Dear Planning Board,
My name is Marketa Wolfe and I own and reside at 37 Park
Place in Saratoga Springs. I am writing regarding the
construction project proposed for Park Place and Cottage
Street (listed as projects 20250202 Park Place & Cottage St

Final Subdivision & 20250203 Park Place & Cottage St Site
Plan Review under the address 7 Cottage Street).
In my opinion the proposed three-story, six-unit structure is too
massive and dense for the lot and does not fit the character of
the neighborhood. When walking the Park Place street from its
beginning at the Five Points corner to the Cottage Street
corner, there is no structure remotely similar to the proposed
structure on either side of the street: other than the retail at the
Five Points Corner, the Park Place street consists of
standalone structures that are one-family (or in some cases
two-family) dwellings. The proposed six condos crammed next
to each other in one structure is overwhelming compared to the
existing dwellings. The Cottage Street is an even quieter street
with almost no through-traffic. The proposed structure is turning
it into a parking entrance for the condo complex since the only
access to the six-unit parking (consisting of 11 or 17 parking
spots based on the May 8, 2025 presentation at the Planning
Board meeting) is from Cottage Street. The proposed structure
does not improve the Park Place and Cottage Streets blocks; it
changes the neighborhood for the worse. I respectfully ask that
you do not approve this proposal.
With gratitude,
Marketa Wolfe
