Jack Boyd , owner / applicant . The following Letter was presented to the Planning Board from. Jack Boyd ( owner / applicant ) . " Danby town Council Danby Road Ithaca , N . Y . 14850 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen : 02 3 Planning Board Minutes December 16 , 1992 I am requesting the waiver of the 150 ft . minimum road frontage requirement through clustered subdivision procedure , for my property located on the Comfort Rd . extension ( T . P . # 15 . - 1 - 11 . 1 ) . My proposed subdivision will allow for a 20 ft . wide road access to an approx . 7 1 / 2 acre parcel . Furthermore , my proposed subdivision will have a built in ✓ estriction limiting the parcel to one dwelling . In proposing the afore mentioned subdivision I wish to maintain a sense of o pen spaciousness for the existing dwelling and a new dwelling . Subdividing my property using the 150 ft . minimum ✓ oad frontage requirement obstructs the face of the existing dwelling and creates an imbalance between the two parcels of land . In addition , subdividing with a 20 ft . road access has the least impact possible on all existing houses in the immediate area . Respectfully , Jack Boyd Susan Beeners explained the two variations of the proposal for a one ( 1 ) lot subdivision . She said that Mr . Boyd ' s preference is to have a twenty ( 20 ) foot right - of - way to the back acreage . D iscussion followed : Joel said that this parcel is in the low density zone and the road frontage is already more houses per mile than he would like to see in that zone and he wants it fixed so there will not be any more h ouses on this parcel . B ill Farrell asked why he could not get a variance for the seventy ( 70 ) feet he needs to get to his back land and let him have square ill lots . S usan said that her personal feeling is that anytime you can maximize use of existing road frontage by figuring out a way to legally permit less than 150 ft . and basically have some back lot d evelopment you are better off . S usan said that Mr . Boyd was willing to do a deed restriction on t he back seven ( 7 ) acres . There is a question as to whether another lot be could be allowed in the future . P aul said that if there is to be a seventy ( 70 ) foot right - of - way t o the back lots there should be deed restrictions to the property for no more than three ( 3 ) dwellings including the lot with the e xisting house . J ersey Hill Acres : S usan gave an update on the progress of Jersey Hill Acres Subdivision Proposal . Harriet Moore has received letter from the Tompkins County Health Department and she may lose one of the lots o n the plan . If a sand filter was required in any one of four lots t hat are sold within a three year period , a minimum lot of two ( 2 ) acres would be required on all the lots . II Fieldstone Circle Subdivision : li Susan Reported that a Fieldstone Circle Subdivision approval will ✓ equire an extension or reaffirmation as signed agreements have not been received within the one hundred eighty ( 180 ) day period . Susan w ill write a letter to Mr . Hoffay regarding the Fieldstone Circle Subdivision . ADJOURNMENT : O n a motion the meeting adjourned at 9 : 05 P . M .
