Re: canopy Hotel Project – Project Update- Submittal
Dear Lisa,
Please find enclosed updated plans, elevations, and perspectives for the canopy Hotel Project, which illustrate
changes to the project based on the comments we received from the Planning Board on January 26th.
The project is a 7-story boutique hotel, 80’-0” tall (92’-0” top of penthouse), and 87,683 gsf with 131
guestrooms. The increase in gsf since the building was approved resulted from three factors: (1) the overall
footprint of the building’s ground floor has decreased due to moving the western wall away from the property
line to accommodate windows in the guestrooms, (2) the overall footprint of the building from the second
floor up increased, and (3) the addition of a basement. Another change is in the programming of the ground
floor; there is no longer a restaurant tenant and the ground floor is dedicated to more flexible programming
for public and guest use, with back of house functions and mechanical / electrical rooms moved to the
basement level.
The ground floor will include a café and bar, a retreat area, public restrooms, fitness center with yoga studio,
meeting rooms and a garden patio positioned to engage the public realm and create transparency and
continuity along the street. The second floor will accommodate a vegetated roof terrace with glass balustrade
and series of standard and premium guest rooms. Floors 3-7 are dedicated to the guestroom program. Exterior
façade materials on the ground floor will be brick with a cast stone base and surround at the entry, glass and
aluminum storefront entry systems, folding glass walls at the patios, awnings and a backlit glass and metal
entry canopy in the vehicular drop-off circle. Other typical floors in the building will use brick with cast stone
window sills, composite metal and composite fiber panel system with punched insulated glass and aluminum
frame windows designed in the small pane style reminiscent of turn of the century brick and glass warehouse
construction.
In comparison, the approved project was also a 7-story boutique hotel, 80’-0” tall (92’-0” top of penthouse),
and 74,475 gsf with 123 guestrooms. The ground floor included a café and bar, a retreat area, public
restrooms, a garden patio, and approximately 2,000 sf of retail space. The second floor accommodated a
fitness room, boardroom, meeting room, roof terrace, and guest rooms. Floors 3-7 were also dedicated to
Phone: 607.379.9175 Email: whitham@whithamdesign.com 123 S. Cayuga Street Suite 201 Ithaca, NY 14850
guestroom program. Exterior façade materials on the ground floor were brick veneer, precast concrete,
aluminum storefront, folding glass walls, and a metal and backlit glass vehicular drop-off canopy. Other
typical floors used brick veneer, composite metal panel, and fiber cement lap siding and punched aluminum
“warehouse” style windows.
As an update to the project, please find attached the following documents:
1. Updated Drawing set including
• Site Layout, Ground, Second, Typical, and Seventh Floor Plans
• Views of the project
• Elevations, Materials Palette, and Signage details
In response to the comments we received from the Planning Board, the following changes have taken place:
1. A stone base has been added to the building. This stone base is the same material as windowsills,
which is a cast stone, Montecito. The stone base is 24” at entries and along Seneca Way, exposed to
view from public ways, and is 12” at all other facades.
2. A banding of pavers has been added to the driveway, accessed from E. State Street, in between the
asphalt and sidewalk. This banding is made up of granite, which will be flushed with the pavement.
3. A cornice element has been added to the mechanical screen to continue the horizontal banding from
the façade’s rhythm.
4. Guestrooms will no longer have direct access to the 2nd floor roof deck. Entry will be limited to a
single door from the elevator lobby, with a maximum of 49 occupants. See 2nd floor plan for
reference.
5. The blank façade seen from Seneca Way looking East has been addressed with inset panels using a
different material to create more differentiation in the façade.
6. The curved trellis at the ground floor has been revised to be rectilinear to better compliment the
building.
7. The team considered adding the buff brick back into the façade. However, the depth of the structure
along the spandrel beams would need to be substantially increased to carry the weight of the brick.
This would be cost prohibitive.
We look forward to presenting updates to the project at the 2/16 PRC meeting and the 2/23 Planning Board
meeting. If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Catherine De Almeida

APPEAL #3009 406 STEWART AVENUE
(JASON DEMAREST)
Appeal of Jason Demarest, architect for 406 Stewart Avenue, LLC, the owner of 406 Stewart Avenue,
for Area Variances from Section 325-8, Columns 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, and 14/15, Lot Area, Width at Street
Front, Side Yard, Other Side Yard, and Rear Yard, requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant proposes to replace a three-story apartment building at 406 Stewart Avenue that was
destroyed by a fire in 2015, by constructing a new apartment building at this location. However, to
off-set the costs of replacing the old building with a new building meeting today’s Building Code
requirements, the applicant proposes to increase the height and number of occupants in the new
building. The proposal includes replicating, in part, the original building’s non-conforming footprint,
adding a mezzanine level to the third floor, and increasing building occupancy from 6 persons to 11
persons. Because of these proposed modifications, the building cannot be replaced as-of-right, and
requires several Area Variances.
The property at 406 Stewart Avenue is deficient in width at street front and lot area. The lot has a street
width of 35.5 feet and an area of 1,810 SF; required is a street width of 40 feet and a lot area of 3,000
SF. In addition, the proposed building’s footprint will continue to have deficient yards. The original
building had a front yard setback of 0.8 feet. The proposed building will have a front yard setback of 5
feet; required is a 10-foot front yard setback. The original building had a side yard setback of 0.6 feet.
The proposed building’s side yard setback is 3.1 feet; required is a 10-foot side yard setback. The
original building’s other side yard setback was 0 feet. The proposed building’s other side yard is 1.8
feet; required is an other side yard of 5 feet. Finally, the original building’s rear yard setback was 0.5
feet. The proposed building’s rear yard setback is 0.7 feet; required is a 10-foot rear yard setback.
The property at 406 Stewart Avenue is located in the B-2d Zoning District where the proposed
apartment building is a permitted use, however, Section 325-38 requires variances to be granted before
a Building Permit can be issued.

From: Jason K. Demarest, AIA

Re: 406 Stewart Ave- Variance
On behalf of the Applicant, 406 Stewart Ave, LLC, please consider the following summary of the variance
request that has been submitted for the proposed project 406 Stewart Ave.
The owner is proposing to construct a building similar to the pre-existing, fire-damaged building that is now
demolished, except that an additional mezzanine story will be added and the building footprint will be
modified. The original building was three stories and contained 5 apartments with 6 occupants. The
proposed building will be 3 stories plus a mezzanine. It will contain 4 apartments with 7 bedrooms and up to
11 occupants.
Per City Code section 325-34, Restoration after damage, an in-kind, 3-story reconstruction is permitted
despite pre-existing violations for lot width at street (325-8, column 7), yard dimensions (325-8, columns 11-
15) and lot coverage (325-8, column 10). The proposed project includes a 4th level mezzanine, which enlarges
the building and requires variances for the above deficiencies. The project will comply with height regulations
(39’-10” vs 40’ maximum). Parking requirements are also satisfied because the use of the building is residential.
The lot exists and the width at the street will be unchanged by the project (35.6’). The proposed yard
deficiencies will be less than the original building on all sides (5.0’ on east vs. 0.8’ pre-existing; 3.1’ on north vs.
0.6’ pre-existing; 0.7’ on west vs. 0.5’ pre-existing; 1.8’ on south vs. 0’ pre-existing). The lot coverage by the
original building was 74%. The proposed building will only cover 71% of the lot.
The owner is seeking a variance to offset the additional expense of building a modern-day, code-compliant
building with the requisite safety features (sprinklers) that were not present in the original building. Likewise,
the costs of building new, which was not anticipated when the property was purchased (fire destroyed a viable
income property), are much higher than the original property value. To mitigate these costs the owner seeks
to maximize the revenue on the property by building a 40' tall structure with similar but reduced zoning
deficiencies. A reconstruction of the original 3-story building with a full attic within the gable roof would have
an equivalent massing as the proposed 3-story structure plus the mezzanine level within the gable roof.
The rear (west) lot line is proposed to be moved to provide NYS Building Code compliance for openings on
the west elevation. This lot line adjustment will be made pending the granting of a variance. The adjacent lot
at 116 Osmun Place will be impacted by this lot adjustment but this parcel has the same owner as 406 Stewart
Ave. Likewise, the lot line adjustment will not cause any zoning deficiencies for 116 Osmun Place which
currently complies with zoning.
We look forward to working with you. If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel
free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jason Demarest

APPEAL #3013 120 S. AURORA STREET
(ITHACA MARRIOTT)
Appeal of Mathew Jalazo for Hotel Ithaca, LLC, owners of 120 S. Aurora Street, for a variance from
Sign Ordinance, Section 272-6 B. (2), which allows a maximum of two wall signs per business in the
commercial zoning district and limits the size of each sign to a maximum of 50 SF.
Hotel Ithaca is currently constructing a multi-story Marriott Hotel at 120 S. Aurora Street at the east
end of the Ithaca Commons. On November 4, 2014, Hotel Ithaca was granted Sign Variances from
Section 272-6 B. (2), which provides that each business in a commercial district is limited to two
building (wall) signs and that each sign cannot be larger than 50 SF in area. In 2014, Hotel Ithaca
requested that the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) grant variances to erect six wall signs. The BZA
approved four of the six signs. Two of the approved signs are directional signs on the west side of the
hotel. The third approved sign advertises the hotel’s restaurant. The fourth approved sign included a
combination address and “name” sign, at the front entrance facing Aurora Street. At the hearing in
2014, the BZA denied Hotel Ithaca’s request to erect two additional “Marriott” name signs: one located
on the 10th floor facing Aurora Street and another located at the penthouse level facing Green Street.
The BZA did not grant variances for these signs, because the signs were significantly oversized.
Hotel Ithaca’s current Zoning Appeal to the BZA requests approval for three additional signs for the
hotel at 120 S. Aurora Street. Two of the proposed signs are wall signs depicting the “Marriott” name.
These signs will be located on the exterior of the building at the third-floor level. One sign will face
Aurora Street, while the other will face E. State Street (the Ithaca Commons). Each sign will measure
29.2 SF in area. The third proposed sign will be located on the exterior of the 10th-floor level and face
E. Green Street. This proposed sign will be 76 SF in area, which exceeds the Sign Ordinance’s 50-SF
maximum size threshold. Hotel Ithaca contends that the size and number of the requested signs are
appropriate, because of the hotel’s massing and location.
The property at 120 S. Aurora Street is in the CBD-140 Zoning District where wall signs are permitted;
however, Section 272-18 requires the applicant receive variances for the number and size of the
additional signs requested, before a Sign Permit can be issued.

APPEAL #3015 305 TAYLOR PLACE
(STREAM COLLABORATIVE)
Appeal of Noah Demarest, STREAM Collaborative, architect for Douglas and Jyoti Shire, owners of
305 Taylor Place, for a Special Temporary Permit allowing the construction of a one-bedroom
accessory apartment dwelling in an owner-occupied single-family home, as authorized under Zoning
Ordinance, Section 325-10, “Accessory apartments.”
The applicant proposes to construct a 906-SF accessory apartment in the basement level of the existing
two-story 3,452-SF single-family home, located at 305 Taylor Place. The property at 305 Taylor Place
is compliant with bulk, area, and setback regulations; and it has sufficient off-street parking for both
the 4-bedroom single-family home and the proposed accessory apartment. The entrance to the
accessory apartment will be at the back of the single-family home (east end).
The property at 305 Taylor Place is in the R-1a Zoning District where the installation of an accessory
apartment is an allowed accessory use. However, Section 325-10 requires the Board of Zoning Appeals
grant a Special Temporary Permit for the accessory use prior to the issuance of a Building Permit.

APPEAL #3016 424 DRYDEN ROAD
(DANIEL HIRTLER)
Appeal of Daniel Hirtler, architect for Angie and William Chen, owners of 424 Dryden Road, for Area
Variances from Zoning Ordinance, Section 325-20 F. (3) (a) [1], prohibiting off-street parking in a
required rear yard, and Section 325-45.2 B. (11) (a), requiring a 10-foot wide vegetative border at the
rear property line.
After receiving an Area Variance for a deficient front yard setback from the Board of Zoning Appeals
in 2015, the parcel at 424 Dryden Road was legally subdivided to create a second buildable lot, now
addressed 319 Oak Avenue. Prior to this Subdivision, the off-street parking for the multiple dwelling
at 424 Dryden Road was located on the west side of the property, close to Oak Avenue. However, the
former off-street parking location for 424 Dryden Road became part of the 319 Oak Avenue parcel
through Subdivision. Therefore, the owners must now locate these 5 required off-street parking spaces
within the boundary lines of the new 424 Dryden Road parcel. While the applicant has created a
Zoning-compliant design for 5 off-street parking spaces at 424 Dryden Road, the applicant does not
believe this design is practicable. Therefore, he proposes a more functional alternative design, even
though this design requires two Zoning Variances. Section 325-20 F. (3) (a) [1] prohibits parking in a
required rear yard. The applicant’s alternative proposal allows two cars to be parked in the required
rear yard. In addition, design requirements under Section 325-45.2 B. (11) (a) require a 10-foot wide
vegetative barrier at the rear property line. The alternative parking proposal provides a 5-foot wide
vegetative barrier.
The property at 424 Dryden Road is in a CR-2 Zoning District where 424 Dryden Road is a legal non-
conforming use, requiring 5 off-street parking spaces. However, Section 325-38 requires that variances
be granted before a Building Permit can be issued for the alternative parking plan.
