RE: Harold’s Square Revisions
Ithaca (C), NY
FE Project #2013-014
Dear Lisa:
As per our discussions, enclosed please find (9) copies of the revised project documents for the
Harold’s Square project in the Ithaca Commons. We have recently met with the City PCC to
discuss the logistics of constructing this complex project. The Applicant is proposing revisions
to the original approvals as part of design development. The following is a list of the proposed
revisions compared to the previous approvals:
• Removal of Atrium / Incorporation of Entry Court
The atrium space to the west of the existing Sage building indicated in the August 2016
presentation has been removed. This will allow for an outdoor entry court to the main
building (residential tower) entrance and will expose the west façade of the Sage
building to view. This outdoor court will be shared by residents and retail / commercial
tenants.
• Mechanical Penthouse Addition
Increased mechanical support and equipment sizing has resulted in the addition of a
mechanical penthouse on the twelfth floor (roof) of the building to accommodate
equipment area requirements. Equipment such as evaporative coolers, water heaters /
boilers, air handling units, etc. will be located at the new penthouse and fully screened
from view. The developer will explore the possibility of incorporating solar panels at this
new enclosure to generate a renewable energy source for the building.
• Elevator Core Shift and Micro Units
In order to prevent potential undermining of the foundation and structure of the Sage
building, the elevator core indicated in the August 2016 presentation has been shifted to
the south. This shift resulted in a remaining footprint that has allowed for the
incorporation of various support spaces (at the first through fifth floors) and addition of
six micro units in the tower program (at the sixth through eleventh floors).

• Additional Twelfth Floor Apartment Units
With the addition of the mechanical penthouse and the relocation of the equipment to the
tower roof, four apartment units have been added at the twelfth residential floor (on the
northern side of the plan). A modest outdoor terrace for resident use has been allocated
at the northeast corner of the twelfth floor (just south of the Sage building).
• Micro Units at the Lower (Commons) Massing
The developer has refined the programmatic requirements of the micro units to include
two-person / occupant units. This has resulted in a reduction of a total of four micro
units at the five-story volume along the Commons.
• Redesign of Tower Cladding
In order to ensure the financial viability of the project, the developer and its design team
have begun to reexamine the potential cladding systems at the tower portion of the
building. In lieu of terracotta paneling and extensive unitized storefront systems, a
combination of insulated metal panel and architectural aluminum window systems are
proposed at the tower massing.
We look forward to presenting the revisions at the May 23rd Planning Board meeting and
breaking ground in the near future.
Sincerely,
FAGAN ENGINEERS & LAND SURVEYORS, P.C.

Other changes have been made to the plan since it was last reviewed. Many changes are non-
substantive. Some site changes are of more significance, and are often the result of meeting
various code requirements or project limitations. Some of these changes overlap with the
changes asked for as part of the Conditions for Final Approval.
The site changes include (starting at NW corner and moving clockwise):
1. Repositioning of bollards.
2. Shrinking of café areas along East State Street to create better access to doorways and to
enable smoother pedestrian flow around street trees and lamps. Some of this was
achieved by slight repositioning the doorways, some by reducing seating area.
3. Change in quantity of street lamps. Photometric studies for the site lighting, the on-
building lighting, combined with the lighting across the street, showed that only 3 street
lamps were necessary on East State Street, 2 new lamps necessary along East Green
Street, and two lamps total on South Aurora Street.
4. The repositioning of streetlamps precipitated a repositioning of street trees to meet City
of Ithaca tree spacing requirements.
5. 3 street-level intake vents have been added next to the building – two on East State
Street and one on South Aurora Street. All have been designed with 6” curbs to mimic
the foundation plantings.
6. Bike racks have been added along East State Street
7. Positions of foundation plantings along East State Street and South Aurora Street have
shifted in response to columns shifting due to architectural changes. None of the shifts
are more than 6”
8. The pedestrian connection from East Green Street to the far east side of the green roof
has been altered to serve as an accessible egress per fire code. An additional egress
stairway has been added to the far west of the green roof area, connecting the green
roof to East Green Street. Grading has been adjusted accordingly.
9. The retaining wall dividing the garage entrance from the planted slop has been
integrated with the egress stair. It, and the retaining wall on the other side of the garage
entrance, have been moved 2’ from the driveway to allow for snow removal.
10. The required building generator has been moved from its position within the parking
garage to a position on the southwest corner of the green roof area. This was necessary
due to ventilation requirements. He generator will be placed behind a masonry and
louver screening wall which has been designed to appear as an extension of the
architecture while providing the necessary air flow.
11. The placement of the generator has led to a change in the planted area of the green roof
and a relocation of bike racks.
12. The 4’ tall fence dividing the green roof area and the planted slope has been
repositioned as a straight fence atop the foundation wall.
13. The switch gear box has been resized and repositioned, minimizing the size of the pad
and creating a new position for the retaining wall.
14. Due to fire code limitations, occupiable space on roof terrace has been minimized
through an increase in plantings.

Substantive Architectural Changes relevant to the Planning Board:
1. Ground Level, East State Street – Positioning of doors has been altered to match
interior needs (entrance to residences, to commercial space, to fire control room).
2. Ground Level, East State Street – Louvers have been added.
3. Ground Level, East State Street and East Aurora Street – Awnings have been
repositioned and on-building lighting has been moved down.
4. Ground Level, Aurora Street – Panel and door to right of stair tower has been
eliminated. The panel has been replaced with an opening that contains doorways to
both the stir tower and the utility room. This was done to comply with required door
swing distance while staying within property line.
5. Garage entrance – Garage entrance has been designed with a split entrance/egress, with
Nichiha panel extending down on the column separating the two sides. Ventilation has
been cut into the area above the garage entrance lane.
6. Throughout – Windows have been altered. All windows follow the same dimensions
along any given column of windows, but some columns have been widened, others
narrowed. There are no substantive changes to the window to wall ratio of the
building.
7. Rooftop – Mechanicals and PV panels have been arranged. Screening has been added
where necessary. Perspective drawings have been produced to explore the views of the
rooftop from various positions.
8. Rounded “nose” of building – a lighter panel color has been selected to clad the 7th floor
as per recommendation. Nichiha panel color mix B has been specified for the back wall
of the patios.
Sincerely,
Yamila Fournier

To help advance energy performance of the buildings we recommend a condition of the site plan be to
require facade transparency of less than 30% to meet code requirements as opposed to the proposed
transparency which appears to exceed this percentage.
To increase the potential use of rooftop solar beyond the 7.5kw system proposed at some point in the
proposed buildings' lifetime, we recommend that rooftop mechanicals be placed in locations that allow for
maximum rooftop solar potential.
To ensure safe pedestrian travel around the site, we recommend a full analysis of the pedestrian crossings
of Aurora and E. State Streets be conducted. If recommended mitigation measures are recommended,
those should be a required condition of approval, and
WHEREAS: in response to Marx’s comments the applicant has 1) confirmed that the proposed glazing
exceeds energy efficiency requirements, 2) confirmed that the rooftop layout allows for future solar expansion
and 3) that the City Transportation engineer has reviewed the layout and not identified any pedestrian issues,

City of Ithaca Sidewalks
To: Lisa Nicholas, Senior Planner
From: Johnathan Licitra, Sidewalk Program Manager
Re: Site Plan Review: Project: 744 S. Meadow St.
Date: 15 May 2017
According to the submitted plans dated 13 Mar 2013, this project did not propose a
sidewalk connection along the main commercial corridor and to the southern entrance of S.
Meadow St. I agree with the proposed sidewalk improvements in front of the building
modifications, but believe a necessary sidewalk benefit along the road frontage is needed.
The closest east-west sidewalk connection is over 500 feet north of the southern end of the
proposed building. The attached proposed sheet, highlights a needed sidewalk connection
for this retail district.
I would encourage the Planning and Development Board to instruct the developers
to construct their proposed sidewalk improvements in front of their proposed building
modifications, and to also construct a new concrete sidewalk that connects east-west
travelers and the connection to S. Meadow St. road frontage. This will improve the
sidewalk infrastructure in sidewalk district 4. Any sidewalk upgrades need to comply with
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards (i.e. 2% cross-slope, 5 feet wide, etc.).

third public hearing for the purpose of considering approval of the Application for
Certificate of Appropriateness was conducted at the regularly scheduled ILPC
meeting on February 14, 2017, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the ILPC has made the following findings of fact concerning the property and
the proposal:
As identified in the City of Ithaca’s DeWitt Park Historic District Summary
Statement, the period of significance for the area now known as the DeWitt Park
Historic District is 1820-1930.
As indicated in the New York State Building-Structure Inventory Form, the former
library building at 310-314 N Cayuga St was constructed in 1969, outside of the
period of significance of the DeWitt Park Historic District, and is considered a non-
contributing resource.
As a non-contributing structure, 310-314 N Cayuga St, by definition, does not
possess historic materials or features that are subject to protection under the
Principles enumerated in Section 228-5 of the Municipal Code or the Secretary of
ILPC Meeting – 02/14/17
Resolution – RA
3
the Interior’s Standards. The ILPC’s evaluation of the proposed project is, therefore,
limited to the assessment of the impact of the proposed work on adjacent historic
structures and on the DeWitt Park Historic District as a whole, with the guiding
principle being that the proposed work must not further reduce the compatibility of
the non-contributing structure within its historic environment.
Buildings in the DeWitt Park Historic District span the early period of Ithaca’s
development from settlement to city. The district derives significance through its
association with many of Ithaca’s early leaders and citizens, especially its founder,
Simeon DeWitt. The DeWitt Park Historic District is an architecturally rich and
historically significant downtown area. With its visual character strengthened by the
diverse building stock, including both large institutional, civic, religious, and
residential buildings and much smaller single family homes, the district presents a
distinct urban setting for the city’s commercial, social, political and religious
activities.
In consideration of this and all approvals of proposals for alterations, new
construction or demolition in historic districts, the ILPC must determine that
the proposed exterior work will not have a substantial adverse effect on the
aesthetic, historical or architectural significance and value of either the
landmark or, if the improvement is within a district, of the neighboring
improvements in such district. In considering architectural and cultural
value, the Commission shall consider whether the proposed change is
consistent with the historic value and the spirit of the architectural style of the
landmark or district in accordance with Section 228-6 of the Municipal Code.
In making this determination, the Commission is guided by the principles set
forth in Section 228-6B of the Municipal Code, as further elaborated in Section
228-6C, and by the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, and
in this case specifically the following principles and Standards:
Principle #3 New construction located within an historic district shall be
compatible with the historic character of the district within which it is located.
Standard #9 New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction
shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new
work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the
massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity
of the property and its environment.
With respect to Principle #3 and Standard #9, the new four-story, mixed-use
building and is associated site improvements are compatible with historic character
of the DeWitt Park Historic District, and more specifically , with the massing size
scale and architectural features of the property and its environment.
In their review of the proposed new building, the ILPC considered the new
building’s height, massing, street wall relationship, façade composition, materiality,
and design details. The new building’s height is consistent with other large buildings
within the district, including the DeWitt Mall at 215 N Cayuga St, the Cayuga
Apartments at 100 W Buffalo St, and the Tompkins County Court House at 312-322
ILPC Meeting – 02/14/17
Resolution – RA

N Tioga St. The building’s large mass was visually reduced by the significant setback
from the curb along W Court St and the setback of the third and fourth stories.
These features also significantly reduces the perceived height of the four-story
building, effectively creating the appearance of a two-story building along W Court
St. Furthermore, the building’s setbacks from the curb along N Cayuga St and W
Court St reflect the same proportional setback relationship that characterizes other
large historic buildings within the district. The district’s largest buildings have
setbacks between 25’ and 35’ on their street-facing elevations; the proposed new
building has a setback along N Cayuga St of 28’ to 31’ and W Court St of 30’. The
traditional tripartite composition and masonry wall surfaces along N Cayuga St and
W Court St are reflective of the large civic, religious and residential buildings within
the district. The vertical projections and seemingly two-story appearance of the W
Court Street façade sympathetically relates to the rhythm and scale of the smaller
residential structures on the north side of the street. The concentrated detailing
around door and window penetrations, brick pattern variations, horizontal banding
and simplified cornice reflect contemporary interpretations of historic themes. The
building’s proposed cladding materials are found extensively throughout the district
in both its large and small buildings, with the exception of the vertically oriented
cement board siding on the fourth story.
The ILPC also notes the significant number of mature trees on the property and the
special quality they add to the historic character of the Historic District.
Landscaping falls outside of the purview of the ILPC and, therefore, cannot be
reviewed, considered or regulated as part of the Certificate of Appropriateness
process. However, the ILPC can provide non-binding guidance on landscaping
elements. The City of Ithaca Historic District and Landmark Design Guidelines states that
existing trees should be retained where possible, and for this reason, the ILPC
encourages the developers to consider the retention of some of the mature, healthy
locust trees along W. Court St. and the large diameter oak trees along the west
property line. Their retention will help mitigate the visual impact of the new
development on the Historic District.
Also with respect to Standard #9, the proposed building will be differentiated from
the old by its modern design, the use contemporary and traditional building materials
and the utilization of current construction techniques.
RESOLVED, that, based on findings set forth above, the proposal will not have a substantial
adverse effect on the aesthetic, historical, or architectural significance of the 310-312
N Cayuga St and the DeWitt Park Historic District as set forth in Section 228-6, and
be it further
RESOLVED, that the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission determines that the proposal
meets the criteria for approval under Section 228-6 of the Municipal Code, and be it
further
RESOLVED, that the ILPC approves the Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness with the
following condition(s) with the following condition(s):

• The applicant shall submit to the ILPC a schedule and samples of all exterior
building materials for final review and approval.
• Any alterations to the exterior of the building that result from forthcoming
review processes shall be reviewed and approved by the ILPC.
• While the existing building is considered a non-contributing resource due to its
construction outside of the Historic District’s period of significance, it does
directly relate to significant social and civic events in the history of the City of
Ithaca and reflects the design aesthetic of the era during which it was
constructed. Therefore, the building shall be photographically documented by
Historic Ithaca, and the photographs shall be filed with the Secretary of the
ILPC before a demolition permit is issued for the partial removal of the building.

FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM (FEAF) ― Part III
Site Plan Review: 323 Taughannock Blvd. – Mixed-Use
Date Created: 4/4/17 Revised on 5/2/17 and 5/16/17
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing construction of 16 apartments on Inlet Island, on a 0.242 acre lot. The
design is for 8 two story dwelling units each occupying the top two floors of the building. On the
bottom floor there is a studio or professional office space for a maximum total of 16 units with up to
24 bedrooms. The applicant is proposing zoning for the site that is virtually identical to the City’s
adopted WF-2 zoning ordinance the main difference being that the 1st floor studio or office spaces
will have 10’ high first floors as opposed to 12. However the finished grade will be raised 2 feet to
raise the building above the flood plain. The project includes an 8 space parking area that is
accessed through the adjacent City-owned parking lot. The project includes some improvements to
the city-owned parking lot including a partial re-design that will create a net gain of 4 spaces. The
project does not change the dimensions of the walkway along the Old Cayuga Inlet, and improves
the existing landscaping and lighting.
The project site is in an area currently under study for an Area Plan as a part of the Phase II of the
Comprehensive Plan. Since this planning effort will result in changes in zoning requirements in this
area, the City has rezoned the entire area to a Temporary Mandatory Planned Unit Development
(TMPUD) Zone, until the Area Plan is complete. Therefore, the project sponsor has also applied to
Common Council for a (TM) PUD. The applicant has proposed zoning for the site.
This project may also require approvals from the Department of Public Works for modification to
the parking lot, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, and the NYS Canal Corporation.
This is a Type I Action under the City of Ithaca Environmental Quality Review Ordinance, §176-4
B.(1)(h)[2] and B.(1)(k), an Unlisted Action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act, and is
subject to environmental review.
IMPACT ON LAND
Project site is within the 100- and 500-year floodplain. Applicable building code regulations for
building within a floodplain will apply to this project.
The applicant has submitted a drawing titled “Structural Foundation Drawing (S101) dated 1-1-17
showing that the building will have a structural slab supported by 91 timber piles.
The applicant should provide information regarding the duration of pile driving and any plans for
monitoring of potentially affected nearby buildings, if needed.
IMPACT ON WATER
Project is contiguous to the old Cayuga Inlet.
Page 2 of 5
The applicant is not proposing any loading on or disturbance of the existing sheet piling. Should
any disturbance of the existing sheet piling be necessary, a permit from the NYS Canal Corporation
would be required.
Likewise, this action may require an Article 15, Protection of Waters Permit, for construction along
Cayuga Inlet, a Protected Class C(t) navigable body of water, if proposed construction will cause
disturbance to the bed or banks, or require excavation or placement of fill in Cayuga Inlet. Such
permit would be under the jurisdiction of NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS
DEC).
If the Army Corps of Engineers determines the project requires a Federal Clean Water Act Section
404 permit, it may also be necessary to obtain a Section 401 Water Quality Certification from NYS
DEC.
IMPACT ON DRAINAGE
The project is within the 100 and 500 year floodplain. The applicant has provided a grading plan and
has stated that no stormwater management facilities are proposed. The project will be reviewed by
the City Stormwater Management Officer who will determine if any facilities or practices will be
required.
IMPACT ON AIR
Construction impacts only. Appropriate dust mitigation measures will be employed during
construction such as the following:
• Misting or fog spraying site to minimize dust.
• Maintaining crushed stone tracking pads at all entrances to the construction site
• Re-seeding disturbed areas to minimize bare exposed soils.
• Keeping roads clear of dust and debris.
• Requiring trucks to be covered.
• Prohibiting burning of debris on site.
No impact anticipated.
IMPACT ON PLANTS & ANIMALS
No impact anticipated.
IMPACT ON AESTHETIC RESOURCES
The project is in a highly visible location in the City’s waterfront. The Design Review Committee
reviewed the project on 5-16-17 and had the following comments:
The waterfront character for the building has been weakened in the submission dated 5-1-
17.
The roofline is too large for the lanterns. Either break up the roof (as in a previous design)
or increase the size and/or number of lanterns. It was also suggested that the previous
features of the lanterns be restored.
Page 3 of 5
The rooflines are not congruent.
The building previously had a stronger vertical element that added to its character. This
element should be incorporated into the design.
The suspended canopies should be enlarged for the comfort of those using the adjacent
walkway.
The materials have not been finalized bu the applicant intends to use and irregular/varied
stone base and 5’ clapboard
The applicant should provide a roof plan for site plan review.
The applicant should explore the use of a green screen on the front façade of the southern-
most building as there is no room for a planting bed.
The applicant agreed to explore these issues and to address them more fully during site plan review.
No impact anticipated.
IMPACT ON HISTORIC RESOURCES
NYSDEC previously identified the project as within an archeologically sensitive area.
IMPACT ON OPEN SPACE AREA
No impact anticipated.
IMPACT ON TRANSPORTATION
Based on information provided by the applicant, the project is estimated to generate a maximum of
50 vehicle trips per day. No impact is anticipated from this amount of trip generation.
IMPACT ON ENERGY
The following information statement was provided by the applicant:
The project is pursuing net-zero energy incentives through NYSERDA. Combined with
the possibility of off-site solar energy there is an opportunity for a truly net-zero project.
No impact anticipated.
IMPACT ON NOISE & ODORS
Since this the project area has limited residential development, construction noise would mostly
affect nearby businesses.
The applicant has submitted a drawing titled “Structural Foundation Drawing (S101) dated 1-1-17
showing that the building will have a structural slab supported by 91 timber piles.
The applicant should provide information regarding the duration of pile driving and any plans for
monitoring of potentially affected nearby buildings, if needed.
Page 4 of 5
IMPACT ON PUBLIC HEALTH
The applicant has submitted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), prepared by LCS, Inc.
and dated October 16, 2002. The assessment found no evidence of recognized environmental
conditions on the site.
The applicant has submitted a letter titled Pre-demolition Asbestos Survey for 323 Taughannock
Blvd, Ithaca NY dated November 11, 2011 from Paul Carubia, Environmental Engineer of
EnviroControl Technologies Inc. to Ann Chernish of Rampart Real LLC. The letter states that roofing
materials were found to contain asbestos. It is required that removal of any asbestos-containing
material in the existing building be done by a NYS Licensed Asbestos Contractor.
IMPACT ON GROWTH & CHARACTER OF COMMUNITY OR NEIGHBORHOOD
The applicant has provided proposed zoning for the project.
The proposed permitted uses are as follows:
Residential multi-family , apartment, condominium and cooperatives
Cultural facility, such as art gallery or museum
Business or professional office
Retail store or service commercial facility
Medical, dental or other professional office
Proposed permitted accessory uses are limited to accessory parking
Area requirements are as follows:
Minimum lot size: none
Off street loading: none
Width at street line: 148’ 36”
Maximum building height: 63’
Maximum number of stories: 3
Maximum percent of lot coverage: 100%
Front, rear and side yard setbacks: none
Minimum building height: 20’
Maximum building length: 140’
Minimum setback from top of bank: 10’
The following highlighted text appeared as written in the FEAF Part 3 for the previous project,
approved in 2014
For many years, the city has considered the prospect of an additional bridge over the Cayuga Inlet
that would be an extension of Court Street and connect to NYS Route 89. The Inlet Island Urban
Design Plan, adopted by Common Council in 1998, calls for construction of “a pedestrian bridge or
vehicular bridge over Cayuga Inlet to intersect with West Court Street,” and that the “timing of
phased implementation will be contingent upon the pace of redevelopment.” This plan
recommends that a portion of this project’s parcel be a “temporary plaza” to allow room for such a
Page 5 of 5
future bridge. Informal studies have shown this bridge could act as a ‘relief valve’ for south-bound
traffic on Fulton Street, so drivers traveling west could have the option of turning before they reach
the very congested Buffalo-Fulton Street intersection. A portion of the bridge, as conceived, would
be located on the project site.
A bridge in this location poses several challenges. The Cayuga Inlet is considered a navigational
waterway by the Canal Corp. and must have a 14-foot clearance between the mean water level and
the underside of the bridge deck, to allow boats to pass underneath. In order to meet this
requirement, the approaches to the bridge would need to start a considerable distance away or
something similar to a drawbridge would need to be built. Either solution would be very costly and
the City would need to find funding in order to seriously consider another bridge over the inlet.
Additionally, the land on which the approaches would need to be built ― one of which is the project
site ― are privately owned and would need to be purchased or acquired through eminent domain.
It was determined the proposed project could be the catalyst for long-awaited development on the
waterfront, would provide much-needed housing opportunities, and would add to the City’s tax
base, all leading to a decision to abandon the idea of a bridge in this location at this time and to
allow the proposal to move forward.
It should be noted that, due to the presence of strips of New York State and City of Ithaca property
adjacent to this project’s parcel, construction of a future bicycle / pedestrian bridge in this area may
still be possible.
The project also includes changes to the city parking lot adjacent to the building. The applicant will
presented the project to the Board of Public Works on 4/10/17. The Board expressed support for
the project and suggested that the project could be handled under a street permit and did not
require further Board-level approval.

TO: Board of Zoning Appeals
FROM: Planning & Development Board
DATE: May 24, 2017
SUBJECT: Planning Board Comments for Zoning Appeals #3062 & 3063
On May 23, 2017 members of the Planning and Development Board discussed the above-listed Zoning
Appeal and agreed to forward the following recommendation:
APPEAL # 3068 111 THE KNOLL
Area Variance
Appeal of Noah Demarest on behalf of the owners Sherri Kimes and Ross Turnbull for an area variance
from Section 325-8, Column 2, minimum distance restrictions for the R-U zone and Column 7, Lot Width
at street of the zoning ordinance. The applicant proposes to purchase the property at 111 The Knoll and
convert the single family dwelling to a group house that will be owned and managed by the Chesterton
House Center for Christian Studies. As part of the group house conversion, an attached garage will be
demolished and a new two story addition will be added to the existing building. The new addition will
accommodate four additional bedrooms and two bathrooms that will be added to the existing 5
bedroom home. The intent of this proposal is to provide housing at 111 The Knoll for 16 female members
in close proximity to 115 The Knoll which houses the male members. This will facilitate the operation of
shared programing services for the Chesterton House Center.
In 2015, the R-U zone district was amended to include a 500 foot restriction on new construction of
specific uses permitted within the zone. This came about in 2014, when the Planning and Economic
Development Committee of Common Council considered development proposals that conflicted with the
wish to maintain the historic qualities and existing character of this neighborhood. “This particular
historic district was developed as a planned “residence park,” with significant amounts of greenspace
and informal landscaping in the Romantic tradition intentionally retained around its expansive homes to
create a unique neighborhood identity.” As a result, the permitted uses for new construction of multiple
dwellings, rooming or boarding houses, cooperative households, dormitories, fraternities, sororities, and
group houses were limited to 1 within every 500 feet measured from the edge of the property. 111 The
Knoll is within the restricted 500 foot dimension of approximately 14 multiple dwellings. The property
has an existing deficiency in lot width at street, having 41’ of the required 125’, which will not be
exacerbated by the proposed project.
The property is located in an R-U residential-university use district in which the proposed use is
permitted. However, Section 325-38 requires that a variance be granted before a building permit is
issued.
The Planning Board does not identify any long term planning impacts with this appeal.

Column 13, Other Side yard requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant requested a Lot Line
Adjustment for the two contiguous properties located at 324 S. Cayuga Street and 318-322 S. Cayuga
Street. The existing parcel at 324 S. Cayuga Street is approximately 4,125 SF in total lot area and the
applicant would like to consolidate the rear portion of the lot, approximately 1,856.3 SF, into the
neighboring lands at 318-322 S. Cayuga Street. The lot lines of the two contiguous properties cannot be
adjusted if it creates a zoning deficiency in either lot. The proposed Lot Line Adjustment will create a
new deficiency for the property located at 324 S. Cayuga Street. The lot area for 324 S. Cayuga Street
will be reduced from 4,125 SF to 2268.7 SF, of the 3,000 SF required by the ordinance. The lot at 324 S.
Cayuga Street has a number of existing deficiencies in off-street parking, lot width, side yard and other
side yard, but these deficiencies are not relevant with respect to issuing a Lot Line Adjustment.
The property at 324 S. Cayuga Street is located in a B-4 zoning district where the proposed use is
permitted. However, Section 290-6, lot line adjustment requires a variance be granted before a Lot Line
Adjustment is issued.
The Planning Board does not identify any long term planning impacts with this appeal.

Re: Proposed Waterfront Zoning
The purpose of this memo is to provide information regarding proposed new zoning for the
waterfront area.
In September of 2015, the Common Council adopted Plan Ithaca as Phase I of the City
Comprehensive Plan and in November of 2015, staff was directed to begin working on a waterfront
development plan as a part of the next phase for the Comprehensive Plan.
In March of 2016, the Common Council adopted legislation establishing a Temporary Mandatory
Planned Unit Development (TMPUD) in the waterfront study for a period of 18 months. This was
intended to allow the Common Council to have transitional oversight for potential development
projects and to ensure that development in this area supports the goals of the City’s Comprehensive
Plan, while the plan for the waterfront and the associated new zoning could be established.
In order to develop recommendations for the plan and for the zoning a waterfront working group
made up of 17 members of the public and City Planning Staff was established. The group began
meeting regularly in September of 2016. Given the deadline of establishing new zoning prior to
the expiration of the TMPUD, the waterfront working group has focused on completing a land use
section of the plan and making recommendations for future zoning for the Waterfront Study Area.
In December of 2016 the working group hosted two open houses to solicit additional input from
the public. Using feedback from the public and goals from Plan Ithaca the working group has
completed the land use section of the draft plan. Enclosed is a draft Land Use Chapter for the
Waterfront Plan.
This chapter includes goals that were introduced in Phase 1 of the Comprehensive Plan and
explains how they are applicable to the waterfront area. When developing this plan, the working

group specifically referenced goals regarding protecting view sheds, allowing public access to the
waterfront, enhancing pedestrian and bicycle connections, reducing the impacts of parking in new
developments, and creating a mixed use district, including commercial, and housing, with an
emphasis on uses that create an active waterfront environment. Four distinct character areas of the
waterfront are identified in the land use chapter, which can also be seen on the enclosed map. The
waterfront working group used these character areas to develop a recommendation for zoning for
the waterfront.
Enclosed for your consideration is a draft ordinance containing the recommended zoning from the
waterfront working group. Areas that are highlighted and underlined were added as
recommendations from the working group after the document was sent to the Planning Committee.
A draft Full Environmental Assessment Form (FEAF) for this action is also enclosed.
The Planning and Economic Development of the Common Council will consider this proposal at
their regularly scheduled meeting on May 10, 2017. Your comments are respectfully requested
prior to May 8, 2017. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 274-6410.
