Item 4- 435 Wyckoff Rd.
· Code Enforcement Officer B. Cross gave an overview of the proposed project, a 29’
long by 8’ wide porch addition to the front of the sorority building. Although the
building and addition are wholly within the Village, part of the land required to meet
the Village’s zoning setback regulation is located in the City of Ithaca. Based on
discussions with NYCOM and legal counsel, the project is compliant with height,
area, and setback regulations of the Village and therefore not subject to a variance
from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
