Re: Item 20260344 832 North Broadway
Dear Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals,
We reside at 101 Bryan Street in Saratoga Springs. The
western edge of our property abuts the eastern edge of 832
North Broadway. The owners of 832 North Broadway have
requested an area variance for a new driveway opening onto
Fourth Street. Based on discussion by members of the ZBA at
a hearing on July 13, 2026, the applicants submitted a modified
driveway proposal that reduces the variance request from 11
feet 7 inches to 10 feet 2 inches.
In order to do this, the modified proposal moves the garage
away from the street by one foot (north) and closer to our
property border by two feet. These changes bring the garage
and driveway with cars more into the line of sight of our house
and backyard pool/patio area and make it more probable that
the trees that currently provide a buffer between our properties
will need to be removed. We prefer that the proposed variance
not be modified in this way.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Peter Martin and Christine Alexander
