Just south of 1451 Route 50

Their next project in town will start by demolishing the home at 1451 Route 50 and then erect 16 condominiums, a parking garage and some more pavement.

1451 Route 50 property size is 1.18 acres.  This is only 51,247 square feet which is planned to have 16 condominium units and parking garage on it.  It is currently zoned Hamlet Residential District.

The applicant for the project, Mourningkill Properties, LLC, is currently developing the two properties located directly to the south on Route 50.

On May 29, 2019 at 7:30 Lansing Engineering is scheduled to present a Site Plan to the Town of Ballston Planning Board.  After the presentation, a public hearing will be held.  Residents will have 5 minutes to speak on this proposed project.

Based on the papers filed with the Town of Ballston, they plan to demolish the home on the property and construct two 8-unit condominium buildings and one 12-stall garage.  The condominium buildings will be a two-story design and the garage will be a single-story building.

Home at 1451 Route 50

The builder is claiming these 16 condos are in line with the Town's Comprehensive Plan by offering opportunities to vary the style and price of housing, developing in close proximity to services, installing a sidewalk on Route 50 to promote walkability, creating an appropriate transitional land use between the mixed-use development to the south and the single family detached housing to the north, and considering infill development and redevelopment activities instead of developing on green fields.

The proposed condos will have an estimated total use of 3,200 gallons of Town of Ballston water per day as well as making an extension to the Saratoga County sewer main to provide sewer service to each of the individual buildings.

This project will impact the Town of Ballston and is within proximity of homes on the following roads:

1400 block of Route 50/ Saratoga Road

Autumn Lane

Cindy Lane

Covered Wagon Court

Harold Street

Moonlight Drive

North Avenue

Pine Grove Avenue

Reita Street

The town board has yet to correct the zoning to be in line with what residents want.  It has been 73 days (as of today, 05/24/19) since residents spoke out.
