Commission recommends approval for unmanned fiber hub at The Hub Lot 5
Summary
The Commission forwarded a recommendation to approve a 0.69-acre unmanned fiber amplification hub at 2438 North Stagecoach Drive featuring two 852-square-foot buildings; applicant described the site as a periodic maintenance location where fiber signals are regenerated every 50–60 miles.
The Saratoga Springs Planning Commission on March 26 voted to forward a recommendation for approval of a site plan for Lot 5 of The Hub at Saratoga, a 0.69-acre parcel at 2438 North Stagecoach Drive. Planner II Sam Stout said the proposal is for an unmanned fiber utility with two buildings (852 sq ft each) that will be visited occasionally for routine maintenance.
Applicant Michael McIntire described the technical role of the site in the fiber network: “as data went across glass fibers every 50-60 miles it needed to be regenerated; the data would then go into server racks, get regenerated, and then be sent back down the line similar to the old coaxial setups for cable.” Commissioner Scott A. Hill moved to forward a recommendation for approval; Commissioner Colton Miles seconded. The Commission voted 6-0 to forward the recommendation to City Council.
