IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL OF
Saratoga Longshots d/b/a The Trackside Grill
18 Division Street, Suite 306
Saratoga Springs,NY 12866
from the determination of the Building Inspector involving the premises at 103 Wright Street in the City
of Saratoga Springs, New York being tax parcel number 179.21-3-4, in the UR-1 district on the
Assessment Map of said City.
This being an application for the modification of an existing use variance under the Zoning Ordinance of
said City to permit the playing of live and prerecorded music at a restaurant, and public notice having been
duly given of a hearing on said application held on July 8, 2024.
On June 12, 1946, the owners of the premises at 103 Wright Street were granted a use variance to permit
the operation of a restaurant. However, that variance did not expressly permit the playing of live or
prerecorded music as other restaurants are permitted to do,negatively impacting the restaurant's ability to
entertain its customers and compete with other like establishments. Therefore, in consideration of the
hardship on the applicant due to not having the same opportunity as similar establishments I move that
the existing use variance granted on June 12, 1946 be modified to permit the playing of live and
prerecorded music at the premises at 103 Wright Street under the condition that music live and prerecorded
music should not be played later than IOpm. The Board also notes the applicant has employed several
sound mitigation measures such as the increased fence height with the noise mitigating blankets.
It is so moved, dated: July 8, 2024
Passes by the following votes:
AYES: 6 (B. Gallagher, S. Gaston, O. Maxwell, C. LaPointe, J. Cohen, B. Dailey)
