Applicant/Agent January 15, 2026 City of Saratoga Springs, NY Design Review Commission Re: 168 East Avenue Attn: Mark Graham and Tami Ehinger Dear Tami, We are working on an interior renovation to 168 East Avenue. (located on the corner of East Avenue and Lake Avenue). There are no significant exterior modifications proposed at this time, however, the floor plans do propose a new laundry room/dryer. The assistant building inspector (Rober Kocis) has requested that we seek approval for a dryer vent prior to issuing a building permit. We are looking at locating this dryer vent on the Lake Avenue side. This will not be visible due to the location and existing vegetation. (see photo below) We have included the images of the property and the floor plan and elevation which indicates the location of the proposed dryer vent on the South elevation. We request to be placed on the next available meeting or, if possible, for this to be approved administratively due to the minor nature of this request. Thank you for your cooperation.

February 5, 2026 City of Saratoga Springs Attn: Julia Destino – Re: 168 Lake Avenue Dear Julia and members of the Design Review Board, With regards to your request on the dryer vent, the Contractor has every intention to paint the exterior so that it will blend with the siding. Attached is the specifications for the dryer vent that we are planning to use. This is a minor request, and we would appreciate it if you could place this on the consent agenda.
