Comments Dear Members of the Design Review Board,
I am writing to express concern over the proposed alterations
to a historic building in Saratoga Springs. As a resident who
deeply values our city’s Victorian heritage, I fear that these
changes threaten the very essence of what makes Saratoga
Springs unique.

Our town’s historic buildings are not just part of our past—they
are a vital piece of our identity. Yet, with increasing
development, Saratoga Springs is at risk of becoming a
"cookie-cutter" town, losing the charm and character that draw
people here.
I urge the Board to carefully consider the long-term impact of
these alterations. We must find a balance between progress
and preservation, ensuring that we keep the Victorian essence
that makes Saratoga Springs special.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
