Male Project No. 25.0998 Dear Susan: C.T. Male Associates Engineering, Surveying, Architecture, Landscape Architecture & Geology, D.P.C. (C.T. Male), on behalf of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Regeneron or Applicant), is providing this submission to supplement the sketch plan/SEQRA application currently under review by the Planning Board, and respond to verbal comments made by the Board at the April 23, 2026 meeting. The following attachments are provided, with a brief explanation of each item below: List of Attachments National Grid Utility Service Letter Attachment 1 Avenue of the Pines Photos Attachment 2 National Grid Utility Service Letter – At the request of the Planning Board, National Grid provided a letter describing the existing and proposed dedicated electrical service to the Regeneron site. The letter confirms that the facility is served by a radial 34.5 kV sub‑transmission line that exclusively serves the site, and that all local distribution serving the surrounding community is on fully separate lines at different voltages. National Grid concludes that the proposed service “will have no direct impacts on any residential customers,” and has preliminarily determined that the proposed 12 MVA service will not negatively impact the local electric system. This letter addresses the Planning Board’s comment regarding electric utility capacity in the context of community‑wide impacts and the SEQRA review, while noting that future 115 kV service will be evaluated through the NYISO process. C.T. MALE ASSOCIATES April 30, 2026 Supplemental Submission Regeneron Saratoga Project Page - 2 Avenue of the Pines Truck Traffic: The Planning Board requested that Regeneron consider prohibiting truck traffic on Avenue of the Pines, which connects Route 9 to Route 50 through the Saratoga Spa State Park. We reviewed this request and determined that truck traffic is already prohibited on Avenue of the Pines, as evidenced by the following: • “No Trucks” signage is posted at both the eastbound and westbound entrances to the roadway. • Avenue of the Pines is not listed as a Highway Designated as a Qualifying or Access Highway for Larger Dimension Vehicles in the NYSDOT Truck Book (2020) and is not a designated truck route. • The roadway is under New York State Parks maintenance jurisdiction, as it is located entirely within a State Park. Based on this existing designation, we believe that this comment is addressed. Respectfully Submitted, C.T.
