My parents own and have lived at 14 1/2 Cottage Street for
over 40 years. My Siblings and I were very lucky to have grown
up on Cottage Street. It is a small, quiet and safe street with
very little traffic. Ideal for families and children. We know, and
are close to our neighbors. It is this kind of neighborhood and
community that have always made Saratoga Springs the
special and unique place that it is.

The scope and nature of this proposed project will do
detrimental damage and harm to the environment, peace and
safety of this neighborhood and community. Looking at the
plans it appears that the entrance to the parking area will be on
Cottage street, almost directly across the street from where my
parents live. This will dramatically increase traffic and noise on
what is a very small street. I also observed that the project is
very close to two of the historic homes in the area: 23 Park
place and 36 White street. I am surprised that placing a large
condominium structure in such close proximity to these
beautiful historic homes is being considered at all. Especially in
a city where we take so much joy and pride in the preservation
of our beautiful history architecture. I’m not saying development
shouldn’t happen, but the size and scope of this particular
project is much too large for the environment you are proposing
to pace it is, and such a proposition illustrates just how little
knowledge of and care the developer has for this neighborhood
and community.
There are better ways to develop this lot and I urge you to
consider them for the sake of the neighborhood
