The Saratoga Springs Design Review Board on Oct. 15 approved two motions related to an application for 172 Caroline Street that requested partial demolition work and the relocation of an existing detached two-car garage.

The first motion approved by the board allowed demolition limited to the shed addition, exterior stairs and a side entry only. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.

The second motion approved the proposed relocation of the garage with a specific condition: the recipient property or “recipient of the garage” must submit a final relocation plan to the Design Review Board for approval prior to issuance of any building permit. That motion also passed unanimously after being seconded.

Board members characterized the earlier workshop and onsite review as comfortable with the scope of work and described the last-minute language change as procedural and important to clarify the relocation condition. The board recorded the approvals as motions on the public record; applicants must comply with the relocation-plan condition before the building permit will be released.

No additional amendments were added and no further conditions were recorded beyond the requirement for a final relocation plan and standard building-department permit review.
