Board approves variance for Pet Lodge addition on Route 9
Summary
The Zoning Board approved an area variance allowing an addition to the Pet Lodge at 3320 Route 9, finding the proposal would not create adverse neighborhood impacts; the county planning board flagged no significant countywide impacts.
The Saratoga Springs Zoning Board of Appeals approved variances on Sept. 9 to permit an addition to the Pet Lodge at 3320 Route 9 in the Gateway Bridal Commercial District.
In a read motion, the board described the relief requested: an interior side setback reduced from the district requirement of 20 feet to 7 feet (13 feet of relief, about 65%) and a minimum total side reduction from 50 feet to 35 feet (roughly 30% relief). The motion states the applicant demonstrated the benefit could not be achieved through other feasible means and that the addition would not adversely affect neighborhood character; Saratoga County Planning provided no significant countywide concerns. The board voted to approve the motion; the chair characterized the presentation as "very well done."
