Box 14 Ithaca, NY 14851-0014 Dear Mr. Hull: Enclosed are the resolutions adopted by the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission, (ILPC) at the meeting held Thursday, December 13, 2001 and a completed copy of the Long Environmental Assessment Form, (LEAF), Parts I, II and III, upon which the ILPC based its declaration of positive impact. Notice of the positive declaration has been filed in accordance with requirements of the City of Ithaca Municipal Code, Chapter 176, Environmental Quality Review, (CEQR). Draft Environmental Impact Statement, DEIS The determination of a positive impact sets in motion a process that, in addition to requirements of the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Ordinance,must also meet requirements of the City Environmental Quality Review Ordinance. The next step is the preparation of a draft Environmental Impact Statement addressing potential impacts identified in the LEAF. Impacts identified in the LEAF were limited to impacts on visual and historic resources. The DEIS may be prepared either by the applicant or by the lead agency. Attached is a list from CEQR indicating minimum content of the DEIS. As part of this process the ILPC will consider whether or not denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness causes the property owner an economic hardship. Information necessary for the ILPC to make a determination of hardship will also be part of the DEIS. Enclosed is a list of information required by the ILPC to evaluate the hardship. Upon completion the lead agency, ILPC,makes a determination about whether the DEIS is "adequate for public review". The lead agency must file notice of completion and adequacy in accordance with the requirements of environmental law. The minimum public comment period starting from notice of completion is 30 days. Final Environmental Impact Statement, FEIS The lead agency is responsible for preparation of the Final Environmental Impact Statement, FEIS, which includes the DEIS, substantive comments raised by the public and response to public comment from the lead agency. Once submitted the lead agency must file notice of completion in accordance with requirements of CEQR. There is a required 10 day comment period following the notice of completion. The ILPC then has up to 30 days to make its final decision regarding the application. over "An Equal Opportunity Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification." CO
