AREAV�4RIANCE—PLEASE ANSWERTHE FbLLOWING(add additional information as necessary):
The applicant requests relief from the following Zoning Ordinance article(s) 6.1.5.3fAli and 6.1.5.3(C11
Dimensional Requirements From To
ODM6s,digital pre-browse,Spingboard with CODs,and DT 50 feet Minimum of 10

2 replacement ODMB from approved variance of 31.7 12 square feet 27.4 square feet
Other:
To grant an area variance,the ZBA must balance the benefits to the applicant and the health,safety,and welfare of the neighborhood and
community,taking into consideration the following:
I. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by other feasible means. fdentify what alternatives to the variance have
been explored(alternative designs,attempts to purchase land,etc.)and why they are not feasible.
The existing .(�n mPnu hnarris wera installeri in���� as a t_rhnolo�and method available and reflective of the�eriod. A
variance of 31.7 sq.ft.was approved for the current menu board sizes and variance of 32 feet for minimum separation distance
between freestanding signs,(current menu boards). The variety of inenu items at the time was m�re limited to traditional
c ona s am urgers, ries an s a es. T at al owe the menu oar s at t e time to su icient y a vertise reak ast an unc
with minimal physical effort. Employees ovould only need to go outside and turn the individual b�ards of the 4 panels three times
signiflcantly with options for"all day breakfast'; Dollar menu; McCafe and much more not to mention the regular changes in
pricinq and promotional features. Altematives that have been practiced over the past 5 years have been asking employees to
physically remove panels to change the menus instead of simply rotating the board.The additional physical requirements have
increased their risk of incident between customer vehicles at the drive thru lanes as they traverse during business hours.
2. Whether granting the variance will produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby
properties. Granting the variance will not create a detriment to nearby properties or an undesirable change in the neighborhood
character for the following reasons:
ThPSP imnrovemPnts will Pnhanra thP naighborhood by allowing for reduced sfacking of vehicles coming oifi of Broadway and
trying to come in by the adjacent public road to the drive thru lane. Adjacent neighbors are not opposed to these menu boards
which have no adverse affect on the value of their properties,buildinqs or businesses.
Because we're requesting to transition from static incandescent light pollution to automatic ambient reduction,traffic, residents
an usinesses wi expenence a re uction o ig t ove ow om t e current mcan escent ig ting.
slow down drive thru traffic. They are not flashy,bright images or colors. They provide no additional sound or speakers.
Revised O1/2o19
ZONING BOARD OFAPPEALSAPPUCATION FORM PAGE 7
3. Whether the variance is substantial. The requested variance is not substantial for the following reasons:
This board approved a variance for menu board signage in May 12,2010 of 87.4 sq.ft.This approval v✓as distributed in two,
4-panel menu boards @43.7 sq.ft,each. Our request today is that you allow us to REDUCE your previous approval of 87.4 sq.ft.
by 5.2 sq.ft.and allowing us to redistribute this signage sq.footage over four areas instead of iwo-that being two menu boards
sign elements may appear to be substantial,we emphasize the overalf REDUCTION of signage on the drive thru. The variance is
also not substantial because we'll be improving the flow of traffic due to the increased readabiliry from a digital experience vs.
printed material. The sherper image reduces glare and automatically adjusts brightness based upon ambient light. The board
positions improve the order time,reduce queuing lines and increase the egress flow from the property.
4. Whether the variance will have adverse physical or environmental effects on neighborhood ordistrict. The requested variance will not
have an adverse physical or environmental effect on the neighborhood or district for the following reasons:
We don`t believe traffic utilizing McDonald Alley should be distracted by the ambient glare from incandescent lighting nor the
distraction of being able to read whaYs on the menu at McDonalds if they aren't in the drive thru lanes. Although not granted in
2010,we believe the present illumination is fikely causing glare and is a nuisance according to§6.1.3(A)7. Non-customers and
along McDonald's Alley and adjacent properties. The variance request will remove the present light blead into the traffic onto
McDonald Alley to the west and be reduced in visibility to the Duncan Donuts and Piaa Hut patrons to the north. These outdoor
digital menu boards(ODMB)are more efficient and environmental friendly with the transition from fluorescent to LED,leaving less
of a carbon footprint,and the elimination of printed panels for the menus by going to a fully digital menu.
The static and limited motion of ODMB can be controlled intemally removing fhe risk to employees and the public by no longer
having the need to physical�y go out and rotate menu boards and replace panels 3 times daily. ODMB are cleaner visuals, easier
to ready products, price and items. Menu board elements can be turned off when no traffic is in the drive thru. They are capable
of stop movement and motion. They have manual control/pre-set brightness or can be set automafically to adjust to brightness

5. Whether the alleged difficulry was self-created(although this does not necessarily preclude the granting of an area variance).Explain
whether the alleged difficulty was or was not setf-created:
If McDonald's wanted to maintain the same quantity of inenu items offered at the same times at the same prices,fhe need for new
menu boards would likely be unnecessary. If it was not important to confirm a customers order and the price they are charged
accurately,this variance would likefy be uronecessary. Because of the increased demands of consumers,ability to offer more
Thru lanes. Re-distributing previously approved square footage from two(2),to four(4)sign elements in the drive thru lanes may
constitute a seif-created difficuliy,however is designed to meet the standards pertaining to the nature and intent of the criteria for
review by the Zoning Board of Appeals. Another observation is that the current provisions in the zoning code§6.1.3(B)3 identify
bare light which has become evident with the deteriorating panels and will he satisfied with the granting of the variances.

from the determination of the Building Inspector involving the premises at 197 Braadway,in
the City of Saratoga Springs, New York being Section 165.83, Block 1, Lot 7, fnside
District, on the Assessment Map of said City.
The appellant having applied for an area variance under the Zoning Ordinance of said City,
as amended, to replace an existing 4,250 square foot building used as a McDonald's
restaurant with a new building for the same purpose, with a 4,400 square foot footprint.

given of a hearing on said application held on various dates, including but not limited fo
March 8 and 22, and April 12, 2010.
In consideration of the balance between benefit to the applicant with detriment to the

laced. business
As per the submitted plans or lesser dimensions, be approved for the faflowing reasons:
1. The applicant has demonstrated this benefit canno# be achieved by other
means feasible to the applicant. As the applicant notes, ofher layout designs
were explored, inclucling a building that fuily complied with the frontage
requirement but resulted in traffic concerns, as well as concerns with having
the building's side border as the side facing the street. The applicant also
notes that the development of the current design has occurred in collaboration
with the Planning Board. Such collaboration, by its nature, includes the
exploratian of options for the project and determining which among those
options are feasible to bofh the applicant and the planning goals af the T-5
district.
2. The appficant has demonstrated that granting these variances will not create
an undesirable change in neighborhood character or detriment to nearby
properties. The proposed two-story layout with significanf street frontage, plus
the appearance of additional frontage wifih the wall and frellis, doss much to
progress this property towards fhe goals set forth for Yhe T-5 district: "Ground
ffoar retail including sales, service, restaurant and offices with walk-in clientele
are required along key frontages in the zone." However, the zone vision
provides some flexibiliiy by sfating fhe district's intent as being a mixed use
neighborhood center accommodating a wide variefy of uses, building fypes, and
lot sizes. Therefore, the proposed layout of having a second s�ory height-wise
without the use of the second story is an appropriate baiance of applicant needs
and the City's vision for the district.
As for the signage, the impacf to character of the size and p[acement of the wall
signs, and th� size of the free-standing sign on the street side should be
considered by the Design Review Commission in light of T-5 district goals.
Zoning Board members have expressed varying degrees of concern on the
number, size and pfacement of the signs. The Baard's approval at this stage of
the process acknowledges that balance between the applicant's desire to identify
th�e brand in the public's view and the City's need to conform wifh district goals
should entail flexi6ility on the parts of all who are engaged in the review process.
3. The variances are substantial relative to what is specifically ailowed. On the
layout-relafed requested areas of relief, the substantiality is pa�tial(y mitigated by
the wa11 and trellis elements that provide a greater perceptian of frontage build-
out. On the signage-related areas of relief, the relief requested is substantial. In
the hearings thus far, the applicant has noted a need for significant signage
caused by the lack of branding in the architecture.
4. This request wi11 not have an ad�erse physical/environmental effect on the
neighborhood; the applicant notes fhat green space will be expanded relative to
what is in place now, and that the exisfing facility has been in place for a long
period of time.
5. The condition of desiring a rebuilt restauran#facility, with accompanying new
signag�, is self-created, however this atane is not necessarily fatal to the
appfication. It should be noted that the self-created aspects af the signage is
somewhat offset by the facf that the new building design came a6out partially from
feedback from the City land-use boards, and the increased signage could be
argued to be other than self-created to the degree that they compensate for the
lack of corporate architectural details.
Conditionsl Other Approvals:
Saratoga County Planning Baard issued decision, "No significant County wide or inter-
comrnunity impact."
Planning Board Site Plan Review and Special Use Permit are required
DRC archit�ctural approval is required.
The Zoning Board of Appeals requests that the DRC consider an appropriate scale of
the logas (the "M"), with regard to the architectural standards of the T-5 districf and the
South Broadway gatewayicorridor. This motion ailows the flexibility to work within the
size constrainfs requested by fhe applicant; however fhe Board discussed concern with
mass and scale, and precedent for the districf.
Adopted by fhe folfowing vote:
AYES: 6 (M. Macica, C. Maguire, K. Kaplan, B. Moore, G. Hasbrouck, S. Carlson)
NAYES: 0
Datsd: April 12, 2010
This variance shall expire 18 months from this date unless the necessary building
permit has been issued and actual canstruction begun as per Article 240-94.5 G.
