Re: SCPB Referral Review #26-196 - Site Plan Review - NYS Rt 29 Prime Station Lane LLC
The proposed mixed-use development of a 344-unit apartment building, a 110 room hotel, 46 row
houses and a maintenance building on a 17.86 acre site off of NYS Rt 29.
Location (Jurisdictional Determinant): NYS Rt 29
Tax Map #: 165.-2-70; 165.-2-70; 165.14-4-6 (previous 165.-2-18); 165.14-4-7 (previous 165.-2-19)
Zoning: Neighborhood Commercial (T-5)
Received from the City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board on September 1, 2026.
Reviewed by the Saratoga County Planning Board on September 17, 2026.
Decision: Request additional information.
Comments: The Saratoga County Planning Board reviewed the submitted materials and requested
additional information.
There appears to be multiple additional variances for this project besides the December 21, 2023 County
Planning Board Referral review for the 70% minimum buildout abutting the public right of way. Has the
Zoning Board reviewed those variances yet, as the SCPB has not seen those as referrals for any new
variances. Those variances may affect the site plan layout if not approved or modified.
Two of the three parcels in this proposal have new Parcel IDs due to a rekeying update by Saratoga
County Real Property. Please update all materials to reflect the change of 165.-2-18 to 165.14-4-6 and
165.-2-18 to 165.14-4-7. Parcel ID 165.-2-70 remains unchanged.
The Barton & Loguidice letter dated December 17, 2025 to the City Engineer had some comments that
may have indicated there was an updated plan. Please verify the most updated plan set is dated August
1, 2025. Please provide any correspondence from Bill Bills from the SCSD from the 3/25/25 email sent by
EP.
The EP Land Services letter dated July 29, 2026, there was mention of an updated traffic evaluation from
Lansing Engineering done in July 2026, please provide the updated evaluation.
Besides the NYS DOT letter dated March 19, 2024, has there been any other NYS DOT correspondence?

A NYSDOT work and commercial driveway/access permit will be required for all proposed improvements
on NYS Route 29. Early coordination with NYS DOT is recommended.
Please be aware as per the 2026 NYS Budget adoption, NYS DEC requires that Revised SEQR forms must
be completed for all projects that have not received a Negative Declaration or the lead agency has
issued a positive declaration and a draft environmental impact statement has not been accepted prior
to the effective date of this regulation (June 12, 2026). Revised SEQR forms can be found
here: https://dec.ny.gov/regulatory/permits-licenses/seqr
Please provide the revised Full Environmental Assessment Form (FEAF 2026).
When the additional information is provided as a response to the above mentioned comments, they
should be presented for review and will be placed on the next available agenda.
Please contact the Saratoga County Planning Board if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
