Re: Request for a Conservation Subdivision Sketch Plans Discussion within the
Planning Board regarding 40 Geyser Road
Susan,
As we have discussed, attached are some very preliminary diagrams, analysis figures, and calculations that
relate to the desire to pursue a conservation subdivision at the ±120 acre property located at 40 Geyser
Road, and within the RR Zone of Saratoga Springs.
The potential purchaser of the land (DBT Ventures) is seeking to develop the property primarily for single-
family uses and or uses currently allowed within the RR District and has developed a land plan that will reflect
the conservation design process and procedures that are prescribed under Article 16 if the U.D.O.
As outlined in Article 14.3-16. of the subdivision procedure section of the U.D.O., we are submitted the
attached sketch plan information in anticipation of meeting with the Planning Board to conduct a preliminary
discussion with the Board so that any future/formal applications can be prepared after gaining the Board’s
initial input, and hopefully any formal submission will represent a better-informed plan for this unique property.
We would like to request a meeting with the Board to initiate this discussion at the Board’s upcoming October
22 or November 5 meeting.
Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions and we look forward to meeting with the Board
to discuss this exciting proposal soon.
Sincerely,
C. Michael Ingersoll
