It was reported that the Shell 011 Company was negotiating for purchase of Scotts property at 830 Hanshaw Road for the purpose of erecting a gasoline station on the site.

PRESENT: Mayor Trustees Cornell Representatives 3/4' /65 Frederick G. Marcham John Bebbington, Jr. Robert T. Dean Katherine Ensworth David C. Weatherby Leroy K. Young Neal Stamp, Cornell Council Milton Shaw, Cornell Assistant Controller - Division of Housing and Dining Services 130 Mr. Shaw stated he represented the Controller, Mr. Arthur Peterson. Mayor Marchem suggested that only point one in Mr. Stamp's letter be ' discussed at this time, namely the violation of the Zoning Ordinances. Reference was made to Mr. Peterson's sworn statement, on Form AD -38- Application for Revision of Assessment on Cornell owned property at 111 Country Club Road, that the Cornell Residential Club was being used as a motel operation. Zoning Officer Rogers had notified them that operation of a motel in the Village is in violatibnn of'Village Zoning Ordinances, Article XI, Section 5. Attorney Stamp stated that the statement is essentially true and that operation as a motel is no change from use in the past by the preceding owner. Cornell officials have discussed the matter and considered converting the unit to student apartments which would be a tax free use. Mayor Marcham briefed those present on the history of the Club and stressed long term occupancy, and keeping transient occupancy at a minimum. Mr. Shaw stated that 10% of rooms were occupied on a monthly basis, 15 to 20% residential and another block 3 to 6 days, week -end guests during certain seasons and the rest transient. Do serve breakfast for overnight guests due to isolated housing. No regular meal set -up like.most motels. Mayor asked if he would find it difficult to have 75% or more a month of long term occupancy and remainder for shorter periods.. Mr. Shaw stated not only difficult but economically impossible. Would not carry taxes and sewer charges and would not fill University needs. If percentage revised, it might be possible. Use of(,C6fU`ert Club-membership _ card plan was terminated on transfer of title. Trustee Bebbington stated his experiences previous to Cornell ownership explaining that prior to change of title he had been able to secure accommodations for persons for several months but after title change he had not felt that long -term occupancy had been looked on with favor especially since the rental by the month had been nearly doubled and occupants had been requested to vacate on week -ends. The Mayor stated only circumstance under which we could go along with an operation of this sort where the balance lies between long term and short term occupancy would be on the basis of a firm agreement. We want, if we can, to help you but we feel that we must in terms of obligations to villagers have safeguards -long term occupancy rather than short term occupancy. Unless you seek a variance from regulations we must strive for and demand that if this operation is to continue some substantial portion be for long term use. Mr. Stamp inquired if there was any other basis for this notice of violation by Zoning Officer than statements made in petition? Any complaints from neighbors? ' Mayor replied there were none except through Trustee's statement of definite change in the operation and suggested they take another look at the operation and see if it could meet our requirements. 3/4/65 Mr. 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. 1 Mayor summed up the discussion as follows: 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: Adjournment 5:30 P.M. 3/4/65 Vera W.
