Mayor Marcham noted that the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission
has paid tribute to the long career of Shailer Philbrick as member of the Commission
while he served as Village Trustee by inviting him to become permanent consultant to ,
the Commission.
Mayor Marcham mentioned that the Village is in the process of negotiating two separate
contracts for sewer service with the Town of Lansing and the Village of Lansing, and
that this is the time to consider changing the manner in which outside sewer rents
are collected so that the Village will collect a lump sum from the municipalities
concerned-rather than from each outside individual owner.

query concerning definition of the word duplex as it applies to residences. The
State Department offered many definitions, stating that the definition of duplex is
the responsibility of the municipality. The Board agreed to use the definition as
follows: "Swelling, Toro- Family: A structure on a single lot containing two dwelling
units, each of which is totally separated from the other by an unpierced wall extending
from ground to roof or an unpierced ceiling and floor extending from exterior wall to
exterior wall, except for a common stairwell exterior to both dwelling units."

MINUTES of a Special Meeting of the Board of.Trustees of the Village of Cayuga
Heights held May 29, 1985 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Hall:
PRESENT: Mayor F.G. Marcham; Trustees Anderson, Bennett, Fleming; Engineer Rogers;
Police Chief McEwen.
ABSENT: Trustees Camp, Kira, Pimentel.
OTHERS PRESENT: Vice President Gurowitz, Messrs. Roscoe and Paleen for Cornell
University and Architect Bohlen, Mrs. McCarthy, Mrs. Searle, Mr. Donner.
The Mayor introduced the Cornell University group and the purpose of the meeting.'
Vice President Gurowitz explained why there had been delay in telling the Village
about the plans for establishing a student and faculty housing project on the north
side of Jessup Road.
Mr. Plleen spoke next of the need for more student housing of the sort contemplated
and the student demand for it. The housing would consist of apartments to accom-
modate "4 to 6 students, mostly 4. The facilitees'would be such as to provide total
cooking and housekeeping. There would be no parking in the complex. Students will
park in the adjacent major parking lot.
Mr. Roscoe spoke of the size of the site; 10 - 11 acres. He agreed that about 1/3
would not be available for building because it.is a small ravine, traversed by a
stream. Architect Bohlen deccribed the few preliminary concepts with which.he was
dealing. Housing for about 300 students'and a small-faculty-group townhouses each
with 4 living units. He mentioned a central administration building with offices,
some rooms for student meetings, an assembly hall. The buildings will be dis-
tributed, and where appropriate, linked together.
There was discussion regarding the pattern-of life that would develop. The
University spolesmen wished to develop a program that would accord with the Village
Ordinances. The architect and Engineer Rogers agreed that some adjustments might
have to be made to bring some points of detail into conformity with the Village
Ordinances.
The University officials accepted the idea that:those who lived in the new housing
district would be within the jurisdiction of the Cayuga'Heights Judicial and
police department.
Discussion ended at 8:30. The architect said that the first sketches will be ready
in four or five weeks.
