Comments I've lived in Saratoga Springs my entire life; I recently have had
the opportunity to move onto Caroline St. I work in Saratoga
Springs, walk everywhere I go, and absolutely adore the City I
have called home for 23 years of my life. While I understand
that our City is growing, and with that comes increased
development, I strongly urge DRB to not support the moving-
forward of this project. The design of the building is NOT
unique to Saratoga Springs; you can find that building style
almost anywhere. I'm sure many of the local residents don't
want to see Saratoga Springs turn into just another tourist

unique and play into the historic and natural beauty this city has
to offer.
Additionally, besides in the summer, Caroline St is a quaint and
quiet little neighborhood where families walk their dogs and
babies, kids play, and residents enjoy the peace and quiet. We
do not need another multi-story building in the immediate urban
core district.
I urge members of the DRB to carefully review my comments,
as well as the comments of other residents, and consider the
impact this would have on the area. While the current
businesses may not be "historic" they have been there my
whole time I've lived here - and truly are staples to the Caroline
neighborhood. If a project like this were to happen, the design
of the building needs to match with what Saratoga Springs has
to offer. Please don't take away the uniqueness of our city.
Thank you.
