PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT BOARD NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING & SPECIAL JOINT MEETING WITH COMMON COUNCIL A Special Meeting of the PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT BOARD will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 17, 2019 in THE SECOND FLOOR CONFERENCE ROOM , City Hall, 108 E. Green Street, Ithaca, NY. AGENDA ITEM Start Time 1. Agenda Review 6:00 2. Joint Meeting with Common Council – Site Plan Review 6:05 A. Project: Carpenter Circle Project Location: Carpenter Park Road Applicant: Andrew Bodewes for Park Grove Realty LLC Actions: No Action - Presentation & Discussion RE: Architecture, Aesthetics & Sustainability Project Description: The project seeks to develop the existing 8.7-acre vacant parcel located adjacent to Route 13 and off of Third Street. The proposal includes a 64,000 SF medical office; two mixed-use buildings, which will include ground-level retail/restaurant/commercial uses of 23,810 SF, interior parking, 166 market-rate apartment units, and 4,652 SF of amenity space; and a residential building offering +/-42 residential units for residents earning 50-60% AMI. Site amenities will include public spaces for residents and visitors, bike parking, transit access for TCAT, open green space, a playground, and access to the Ithaca Community Gardens. The project includes 349 surface parking spaces and an internal road network with sidewalks and street trees. The project sponsor is seeking a Break in Access from NYS DOT to install an access road off of Route 13. The property is located in the Market District; however, the applicant has applied to Common Council for a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The project will require subdivision to separate each program element. This has been determined to be a Type 1 Action under the City of Ithaca Environmental Quality Review Ordinance §176-4(B)(1)(d), (i), (k), and (B)(6) and (8)(a) and the State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) §617.4(b)(11).

Green Street, 3rd Floor Ithaca, N.Y. 14850 Re: Carpenter Park September 17 Special Meeting Dear Lisa: Attached please find materials for the Special Meeting for Carpenter Park, as discussed at the previous Planning Board meeting on August 27. •Description of Green Infrastructure oSummary of the SWPPP •Views specified by the City looking into the site •Summary of Architecture for all buildings onsite Please let us know if there is anything else the City requires ahead of the September 17th Planning Board Special Meeting. Sincerely, Yamila Fournier Green Infrastructure Practices Implemented Onsite Bio-Retention areas Bio-retention areas are proposed throughout the site to treat stormwater runoff from impervious areas. Bio-Retention areas are shallow landscaped basin’s with engineered soils and vegetation to capture and treat stormwater runoff. The proposed areas are designed in accordance with the NYSDEC stormwater design manual to treat Water Quality Volume (WQv) and Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv) below is a summary of the required and provided WQv and RRv treated onsite in the engineered basins. Total RRv required: 0.11 cf Total RRv reduced/treated by Bio-Retention Areas: 0.12 cf Total WQv required: 0.562 Total WQv reduced/treated by Bio-Retention Areas: 0.562 Examples of Bio-Retention Areas Rendering of Carpenter Park Bio-Retention Plaza &RQWDFW ZZZEDUWRQSDUWQHUVFRP 1RUULVWRZQ (0DLQ6W6XLWH 1RUULVWRZQ3$ 3KLODGHOSKLD 'HODQFH\6WUG)ORRU 3KLODGHOSKLD3$ 3) Reduced water consumption for non-potable uses, which ultimately reduces the demand on municipal water systems. Water from rain barrels and cisterns, if managed correctly, may be used to water lawns Rain Barrels and Cisterns allow for an area reduction, which means the impervious area draining to them, can be reduced as part of a Runoff Reduction Technique. Total area reduced by the Cistern: 35,500 sf Examples of Rain Barrel systems Above Ground Rain Barrel Below Ground Rain Barrel Cistern A cistern or “rain barrel is proposed adjacent to building B, the purposed of the cistern is to capture and store stormwater runoff from the roof of building B and reuse it for a portion of the Irrigation system for the new gardens, adjacent to building B. Cistern’s provide many stormwater management benefits, including 1)Reduced stormwater runoff entering the drainage system, not only reduced volumes, but also delayed and/or reduced peak runoff flow rates during the water quality storm event. 2) Reduced transport of pollutants associated with atmospheric deposition on rooftops into receiving waters, especially heavy metals and other airborne pollutants -Parking Reduction: Reduce imperviousness on parking lots by eliminating unneeded spaces, providing compact car spaces and efficient parking lanes, minimizing stall dimensions, using porous pavement surfaces in overflow parking areas, and using multistoried parking decks where appropriate. Standard Stormwater Management Practices Standard SMPs are structural practices that are acceptable for water quality treatment and meet the performance standards defined in the NYSSWDM. These practices are designed to capture and treat the water quality volume (the portion infeasible to retain onsite using runoff reduction techniques) through one or more pollutant removal pathway(s) and their performances are documented by removal efficiency of specific pollutants. The standard SMPs are often sited as “end-of-the-pipe” treatment systems and designed to function as storage or flow-through systems. The Standard stormwater management practices proposed for Carpenter Park is a underground storm system, that conveys stormwater to and underground stormwater management facility located under the large parking area at the western edge of the site. The goal of the system is to reduce the overall runoff rate under its developed condition to less than it currently is today. Below is a hydraulic comparison of Carpenter Park as it is today, compared to the proposed development. Storm Event 1 year 10 year 100 year Existing Condition 9.3 cfs 25.0 cfs 55.7 cfs Develop Condition 6.3 cfs 15.0 cfs 34.7 cfs Reduction (%) 32% 40% 38% The post development condition includes dramatically reduced stormwater runoff rates from the current condition as a result of the Green infrastructure practices and standard stormwater management practices proposed. Other Practices Other Green infrastructure practices that are considered as part of site design are: -Tree plantings, along the streets/sidewalks that reduce the runoff from the adjacent sidewalk/impervious area -Locating development in less sensitive areas: Avoid sensitive resource areas such as floodplains, steep slopes, erodible soils, wetlands, mature forests and critical habitats by locating development to fit the terrain in areas that will create the least impact. -Soil restorations- Restore the original properties and porosity of the soil by deep till and amendment with compost to reduce the generation of runoff and enhance the runoff reduction performance of practices such as grass channels, filter strips, and tree clusters -Impervious area reduction - Minimize roadway widths and lengths to reduce site impervious area by providing less impervious area.
