HomeMy WebLinkAboutReg Mtg. Minutes 3/15/1965Mr. Stamp inquired (assuming that a greater emphasis is on transient rather
than long term use) if it is to accommodate its own internal needs to find
® housing for visitors to University, would the fact that transients were
University transients have a bearing?
Trustee Weatherby -If owner paid for use "it would circumvent the whole
thing. Mr. Stamp replied that accommodations were paid for essentially by
user.
Mayor suggested they prepare a plan to present and that it is up to them to
figure it out and then we would'have.a look at it.

We'll let the matter rest and you go back and have another look at.it - we
wish to make an agreement with you - we have our obligation,to.villagers
as a whole and cannot condone any breach of our ordinance and.I hope that
you may have a chance to look at the matter again and make a-proposition
to us.
Mr. Stamp asked if we should have a new agreement and not try to adjust
old agreement, and may we assume in the meantime that the matter of a fine
is waived while being negotiated:
The Mayor assured Mr. Stamp that a new agreement should be presented and
that the matter of the fine would not be pressed for.the present.. Waiver.
would have to be by board action:

Minutes of the ANNUAL RESIDENTS MEETING held in the Cayuga.Heights School
Monday, March 15, 1965 at 8 P.m.
There were 13 residents present besides Village.Gfficials.
Mayor Marcham was appointed by the residents to preside at the meeting
and Village Clerk Snyder to serve as secretary.
Mayor IMarcham presented the high points of interest which occurred
during the year, mentioning the unsettled issue of payment for land taken
by the State for Route 13 By -pass; the requests for sewer services to
outside areas, namely - Town of Ithaca for Northeast Sewer District, and
the Town of Lansing for two sewer districts in the southern part of Lansing;
negotiations with Cornell for sharing in the cost of Additions and Alterations
to Sewer Plant which had been agreed upon in 1959 but though we have extended
the services to them, they have not yet met their payment'toward the capital
cost of construction. They have agreed to pay $40,000 in cash and an addition-
al $40,000 payable over a period of years. While these negotiations are
under way the money has not yet come into our treasury and the Village is
paying interest on the money borrowed to finance the plant expansion.
The Mayor reported briefly on the Joint Municipal Survey Committee Is
Comprehensive Sewerage Study on Project Area No. 1, which covers the Village
of Cayuga Heights, northeast part of Town of Ithaca, southern part of Town
of Lansing and a small area in the western portion of Town of Dryden, which
will be presented to the Tompkins County Sewer Agency. Among other things
the report recommended the purchase by the County Sewer Agency of the Village
Sewage Plant and trunk'lines,to the plant, which may occur in the course
of a year or so.
He further stated that the Village Board is eager to cooperate with its
neighbors and mentioned we had just signed a 20 year contract with the
City of Ithaca for water and incidentally the .rate was reduced from being
double to a rate and one half. He also mentioned the Fire Protection
Contracts we have with the Town of Ithaca and Town of Lansing for adjoining
areas. Another example of cooperation or collaboration.is the Greater
Ithaca Regional Planning Board on which we have a representative and to
which we contribute $1,000 a year.
' He briefly outlined the matter of zoning along Pleasant Grove Road.and
reported on the Public Hearing at which a majority expressed opinions .,not
to change the zoning in this area and 'that to apply multiple dwelling zoning
to this area would be to change the character of the Village.
