Owner Signature: Date: Owner Signature: Date: Revised 01/2021 From the desk of Michael C. Belanger 182 Washington St. Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 To: Design Review Board January 17, 2025 Subject: Application for Design Review Background: When I purchased the property in 2002 there was an front stairs and no front driveway for the property. In that year I applied for a curb cut from the city and installed a driveway. In approximately 2004 1 moved the front steps to the side of the porch thereby making them more readily accessible to the driveway. They served the entry well for more than a decade but the porch itself is dated and wearing out and needed an overhaul and the steps were becoming rickety. During the pandemic in 2020 1 had time and a spare crew and decided to take that moment to rebuild the steps in their original location with some of my favorite details, as a precursor to redoing the porch, As such the new stairs is structurally independent of the porch so I can work on them separately. I was not aware that I was in an architectural review district and on the friendly advice of my lawyer, a former city attorney, I went ahead with the project. In the intervening years I have had many great comments on the installation and feel it is both well done and an attractive addition. That not withstanding I understand that there remain design issues that need to be resolved, not the least of which is to satisfy the permit requirements and to ensure that an adequate or better, code compliant hand rail is installed. I had been leaving that until I refurbished the porch, a project I would like to undertake as part of this effort. The project has a Part A, a Part B and in the future a Part C. Part A is intended to rectify the issue of not having obtained a permit and therefor applies to the "new" stairs and to the screen of the hot tub house which is at the end of the driveway. A plan drawing and elevations have been provided which show the existing situation as well as the new plans. Part B is intended to gain approval for the porch refurbishment and for the installation of the easy access ramp along the east side of the house and to formalize the new installation of the Hot Tub House Screen. Part C, when it comes to fruition within the next 2-3 years, will see a replacement of the existing single story roof, which is in excess of 100 years old and is compromised, leaking during heavy rain storms. My intent is to replace that roof with a flat roof and a parapet style perimeter. As such the footings I intend to use for the easy access ramp will be designed to eventually support the new roof and a brick parapet. This will necessitate a post design that works through the completion of Part B and can be modified for the eventual Part C. My intent is to Use pressure treated 6x6 posts up to the height of the new ramp railing. The posts would be fluted, capped and pedimented as necessary. When it comes From the desk of Michael C. Belanger 182 Washington St. Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 time to do the roof I will use the same colonial columns as are now on the front porch, placing 4 of them down the side of the ramp at the same height. This idea is detailed in the drawings. Neighbourhood Facades: I have collected photos of almost all, if not all, facades in the immediate two block vicinity for comparison purposes. While there are many houses that are similar in design to each other, there does not appear to be any house similar in design to mine. Perhaps one or two might be close but it remains, I think a distinctly different house within the immediate area. Here are some details about the facades within the neighbourhood. Of the 65 homes photographed; ❑ 7 had no porch to speak of, or were just steps ❑ 40 had what you might call traditional porches ❑ 35 had baluster style railings ❑ 15 had either solid shingle or siding railings ❑ 18 designs were clearly not traditional so "simple or modern or ad hoc" ❑ 46 of them had houses that did not meet the setback requirements for UR- 2 In terms of continuity of design steps were constructed of a variety of materials from stone, to concrete to unpainted wood to pressure treated and/or painted wood. Balusters, typically of turned wood, were most common with, metal, and square wood being also being used. Decking materials were not examined. My own design will utilize traditional decking materials, modern square metal balusters, and traditional mahogany for top and bottom rails of the railings. Posts in place will not be changed.
