Re: Initial Site Assessment
Proposed Development at
31-33 Marion Ave,
Saratoga Springs
Saratoga County, NY
Dear Charles,
A review of the information housed in the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic
Preservation, Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS) system indicates that there are no significant
historic properties located within close proximity to 31-33 Marion Ave in the town of Saratoga Springs.
The parcels currently contain a two brick structures that operate as a car wash and automobile repair
shop. These buildings are surrounded by asphalt parking areas and utility corridors. The property is
located within a commercial area along Marion Avenue near its intersection with NYS Route 29 (Truck).
The Car Wash building is a single story brick structure that was built in 1981. This building does not
meet any of the criteria established by the Secretary of the Interior for listing or considered eligible for
listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The Auto Repair Shop is a single story brick structure
that was constructed around the same time as the adjacent filling station in 1971.
No historic properties, or significant archaeological resources have been identified within the vicinity of
the proposed undertaking, therefore the proposed undertaking, which includes the demolition and/or
alteration of these buildings and the construction of a Stewarts Shops filling station will not impact any
significant cultural resources.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Beth Selig
