The two parcels are owned by ANW Holdings, Inc. Both parcels were part of a 4-lot subdivision which was approved in the summer of 2022. The subdivision included three single family home lots which front on Nelson Avenue and one larger lot, tax parcel 166.77.4-17.1, held for future development. A sketch plan for this lot was discussed during that approval process, which is generally in conformance with the current, proposed PUD Sketch Plan. One of the three previously approved single-family lots is now included within the PUD Boundary but will be developed, as originally planned, as a single-family home blended into the character of Nelson Avenue. At present, these lots function as a grass/crushed stone seasonal parking lot during the track season. The project area, currently known as the old Schrade Lot, borders historic racetrack facilities on three sides. The north and south property lines border NYRA Barns, and to the east across from Frank Sullivan Place is the paddock area. The proposed concept plan for the PUD parcels involves the development of eight single-family homes and a 4-unit mixed-use building. Two of the single-family homes will have frontage, consistent with the recently approved lots. The other six are proposed on a private Lane with access from Frank Sullivan Place. Three of the single-family homes will also have detached guest units. The proposed multi-use building will have frontage on Frank Sullivan Place and will include three stacked residential units, an efficiency unit for owners’ guests and an approximately 800- 1,000 square-foot commercial space. The commercial space is intended to operate seasonally during the summer months/track season as an art gallery or tourist retail establishment. In addition, the project will benefit the community by investing $160,000 to enhance the functionality and increase the capacity of the Scott T. Johnson Recreation Center by expanding the existing parking lot; an improvement that has been identified as a specific need by members of the community. The development area falls within the Residential Neighborhood (RN-2) Future Development Area of the City of Saratoga Springs 2015 Comprehensive Plan. This designation is characterized by single family residential uses with moderate density two -family. While a mix of housing types is present, these areas retain the basic character of single-family neighborhoods, such as front and rear yards, driveways and garages. Small, neighborhood-scale commercial uses may currently exist to complement the residential uses. The overall development concept is in conformance with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and intends to blend the homes on Nelson Avenue seamlessly into the character of the existing neighborhood and streetscape, including the provision of front porches and set-back garages. The maximum density in the R-2 district is 7 units/acre. Therefore, 13 units are allowed under the current zoning and Comprehensive Plan. In addition, UDO Section 13.16, D. Permitted Density, states, “The maximum density permitted in any proposed PUD, or subsequent amendment thereto, shall not cumulatively exceed 20% in addition to the maximum density envisioned by either the current Comprehensive Plan or by the applicable zoning in effect immediately prior to the adoption of the original PUD, whichever is lower.” Therefore, an additional 20% allows the unit count to increase to 15 units. The proposed development falls within that density with 15 proposed units. The proposed PUD also meets the current UR-2 zoning for building and lot coverage. The project has been designed to create a density that, once landscaped, will fit the surrounding context, feel private for all the owners, and serve as a valuable asset for the city while providing upscale housing adjacent to the track. The current development plan for construction is to break ground in the early fall of 2025, after the completion of the racing season. The plan is to install all infrastructure, pavement to the base course and foundations during the first six months of construction. The units would be finished as they are sold. The market will determine the final schedule, but the goal would be to have the project completed in three years. p. 1 of 2 City of Saratoga Springs Application for Zoning AmendmentRevised 1/2021 1.

GOLUB COMMJSSJOKEH of PUBLIC WOHKS JOSEPH J. O'NEILL,III DEPUTY COMMISSIONEH MICHAEL VEITCH llUSJNESS MANAGER 8.6.24 To whom it may Concern: I am writing to express my support for the proposed JW Hemingway PUD JW Hemingway is a project situated on Nelson Avenue through to Frank Sullivan. This is the old Schrader lot which now is used to park cars at the track. This property borders the historic racetrack on three sides. The north and south borders NYRA Barns, and to the east is the paddock area across Frank Sullivan Place. This proposed PUD consists of one lot of the 3 lots that have been subdivided previously and the remaining lands. The concept of the Witt Construction PUD is to have the proposed homes on Nelson Avenue fit into the vernacular of the streetscape and provide homes with front porches and set-back garages. The interior of the lot will be developed off Frank Sullivan with six single-family homes. Three of the homes will have detached guest rooms. They'll be at a separate 3 unit stacked condo building off Frank Sullivan. Within this building there is a proposed efficiency unit for owners' guest to stay, and an 800 square­ foot commercial space for an art gallery or tourist retail that would operate seasonally during the summer months/track season. The density of the neighborhood, once landscaped, will feel very private for all the owners and will be an asset to the city while also providing upscale housing adjacent to the track. The proposed PUD meets current zoning requirements for density and lot coverage. Additionally, as part of this project, Witt construction has agreed to provide $160,000.00 of enhancements to the Scott Johnson Recreation Center. This is an important Civic Space improvement that will provide additional parking at the Rec Center which has been a long-standing need for the community.
