NARRATIVE
401 Adams St, Ithaca, NY 14550
Freestanding sign 24" x 24' on 8 -ft single steel post
Permanent
None to site
Attached
Tax Map provided; no survey was found
Photo of site with proposed sign location attached
Certificate attached
Although the Sciencenter is visible from the north along Rt 13, many cars and buses arriving
from the south are confused by the awkward intersection at Rt. 13 and Third St (Papa Johns
area). See map in Figure 1.
Our preferred route is for cars to turn left on Franklin St (directly to the Sciencenter) but we
want buses to continue straight on Third to Adams and turn left (to our bus parking area and
school group entrance). NOTE: These routes are marked by existing signs.
However. when buses on Adams St get to First St. there is no sign pointing them to continue
straight across to Alice Miller Way and our bus Parking lane. Similarly, for cars that didn't turn
immediately left on Franklin St, there is no indication that the Sciencenter is one block to the
left (especially when tree foliage is fully out in the summer).
Therefore, we are requesting permission to install a sign at 401 Adams St that directs buses
and cars appropriately, which will reduce neighborhood traffic by reducing confused cars and
buses looking for the correct entrance to the Sciencenter.
A map and photo of the area and sign design are shown below in Figures 1, 2, and 3 below.
INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
After approval. the Sciencenter will do the following-
• Work with the City to locate the exact location for the sign
o Have Dig Safely NY contacted to mark underground utilities
• Purchase the sign and post
• Install the sign
• Maintain the sign

CONTACT INFORMATION
Charlie Trautmann, outgoing executive director of the Sclencenter, is applying for the sign
permit and will attend the Board of Public Works meeting on March 13 to answer any
questions. Dean Briere, Incoming executive director, will follow through with the application
and oversee installation by the Sciencenter's staff.

Public Art Commission Request for Approval of Ithaca Youth Bureau Building as a
Potential Mural Location
In 2010, the City's Public Art Commission (PAC) created a mural and street art program to beautify
blank walls within the city while providing local artists from all sections of the community an
opportunity to showcase their work. The Board of Public Works has approved several City -owned
properties as potential mural locations, and the PAC is requesting that the Board add the Ithaca
Youth Bureau building to this list of pre -approved sites.
The Ithaca Youth Bureau (IYB) contacted the PAC about the possibility of murals on the exterior of
their building. Murals on the building would be highly visible to users of Stewart Park and the
Cayuga Waterfront Trail as well as those traveling on Route 13. The IYB would like to brighten up
the building and make it look more kid- and community -friendly. There are upcoming grant
opportunities to fund a mural on one or more sides of the building, and both the IYB and the PAC
would like to see the building added to the list of potential mural sites approved by the Board in
order to take advantage of these opportunities.
Images of the IYB building and a memo from IYB Director Liz Klohmann are attached for your
review. If you have any questions, please contact me at 274-6560 or

The Ithaca Youth Bureau is interested in having one or more murals painted on the sides of our building to
help brighten it up and look more kid and community friendly. The side that faces the Water Front Trail and
the side that faces Rt. 13 are spots where art would be easily seen by the public.
We would like to work with the Public Art Committee to find artists and designs that would be appropriate
for the Youth Bureau building. Please let me know if there are certain requirements or more that I should do.

Hi Kathy,
Thanks for your response regarding my water and sewer bill, as you seem to understand, this is a
hardship, and is above normal billing by nearly $1000.
All I am asking for is for the City of Ithaca BPW to consider granting a specified time period of
perhaps 9 months which would make it possible for us to pay this bill, by paying over time, but without
the added burden of about $150 in penalty fees added for late payment.
Thank you for adding my request to the Ithaca BPW agenda, I will put the 3/13, 4:45pm meeting on
my calendar and plan to attend.
Thanks again.

Hi Kathy and all.
I've just spoke with Mr. Semp of 105-07 E York St. On 2/2 when his latest meter read was taken, it resulted in a
consumption of 115 units which is more than 5x the normal. The 2/20/17 bill attached here, is $1,418.45. Mr. Semp is
asking for the opportunity to make interest free payments on the $1,418.45 and I told him that is a BPW decision; Kathy
he will be calling you.
As a result of the 2/2 read, an Out of Range letter was sent out. He states that he has worked with the water department
and has resolved the issue the caused the high read. FYI: Mr. Semp's payment history shows timely payments in the

Fence along Fall Creek Drive — Proposed Resolution
WHEREAS, Cornell University proposes erection of a fence attaching to an existing stone wall
along Fall Creek Drive; and
WHEREAS, the stone wall is relatively low with a wide, flat top, from which people enjoy views
of the gorge, but also unintentionally invites people to climb, stand or rest on it posing safety
and welfare concerns related to falls into the gorge; and
WHEREAS, although ownership of the land on which the stone wall sits is not clear, and may
rest with an unknown third party, the City and Cornell as adjacent property owners to the
unclaimed property (City as owner of the Fall Creek Drive right of way and Cornell as owner of
the adjacent parcel) are interested in pursuing an agreement to enable Cornell to erect the
fence; and
WHEREAS, as part of its gorge stewardship, Cornell asked the City for permission to erect, on
a voluntary basis, a fence at the stonewall to deter public access to the Cornell Gorge Parcel
from the Stone Wall and Cornell obtained from the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation
Commission a Certificate of Appropriateness on April 14, 2015 to construct a black metal
picket fence with finials on top of the stone wall; and
WHEREAS, City staff are supportive of Cornell's voluntary erection of a fence at the stone
wall, and are in agreement that the fencewill serve mutual public health, safety and welfare
interests; and
WHEREAS, to the extent City Code Chapter 170 "Use of City Real Property" applies, the
Board supports entry into an agreement with Cornell University to authorize installation of the
fence; and

MEMORANDUM
Board of Public Works
Office of the City Attorney
March 9, 2017
Telephone: 607/274-6504
Fax: 607/274-6507
Resolution to authorize license to Cornell for erection of fence on Fall Creek
Drive
Cornell University has proposed erection of a fence attaching to an existing stone wall along Fall
Creek Drive. The stone wall sits on the edge of a gorge wall that is eroding. The eroding
condition of the gorge, the gorge view and stone wall pose a public safety hazard in that the
public is not effectively deterred from viewing the gorge from such stone wall. Cornell and the
City agree that the fence would address these concerns by preventing climbing, standing, or
sitting on the stone wall, thereby preventing falls into the gorge from this section of Fall Creek
Drive.
Ownership of the land on which the stone wall sits is not clear, and may rest with an unknown
third party. As such, this agreement is framed as a license between the two adjacent property
owners (City as owner of the Fall Creek Drive right of way and Cornell as owner of the adjacent
parcel) to allow Cornell to erect the fence.
The proposed fence was approved for a Certificate of Appropriateness by the Ithaca Landmarks
Preservation Committee on April 14, 2015

Memorandum of Understanding
Between the City of Ithaca and Cornell University
Concerning
A Certain Stone Wall and Proposed Fence on the
Southerly Side of Fall Creek Drive in the City of Ithaca
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is made as of the day
of 2017 by and between the City of Ithaca ("City") of City Hall, 108 East
Green Street, Ithaca, NY 14850, Attention: Superintendent of Public Works, and
Cornell University ("Cornell") of 116 Humphreys Service Building, _ Dryden
Road, Ithaca, NY 14850, Attention: Director of Facilities Management (IPP -
Facilities); and
Whereas, Fall Creek Drive is a public street, owned and maintained by the
City and located within the Cornell Heights Historic District (designated in 1989
under the City of Ithaca Municipal Code §228-3, and also listed on the New York
State and National Registers of Historic Places in 1989); and
Whereas, Cornell owns a parcel of land identified as Tax Parcel # 30 —1-1
in the City whose northerly boundary in the vicinity of Fall Creek Drive was the
top of the northerly bank of the gorge or rim of the gorge ("Gorge Rim") as it
existed in the 191h century, above Fall Creek ("Cornell Gorge Parcel"), which Gorge
Rim has gradually moved northward due to erosion while the Cornell Gorge
Parcel's property line remains spatially in its historic location; and
Whereas, the portion of Fall Creek Drive that is relevant to this MOU lies at
the bend in Fall Creek Drive where its northeasterly terminus runs South from
Thurston Avenue and turns at roughly a 90 -degree angle to the West and
continues westerly more or less parallel with Fall Creek Gorge for some distance
("Fall Creek Drive"); and
Whereas, there is a stone wall located along Fall Creek Drive in the area
where Fall Creek Drive turns from South to West, the relevant part of which stone
wall being the portion that runs westerly for some distance parallel with Fall
Creek Drive (the "Stone Wall"); and
Whereas, the present course of Fall Creek Drive in the relevant area was
the result of various street and lot changes made early in the 20th Century and the
Stone Wall was likely built around that time or shortly thereafter; and
Whereas, it is not known for certain who built the Sstone Wwalli7 heweyeF
Ot war, likes • the City beeausee the 4_ARP_ Wa it (a) abuts the paving of a public
street, Fall Creek Drive, (b) acts as an old-style guard rail to guide south -bound
vehicles from Thurston Avenue to the right (West) instead of inadvertently driving
straight toward the Fall Creek Gorge without any intervening obstacle, FnakiRg
a part of the facilities of the public street, and (c) is
not located within the Cornell Gorge Parcel
. The City
constructed a metal guide rail just to the North side of the Stone Wall within the
past 10 years approximately; and
Whereas, when it was built, the Stone Wall was likely placed at some small
distance North of the Gorge Rim as it then existed, but decades of weather and
water run-off from Fall Creek Drive and other drainage systems in that area have
eroded and moved the Gorge Rim further North and continued leave a high, steep
drop-off to the creek bed below and also leave little or no suitable terrain for the
foundation of any fence to be placed between the Stone Wall and the top of the
Gorge Rim; and
Whereas, the Stone Wall is relatively low and has a wide, relatively flat top,
that allows people to enjoy views from the Stone Wall, but also allows people to
climb on top of the Stone Wall, and stand, sit or lie down on it (collectively
"Climbing on the Stone Wall"), which actions have often been observed by Cornell
and City employees; and
Whereas, the parties agree that viewing Fall Creek Gorge from the Stone
Wall serves a public purpose but that Climbing on the Stone Wall is not in the
interest of public health, safety and welfare and has the potential to endanger
and seriously harm individuals who may fall by accident or otherwise into the
gorge and City and other municipal first responders attempting to rescue or
recover individuals who have fallen; and
Whereas, as part of its gorge stewardship, Cornell asked the City for
permission to erect, on a voluntary basis, a fence at the Stone Wall to deter public
access to the Cornell Gorge Parcel from the Stone Wall; and
Whereas, the City's Department of Public Works determines it is in the
interest of public health, safety and welfare for the City to grant Cornell
permission to erect, on a voluntary basis, a fence at the Stone Wall; and
Whereas, Cornell obtained from the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation
Commission a Certificate of Appropriateness on April 14, 2015 to construct a
black metal picket fence with finials (the "Fence") on top of the Stone Wall (the
location being designated 323 Fall Creek Drive) (the "Location"), a copy of which
is attached as Exhibit A hereto; and
NOW THEREFORE, the City is willing to allow Cornell to erect the Fence at
the Location upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Memorandum of
Understanding ("MOU"):
1 The City hereby grants a license to Cornell to construct, keep and
maintain, and from time to time, to repair or replace, the Fence in the
Location, at Cornell's sole cost and expense for a term of thirty (30yrs)
years. This grant shall include initially and from time to time thereafter,
a temporary license to additional space along Fall Creek Drive for
construction or repair space, to be arranged and agreed upon between
the parties in advance of any such temporary usage.
2 Cornell agrees to construct, keep and maintain the Fence and the
Fence's points of attachment to the Stone Wall in a structurally sound
and cosmetically presentable condition for the term of this MOU.
Cornell agrees to obtain any building permit or other permits that are
applicable to initial construction and installation and any future repair or
replacement, at its sole cost and expense. Cornell may repair or replace
the Fence with the same type of Fence or with a fence that is different in
appearance or materials, provided that Cornell obtains approval, if
applicable, for the different fence from the City's Board of Public Works
and the Ithaca Landmarks Commission or successor municipal agencies,
if any. Henceforth the term "Fence" shall include any subsequent
different fence unless a contrary meaning is apparent.
4
3 The Parties agree that the Fence shall be the responsibility and property
of Cornell for the duration of this MOU and no rights in the Fence may
be obtained by the City by adverse possession or use or otherwise
without due process of law, except as provided herein.
4 The Parties agree that the license granted by the City is not an interest
in real property and no rights in real property are granted by the City in
or to the Stone Wall and the ground beneath it and none may be
obtained by Cornell by adverse possession, necessity, use, or otherwise.
5 Prior to initial construction and installation and subsequently in the
event Cornell plans to perform maintenance, repair, or replacement of
the Fence, Cornell shall in each instance notify the City in writing at least
fifteen (15) days in advance of the planned work to coordinate any
street or lane closure, caution signage, or other matters of concern to
the Parties, In the case of emergency, Cornell may give any notice that
is feasible such as by telephone call or email and in case advance notice
is not feasible, then notice after -the -fact shall be given as soon as
practicable.
6 When from time to time the City needs
to accomplish the City's public works and services, including but not
limited to maintaining, repairing or replacing the Stone Wall, snow-
plowing, road repaving, sidewalk and guide rail work, garbage and
:a.
recycling pick-up, and repairing or replacing public utilities and storm
water facilities in the area of the Fence, the City agrees to use
reasonable care (and to require the same of its contractors) in the
execution of its public works and services to safeguard the Fence from
damage or loss
public work, to reinstall it in the same or better condition@ram
OF Feplaee any paFt of the FPRcP that da

P the camp r I., 4pr ,.,...a:+',.. If the Fence or any part of it has to be
removed temporarily to accomplish the work, then, if practicable under
the circumstances (which clause shall modify the full remainder of this
sentence), the City shall give Cornell at least fifteen (15) days advance
written noticei4 to enable Cornell to provide secure, temporary
fencing of approximately the same dimensions and provided with secure
anchorage so as to serve the same purpose and function as the Fence
whenever the site is not being actively worked on and attended by City
employees or contractors, including nights and weekends.
7 Nothing in this MOU shall require Cornell to maintain, repair, or replace
the Stone Wall beyond using reasonable care in attaching and in the
course of maintaining, repairing and replacing the Fence, except as
provided by this MOU. Nothing in this MOU shall require the City to
maintain, repair, or replace the Stone Wall
may be required for continued attachment of the Fence^��+ ,s
PFevided by this PAIGII. Nonetheless the parties recognize the
potentially precarious nature of the Location due to erosion. They may
(and are encouraged), but are not required, to give each other notice of
changes in natural or human-made conditions that they may notice
affecting the Stone Wall or the Fence. The parties agree to discuss from
time to time as needed any measures or cooperative actions that would
be mutually beneficial to maintaining or prolonging the Stone Wall and
Fence. Nonetheless, the Parties also recognize that despite reasonable
efforts, the time may come when it is no longer physically feasible or
practical or economical to maintain either or both the Fence or the
Stone Wall due to the progress of natural conditions at the site or
accidental damage (such as from a vehicle severely damaging one or
both) and agree to explore alternatives that would be in the interest of
the public health, safety, and welfare and Cornell's gorge stewardship.
8 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this MOU shall require
Cornell to maintain the Fence in perpetuity and Cornell's undertaking
herein is voluntary. Cornell may relinquish its right to maintain the
Fence by giving one -hundred -twenty (120) days advance written notice
("Notice of Relinquishment") to the City, at the end of which time
Cornell shall dismantle and remove the Fence and repair cosmetically
the points of attachment of the Fence to the Stone Wall or elsewhere,
n
unless Cornell has received, at least thirty (30) days before the
expiration of the Notice of Relinquishment, a written notice from the
City that the City wishes to take over the Fence and become solely
responsible for the Fence at its sole cost and expense ("Notice of Take
Over"). Upon delivery of a Notice of Take Over from the City, the Fence
shall become the property of the City and this MOU shall terminate.
9 In the event that Cornell is not maintaining the Fence in a structurally
sound or cosmetically presentable condition as required herein, the City
may give one -hundred -twenty (120) days advance written notice,
specifying the ways in which the Fence is not structurally sound or
cosmetically presentable to Cornell to remedy the Fence's condition
("Notice to Remedy"). Before the end of the Notice to Remedy period,
Cornell agrees to and shall have remedied the condition unless either (a)
weather conditions or conditions affecting letting of contracts or
obtaining labor and materials, or other conditions beyond Cornell's
reasonable control cause delay in which case Cornell shall have more
than 120 days if it notifies the City of the delay and is proceeding
diligently and in good faith and completes the work to remedy within a
reasonable time thereafter; OR (b) Cornell gives the City a Notice of
Relinquishment at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the
Notice to Remedy, in which latter case either (i) Cornell shall dismantle
and remove the Fence and repair cosmetically the points of attachment
of the Fence within not less than ninety (90) or more than one hundred
eighty (180) days from Cornell's Notice of Relinquishment in which case
this MOU shall terminate effective upon removal and cosmetic repair of
points of attachment; OR (ii) the City gives Cornell a Notice of Take Over
within ninety days (90) days of Cornell's Notice of Relinquishment, in
which case the Fence shall become the property of the City and this
MOU shall terminate.
10 In the event Cornell fails or refuses to maintain the Fence after Notice to
Remedy and fails or refuses to give its Notice of Relinquishment, then
the City may either (a) give Notice of Take Over, or (b) dismantle and
remove the Fence and dispose of it as it may see fit as freely as if the
Fence were City property and send Cornell an invoice for the City's
expenses for removal and disposal including overhead and less salvage
value actually used or received by the City.
11 Cornell agrees to and will indemnify and hold the City harmless on
account of claims, law suits, demands, orders or judgments asserted by
third parties for injuries (including death) or property damage occurring
or arising solely as the result of the Fence or its condition or its
maintenance, to include indemnification for the City's reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses of defense, and not due to the Stone Wall,
or potential City contributory negligence. Cornell is not obligated to
indemnify and hold the City harmless on account of challenges to the
City's authority or decision to enter into this MOU. NotwithstandinL7

Re: Residential Parking Permit System Hardship Request
109 Parker Street
I am recommending approval of the enclosed Residential Parking Permit System (RPPS)
hardship request from Mr. DeArmond, a resident at 109 Parker Street.
Section 260-4 of the City Code, Residential Parking Permit System: Exemptions, states
four circumstances in which a resident may apply to the Board of Public Works for a
permit not otherwise available. The third case is, "where residents living on a street
within the Residential Parking Permit Zone without on -street parking wish to purchase
a permit for on -street parking on a street where permits are required."
Mr. DeArmond lives on Parker Street, which is within the Residential Parking Permit
Zone. Parker Street does not have parking on either side of the street. Mr. DeArmond
wishes to purchase a permit for on -street parking on a street where permits are
required. This is not the first time we have received a request from a resident of this
address. I see no issues with granting a hardship for up to four residential parking
permits for 109 Parker Street, given that it is a multifamily dwelling in the R-2 zoning
designation.
