Dear John Cannie:
Thank you for requesting the comments of the Division for Historic Preservation of the Office of
Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) as part of your SEQRA process. These
comments are those of OPRHP and relate only to Historic/Cultural resources. They do not
include potential environmental impacts to New York State Parkland that may be involved in or
near your project.
We note that the proposed project is substantially adjacent to the State and National Register
listed Broadway Historic District. The two buildings on the subject building lot are not State and
National Register eligible or listed. We have reviewed the SEQRA documentation, site plan,
drawings, and renderings for the proposed new residential/ commercial building.
Based on this review, we believe that the design of the proposed new construction is generally
appropriate and will not cause harm, physically or visually, to historic character defining features
of the surrounding historic buildings and district. In addition, there are no archaeological
concerns associated with this project.
If this project will involve state or federal permitting, funding or licensing, it may require
continued review for potential impacts to architectural and archaeological resources, in
accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act or Section 14.09 of NYS
Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation Law.
If you have any questions, I can be reached via email or at (518) 268-2164.
Sincerely,
Weston Davey
Historic Site Restoration Coordinator
