Re: SCPB Referral Review #26-01 - Site Plan Review - 53 Putnam St.
A proposed temporary development of a park-like setting for a parcel with previous approval for multi-
family structure on a 0.30-acre parcel. The temporary park will consist of a lawn area, bark mulched
beds of ornamental trees and shrubs with two picnic tables.
Location: Putnam St. (NYS Rt 9 and NYS Rt 9N)
Tax Map #: 165.60-1-58
Zoning: Urban Core (T-6)
Received from the City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board on December 11, 2025.
Reviewed by the Saratoga County Planning Board on January 15, 2026.
Decision: No Significant County-wide or Intercommunity Impact
Comments: The Saratoga County Planning Board reviewed a proposed 41,470 s.f. mixed use (5-story)
building including 4,423-s.f. of commercial space and 32 residential units in the City's urban Core (T-6)
District on a 0.31-acre parcel in December 2023. The Board expressed concern on the level of
remediation that may need to occur for public park usage versus the remediation plan set forth for a 5
story building.

Sincerely,
