: Article XV has been changed to reflect the current Albany
Med. Health System/Saratoga Hospital brand guidelines in the
appropriate fonts and colors, which will be coordinated by the
Saratoga Hospital marketing and communications team in
collaboration with the system team.”
7. Structured parking: The future demand for parking on the Hospital
campus will increase during the ramp up of the CSA medical
practices. At a point following full occupancy of the CSA Building,
the Hospital contemplates the need for additional parking on the
campus. To that end, the Hospital seeks zoning approval in this PUD
Amendment Application to build structured parking within Zone E.
8. Miscellaneous and technical changes: Where possible, the
amendment attempts to reconcile language throughout the PUD in an
effort to simplify and clarify various provisions. These changes are
called out in the redline version of the PUD.

SEQRA
History and Treatment
Consistent with the application requirements of the City of Saratoga Springs
Petitions for Zoning Amendments and in compliance with the applicable
provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance and the State Environmental
Quality Review Act, the applicant submits herewith an executed FEAF for review
by the lead agent.
As reflected in the Application Narrative, the Saratoga Hospital
Medical/Professional PUD (“PUD”) was adopted by the Saratoga Springs City
Council on September 8, 1987 and amended on April 19, 1993; January 21, 1997;
October 21, 2003; April 7, 2009; March 1, 2011; and March 25, 2013. With each
PUD amendment, the City Council – as lead agent – undertook the SEQRA review.
By way of example, we provide the history of the last four SEQRA resolutions
beginning in 2003.1
On October 21, 2003, Commissioner Stephen Towne moved and
Commissioner Thomas Curley seconded that the Council (i) established itself as
the lead agent for the SEQRA environmental review because no other involved
agencies have challenged this request, (ii) declare that Part II of the SEQRA Long
Environmental Assessment Form has been reviewed and is deemed accurate and
complete and (iii) issue a negative declaration of environmental significance
because the analysis of the information provided and presented i n Part II of the
Environmental Assessment Form demonstrates that these amendments will not
result in any large and important impacts and, therefore, is one that will not have a
significant impact on the environment, and (iv) adopt the proposed amendments in
the PUD as presented. All five members of the Council voted in the affirmative.
On April 7, 2009, Commissioner Franck moved and Commissioner
Scirocco seconded to declare a negative declaration under SEQRA for the Saratoga
Hospital PUD Amendment. The Council reviewed each of the 20 questions on Part
II of the SEQRA form and answered each of those 20 questions in the negative .
The Council then adopted the resolution by unanimous vote.
1 Minutes of the approval resolutions in 2003, 2009, 2011 and 2013 are attached hereto.
On March 1, 2011, Commissioner Franck introduced the zoning amendment
to the Council describing the proposed action with the Saratoga Golf and Polo
Club, then proceed through each of the questions set forth on the SEQRA form in
advance of a motion by Commissioner Franck, seconded by Commissioner Ivins to
issue a SEQRA negative declaration. The motion was adopted unanimously by the
Council.
On October 1, 2013, Mayor Johnson introduced the proposed Saratoga
Hospital PUD Amendment and proceeded through the individual questions set
forth on the SEQRA form. At the conclusion of that review by the Council, Mayor
Johnson moved, and Commissioner Franck seconded, the motion to issue a
SEQRA negative declaration. That motion was adopted unanimously.
Consistent with the process undertaken the City Council for the last four
PUD Amendment Applications, The Saratoga Hospital has submitted a project
narrative and a Full Environmental Assessment Form for review and analysis by
the City Council.
The Council’s 37-year history with the review of The Saratoga Hospital
PUD and the six amendments thereto have provided the Council with substantial
background and familiarity with the campus as it has expanded over the years.
With each amendment to the PUD, the Council – serving as lead agent – has
undertaken the environmental review of those aspects of each project that are new
and different from the environmental impacts evaluated by the Council during
previous applications. Continuing in this format, the Hospital urges the City
Council to again perform all of the functions as lead agent in order that it fully and
properly assess the impacts associated with the development of the Center for
Successful Aging and the other smaller changes to the PUD in order that it take a
hard look and make a reasoned elaboration of the significance of those impacts.
The Hospital looks forward to providing the City Council with all of the
information reasonably required by the Council to perform its function fully,
thoroughly and with reasonable diligence.

SARATOGA HOSPITAL PUD B PUBLIC HEARING
Mayor Kenneth Klotz said this was a public hearing on a petition submitted by the Saratoga Hospital to amend
the Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional PUD at 211 Church Street.He said the required advisory opinion
from the City Planning Board was on file.He noted that the Planning Board made a number of revisions to the
original proposal and they have issued a favorable advisory opinion on those revisions.He said on October
14,2003,the petitioner submitted a set of minor amendments that deleted any reference to a new heliport on
the roof of the main hospital building and those amendments have been incorporated in the final draft
ordinance that was distributed to the Council yesterday by the City Attorney.He said the required proof of
notice to nearby by property owners has been submitted.
Appearing before the Council was Matthew Jones &Stephanie Feradino,attorneys,representing the applicant;
Steve Everest;John Dawes,CT Male;Ken Wurston,Creighton Manning;and Steve Frenchak,Saratoga
Hospital.Matthew Jones showed a power point presentation of this project.He reminded Council members
that in July,he appeared before the Council with an overview of the project.He explained that areas B,C,D,
&E are the parking lot and area A being the hospital.He said that the focus of tonight=s presentation was
Zone A.He said there are two proposed major undertakings in Zone A,the radiation unit and patient care
addition to the northwest corner.He said,though,that there had been some minor changes to Zones B,C,D
& E. He said those changes include additional parking and a five percent change in building space.
Matthew Jones said the project originally proposed in July is different from what was before the Council this
evening.He explained that the applicant now proposes the possibility of doubling the size of the radiation
therapy center from 9,000 to 18,000 square feet by adding a second floor.He said another change to this
proposal was the traffic flow.He said they are now proposing to widen Corey Lane from 15 feet to 40 feet and
along Medical Arts Lane they will donate some land to the City to correct the traffic flow concerns in that area.
He said there will also be some allowances for Dr.Byrne=s parcel.He explained that some of Dr.Byrne=s
parking is in the public right of way and they will be sure that Dr.Byrne is not disadvantaged in any way
through this project.Matthew Jones said if this project is approved this evening,they will return to the Planning
Board on November 5,the Design Review Commission on November 6 and then onto the Department of
Health on November 20.
Matthew Jones said the second part of this proposal was the patient care addition on the northwest corner.He
said originally the building was a rectangular building,but since meeting with the neighbors,the Planning
Board and the City=s Real Estate Committee,the shape of the building has been changed to square and is

now 80 feet from the northerly boundary line and 10 feet from Myrtle Street.He said they have not yet
developed the design of the building.He noted that the ambulance entrance will be located on Myrtle Street
and they have also agreed to maintain the mature vegetation between the hospital and the neighbors.He said
they will also do many other things to minimize the noise,lighting and other negative environmental impacts to
the neighbors in this area.
Matthew Jones summarized the changes noting that the parking along the boundary line near the Golf &Polo
Club had been removed and more parking for staff has been added,Corey Lane will be widened,Medical Arts
Lane pavement will be corrected,Byrne=s needs will be met and they will work with DPW to run a storm
drainage system to connect to a manhole in Woodland Court.He said if all goes well,they planned to start the
site work in December and they hoped to have the radiation therapy center operating by spring.
Matthew Jones said they have also removed the heliport site from the top of the patient care addition,
therefore,that was not an item for discussion this evening.He said that the addition of the heliport will require
further study.
Matthew Jones said the addition of the patient care addition is sorely needed.He said the Emergency
Department can comfortably accommodate 22,000 patients per year,but they exceed 30,000.He said this will
also allow for the expansion of the ICU and allows for three floors of new patient rooms.He said through this
expansion, the hospital would be able to meet the needs of the community.
Mayor Kenneth Klotz asked about the timetable for this addition.Matthew Jones said it would be between one
and two years before site plan review took place.He said,though,that as the demand for beds and
emergency services increases,the timetable will continue to move up.Mayor Kenneth Klotz clarified that the
radiation therapy center and the patient care addition were independent of one another.Matthew Jones said
yes. He said they both need separate approvals from the Department of Health.
Mayor Kenneth Klotz opened the public hearing.
Kathleen Hamill,Vice President &Chief Nurse,said she oversees patient care on a day to day basis.She said
because of the growth on patient population,they have had to hold patients in waiting rooms and postpone
elective surgeries.She said this is a very important project that will add more beds and also provides for more
privacy for patients.She also noted that the radiation therapy center will also assist patients so that they do
not have to travel 45 minutes for treatment.
Dr.Timothy Brooks,Emergency Room director,said he has been in this community for more than 16 years.
He said when he first arrived at the Emergency Department staff saw about 24,000 patients each year,but that
number has now increased to about 34,000.He said the hospital has only 16 spots available in the
Emergency Department for patients,therefore,although it was unfortunate,the hallway is often used to
accommodate patients.He said they are hindered by the physical plant and the additional space will allow for
privacy and also allows for different options for patients.He said the radiation therapy center is also needed so
that patients do not need to travel so far for treatment.
Cynthia Giordano,Myrtle Street &Woodland Court,said while she supported this application there are impacts
to the value of their homes. She said drainage is difficult in this area and it needed to be addressed in detail.
Sal Ferlazzo,attorney representing the neighbors,said he had been working with City staff and the applicants=
attorneys on this matter.He said the neighbors were glad to see that the heliport had been removed from this
proposal.He said the neighbors are not opposed to this proposal,but wanted to be sure that it went through
the proper SEQR process.He said they were concerned that the SEQR process had not been followed.Sal
Ferlazzo explained that under this zoning,this was a type one action which presumes that an EIS is required.
He said there are significant impacts to the neighbors.He said if the SEQR standards are reduced for this
project,the Council would need to follow suit on other projects.He pointed out that this is a five-story building
and it impacts the neighbors.He said the impacts include,traffic,noise,property values and drainage and
quality of life.He said there have been no studies on the visual impact,drainage or traffic.He said they were

also concerned with hazardous materials.He said they were also very concerned that there was some
segmentation and that the hospital will bring back the heliport.He then quoted from previous case law on
segmentation findings.Sal Ferlazzo said the Council should be going through the environmental process and
encouraged the Council to do so.
Lew Benton,Planning Board Chair,said the Planning Board worked with all interested parties and crafted
changes to the proposal to accommodate the concerns.He said the only change to the proposal since the
Planning Board forwarded their favorable advisory opinion was the removal of the heliport.He said one of the
more important recommendations of the Planning Board was the establishment of a capital reserve fund that
would be used for traffic mitigation.He said they encouraged the Council to channel any fees that the hospital
might incur under future applications to be used for traffic related issues.He reminded Council members that
at every phase of this project there will be review by the Planning Board and in some cases the Design Review
Commission as well.He said the Planning Board has the authority to halt subsequent phases if adequate
infrastructure is not in place.He said at each phase of the project there will be negotiation.He noted that the
Planning Board had the foot print of the patient care addition reconfigured to accommodate neighbors
concerns.
Lew Benton said that while the Planning Board is an involved agency,it is the Council is the lead agency on
this project.He reminded Council members that the Planning Board recently dealt with the segmentation
matter on another project and the case was dismissed.He said a Type I SEQR does not compel a DEIS.He
said that what is required is that the applicant complete part one the Council make a determination under part
two and the impact and mitigation are identified under part three,if necessary.He said the Planning Board
was comfortable that the process had been adhered to.He said the City Council has not violated any SEQR
procedures because the Council has not taken any action on this application.
Deane Pfeil,340 Broadway,member of the Saratoga Care Foundation Board,said the hospital adds to the
community.She said it was especially nice that residents do not need to travel 45 minutes to get to an
emergency room.She said many of the physicians are board certified and they contribute to the health of the
community through their excellent medical services provides.She also noted that the hospital is one of the
largest employers in the area.She too agreed that the Emergency Department is seeing more patients each
year.She said the outpatient services for 2002 were at 188,000 and the hospital is now constructing an
ambulatory surgery center in Wilton to assist them in that area.She said they operate close to capacity nearly
every day. She urged the Council to approve this application.
Joanne Avella,Seward Street,said she supported this application and noted that she was a former hospital
board member.She said though that she was concerned with the widening of Corey Lane and the impact it
would have on her neighborhood.She said Seward Street already has a lot of traffic and this would only
increase that amount.She said she supported the project but hoped the Council would consider the impact to
the surrounding neighbors.
Anna Alpern,14 Woodland Court,said she was concerned about the traffic in this area.She said she was also
concerned that the heliport proposal would be brought back sooner rather than later.She said the hospital
should agree to the neighbors request that it not be brought back for at least five years.
Wayne Harrision,8 Medial Arts Lane,said Medical Arts Lane should remain a City street.He said they need to
have access for postal services, plowing, etc.
Alice Smith,Woodland Court,said while the hospital expansion is needed,it should be studied carefully.She
said she was concerned about the details of the project such as the drainage and traffic.She said she did not
believe enough study had been done in those areas.
Doug Dockendorf,48 Myrtle Street,agreed there are a lot of issues that have not yet been addressed.He said
the neighbors should be made to feel comfortable with the project.He said he supported the project,but
wanted to see studies completed.

Saratoga Hospital PUD (03-165)
Commissioner Stephen Towne asked Jeff Wait,City Attorney,to respond to some of the issues raised by the
neighbors=attorney.Jeff Wait said he had not heard all of the comments because of his late arrival,therefore,
it was not appropriate for him to respond.He said he did hear Lew Benton=s remarks and spoke to Geoff
Bornemann,City Planner,and it was their opinion that the requirements which trigger a DEIS were not
sufficient and he concurred.
Geoff Bornemann clarified that this is not a Type I action because it is 25 acres but because it is adjacent to
the historic district.He also noted that a negative SEQR determination has previously been issued by the
Council.He said the negative SEQR was issued with an environmental process and not a DEIS.He further
explained that the Council must first establish the lead agency and then that will allow the Council to evaluate
the environmental assessment work included in the Council=s packet.He said it was the Council=s choice,
however,he did not believe that there was anything in the application that was so large that it could not be
mitigated.He said if the Council chooses to require a DEIS,the document must be modified because those
factors had not been listed.He said just because it is a Type I process does not automatically mean that it
needs to go to a DEIS.He said there has been some visual and traffic analysis and those documents exist as
part of the record for this project.
Commissioner Michael Lenz asked if Council action tonight would violate the SEQR process.Geoff
Bornemann said it was up to the Council to determine if the packet was complete.
Commissioner Stephen Towne said that pursuant to the Council=s request of July 16,the City Planning Board
reviewed the proposed zoning amendments to the Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional Planned Unit
Development District.He said the Planning Board reviewed the proposal at their July 23,September 10 and
September 17 meetings and as a result of that process they have revised the text and map of the proposed
amendments.Those meetings produced several changes to the PUD ordinance as follows:a)several
amendments were designed and intended to reduce negative sensory and physical impact on Woodland Court
and encourages a more urban design of the patient care addition;b)the changes also recognize potential traffic
generating characteristics of several of the improvements to be made and suggested a strategy for advancing
traffic improvements.He said these changes include the establishment of a capital reserve fund to be used
exclusively to finance necessary traffic improvements on the Church Street corridor.He said at the Planning
Board=s September 10 meeting they voted 7-0 to defer lead agency status for this project to the City Council.
He said at the Planning Board=s September 17 meeting they voted 7-0 to issue a favorable advisory opinion
on the revised proposed amendment for the following reasons:
1.The proposal meets the intent and objective of the PUD as expressed in Article 240-3.5:
a)It meets all the general requirements of Article 240-3.5
b)The proposal is conceptually sound in that it meets a community need and it conforms
to acceptable design principles in the proposed functional roadway system,land use
configuration,open space system,drainage system and scale of the elements,both
absolutely and to one another.
2.There are adequate services and utilities available or proposed to be made available in the
construction of the development.
Therefore,Commissioner Stephen Towne moved and Commissioner Thomas Curley seconded that the
Council:
1.Establish itself as the lead agent for the SEQR environmental review because no other
involved agencies have challenged this request;
2.Declare that Part II of the SEQR long environmental assessment form has been reviewed
and is deemed accurate and complete;
3.Issue a negative declaration of environmental significance because the analysis of the
information provided and presented in Part II of the environmental assessment form
City of Saratoga Springs City Council Meeting Minutes

demonstrates that these amendments will not result in any large and important impacts
and, therefore, is one that will not have a significant impact on the environment; and
4.Adopt the proposed amendments to the PUD as presented.
Mayor Kenneth Klotz said that clearly the hospital had made a great effort to work with the neighbors and a
number of those issues have been resolved.He said for further explanation though on the heliport issue.Matt
Jones said there had been some discussion that the hospital not bring this matter back before the Council for
five years from the time the building is completed.He said the applicant views this matter differently,though,
in that the heliport may never come to fruition.He said there is also the matter that approach to the heliport
from the southeast could be better.He said the applicant was willing to work with the neighbors on this time
frame.
Sal Ferlazzo said on behalf of the neighbors they were willing to compromise at four years.He said they were
looking for some comfort level.Matthew Jones said it would be good if the applicant could say that this matter
had been resolved and that the neighbors were content,but that was not the case.Sal Ferlazzo said he
reserves the right on behalf of the neighbors to look at their legal options on this matter.He said they were
comfortable with many of the other issues such as traffic and drainage and they wanted the same comfort level
for the heliport.
Commissioner Michael Lenz clarified that if the Council adopts this proposal this evening,the applicant would
return to the Planning Board for further review of such details.Matthew Jones agreed and further noted that
they would also appear before the Design Review Commission.
Commissioner Stephen Towne said that it was important to note that there is a public benefit to this project.
He urged a continued dialogue among all interested parties.He agreed that all of these details need to be
looked at under the site plan review process.
Mayor Kenneth Klotz asked Jeff Wait if a Type I action requires a full DEIS.Jeff Wait said it does not require a
full DEIS.Mayor Kenneth Klotz said the Council could determine that there are environmental impacts but
they could be mitigated in ways that do not require a full study.Jeff Wait agreed.Mayor Kenneth Klotz said
the Planning Board has recommended that the Council issue a negative SEQR.Jeff Wait said that approval of
the motion would be appropriate and he was comfortable with the Council proceeding in this matter.
Ayes all.
MAYOR =S OFFICE
Land Acquisition Consultant
Mayor Kenneth Klotz said this item appeared on his agenda two weeks ago and he withdrew it for further
review. He asked Jeff Olson to comment.
Jeff Olson explained that he had met with Commissioner Stephen Towne to address his concerns.He said
they have since reviewed the package and are now ready to proceed.He said he understood that there were
two other interested firms wishing an opportunity to review this proposal.He said he talked to both of those
firms today and asked them to give him a proposal with a fee structure but he did not receive anything.
Therefore,they are ready to proceed.He said there is some concern that if the committee does not take action
soon, these parcels may no longer be available. He said there was already one parcel that was under contract.
Mayor Kenneth Klotz moved and Commissioner Thomas McTygue seconded to accept the
recommendations of the Land Acquisition Committee for the hiring John Behan Associates as consultants
on this matter under the terms and conditions as presented .

Rich Straut advised the Geyser Crest Wellfield is a significant asset of the City’s drinking water system.
There have been some issues in the past year of so that they have been helping the City address.It is a
major part of the City’s supply source.The wellfield has 7 wells and is capable of pumping 187 million
gallons of water per day.Currently 4 wells are not capable of being used.This past November,the
Department of Health inspected the well site and noted several things that needed to be addressed.The
biggest issue being that 4 out of the 7 wells are incapable of being used;one of the well pumps has met
its lifespan.Three of the smaller wells can’t be used because the storage tank they are hooked to has
sprung a leak and had to be shut down.A significant part of the mechanical pumping systems are down
and need to be retrofitted.The disinfection of the water has been determined insufficient by the health
department.The water is disinfected by liquid chlorine;but what is missing is enough time where the
water is in contact with the liquid chlorine before it reaches the residents.The Department of Health has
given the City until December 1,2009 to correct that or all of the people who use the water supply will
have to be on a continuous boil water notice.Barton &Loguidice helped the City earlier this year to
secure a grant from NYSERDA to begin the engineering analysis on that.
The last upgrade was over 20 years ago.NYSERDA’s interest is these wells it to be more energy
efficient.The plan includes fixing the disinfection system;this will have to be a fast track fix to be done by
December 1st to prevent a boil water situation.The project cost is $770,000 for the upgrade;the City had
budget approximately $550,000 prior to the report being done.
Commissioner Franck asked what areas the wellfields cover.
Rich stated the water covers all of Geyser Crest;they use about 260,000 gallons per day.Another
400,000 gallons per day comes back into the City system.
Presentation – Saratoga Hospital PUD Amendment
Stephanie Ferradino of Jones Ferradino presented.In 2003 the Planned Development Unit (PUD)that
was made was significant.They added acreage to the campus to accommodate the radiation oncology
center and the emergency room.This amendment is less complex and the changes far fewer than in
2003.The current amendments are intended to add 2 properties to the PUD.One property at 238
Church Street is currently owned by the hospital.The second property is 35 Myrtle Street,which is
currently a doctor’s office;they will be using this parcel for parking.The property at 238 Church Street will
be used as a respite for the doctors who are on call.The hospital signage is not intended to change,so
they are looking for administrative review for a similar sign.
Commissioner Kim asked if there are standards of what will be referred for administrative review.
Stephanie advised there approvals that have already been granted.If the sign doesn’t fall within that
approval,the sign will have to go through the normal process,where you start at zoning and go through
design review. They are asking that the Council take action under SEQRA.
Commissioner Ivins asked what has been addressed regarding ground water by taking an existing
structure and turning it into more parking.
Stephanie advised they are increasing the pervious surfaces so that the amount of green space located
within that lot is increased. It is sufficient to handle the runoff.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
Mayor Johnson moved and Commissioner Scirocco seconded to move to executive session regarding

and our own zoning ordinance and City Charter were raised,discussed,and dismissed by the court.
There were 3 claims being made:declare the City Council approval of the project violated the City
Charter and the state finance law because the project was not included in the City’s 6 year capital
program for 2009,violated city ordinance because the City initially bypassed the Zoning Board of Appeals
and did not apply for area variances from that board,and the City violated SEQRA both procedurally and
substantively in that such violations mandated the City Council made previously of a negative declaration
meaning it had no adverse environmental impact to the chosen site and seeking the forcing of the City to
go back a do a ‘proper’SEQRA review of the project.The court dismissed them as being without merit.
The court also commented that the alienation issue –the building of the indoor recreation center on this
land would constitute alienation of park land that wasn’t previously approved by the state department with
jurisdiction in that matter –the court found there was no alienation on this project in this capacity.The
court also found in favor of the City regarding the deed restrictions on this land which states in the event
the land was not used as a playground or for recreational purposes,it could possibly revert or go back to
the ownership of the school district if the City violated the use of land.The court found that the deed
restriction was not being violated for the proposed use by the City.These are all relevant findings by the
court.This was a complete validation and vindication of the City’s position on this project on these issues.
He is pleased to report to the community the City was upheld across the board on these issues.
The Department of Labor stop bid order is still in effect.We are in negotiations hour by hour.He is
hopeful they may have the final determination by tomorrow.

amendment because it affected the helipad.

we do not proceed to Part 3. The City Council of the City of Saratoga Springs has reviewed and analyzed

Discussion and Vote: Support of New York State Records Management Program (09-80)
Commissioner Franck moved and Commissioner Ivins seconded to accept the resolution as read.
Commissioner Franck advised the Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund was
established in 1989 to fund grants to local governments for the management of their records and to fund
the provision of related advisory services through nine regional record management offices across the
State.
The City has benefited immensely from the program;we have received $425,000 in grants to fund many
projects including inventories,record storage improvements,microfilming,e-government initiatives,map
scanning,record surveys and Novus Agenda.I urge the Council to please support the following resolution
to officially demonstrate our continuing support of this prolific and effective program:
Resolution of Support for Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund (LGRMIF)
Whereas , the New York State Archives and Records Administration’s Cultural Education Account and the Local Government
Records Management Improvement Fund is primarily supported by fees charged by County Clerks for index numbers of pending
Supreme and County Court actions; and
Whereas , the Cultural Education Account Funds most of the operations of the State Museum Library and Archives; and
Whereas , the Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund (LGRMIF) has been providing technical assistance and
grants to establish, improve or enhance records management programs in New York’s 4400 local governments since its creation in
1989; and
Whereas , the LGRMIF has supported the preservation of over 3 million essential documents throughout New York State, ensuring
their continued availability to the public including students, teachers, genealogists, and other researchers, through education and the
awarding of over $176 million in records management improvement grants to local governments; and
Whereas , since 1989, State Archives staff have conducted 20,000 site visits to local governments to provide hands-on records
management guidance and have trained over 10,300 local government officials to manage both paper and electronic records
through 130 onsite workshops and webinars offered annually to local governments at no cost to the taxpayers; and
Whereas , the City of Saratoga Springs has benefited from technical assistance, training, publications and has received 22 grants
totaling $424,923from the LGRMIF to improve and increase access and availability of records and information to the public; and
Whereas , the City’s records management program continues to be a viable and intrinsic liaison between municipal leadership and
the public in striving toward the City’s goal of transparency in government; and
Whereas , the LGRMIF fee has never been increased since its inception in 1989,
Now therefore be it resolved that the City Council of the City of Saratoga Springs supports Assembly Bill A.6783 and Senate Bill
S.3460, which propose increases in the fees supporting the Cultural Education Account from $15.00 to $22.50 and the Local

CHAPTER 241.3
AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
TO BE KNOWN AS
“SARATOGA HOSPITAL MEDICAL/PROFESSIONAL PUD”
BE IT ORDAINED, by the City Council of the City of Saratoga Springs, New York,
following a public hearing, as follows:
I. NAME
This Ordinance shall be known as SARATOGA HOSPITAL MEDICAL/
PROFESSIONAL PUD and amends the Unified Development Ordinance (formerly
Chapter 241.3 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Saratoga Springs, New York).
II. AMENDMENT
The City Council of the City of Saratoga Springs, on September 8, 1987, adopted the
ordinance creating The Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional Planned Unit Development
District. That Planned Unit Development legislation was amended by the Saratoga Springs City
Council on April 19, 1993, on January 21, 1997, on October 21, 2003, on April 7, 2009, on
March 1, 2011, and on October 1, 2013. The purpose of this legislation is to further amend the
uses of the original Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional Planned Unit Development District
legislation, so as to meet the needs of the institution and the community it serves.
This Ordinance amends the City of Saratoga Springs Zoning Map by rezoning the
properties described in Appendix “A” and shown on a map attached hereto and made a part
hereof and entitled Sketch Plan for Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional PUD, prepared
by C.T. Male and dated May 23, 2003, revised January 26, 2009, October 27, 2009, January
10, 2011, March 25, 2013 and ______ from their current zoning designation of “Office/Medical
Business District” to “Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional Planned Unit Development
District.”
This Ordinance also amends the Unified Development Ordinance (formerly Chapter 241.3
of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Saratoga Springs, New York) by identifying certain uses
which may be established within the amended boundary of the Saratoga Hospital
Medical/Professional PUD and describing the review processes necessary to establish said uses.
III. BOUNDARY
The total area of the Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional PUD, as amended by this
ordinance, will consist of 28. 69 ± acres as bounded and described in Appendix “B” attached
hereto and made a part hereof. The area is located on the westerly side of the City of Saratoga
Springs, north of Church Street, generally east of West Avenue, west of Seward Street, and
2
S/2024 Morgan St/PUD Legislation clean v 10 10.1.13 Update 2024 Clean Copy
generally south of Morgan Street. The tax map references are as follows:
1. Map 165, Block 1, Lot 44
2. Map 165, Block 3, Lot 35
3. Map 165.41, Block 1, Lot 28
The Saratoga Hospital has consolidated its lots identified in the 2011 Ordinance and in
Appendix “A” to create fewer individual tax parcels for the lots owned by Saratoga Hospital and
contained in this Planned Unit Development. The above tax parcels reflect the campus as it was
configured in the 2013 Ordinance.
If the planned unit development zoning approval for this site expires or is abandoned, or
the PUD boundary is otherwise altered, the City Council shall establish the zoning district that will
be assigned to any such impacted parcel at that time
IV. SKETCH PLAN
The Saratoga Hospital Medical/Professional PUD shall be developed in general
compliance with a sketch plan filed in the Offices of the Planning Board of the City of Saratoga
Springs, New York, and attached hereto and made a part hereof as Appendix “C”. The plan
shall be used by the City and the Hospital as a guide for overall development. The sketch plan
may be changed, altered or amended, pursuant to Section 13.16 et seq. of the Saratoga Springs
Unified Development Ordinance.
V. PURPOSE
It is the purpose of this Ordinance to provide a means for the development of the Planned
Unit Development, as amended by this ordinance, in which certain economics of scale or creative
planning concepts may be utilized by the developer without departing from the spirit and intent of
the Unified Development Ordinance of the City of Saratoga Springs. It is further the purpose of
this Ordinance to promote flexibility in the development and design of Saratoga Hospital
Medical/Professional PUD that will result in the more efficient use of land, promote good site
design and visual quality, and result in a more pleasing environment than otherwise possible to
the maximum extent practicable.
VI. USES AND CHARACTERISTICS
