Dear Mr. Thadani:
Please find attached our preliminary proposal for the City of Ithaca,
Department of Public Works, Consolidation Feasibility Study. Within the
proposal are a plan of existing conditions and four possible alternatives
described briefly below:
Alternative 1: 'This alternative looks at the possibility of placing the
county-wide transit facility and a consolidated DPW on
the existing Streets and Facilities site and the adjoining
Seacord parcel. The Seacord parcel in this alternative is
used primarily for parking.
Alternative 2: This alternative also looks at the possibility of placing the
county-wide transit facility and a consolidated DPW on
the existing Streets and Facilities site and the adjoining
Seacord parcel. The Seacord parcel in this alternative is
used as the site of a cold storage facility.
Alternative 3: This alternative looks at only a consolidated DPW on the
existing Streets and Facilities site and the adjoining
Seacord parcel. The Seacord parcel is used in this
alternative as a covered storage, stockpiling and
expansion area. The county-wide transit facility is
assumed sited at another location.
Alternative 4: This alternative also looks at only a consolidated DPW
on the existing Streets and Facilities site only. In this
alternative the Seacord parcel is not assumed to be part of
the site. And, again, the county-wide transit facility is
assumed sited at another location.
Also included is a brief introduction outlining the current DPW situation,
the process to date, and our design assumptions. We submit this
preliminary proposal for your review, comment, and discussion.
Sincerely Yours,
Peter Trowbridge
July 11, 1990
INTRODUCTION
The City of Ithaca Department of Public Works (DPW) currently has elements
spread throughout the city. Functions are found at City Hall, the Water and Sewer
Department on First and Franklin Streets and the Streets and Facilities
Department site on Willow Avenue and Pier Road. This last site is seen by the
department as the location of a consolidated Department of Public Works.
After examining the various facilities and sites of the DPW, the supervisors
provided us with detailed area breakdowns of existing departments with a
comment as to their current adequacy. They also provided a more general area
requirement list for a consolidated DPW site. These figures are the basis for all
calculations included within.
Included in Alternatives 1 and 2 is the proposed county-wide transit facility. We
have reviewed the technical as well as spatial requirements of this facility and
understand its impact.
In considering this study for the Department of Public Works and the proposed
county-wide transit facility, several assumptions have been made that act as the
basis for all four alternatives. In Alternatives_1,2, and 3 we have assumed the
purchase of the 2.4 acre Seacord parcel as an extension of the 7.5 acre existing site.
We have found this to be a necessity to meet all facility requirements. We have
also assumed a 50 foot wide vegetated buffer would be added along the east
property boundary to screen the site from NYS Route 13 and maintain a scenic city
entry.
No facilities were placed to the north of Pier Road so as to maintain all portions of
the municipal golf course as is. In conjunction we have placed all public services,
offices and visitor entry, and parking along Pier Road to provide a public face that
looks out on the golf course. This move and the assumption that a centralized
open work court accessed from Willow Avenue should be created at the heart of
the site surrounded by the existing building, heated storage, cold storage, and
material storage led to the alternatives herein.
Various garage and shop additions are placed so as to make them logical
extensions of existing facilities, but it has been a general assumption that the
existing garage will be renovated to better accommodate the expanded and
relocated shop and service functions.
The final assumption is that NYSEG would grant us the ability to build under
their transmission lines. Buildings shown under the lines are 1 story structures. If
such construction is disallowed, various elements would have to be relocated on
the site or removed completely to another area.

Meetings and discussions with the Superintendent of Public Works, Public Works
Supervisors, the Mayor, and others have assisted us in more carefully adapting
our alternatives with the desires of the supervisors. We feel comfortable in
knowing that input has brought forth all elements and requirements necessary for
placement and proper functioning on the site.

ALTERNATIVE 1
Heated Vehicle & Equipment Storage
All spatial requirements are fulfilled by a 16,000 square foot garage addition
(16: 25' x 40' bays) and existing structure renovation and reconfiguration.
Some expansion is possible to the south, but at the expense of already
t
inadequate parking.
Outdoor Vehicle Storage
An adequate area for outdoor storage of gasoline powered and other non-
motorized equipment is provided in close proximity to the heated vehicle
storage.
Heated Shops
Again, on the basis of existing building renovation and the addition of an
11, 000 square foot shop addition all requirements have been met.
Expansion is possible to the west, but once again at the-expense of very
inadequate parking. A reevaluation of the shop addition may be necessary
• if construction is disallowed within'the NYSEG R.O.W.
Offices
A new office wing of 3,375 square feet has been proposed adjoining the
existing office space. While this space will meet necessary needs, some
adjustments may be needed to accommodate the NYSEG R.O.W.
Parkin
Parking as shown is roughly half the required amount. Unfortunately,
there is no possible way to accommodate all necessary parking. The deficit
142 spaces would require some 2 acres of additional land. This alternative is
not acceptable based on this fact.
Cold Covered Equipment Storage
This function has provided adequate immediate space with a 22,400 square
foot building with access to both sides. Expansion of the structure as shown
is impossible however, thus any growth would involve construction of
another building. The building shown would also have to be reconsidered
if NYSEG disallows construction in its R.O.W.
Heated Material Storage
Adequate area is shown in the 3,500 square foot portion attached to the cold
storage structure. This area possesses no expansion ability and growth
would require new construction in another area.
Heated Salt Storage
A 3,500 square foot storage facility is shown and would meet today's
requirements. Once again, expansion is not possible with this building.
8
ti a
s
Hazardous Materials Storage
An adequate structure of 625 square foot is shown. It is placed under the
NYSEG transmission lines and may need to be relocated; but it's small size
should make relocation simple.
Material Stockpiles
This alternative shows totally inadequate areas for stockpiling. The needs of
other facilities has reduced this valuable element to a useless total. This
alternative is not acceptable based on this fact.
Transit Facilitv.
The facility itself can be placed on the site with acceptable work areas
surrounding it as required. However, staff parking is non-existent as well as
some other service operations, such as trash. This site would require an
additional-6 acres to meet the immediate needs of all the facilities. Thus
this site is not adequate to house both the.transit facility and the Department
of Public Works.
• Conclusions &'Recommendations
This site would require an additional 6 acres to meet the immediate needs
of all facilities. Thus this site is not adequate to house both the transit
facility and the Department of Public Works.

ALTERNATIVE 2
i
Heated Vehicle & Equipment Storage
All immediate spatial requirements are met with a 16,000 square foot garage
addition (16: 25' x 40' bays) and existing structure renovation and
reconfiguration. Some expansion is possible to the west to create a shaped garage.garage. Outdoor vehicle storage would be forced off site or indoors
as no replacement space for that function exists on this site.
Outdoor Vehicle Storage
An adequate area for outdoor storage of gasoline powered and other non-
motorized equipment is provided in close proximity to the heated vehicle
storage.
Heated Shops
With renovation of the existing building and an 11,000 square foot addition,
all immediate needs are satisfied. Expansion is limited by the necessary
space around the nearby transit facility for bus turning, etc., but could occur
toward the west. Any expansion would be extremely small.
Offices
A new office wing of 3,375 square feet has been proposed adjoining the
existing office space. While this space will meet necessary needs, some
adjustments may be needed to accommodate the NYSEG R.O.W.
Parkin
As in Alternative 1, the parking shown is only half the required immediate
amount. Again, no possibility exists to meet today's need. Two additional
acres are necessary to meet the need for 142 spaces. This alternative is not
acceptable.
Cold Covered Equipment Storage
A 22,500 square foot structure with access to both sides meets the immediate
need. It's location is preferable to that in Alternative 1 as it provides an
efficient work court with easy access to all storage. But this building has
virtually no ability to expand due to the demands of other facilities, namely
the bus turning radius required to enter the transit facility.
Heated Material Storage
Adequate area is shown in the 3,500 square foot portion attached to the cold
storage structure. This area possesses no expansion ability and growth
would require new construction in some other area.
Heated Salt Storage
A 3,500 square foot storage facility is shown and would meet today's
requirements. Once again, though, expansion is not possible with this
building.

ALTERNATIVE 3
Heated Vehicle & Equipment Storage
A 16,000 square foot addition (16: 25' x 40' bays) and the renovation of the
existing garage will meet immediate needs. Expansion is possible in a
westerly direction, creating a "U"-shaped garage, or over the material
storage buildings. In the latter the storage building would have to be rebuilt
elsewhere. This site plan allows for that flexibility.
Outdoor Vehicle Storage
An adequate area for outdoor storage of gasoline powered and other non-
motorized equipment is provided in close proximity to the heated vehicle
storage.
Heated Shops
Existing building renovation and an addition of an 11, 000 square feet will
accommodate all shop requirements. Westward expansion of up to 75 feet
is possible with only slight parking lot modifications required. The
• possibility of expansion to the south to form a "U"-shaped building is also
possible, but not as efficient.
Offices
A new office wing of 3,375 square feet has been proposed adjoining the
existing office space. While this space will meet necessary needs, some
adjustments may be needed to accommodate the NYSEG R.O.W.
Parkin
The parking shown meets the immediate needs of a consolidated DPW.
Increased parking can be accommodated in an area designated for material
stockpiling..
Cold Covered Equipment Storage
The 22,500 square foot structure shown accommodates all necessary
functions. It's location along Willow Avenue encloses the central work
area from other traffic and creates a work court, although somewhat
extended. Expansion is possible to the north into the proposed parking lot.
Again, with sufficient stockpiling areas, parking can be relocated.
Heated Material Storage
A 3,500 square foot structure is shown and is adequate. This building can be
expanded to the south or relocated based on other site expansions.
Heated Salt Storage
A 3,500 square foot structure is shown and is adequate. This building can be
expanded to the south or relocated based on other site expansions.
22
y
t
Hazardous Materials Storage
An adequate structure of 625 square foot is shown. It is placed under the
NYSEG transmission lines and may need to be relocated; but it's small size
should make relocation simple.
Material Stockpiles
This alternative possesses 183% of required stockpile area. This abundance
allows for future site expansion as well as tremendous flexibility both now
and in the future.
Transit Facility.
The transit facility requirements make it far too large for this site. Based on
this conclusion from Alternatives 1 and 2, we sought to determine if, in fact,
a consolidated DPW itself would fit on the existing and Seacord parcels. The
DPW, however, works well on the site (that includes Seacord) and holds a
good amount of room for expansion.
Conclusions & Recommendations
• Based on the conclusions from Alternatives 1 and 2, we sought to
determine if, in fact, a consolidated DPW itself would fit on the.existing and
Seacord parcels. The DPW, however, works well on the site (that includes
Seacord) and holds a good amount of room for expansion.

ALTERNATIVE 4
Heated Vehicle & Equipment Storage
A 12,000 square foot (12: 25' x 40' bays) attached to the existing garage and a
separate adjacent 4,000 square foot (4: 25' x 40' bays) meet the immediate
needs. The expandability of these structures is very small although the 4,000
S.F. facility could be doubled to size by a northerly expansion..
Outdoor Vehicle Storage
Only 3/4 of the required space for storage of gasoline fuel equipment is
provided. The restraints of the existing site and vehicle maneuvering
requirement prevent the creation of more space to meet the immediate
need.
Heated Shops
Existing building renovation and an addition of 11,-000 square feet will
accommodate all shop requirements.� Westward expansion of up to 75 feet
is possible with only slight parking lot modifications required. The
possibility of expansion to the south to form a "U"-shaped building is also
possible, but not as efficient.
Offices
A new office wing of 3,375 square feet has been proposed adjoining the
existing office space. While this space will meet necessary.needs, some
adjustments may be needed to accommodate the NYSEG R.O.W.
Parkin
Inadequate parking is shown in this alternative. The requirements of other
facilities and vehicles has taken priority over parking. This fact makes this
alternative unacceptable.
Cold Covered Equipment Storage
The 22,400 square foot building shown along Willow Avenue
accommodates all immediate needs. The structure's location encloses the
central work area, but the placement of parking between it and the shops
segregates this building from the central court. Expansion to the south can
occur,but would be very slight.
Heated Material Storage
Adequate area is shown in the 3,500 square foot portion attached to.the
heated vehicle and equipment storage structure. This portion of the
building possesses no expansion ability and growth would require new
construction.

A
Heated Salt Storage
A 3,500 square foot storage facility is shown and would meet today's
requirements. This facility is located under the NYSEG transmission line
and would require relocation under the NYSEG objections. Once again,
expansion is not possible with this building.
Hazardous Materials Storage
An adequate structure of 625 square foot is shown, It is placed under the
NYSEG transmission lines and may need to be relocated; but it's small size
should make relocation simple.
Material Stockpiles
This alternative shows totally inadequate areas for stockpiling. The needs of
other facilities has reduced this valuable element to a useless total. This
alternative is not acceptable based on this fact.
Transit Facility.
The transit facility,requirements make it far too large for this site and
should be relocated. Based on this conclusion from Alternatives 1 and 2,
we looked at Alternative 3 to determine if, in fact, a consolidated DPW itself
would fit on the existing and Seacord parcels. This alternative examines a
consolidated DPW without the purchase of the Seacord parcel. The existing
parcel is not large enough to accommodate a consolidated DPW. For this
reason this alternative is not acceptable.
