Under Review: A New Home on Phila Street
Plans submitted to the city in advance of the DRB meeting.
SARATOGA SPRINGS —An Area Variance extension is sought by the new owners of a vacant lot at 81 Phila St. to permit the construction of a home.
An original variance to build a home on the lot was obtained and approved by Design Review Board in July 2022, but the owner had since decided to sell the lot, according to city documents. The previously granted variance expired January 2024, and the current owners acquired the lot in June 2024.
There have been no changes to the lot or street which change the circumstances upon which the original variances were granted, and the applicants – Tom and Paula D’Orazio, of Loudonville – intend to build within the approved footprint and subject to the original approved variances.
The item is listed as one of seven new items to be discussed at the next Saratoga Springs Design Review Board meeting, which will take place 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 2 at City Hall.
