Dear Tamie:
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation reviewed the application for 225 Caroline
Street that proposes exterior alterations to the house and demolition of the existing garage to
construct a new garage.

Vice President p
reconstructed to be more in-keeping with the style of house.
Linda Harvey-Opiteck
Secretary The Foundation has no concerns with the proposed removals of the house, including the one-
Dmitriy Yermolayev story rear addition and side porch and is pleased that the height of the proposed rear addition
Treasurer is less than the height of the existing house, allowing the new construction to be differentiated
Jaime Butler from the original structure. However, the Foundation has concerns that the proposed rear
Caroline Cardone addition is more ornate than the original structure. It recommends that the decorative detail of
Steven Dodds the proposed addition be simplified.
