Re: SCPB Referral Review#24-A-49-Subdivision Review-25 New Street
A proposed redevelopment of the 5.18-acre lot into a subdivision with 18 residential lots (36 units) , one
open space lot, and a maintenance garage parcel. Each lot will be serviced by a proposed dedicated city
road. A parcel also owned by the applicant will provide an open space buffer.
Location: New Street (NYS Rt 50)
Tax Map#: 178.-4-25
Zoning: Urban Residential-3 (UR-3)
Received from the City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board on September 9, 2024.
Reviewed by the Saratoga County Planning Board on October 17, 2024.
Decision: Request Additional Information.
Comments:The Saratoga County Planning Board questioned the proposed city road that provides a
single access from New Street to the proposed residential development.The Board's concern was
focused on emergency access to the proposed 36 units of housing and whether or not a secondary
means of access will be provided at the terminal end of the proposed city road.
The Board was also questioning the adequacy of the proposed road regarding other services to be
provided such as household waste removal and/or snow removal with possible conflicts with the
provided on-street parking. The Board requests a review and comment to take place with local
emergency services regarding the proposed development along with illustration of firetruck access and
turning movements within the development to show accessibility of emergency vehicles will not be an
issue.The Subdivision Plan (C-101) dated August 9, 2024 illustrated an existing 20 ft wide ingress egress
easement. Will additional access be allowed for emergencies at the north end of the property through
this easement?
The preliminary application submitted with the Saratoga County referral form indicated 5.18 acres,
while the Environmental Assessment form and the project narrative describes 6.50 acres.The narrative
described the 0.77 acre parcel to used as a buffer. Will multiple parcels be consolidated to reach the
6.50 acres?
When the requested information is provided as a response to the above mentioned comments, they
should be presented for review and will be placed on the next available agenda.
