How to resolve AdBlock issue? SARATOGA SPRINGS — Current applications under consideration when the city Planning Board meets this week include the consideration of coordinated SEQRA review for a proposed 102-unit multi-family residential project at 131 Excelsior North Spring Run, and a proposed multi-family residential project consisting of 58 units on South Broadway.
The South Broadway property currently sites a 64-room motel built in 1954. “When the property was sold in the mid-2000’s, it slowly fell into disrepair,” according to documents the applicant filed with the city.
Developer Stephen Ethier has proposed demolishing the existing motel buildings and spa at 120 South Broadway to allow for the construction of 58 multi-family units. The property measures approximately 2.7 acres in size. Ether purchased the property about five years ago.
Plans were initially prepared in April 2021 and were updated April 2022.
After reviewing the application for partial demolition, the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation submitted their commentary that while the Foundation “did not determine that the complex is architecturally significant,” it recommends the existing Rosemary Spring, gazebo and any remaining marble slabs on site be preserved and incorporated into the civic space of the proposed project.
