Superintendent Telephone: 607/274-6527 Fax: 607/274-6587 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Svante Myrick, Ch Board of Public Works FROM: Kathrin S oss, Executive Assistant DATE: July 11, 2018 RE: Revisions to Chapter 157 of the City of Ithaca M icipal Code entitled "Co ons" City of Ithaca M cipal Code Chapter 157, entitled "Co ons," was updated in March 2015 and February 2016 to reflect new rules, updated m. • tenance guidelines, and transfer of responsibilities from the City Clerk to the Superintendent of Public Works. The chapter was er updated in 2018 to ellinate the Co ons Advisory Board due to the creation of the Co issions, and transfer more responsibilities to the Superintendent of Public Works' office. After working with the new rules in the ordinance since 2015, it has come to the attention of staff that the ordinance does not reflect actual practice in some areas, including p its, plified so d and driving on the Co ons. The Co I ons Advisory Board discussed revisions to the ordinance d ng several me • gs in 2016 and 2017 prior to its disbandment, and have proposed the revisions to Chapter 157, as reflected in the attached. ended ordinance. It is believed that these changes will assist staff and co ty m bers to better understand the rules, as well as ensure the safety of visitors to the Coi i ons. Below is a s ary of the su ested endments: 1. Chapters 157-19 (Fees) and 157-20 (Street Perfo ers) have been moved in their entirety to 157-7 and 157-8, respectively. The Co i ons Advisory Board thought this info ation was better co •cated if placed closer to the explanation of the types of pe tits that are available. 2. A more detailed distinction between the rules for the P ary Co ons vs. the Secondary Co ons is made in several locations • • the chapter. (157-9B(5) 3. Due to an issue with . plified so d last year, an additional consequence was added for those that do not respond to requests to reduce vol e. (157-10D) 4. Actual practice revealed that those that obtain a p it to drive on the Co ons did not obtain or pay for a parking pay -and -display ticket as required in 157-11A. This req ent is being removed, as well as the two hour time F it. More exceptions to this rule than enforc ent of the time 1- 't have been authorized in the past three years. "An Equal Oppo ty Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification." 5. The creation of a p it for work sites on the Coi ons is strongly encouraged (157-12). Since the reconstruction of the Co I ons, staff has fo d that more property o ers and businesses are perfo "ng maintenance and rep; s to their o buildings facing the Primary Co ons. This has caused the need to block off portions of the pedestrian mall for construction equipment and vehicles, creating a safety hazard in some instances. It is suggested that the City utilize the existing Street Pe it legislation (Chapter 342) as it p- ns to sidewalk obstruction for these work sites. Street p its req e c "ficates of g the City as additionally insured, and have specific setup porary fencing and signage, that protect pedestrians. It er ers to inde Ty the City from accidents or ages. Fees for the liability insurance n req ents, such as req " es contractors/o p its are c ently $50, but may be changed by the Board of Public Works. 6. With the r oval of the trash and recycling compactors from City property in 2017, Chapter 157-18 (Refuse) has been. ended. The City no longer manages the compactors. 7. The Co ons Advisory Board requested that a previous provision that allows for a reduced p "t fee for not-for-profit mobile vendors be r ed to the code. (157-26B(1)) The proposed . endments have been presented to the Public Safety and Info ation Co "ssion and will be presented to City As "stration at their July 2018 meetings. The office of the Superintendent of Public Works respectfully requests that the Board reco I end that Co on Co cil approve the proposed revisions, effective ediately. Please let me know if you have any questions. kds Enclosures cc: Michael Thorne, Superintendent of Public Works Ke Levine, Assistant City Attorney Chapter 157 Commons [HISTORY: Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Ithaca 2-3-2016 by Ord.

I'm taking this quiet week to get caught up and you are on my list. I passed your request to acquire City property adjacent to the Just Be Cause property and the West Seneca Street cul-de-sac that ends at the Flood Control Channel. Assistant Superintendent of Public Works, Ray Benjamin, and Fire Chief, Tom Parsons had the following concerns: Hi JoAnn, The cul-de-sac gives DPW a direct connection to the flood control channel above the bridge, we have staged there in the past to remove trees that come down the channel and snaged on the bridge. I know its only a proposed parking lot now but once it is private, that can change. It is also our access to mow that portion of the channel. Ray Hi Jo We need an Auto- analysis to see if we can get our trucks ed aro d at the end of the street. My impression is that it's pretty tight, but to be sure they should have TG Millers, or TW&M to plug the design into auto turn and see if we can get a ladder truck ed aro • d. Thanks Tom You or Jason should co unicate directly with Ray and Tom to see if their concerns can be addressed.

In any event one of the steps along the way is to hopefully negotiate with the City to acquire a small parcel of City property (3827 SF) adjacent to the property that I c ently o which is wedged in b een my property and the West Seneca cul-de-sac that ends at the flood control ch. el. As you see from the attached site plan it would be useful to the project to help expand our parking needs. I initiated a conversation with Ari Lavine about annexing/acquiring/leasing (least desirable option) this parcel from the City and after our discussions he is supportive of the idea. Ari explained that the first step in the process is to get the support of the P1 ing Dep. I ent followed by the DPW — both dep. ents need to agree that the parcel is 'surplus property' and the Public Works has no use for it. Ass ing there is agre ent on this, the next step would be for a standing co 'ttee of Co on Co cil (probably the PI ing Co I 'nee or the City Admin. Co .) need to vote to authorize the sale. Finally Co u on Co cil has to approve the sale. I have copied Assistant City Attorney Krin Flaherty, who Ari indicated would be able to assist with the process should all the above referenced parties agree.

I would not repeat them ag • h I do like to report to you the latest efforts I 0: - to resolve the issue. On Sept- ber 2, 2016, I met with Director Jo Co h in her office; she told me she had read my A .1 28 2016 1 r. And I showed her the s. nepi s that I showed Mr. S: chan in 2015 and, as the result, he di n•ssed all the tickets before a scheduled .1 in I a city Court.

Ms. Co sh and I . - ed to meet ag at 4:00 pm to have a ct look at the location. sed with her about a concern he had: his view was blocked. I explained to s (which are higher than 5 feet at some driver has to stop at the stop si (for on other stop signs), then move blocked the view of the tr. c. This and standard practice for any diver at on my property on September 7, 2019 By the . y, when I met Mr. Niechwiadowich and Mr. Love in Mr. Niewiadowicz' office, as stated in my August 28 1 , we had similar discussion, and Mr. Niechwiado cz agreed •th the s e reaso g just mentioned above. 11 On September 7, 2016, Ms. Co ish come to the in ection of Valley Road and E State Street. I showed her the "real pi e" of the vegetation on the side of the State Street. She agreed that vegetation DID NOT block the view of the .1. c. Then I showed her the spots from where I dug out two bushes in the early s ••g of 2016, follo • g the a hed with Mr. Love anti Mr. Ep i "atos in the fall of 2015. She also agree that it no ttg u for a driver to stop first at stop sign and move slowly forward to have clear view of the traffic then merge safely. She also noticed that across Valley Road from my house, the bushes are much higher and the wooden fences are higher still. To have a clear view of the other direction, the driver would have to do exactly the same procedure. I did indicate to Ms. Cornish that, when the previous owners built the fences years ago, they did seek and obtained the approval of the city, since, at that time, they asked me and my wife whether we would have any objections, and we told them we did not. Ms. Cornish and I also had an extensive discussion about the zoning code 325-17(B). We measured with a ruler to see how a so called 20 feet triangle zone would look like with measurements from different starting points. We both agreed that if this zoning code were "strictly enforced", high percentage of properties located at street intersections throughout the city would be in `violation" of the code. For example, for the property across Valley Road from my house, four to six sections of the fences have to be removed at a great cost to the owner. In downtown area, houses would have, to be moved to satisfy this code. It was impractical and unjustified to do so. I did state to Ms. Cornish that I should not be singled out for the enforcement of this code. During the long otherwise pleasant conversation, one piece of information provided by Ms. Cornish shocked me: despite her strong objection, Mr. Niechwiadowicz had already forced the issue onto the Board of Public Works. I asked her, how could he do this in defiance of her clear instruction? Ms. Cornish called me again on September 9 2016 early evening to confirm that the issue has been indeed on the agenda of today's meeting. She also promised that she would personally come to this meeting to state her position on this issue. On the other hand, Mr. Niechwiadowicz did not inform me in any way or form that he had already forced this forward. There was one detail in the phone call that upset me greatly: Mr. Niechwiadowicz claimed to Ms. Cornish that he had already issued tickets to my neighbor across Valley Road when Ms. Cornish asked him to compare the height of vegetations on my property to the fences of my neighbor. If this is true, it demonstrates that the process of "code enforcement" has completely gone haywire and need to be stopped. I do not want my neighbor experience the same nightmares I endured for the last few years. In the notes Mr. Niechwiadowicz attached to the agenda, he made a long list of who had come to my property. However, Mr. Niechwiadowicz deliberately misrepresented the position of Director Cornish, He filed the notes to the board on September 7 2016, before Ms. Cornish finished the meeting with me on the site nearly 5:00 pm that evening. How could he know whether or not Ms. Cornish would agree "it is in violation". In addition, to my surprise, he mentioned that he had made visit to my property himself. If he really wanted to resolve the issue, he should have inform me the visit in advance, and he and I would have a candid conversation with him on the site and the issue might have been already resoled. More importantly, he deliberately omitted one very important visit by a senior code inspector, Mr. Epthimiatos. In this visit, in their capacity of representing code enforcement department and City of Ithaca, Mr. Epthimiatos together with Mr. Love reached an agreement with me as I described in detail in my August 28, 2016 letter. The agreement has to be mutually binding. I have fulfilled fully my obligation to the agreement. Mr. Niechwiadowicz, his code enforcement department, and the City of Ithaca have failed their obligation so far. In his notes, Mr. Niechwiadowicz repeatedly makes accusation that "Mr. Yuan refuse to comply". His accusation demonstrates either that he deliberately disregard the undisputed facts presented in my le completely : - In S i, s and provides • sinto vities of the city tion to the memb of this board; or he is ployees # der his supe sion. $1 - # ery, I respe i y request the m- bers of the board would pass a resolution that disi, sses the findings in Mr. Niech 'adowicz's le dated August 18; and rescind "property maint- ;• ce actions by Dep; in ent of Public Work at 940 East State Street" forced upon the board by Mr. Niechwiadowicz.

The wall reta the subgrade of East State Street on the elevated side d exhibits extensive cracking on the face indicating that it is severely deteriorated. d in need of significant rehabilitation or reconstruction. East State Street is urb. principal arterial on the National Highway System, which serves as a key multi -modal tr portation corridor in the City of Ithaca. The project is needed to address the structural defici cies of the wall d provide a serviceable struc e for ret • g the East State Street subgrade. As discussed in the draft Design Report, the Preferred Alternative is Alternative 5. alter -five would consist of a new retaining wall that would be offset approx. tely 10' south of the • ting wall at the west end of the project. The wall system would include drilled soldier piles socketed into rock "th a lagging wall d tieback anchors. The top of the new wall would be a si lar elevation to the adjacent sidewalk along East State Street and would thus create a relatively flat area between the sidewalk and top of the wall. Additionally, a new "cropile supported wall would be constructed in front of the east end of the existing wall at the top of the slope adjacent to East State Street leaving the rema• • g do lope undis bed. A new sidewalk and pedestri. railing would be talled along East State Street. The *sting reta. •ng wall would generally remain in place, though the top of the existing wall would be removed to allow for the proposed flat area. Plans d typical sections for the proposed • provements are provided. IMPACT ON LAND The existing wall r ges in height from 8 feet to 20 feet tall. Though the wall has a batter, it is near vertical, so co truction '11 take place on slopes over 15%. Construction of a new wall adjacent to the existing wall is likely to produce the least disturbance to operations of East State Street. Work will include soldier piles drilled into sub -surface rock. Anchors will tie the wall back under East State Street. 1- ber lagging *th concrete facing 11 be • talled on or between the soldier piles. Behind the wall (on the street side), the area will be backfilled to provide for a nearly level area behind the wall and the sidewalk. Though this construction work is fairly heavy and intensive, it does allow for future development of the parcel adjacent to East State Street on the south side by • 'zing the span between the sidewalk and Page 1 of 3 roadway and a potential building. No significant negative pacts to land are expected from this project. IMPACT ON WATER No impact on water. IMPACT ON D INAGE Project will replace, but will not change storm water dra. street or wall. IMPACT ON AIR No • pact on air, ge syst related to the IMPACT ON PL S D IMALS The hillside • ediately south of the wall is currently vegetated •th trees, including some . ture trees. This vegetation • be removed on the slope below East State Street along the existing wall to acco odate the new wall, an area of approx. tely 7,500 square feet (approx.. 0.17 acres). The City Forester has noted that most of the trees are invasive species of No ay Maple . d the Tree of Heaven (Ail thus altissa), many of which are in poor condition. Though some planting opportunities . y exist with the proposed project, it 1.1 not make sense toph t trees above/behind the wall; smaller shrubs or ground cover would make more s e. Some ph ting of the slope below the •cropile wall will be possible. As a s .11 area •th no p. 'cularly signific. t species of pl. ts, the removal is not expected to have a negative enviro ental • pacts. The area is not a signific. t habitat area, thus no significt impact on mals is expected.

The Creekwalk is a public/private partnership in conjunction with the adjacent property o er. Currently the creekwalk extends only to the eastern portion of the property, but longer r. ge City plans contemplate extending the creekwalk up through the Six Mile Creek tural area to the Mulholl d Wildflower Preserve and the trail system that carries up through the watershed. After construction is complete, the East State Street wall will be visible to people walking on the creekwalk, which othe ise fo es on Six Mile Creek and the natural area of the gorge. The property o er, however, has ph to construct a building in between the reta. •ng wall . d the creekwalk so that the reta• • g wall project would no longer be visible from the creekwalk. At this • e, the plans call for • . treatment to the face of the wall *th the underst ding that the wall is likely to be covered up by a building . d no longer visible to the public. Page 2 of 3 IMPACT ON HISTORIC RESOURCES The project is • • 100 feet of the East Hill Historic District, but is not in the district proper. The top of the existing stone wall would be removed to grade. Also, the existing pedestri. pipe railing, which is painted green . d in disrepair 11 be removed. A new railing 11 be • talled along the sidewalk or top of the wall. Coordination •th the City's Historic Preservation Pl. er can help ensure that the railing is compatible with the district. Othe e, there is no negative pact to the historic district expected. IMPACT ON OPEN SPACE AREA No • pact to open space areas. IMPACT ON TRANSPORTATION The work 11 pr. ly be staged from the property below the wall. It is expected that the sidewalk along the south side of East State Street '11 be closed during the work. A pedestrian detour will be a part of the project. It is possible that a segment of the uphill bike lane will be impacted by the project; if so, the bike 1. e will be closed and people on bicycles '11 be asked to merge th the uphill travel lane for the relatively short dist. ce around the work zone. I ACT ON ENERGY No impact to co ty energy is expected. IMPACT ON NOISE D ODORS It is expected that there will be noise and odors during construction. Odors will be related to construction equipment. Noise will be related to construction equipment d to drilling the soldier piles . d 'cropiles for the wall syste No noise or odors are expected after construction is complete. IMPACT ON PUBLIC HEALTH No impact to public health is expected. IMPACT ON GRO H D CH CTER OF COMMUM OR NIEGHBOORHOOD No negative • pact to co unity growth or character is expected. Though the wall in itself does not contribute to gro or development, the wall plans were modified to acco odate future private development on the adjacent site.

The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to er assess the proposed action or whether available info ation is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse enviroi i ental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its determination of signifi ice. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: • Identify the impact based on the Part 2 respo and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. Assess the impo ce of the 'pact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to Occur. • The assessment should take into consideration any design el ent or project changes. • Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse enviroi • ental impact. • Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact ▪ For Conditional Negative Decl tions identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adv e enviro ental impacts will result.

A 1* oval of 2019 Sidewalk Assessment Roll — Resolution WHEREAS Section C-73 of the City Charter creates five Sidewalk Improvement Districts (each a "SID") for the construction and repair of sidewalk, and provides for an assessment against each property located in each SID for the benefits received by the property from such construction and repair; and WHEREAS the Board of Public Works is responsible for recommending to the Common Council a budget and schedule of work for each SID district for each fiscal year, following a public hearing; and WHEREAS the Board has received a proposed SID assessment roll, budget, and schedule of work for Fiscal Year 2019; and WHEREAS the City provided public notice of the SID assessment roll, budget, and schedule of work in July 2018; and WHEREAS owners of assessed properties were provided an opportunity to file written objections with the City Clerk, and present evidence to the Board at a public hearing on July 17, 2017; and WHEREAS the Board has given due consideration to the objections, if any, presented by the property owners in accordance with Section C-73; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the Board recommends, subject to amendment and approval by the Common Council, the 2019 budget and schedule of work attached hereto, and be it further RESOLVED, That the Board finally approves the schedule of assessments constituting the 2019 assessment roll, which are reflected on the assessment roll kept on file with the City Clerk, which roll the Superintendent of Public Works shall on behalf of the Board file with the Common Council in the form of an upcoming Committee agenda thereof, and which roll shall thereafter be confirmed, as amended, by the Common Council by local law after a public hearing, creating a lien upon the real property so assessed. P2OP, 5 of CITY OF ITHACA 108 East Green Street, Ithaca, New York 14850-5690 Office of City Engineer Telephone: 607 / 274-6530 Fax: 607 / 274-6415 TO: Board of Public Works FROM: Johnathan Licitra, Sidewalk Program Manager DATE: 7/11/2018 RE: 2019 Sidewalk Improvement District Work Plan and Budget Attached for your review are the draft 2019 Sidewalk Improvement District (SID) work plans and budget. A link to the 2018 assessment role is also provided here, as the doc i ent is too large to attach (ht / t ofithaea„ot 219/Sidewalk-Policy). On your agenda for July 17th is a public he. ng on the 2018 Sidewalk Improvement District assessment role, budget and work plan. At your August 14th meeting, I will request your approval to file a schedule of work and budget with Coi s on Council. The 2019 Work Plan budget was created based on the afor i entioned assessment role and reflects all credits for past work that were received before the May 1, 2018 application deadline. The costs for each sidewalk project are estimates based on anticipated quantities of work, as well as 't prices from past sid alk contracts. Final quantities of work performed will be dictated by bid prices received and field conditions, which could increase or decrease the . o t of work completed in the 2018 work plan. It is possible that issues o at this t. e .ght arise that will prevent some of these construction projects from moving fo ard d g the 2019 construction season. Conflicts with other construction projects *ght necessitate celation or postpon ent ofphi ed sidewalk work. Ongoing desi efforts ght identify construction b 'ers that will impact costs or make some projects technically infeasible. To proactively address any of the above potential construction issues and cost certainty—a contingency list of construction and design projects are included at the bottom of each sid alk district. These projects could replace locations in the work plan, if needed, or add to the project list if additional budget is available based on bid prices. For many of the district work pl , a Future Collaboration list exists. This secondary contingency list is intended to combine sidewalk design plans with City Street and/or Water/Sewer repair work. Additionally, this list can be used to pursue future grant applications for new sidewalk construction. Some specific project details: District 1: Due to rising bid costs, Li St sidewalk repairs scheduled for 2018 have been pushed back to 2019. District 2: This district will seek SID capital financing for the $195,000 cost to complete the sidewalk along the Belle Sh- a an School. Residents and school crossing guards have noted an increase in kids crossing along the road shoulder at this location. District 3: The 400 block of Ad. s St on the south side is missing a short section of sidewalk that this plan looks to construct. District 4: Three h I dred block of Wood St would get a new sidewalk along the south side and new ADA b r ps at Fair St. The work is being coordinated with the City Forester to limit residents' landscaping impacts. District 5: SID funding will cover 10% cost sh ng 'th the Federal Aid Transportation Alt atives Progr. (TAP) Grant for the Hector Street Complete Street Project. A current City General Fund Capital Project request is being reviewed to cover the r a g 10% construction costs. Construction for this project will be scheduled in 2019/2020.

GreeSt. Third Floor, City of Ithaca (City Hall) Ithaca, NY 14850 TO: City of lthaca Board of Public Works FROM: NeIs Bohn, Director of Community Development, IURA RE: Cherry Street Road Extension DATE: July 11.2O18 The IURA proposes to construct an approximately 400 linear foot extension of Cherry Street to create three building lots for expansion of the Cherry Street Industrial Park. The IURA will construct the road extension to public street standards and request the City to accept the street upon its completion. | seek Board of Public Works input on the conceptual plan and EY,uidance on any special criteria to accept the road extension as a public street. Please find attached for your review a conceptual plan for the subdivision and road extension. A second conceptual plan shows trees to be retained and removed. Background In 1999 the City of Ithaca acquired 8.5 acres of land at the end of Cherry Street. The 300 Southwest Area Land Use Plan earmarked the site as appropriate for expansion of the Cherry Street Industrial Park. In 2013, the city transferred a 6 -acre parcel to the IURA for economic development use. The remaining 2.5 acre parcel was retained for natural open space use. In 2018, Emrny's Organics, Inc. approached the IURA about acquisition of land to construct an approximately 10\000 square foot facility to relocate and expand their business operations. Their expansion will create 5 new jobs and retain 19 jobs in the city. The IURA has approved a proposed sale of land to Emmy's Organics, Inc. and authorized subdivision and construction of a road extension. The conveyance of land to Emmy's Organics is subject to Common Council approval.

Green Street Ithaca, NY 14850 607-274-6527 From: Susan Hurwitz [susanl©att.net] Sent: Monday, July 02, 2018 2:33 PM To: Michael Thorne; Kathy Servoss Subject: Water bill at 228 Wood Street Dear Mr. Thorne, Please consider my appeal of the water bill dated 6/20/2018 for $2,662.66 and the one dated 3/20/2018 for $3,541.72. I was out of town for the winter and rented my house to grad students who did not inform me of the leak. The meter was read on 3/1/18 indicating a leak but the Chamberlain's Office did not mail out a notice until 3/13/18. By the time I got the notice it was 3/20/18. I called a plumber who repaired the leak on 3/21/18. I believe that since the Chamberlain's did not notify me in a timely manner, I should not have to pay the full amount. There needs to be in place a way of notifying homeowners immediately to avoid this happening. I am a senior citizen and can ill afford this huge bill. Please consider my appeal. Thank you.
