The Saratoga Springs Planning Board voted to grant a six‑month extension for the project at 67 West, per staff draft language. Board members said the extension should be treated as a final opportunity for the property owner to deliver required materials and site plans.
Planning staff (Susan) had prepared draft extension language; board members discussed that because the existing special‑use permit schedule had already lapsed, the six‑month extension from the original expiration effectively provides the property a shorter window (the chair noted that from the permit's prior expiration the applicant would have closer to four months remaining). Several board members said they considered the extension generous and characterized it as a "last chance" for the applicant to produce the requested site plan materials.
Chair Mark said he did not want the extension to harm another tenant operating on the property (the meeting record shows the applicant operates a car business that a cannabis tenant had relied on for project funding). The board approved the extension on a voice vote; the record shows the motion carried and staff will circulate the draft language to the applicant and record the new timeline for compliance.
Planning staff noted the extension will be monitored and that failure to deliver the required materials will prompt enforcement or further action by the board.
The board also used the meeting to discuss a separate UDO amendment advisory opinion and next steps before adjourning.
