Applicant/Agent Page 1 of 1 115 Ross Ave—Summary Description and Proposed Action Dear Building Department and Design Review Board, I am writing on behalf of Saratoga Trackside Condominium,the owners of 115 Union Avenue (Ross House) and 125 Union Avenue (Columbus House), to request a building permit and approval from the Design Review Board (DRB) to repair the Porch/Balcony attached to the front of 115 Union Avenue. Overview The existing Porch/Balcony at 115 Union Avenue has developed significant structural issues, necessitating the installation of a temporary support system (see photo below)to prevent structural failure. Gn _ F rig ' V'. Proposed Work We have engaged Doug Adams, PE, of Saratoga Engineering & Design, PC, to design the repairs for the Ross House Porch/Balcony. A copy of the design drawings is attached. The new design incorporates some updates to address issues with the previous structure while maintaining visual consistency with the original design. Existing Porch/Balcony Issues • Original Design: o The porch roof consisted of a combination of a rubber membrane (flat section) and shingles (sloped section), with Trex decking installed on top of the shingles as the porch floor. o Over time, debris (e.g., pine needles) accumulated between the decking and the roof, trapping moisture and causing water damage. o Prolonged exposure to water resulted in wood rot, leading to structural failure of the floor, roof, and supporting columns. (See Photos below for reference.) Q s F `�'��3-. -`der, �y'+y�. � ���'j�i '!�y' i� z�/'�•�,� 1��... �: Sal 1 • } r z Xs1y^�—,��►y@{ h€,,�SI �. s a� I - i s ' - �_ a V. New Design Details 1. Flooring and Roof Material: o The new design will utilize Intellideck, a durable vinyl membrane that functions as both the roof and the porch floor, eliminating the need for decking material on top. o The selected style is Royal Oak from Intellideck's Naturals Collection (product sheet attached), which closely matches the existing color and look of the porch.

Homestead Brov:: o It is important to note that the porch floor/roof is not visible from the street, as shown in the attached photograph. r t Fi f gY i r' Y oe : F 1 � - •1 Y ,;,6.4 2. Additional Support Column: o The existing porch is supported by 8" decorative wood columns. o To enhance structural integrity, the new design will include one additional column, centered between the two existing columns on the left side of the porch (viewed from Union Avenue). The new column will be an exact match in design and material to the existing columns. Contractor Information The repair work will be performed by ACW Family Builders. • Primary Contact: Stephen Hitchcock, Owner o Email: acwbuilders@gmail.com o Phone: (518) 365-2962 We appreciate your review of our application and supporting documents.
