Re:Outdoor seating for Coat Room at 385 Broadway
To Whom it May Concern,
I have reviewed and approve the outdoor seating as set forth by Coat Room in front of the storefront space of
Mark Thomas Men's Apparel to be located at 385 Broadway in Saratoga Springs, NY.This approach will be highly
beneficial, as it encourages potential clients to actively engage with and examine their merchandise closely,
rather than simply passing by without noticing it.This increased attention can lead to greater interest and higher
sales for Mark Thomas who has also provided their own letter of support. As Owner of the building located at
385 Broadway in Saratoga Springs,we fully support the request to provide Outdoor Seating on the sidewalk in
front of our building for the use by the Coat Room (Mipeto, LLC).

Barbara,
Building Department has the following feedback:
• DRB approval is required
• Applicant should provide a supervision and control plan, since the location of the outdoor
dining is essentially remote from the bar/ restaurant space. Nothing on the proposed
seating plan indicates a designated area for an employee station.
• The first floor corridor is part of the 2 hour fire-rated, protected exit of the building and is
classified as an "exit passageway" in the Building Code. The rated stair enclosure does
not discharge directly to the exterior of the building, it discharges into the exit
passageway. The elevator is also part of the accessible means of egress for this building
and discharges into the exit passageway. Building Department still has concerns about
the use of this exit passageway for any purpose other than as a means of egress and a
building circulation path. The door from the Coat Room to the passageway must always
remain closed and latched. The passageway itself must always remain unobstructed. No
part of the Coat Room's operation can be allowed to negatively impact or interfere with the
primary function of the passageway as a protected exit.
It is my opinion and recommendation that the applicant should provide additional or revised
information addressing the stated concerns. In the mean time, I have no objection to this
application proceeding to DRB for their review of the items within the scope of the historic
review criteria as it relates to an outdoor seating area.
Thank you,

FD approves the Outdoor Dinning with the following requirements:
• Outdoor seating max of 14 persons in the proposed location.
• In reference to the common hallway/corridor, the business operations for the Coat Room is limited
to foot-traffic only-wait staff to-and-from the Kitchen, Main dinning/Bar area and Outdoor
dinning. At no time is the business allowed to place/store any furniture or other items in the
common hallway/corridor and must keep the main door to the Bar/Dinning Room closed at all

Barbara,
We have reviewed the 2025 Outdoor Dining Application for the Coat Room and have found the
following:
1.) Using the proposed dimensions from the architect, I have calculated the occupancy to be 14 seats.
The architect shows 18 seats in his drawing.
- 10'8" x 25'1" overall dimensions less the width of the planters (1'4") = 209.222 sqft/ 15 = 13.95.
-These dimensions allow for an 8' walkway on the sidewalk for foot traffic.
2.) The application refers to a letter of support from Mark Thomas Mens Apparel. That letter was not
included in the application. Can you provide this for our records?

3.) The attached email from Barbara Brindisi highlights that Tami Elhinger does not feel that the proposal
meets the criteria for SWC or outdoor dining?
4.) We also noted that the chair material differs from what is suggested in the city code for outdoor
seating. Not sure if this has been discussed with the business?
We just need some minor clarification/info with the above so we can finish our approval for this.
Thankyou

Chief:
This application had been originally sent to Timothy Thomas and Dave Queenan. The licensee is trying
to get on the DRB schedule for outdoor dining, but requires DPS, DPW, Building approval first.
This is going to you instead of Rebecca due to the urgency.
Please advise if the Outdoor Dining applications are to go to Rebecca or if you have someone else.

Mike -
They did provide a 30-Day Notice for a rooftop bar, which is another issue, and may have amended it
while in process with the NYSLA.
This outdoor dining license can be issued without alcohol. We do it all the time for E&D establishments
while waiting for their NYSLA license.
Let me know that you'd like a supervision and control plan for this establishment.
