IMPACT ON PUBLIC HEALTH
The applicant has submitted a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA),dated September 2015
and prepared by GeoLogic NY,Inc.The assessment revealed the following recognized
environmental conditions in connection with the property:
Two USTs were removed from the Property in 1995.Petroleum contaminated soil was
encountered in the gasoline tank excavation.Soil was stockpiled on the Property.No
information was available on the presence and/or impacts to groundwater from these
USTs.It appears that the excavated soil from the tank removals is still located at the
Property.
A 275 gallon AST diesel was noted on the Property.The tank appears to be empty.No
secondary containment was noted for this AST.The AST is sitting directly on the ground.
Spillage,if it occurred,when pumping product from this tank,or placing product into this
tank,could have an adverse impact to the soil,soil vapor and/or groundwater quality of the
Property.
Eight drums were noted on pallets.Most of the drums appeared to have contained new
motor oil (based on labels)and appear to be empty.One drum appeared to be full,contents
unknown (no label).Some leakage (petroleum?)was noted and was impacting the ground
surface adjacent to one drum.Release of material(s)from these drums could have an
adverse impact to the soil,soil vapor and/or groundwater quality of the Property.
A self contained solvent based parts washer is used at the Property.The parts washer is
located inside,on a concrete floor.Cracks were noted in the floor in the vicinity of the parts
washer.Spillage of solvents associated with this parts washer could have an adverse impact
to the soil,soil vapor and/or groundwater quality of the Property.
Page 3 of 3
A Phase 2 ESA must be conducted to further investigate the RECs and determine if remediation
is required.The applicant intends to complete a Phase 2 ESA after the required Use Variance is
granted when there is more certainty that that project will move forward.
The Lead Agency recognizes that any determination regarding the need for site remediation,as
well as the standard to which clean up is required for the intended end use,is under the
jurisdiction of NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).If site development
requires that impacted soils be disturbed or reveals that other contamination exists on site,the
applicant is required to follow established protocols as dictated by NYSDEC and any other
applicable agencies.
The Lead Agency has required,and the applicant has agreed to provide a Phase 2 ESA and
remediation plan,if needed,before consideration of Preliminary Site Plan Approval.
No impact anticipated.
IMPACT ON GROWTH &CHARACTER OF COMMUNITY OR NEIGHBORHOOD
The project requires a Use Variance for creation of a parking area in the portion of the site that is in
the R 2a Zoning District.
The property has been in commercial use for nearly 50 years and is currently used for sales and
rentals of construction equipment,tools,and associated supplies,including outdoor storage of
goods and equipment.One building on site is also used as a retail and rental store with office,
storage,and warehouse area.The second building has an office area and is used for retail sales of
construction supplies.The remainder of the property is used for parking and outside storage of
large construction equipment and supplies.Currently,there is little vegetation on site with the
exception of approximately 0.43 acres of patches of lawn and scrubby vegetation around the south
periphery of the property.There is no visual barrier between the service yard and the residential
properties to the immediate south and west.
The project proposal would remove the existing gravel drive,storage yard,and parking,replacing it
with an asphalt drive with a turn around between the two buildings,and a parking lot in the south
area of the lot.The southeastern bay of the parking lot is proposed as porous asphalt.One large
caliper shade tree in the southeast corner of the property would be preserved,and new buffer
plantings would be provided along the south and east property lines,while the northern edge of the
parking lot would have landscaped beds.The applicant has also agreed to install a wooden privacy
fence at the perimeter of the property.
The Lead Agency finds that the proposed project greatly improves the existing interface between
the residential and commercial uses.The proposed use is more compatible with residential than the
existing use;and the project provides a substantial and attractive visual buffer for the adjacent
residents.
No impact anticipated.

RE: 416-418 East State Street —Supplemental Submittal
Dear Lisa:
On behalf of the Applicant, East State LLC, enclosed please find the following documents as a supplemental
package for the review of the Planning Board for the proposed 416 East State Street Project located at 416-
418 E. State Street:
1. Project Drawings
a. Proposed Landscape Plan
b. Revised Elevation
c. Details of Loading Dock Door
To compliment the revised package submitted on October 7, 2015, the additional drawings provided in this
supplemental submission describe further details about the project. These changes are in response to
comments we received from the Planning Board on October 27, and in response to concerns of the
immediate neighbors.
The Proposed Landscape Plan includes a connection from the Argos parking lot with a stairway and a
designated smoking area at the front of the property. A formal entrance zone has also been created by moving
the parking area 8’ away from the Main Entrance. Further details of the landscape palette are also provided.
Loading Dock Door details are also provided to describe the material quality of adding windows to the door
in order to allow more daylight to enter the space.
To address concerns about noise and smoking, the lounge programming, circulation, and egress have shifted
towards the southwestern corner of the property, away from residential neighbors and towards East State
Street and the Argos. Seth Waltz, President of AVL Designs, Incorporated, was hired by the Applicant to do
sound testing and develop recommendations to mitigate any noise that would result from the lounge
programming.
Phone: 607.379.9175 Email: whitham@whithamdesign.com 123 S. Cayuga Street Suite 201 Ithaca, NY 14850
Two neighborhood meetings were held this week, including one with our sound consultant. On Monday
night (11/9), Seth answered questions from neighbors, discussed his methods of testing, and performed his
testing of the space. On Tuesday midday (11/10), the Project Team held another neighborhood meeting on
site, where we discussed both the findings of the sound engineer and other project issues. The report of our
sound consultant will be completed and shared with you by Tuesday, November 17. In our discussions, he
agreed with the placement of the smoking area, as the existing building acts as a buffer for sound and traffic
along East State Street is also a sound buffer.
We look forward to working with you and presenting the project at the November Planning Board meeting.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Scott Whitham

APPEAL #2991 416-418 EAST STATE STREET
(BEN ROSENBLUM)
Appeal of Ben Rosenblum, owner of 416-418 East State Street, for Area Variances from Section 325-
8, Columns 10, 12, and 13, Percentage of Lot Coverage, Side Yard, and Other Side Yard, requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant purposes to renovate the existing building at 416-418 East State Street, which is now
partially occupied. One apartment occupies the second floor and a portion of the first floor is used as
office space. In the past, the major portion of the first floor space was used as a printing plant and is
now vacant. The applicant proposes to renovate this space for a new 800-SF bar and create an
additional office spaces. In order to convert the unoccupied space on the first floor to the new permitted
uses, the applicant must obtain variances for existing deficiencies. The property at 416-418 has existing
deficiencies pertaining to lot coverage, side yard, and other side yard setbacks. Percentage of lot
coverage is 60%; allowed is 50%. The building also is deficient in side yard and other side yard
setbacks. The side yard to the west of the building is 0.02 feet; required is 10 feet. The other side yard
to the east of the building is 0.1 feet; required is 5 feet.
The new bar, the office spaces, and the apartment require 32 off-street parking spaces. There is one
space for handicapped parking and a space reserved for the apartment in the front yard of 416-418 East
State Street. The applicant states a Memorandum of Agreement is being signed with Argos Inn at 408
East State Street, a contiguous property west of 416-18 East State Street, where the 31 spaces needed
for the bar and office uses at 416-18 East State Street can be met at the Argos Inn under a shared
parking agreement.
The property at 416-418 East State Street is in a B-4 Zoning District where the proposed bar, office
space, and apartment space are permitted. However, Section 325-38 requires that variances be granted
before a Building Permit is issued.

The following description outlines the concerns that relate to development restrictions, the
proposed development, and reason for the appeal at 416-418 E. State St.:
The proposed development and renovation for the property located at 416-418 E. State St. is for a
mixed use building to include a speak-easy lounge (which has shifted towards the front of the
property), existing and expanded oce space, one apartment, and unoccupied storage as an
accessory use to the lounge and oce spaces. The exterior landscape will also be renovated to
meet ADA Access requirements. The front yard will have a stripped parking lot with a handicapped
space, and a handicapped accessible path for access to the front entry of the building. The
landscape will be replanted with new plants. An easement agreement is being signed between the
owner of Argos Inn and of 416-418 E. State Street.
The existing building is legally non-conforming for oce and light industrial uses. Therefore, the
redevelopment will include a change of use for large portions of the building. All proposed uses are
permitted as of right with the B-4 zoning district in which the building resides. Likewise, the
building and property complies with zoning for lot size, width at street, number of stories, building
height, front and rear yards, and minimum building height.
A “Zoning Determination” was made by the Director of Zoning Administration, Phyllis Radke, for the
property at 416-418 E. State St. Over the years, the building was expanded in size and with new
uses that were not approved, or have been made illegal through the sale of the adjacent parcel at
406-410 E State St. As a result, the property now has zoning deciencies in relation to both side
yard setbacks and lot coverage (see Site Plan). In addition, depending on any use in the proposed
development, the property is limited in parking. However, the proposed development for the
property includes provisions to satisfy all parking requirements with shared parking, and therefore,
does not need a parking variance. A Memorandum of Agreement is being signed between East
State LLC and the Unity Inn, LLC. For the lounge (”The Printing Press”), 16 parking spaces will be
reserved for patrons from 9 PM to 1:30 AM. For the Oce, 15 parking spaces will be reserved for
patrons from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. A variance is being sought to permit the existing zoning
deciencies.
The side yard setback on the east is decient for less than 18 linear feet of the entire east building
face, which is just over 112 linear feet, with a least setback dimension of +/-3.6’. A residential
building is located a little over 11’ from the building along the east side. The side yard setback on
the west is as small as +/-0.2’ and increases to +/-1.1’ at the northwest corner. The entire west
façade abuts the parking lot for the Argos Inn at 406-410 E State St. The development proposal
includes a permanent easement along the west side to increase the eective setback for potential
building code purposes (increased openings).
The lot coverage of the existing building is currently 60% of the lot area whereas 50% is the
maximum allowed. No enlargement of the building, footprint or height, is planned at this time.

RE: 416-418 East State Street—Updated Submission
Dear City of Ithaca Board of Zoning Appeals:
On behalf of the applicant, East State LLC, we are delighted to present
updated drawings of the Printing Press for the review of the Board of
Zoning Appeals. Attached please find the following documents, which
constitute an updated submittal packet for this Project:
1. A Vision Statement describing the Printing Press and the applicant’s
vision for the space
2. Code Analysis Plans (revised)
3. Combined Site, Zoning & Landscape Plan (revised)
4. Parking Diagram (revised)
The former printing-press cinderblock architectural section of the
building, which operated through the 1960s, has not had any upkeep and
is currently in a dilapidated state with crumbling concrete and peeling
paint. Allowing this building to remain in this condition does little to
support the substantial investments that neighbors have made in their
properties in the East Hill Historic District. The open floor plan and space
provided by this part of the structure lends itself to a gathering space
and public venue, which the owner, East State LLC, envisions as a small,
modest, intimate bar and lounge (not a nightclub or concert venue, as
it has in some instances been misinterpreted), similar in quality to the
Argos Inn. In addition there will be office spaced added. Zoned as B-4, the
property is contiguous to both the uphill residential zone and the
downhill downtown zone. Accordingly, the building is proposed as a
mix of uses to transition between the two areas with the lounge on the
downhill side and office closer to the residential zone.

Zoning
The existing building is legally non-conforming for office and light
industrial uses. Therefore, the redevelopment will include a change of
use for large portions of the building. All proposed uses are permitted as
of right with the B-4 zoning district in which the building resides. The
property currently has zoning deficiencies in relation to both side yard
setbacks and lot coverage resulting from past use and development of
the property and building. In addition, depending on the uses in the
proposed development, the property is limited in parking. However, the
proposed development for the property includes provisions to satisfy all
parking requirements with shared parking, and therefore, does not need
a parking variance. This arrangement is described in the following
section and in the attached drawings on page 4.
Parking
As per Section 325-20(D)3, Off-Street Parking Ordinance, this Project will
provide the required maximum number of off-street parking spaces. The
shared parking proposal to accommodate the adaptive reuse of the
building at 416-418 E. State has shifted to the use of the neighboring
Argos parking lot. The owners of Argos Inn and of 416-418 E. State Street
have drafted and agreed to the following preliminary terms:
- 8AM-4PM: Shared parking in Argos assigned to 416 E. State Offices
- 4PM-9PM: Parking in the Argos Inn / Bar Argos lot will be to patrons
of the Bar Argos
- 9PM-1:30AM: Parking will be provided for 416 E. State Lounge
The attached diagram of uses and shared parking between the two
properties describes this allocation of shared parking between the Argos
and 416-418 E. State Street.
Two parking spaces, one for ADA and another dedicated to the existing
apartment, will remain on-site. The existing parking area will be
formalized to provide safer access to and from the Property. An ADA
compliant path is also provided, taking advantage of the existing grade
on Site. The landing at the front of the property and connecting to
the ADA path will be expanded to accommodate the 5’ turning circle
required for ADA access.
Phone: 607.379.9175 Email: whitham@whithamdesign.com123 S. Cayuga Street Suite 201 Ithaca, NY
Landscape
The proposed landscape design aims to add aesthetic value and greater
functionality to the existing front and side yards. As the property
exists, a narrow section of land along the east side of the building
makes it deficient in setback requirements from the property line. A 3-car
parking area, lawn area, and concrete path to the south and east
entrances are located in the front of the property connecting to East
State Street / MLK Jr. Avenue. The front entrance to the building is
currently not ADA accessible.
The goals of the design are to: 1) reinforce the existing pedestrian and
vehicular routes, creating safer access to the Site and building; 2)
provide visual screening between the property and adjacent residential
properties; 3) provide aesthetic value to a degrading Site; and 4) provide
sound attenuation between the Site and surrounding neighborhood.
The design intends to increase pedestrian and vehicular safety. Shared
parking is provided via the Argos parking lot, and the existing parking
area is formalized with striping and provides a designated handicapped
parking space. With the renovation of the parking area, cars leaving the
property are able to turn around and exit facing forward.
The proposed ADA compliant path from the parking area is at a slope of
7.8%, taking advantage of the existing topography rather than
installing a railed ramp. The two existing concrete walkways
perpendicular to the E. State Street sidewalk maintain pedestrian access
to the two entrances on the south and east side of the building. Shrubs
and perennials will be planted in beds along the pedestrian walkways
and adjacent to the building. The area on the southeast side of the
property will be planted to provide visual screening and sound
attenuation for the adjacent properties. All but two existing street
trees will remain, which are invasive Norway Maples. At the rear of the
property, the existing established vegetation on the northeast area will
remain in order to not disturb the steep slope. The design and plant
selection is intended to absorb, deflect, and refract sound, providing
sound barriers in order to ensure any activity on the Site complies with
the City of Ithaca’s Noise Ordinance.

project at your December meeting. If you have any questions or require
additional information, please feel free to contact me.

RE: 416-418 East State Street —Supplemental Submittal
Dear City of Ithaca Board of Zoning Appeals:
On behalf of the Applicant, East State LLC, enclosed please find the following documents as a supplemental
package for the review of the Planning Board for the proposed 416 East State Street Project located at 416-
418 E. State Street:
1. Project Drawings
a. Proposed Landscape Plan
b. Revised Elevation
c. Details of Loading Dock Door
To compliment the revised package submitted on October 7, 2015, the additional drawings provided in this
supplemental submission describe further details about the project. These changes are in response to
comments we received from the Planning Board on October 27 after our submission, and in response to
concerns of the immediate neighbors.
The Proposed Landscape Plan includes a connection from the Argos parking lot with a stairway and a
designated smoking area at the front of the property. A formal entrance zone has also been created by moving
the parking area 8’ away from the Main Entrance. Further details of the landscape palette are also provided.
Loading Dock Door details are also provided to describe the material quality of adding windows to the door
in order to allow more daylight to enter the space.
To address concerns about noise and smoking, the lounge programming, circulation, and egress have shifted
towards the southwestern corner of the property, away from residential neighbors and towards East State
Street and the Argos. Seth Waltz, President of AVL Designs, Incorporated, was hired by the Applicant to do
sound testing and develop recommendations to mitigate any noise that would result from the lounge
programming.
Two neighborhood meetings were held this week, including one with our sound consultant. On Monday
night (11/9), Seth answered questions from neighbors, discussed his methods of testing, and performed his
testing of the space. On Tuesday midday (11/10), the Project Team held another neighborhood meeting on
Phone: 607.379.9175 Email: whitham@whithamdesign.com 123 S. Cayuga Street Suite 201 Ithaca, NY 14850
site, where we discussed both the findings of the sound engineer and other project issues. The report of our
sound consultant will be completed and shared with you by Tuesday, November 17. In our discussions, he
agreed with the placement of the smoking area, as the existing building acts as a buffer for sound and traffic
along East State Street is also a sound buffer.
We look forward to working with you and presenting the project at the December BZA meeting. If you have
any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Scott Whitham

LOUNGE VISION STATEMENT
Executive Summary
416 East State Street is adjacent to the recently opened Argos Inn, at 408 East State Street, a conversion of the
historic McCormick-Cowdry Mansion into an inn with 10 guest rooms, an apartment for the inn manager, a
public bar and lounge, called Bar Argos, and a conference room. The front and middle portion of the warehouse
building at 416 East State Street will be occupied as a bar and lounge, with the working name Printing Press,
and will be complementary to the adjacent Argos Inn. Pedestrian and vehicular access to both properties, as
well as landscaping will further connect the adjacent properties.

Background
In the late 1940s the property 416-418 East State Street was owned by entrepreneur and media executive Roy
H. Park, who expanded the property to include his personal office. Around that time, Roy H. Park also owned
408 East State Street, the current location of the adjacent Argos Inn, so a symbiotic relationship between the
two properties has existing for much of the past 50 years. In the early 1950s 416-418 East State Street was
further expanded with the warehouse toward the rear of the property. 416 East State Street at this time also
housed Roy H. Park’s new venture with Duncan Hines, called Hines-Park Foods, a food company largely
known for its popular product at the time, the Duncan Hines Cake Mix. Using money made from Hines-Park
Foods and a later executive position at Proctor and Gamble, Roy H. Park would later found Park
Communications, owner of a number of television and radio stations and publications. In 1954, the warehouse,
toward the rear of the site, was occupied by the Upstate Press, a local newspaper press. Arnold Printing, still in
existence today on Green Street, later occupied the warehouse in the 1960s.

Bar and Lounge Vision
The lounge will build upon the history of the site as a former printing house. The new lounge, with the working
name Printing Press, will emphasize details from the existing warehouse and recall industrial printing
equipment and other industrial machinery. It will serve as a complement to the adjacent Argos Inn. While the
Argos recalls the interiors of a historic mansion from the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Printing Press will
recall a more industrial aesthetic from the 1940s and 1950s, also emphasizing historic details. We anticipate the
customers at the lounge to be both guests from the Argos Inn as well as locals from Ithaca and the surrounding
area. The typical customer at the Bar Argos ranges from Cornell grad students, to young professionals, to
professors and locals. We expect the same at the Printing Press. The vibe will be a place to relax in a
comfortable atmosphere, meet up with a group of friends, and enjoy a nice cocktail, local cider or glass of wine,
or craft beer. There will also be small plates such as local cheese and charcuterie.

Left: 19th Century Printing Press. Right: 416 East State St. Warehouse, formerly a printing shop, current condition.
There is a long history of speakeasies and cocktail lounges in New York City and beyond that are designed to
build upon existing historic details and remain respectful of the surrounding neighborhood. Ciro’s, in the image
below, for example in Tampa, Florida, specifically emphasizes “speaking easy” both within and outside of the
establishment. Apotheke, on the next page, emphasizes as secret entrance and very little signage. The
renovation of the Printing Press Lounge at 416 East State Street will be largely interior. The outside of the
building will change very little, beyond restoring the façade, putting on a new coat of paint, and adding
additional landscape while maintaining existing trees. Signage will be kept to a minimum to emphasize the
speakeasy warehouse aesthetic. The experience as a whole serves to recall the past of Roy H. Park and the
former printing press use of the building in the 1940s and 50s when the warehouse was first built.

Appeal of Kurt Martin, owner of 314 Park Place, for Area Variances from Section 325-8, Columns 4,
6, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14/15, Parking, Lot Size, Percentage of Lot Coverage, Front Yard, Side Yard,
Other Side Yard, and Rear Yard, respectively, requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant proposes to convert an existing one-family dwelling at 314 Park Place to a two-family
dwelling, having two bedrooms in each unit. This property has a number of existing area deficiencies,
but only the deficiency for off-street parking will increase. The property does not meet the
requirements of Section 325-8, Column 4 (Off-Street Parking). As a single-family home, the required
off-street parking for the existing three-bedroom house is one space, but the property has no off-street
parking spaces. The proposed two-family dwelling needs two parking spaces.
The property at 314 Park Place also has a number of existing deficiencies that will not be increased by
the applicant’s proposal. The property does not meet the requirements of:
Column 6, Lot Area Lot size is 1,864 SF; required is 3,000 SF.
Column 10, Lot Coverage Maximum percentage of lot coverage is 35%; lot coverage is 65.8%.
Column 11, Front Yard Front yard is 4’2”; required is 10’.
Column 12, Side Yard Side yard is 3’8”; required is 10’.
Column 13, Other Side Yard Other side yard is 3’5”; required is 5’.
Column 14/15, Rear Yard Rear yard is minus 0.3’; required is 20’.
The property at 314 Park Place is in an R-2b Zoning District, where the proposed use is permitted.
However, Section 325-38 requires that variances be granted before a Building Permit is issued.
