Tarnie,
1 failed to make one revision to my letter prior to sending. The Foundation does NOT object to the removal of
the concrete front stairs. However„ it still has an interest in the details of what is being proposed to replace
them.
I plan to attend the meeting and if needed I can clarify at the meeting.
Thank you,
Samantha

Tamie,
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation reviewed the application to make exterior alterations and
landscape changes at 687 North Broadway. Please see the attached letter with our comments. In addition, I
have attached several historic photographs. Again, my apologies for the late submission. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
As always, thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration.
Samantha
