M . , on the 7th day of May , 1984 , there were . PRESENT : Noel Desch , Supervisor George Kugler , Councilman Shirley Raffensperger , Councilwoman Marc Cramer , Councilman Henry McPeak , Councilman Gloria Howell , Councilwoman Robert Bartholf , Councilman ALSO PRESENT . Robert Parkin , Highway Superintendent James V . Buyoucos , Town Attorney Susan Beeners , Park Analysist Claude F . Robb , 221 Eastern Heights Drive Ellen Robb , 221 Eastern Heights Drive Nick Vandam, 413 Snyder Hill Road REPRESENTATIVES OF THE MEDIA . Deborah Gesensway , Ithaca Journal Mary Earle , WHCU Mike Clark , WTKO PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Supervisor led the assemblage in the Pledge of Allegiance . REPORT OF TOWN OFFICIALS Supervisor ' s Report Reapportionment Supervisor Desch reported that the County Reapportionment Committee is still working with us to properly locate the boundary between County District 11 and 12 on South Hill . The problem is compounded by the geographic density of Ithaca College Dormitories . It may make sense to create a separate district just for the dormitories in order to avoid a dislocation of the line to the disservice of the "permanent " residents . This could allow us to put all of South Hill in District 12 , as far as Six Mile Creek , Sewage Treatment Plant Bids are to be opened on May 8 at 2 : 00 P . M . We expect considerable bidder interest and a competitive price for the project . Groundbreaking could come before July 1 . The loss of Superintendent Don Kinsella will be felt for a long time . Don was a major part of our grant success and was a team player in forging a close working relationship amongst all of the parties on the Project . He went on to say that he knew he spoke for all of the Town in thanking him for his contribution and in wishing him every success in his new job . 91T Town Board 2 May 7 , 1984 The Supervisor noted that he would be going to New York with Dominick Cafferillo to the bid opening on the $ 12 , 500 , 000 BAN issue scheduled for May 16 at 10 : 00 A . M . The joint City/Town prospectus is finished and approved . On Monday , April 30th we made the first construction borrowing on the project in the amount of $ 1 , 000 , 000 at 6 . 5 % and reinvested it for a short while at 9 . 75 % . Water and Sewer Improvements We have verbal confirmation , from Albany , that our application to Audit and Control for establishment of the Water and Sewer Improvements have been approved , so we can move forward on the bidding of the projects scheduled for 1984 . The Town Staff is • winding up the bid documents and will have all of the necessary easements shortly . I have also asked the Staff to project our needs for operating revenues to keep our state of repairs and reliability to the standard we have come to expect . This may mean an increase in the water surcharge to enable us to get back on track in painting one reservoir per year . The last one we did was Ridgecrest in 1982 . Hungerford Hill and Pine Tree were due this year but our repair bills for water main breaks have left us with too little money to do them this year . Once these two are done , it will complete one cycle and enable us in 1986 to start the second cycle on a preventive maintenance basis . We also have some major repairs to PRV ' s , line valves , etc . Town Engineer ' s Report Town Clerk Jean Swartwood read the Town Engineer ' s Report . Grubbing and clearing operations will begin on the Burns Road in the latter part of May . The Summer Schedule for Northeast Transit begins May 21 . A five year contract is being discussed . Sewer plans for Bundy Road are near conpletion . Easements are being obtained , soil borings , final plan and specifications are prepared . Bidding will follow in rapid order . On May 24th , the NYSDOT will hold local meetings for affected owners on Route 79 rehabilitation project . The project is currently under reexamination to resolve drainage and safety concerns while minimizing environmental impacts . The water line extended under Hanshaw Road to connect to the Warren Farm to the Town system is underway . This involves a joint effort Town Highway Department , Bolton Point and City of Ithaca . Development of the In-house computer survey program , to reduce field notes and eventually plot features in a form suitable to trace final base maps from, is being developed . Susan Beeners and Shirley Raffensperger will have a detailed report on the Parks . Highway Superintendent ' s Re rt Highway Superintendent Robert Parkin reported that the "No Parking" signs in Eastern Heights have been installed . We have completed 50 % of the brooming of roads . We have installed several pipes and culverts for individuals with more to be done . Insulation in the ® loft area of the Highway Facility has been started . We have a man with a bulldozer working in the Eastern Heights Park . It took two men , two days to pick up trash bags after the Boy Scouts pick up of Sand Bank Road . We started Clean-up today , it looks like a weeks Project * Mr . Parkin went on to say that Eastern Heights roads will probably be surfaced this year .

The problem of people on Pennsylvania Avenue having to get into their cars no matter where they vote was discussed . Also , making Ithaca College a separate district was considered as a possibility . Councilwoman Raffensperger asked why the people in the Garden Apartments at Ithaca College could not vote in District #3 ? Supervisor Desch responded , that could put too many voters in District 3 . tIt was the general consensus that County Planning should move the boundary between District 2 and District 3 to a place where more of the voters along the Danby Road could vote at NCR instead of the Machinist Hall on the Elmira Road , FLOATING HOLIDAY RESOLUTION NO , 73 Motion by Councilwoman Raffensperger ; seconded by Councilman McPeak , WHEREAS , the Town employeees , by a majority vote , have elected to take their Floating Holiday on Friday , May 25th , NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED , that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby approves Friday , May 25 as a Floating Holiday for the Town of Ithaca employees .

D / EIS required . ;iLg n ture of Chairperson D ate 18 TOWN OF ITHACA ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM PART III RE : LAKE SHORE WEST Question # 1 : Will there be an effect as a result of a physical change to the project site ? Analysis : The slope of the . entire site is in the range of 10 - 15 percent . Phase 1 construction , and the construction of future Life Use Units , will be on the more moderate slopes immediately sur - rounding the former hospital . The slopes in the parcels designated for independent development are in the 10 - 15 percent range . The soil in this area is described by the Soil Conservation Service as very shallow , perhaps 20 inches to bedrock . This area is suitable for building , though blasting might be necessary if bedrock were encountered . Soil erosion is also a risk in these areas and precautions should be taken in landscaping . Mitigation : During site plan review for the independent developments , borings may be necessary to determine amount of blasting required to construct the health care facility . Blasting could have some short-term effect on the existing neighborhood and residents . Building design , site control , and landscaping should work with terrain in order to control erosion , Question # 6 : Will project affect drainage flow , patterns , or surface water runoff ? Analysis : Poorly sited construction and roadways , particularly in the parcels designated for independent development , would likely result in soil erosion and unnecessary impacts on natural drainageways . Mitigation : Careful site plan review is required by the Planning Board , with particular emphasis on the location and sizing of all culverts , and drainageways . Road construction and parking facilities should be carefully evaluated during site plan review to minimize downhill impacts of increased runoff . Check damming and riprapping may be necessary , when in the opin - ion of the Town Engineer , additional measures are needed to control runoff volume and flow and minimize erosion . Conclusions : The master site plan , as presented , suggests negligible 19 environmental impacts resulting from the construction of the Life Use Units . Any possible negative impacts would accom - pany construction associated with the independent develop - ments . Careful site plan review , with particular attention to landscaping and erosion control , should '. be expected at such time as particular independent developments are proposed . _ � 20 IN THE MATTER OF : Lake Shore West Development RESOLUTION : Town of Ithaca Town Board Adopted April 9 , 1984 MOTION by Councilman Mc Peak , seconded by Councilman Bartolf RESOLVED , that the Town of Ithaca Town Board , acting as lead agency in the review of the proposed Lake Shore West development , approve and hereby does approve the Environmental Assessment Form as submitted March 8 , 1984 ; and FURTHER RESOLVED , that pursuant to Local Law #3 , 1980 , this action is classified as Type I ; and FURTHER RESOLVED , that the Town of Ithaca Town Board , has determined from the Environmental Assessment Form and all pertinent information that the the construction of the 400 centralized Life Use Units will not significantly affect the environment provided that : .10 The developer contribute to the construction of the new entrance road on terms to be established by the Planning Board , and 20 the developer will determine the number and location of the parking spaces required for the 400 life use units and employees to the satis - faction of the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals , and 39 establish to the satisfaction of the Town Engineer that adequate capacity exists in the water and sewer on - site utility networks as well as the Town and City system ; it is FURTHER RESOLVED , that , given the information provided in the Environ - mental Assessment Form , the construction of the nursing complex may signif- icantly impact the environment and , therefore , further information is requested . The questions to be specifically addressed in an Environmental Impact Statement are : 1 . What the traffic impacts from the nursing facility would be on circulation through the project site and the adjoining neighborhood ; 2 . How storm drainage and surface runoff from the proposed nursing facility will be accommodated within existing stream channels ; 3 . How much clearing of the existing landscape would be necessary in order to construct that nursing facility , as planned ; 4 . What blasting , if any , would be required in order to develop the nursing facility and adequate associated parking ; 5 . Has there been any dumping of hazardous wastes or materials on the site indicated for independant development as a nursing facility ; 21 6 . How many permanent employees will be required by the nursing complex ;. 7 . Will the water and sewer system to have sufficient capacity to handle the additional capacity required by the nursing . complex * 8 . What open space amenities are to be provided for the nursing home residents . CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY . 4 / 23 / 84 22 QUESTION # 1 : What the traffic impacts from the nursing facility would be on - circulation through the project site and the adjoining neighborhood ; ANSWER : The attached report from Lowell Barnes ( Appendix # 3 ) des- cribes atypical day ' s traffic flow in considerable detail . The most informed opinion at this time is that ' the majority of traffic to the nursing complex will pass through the Lake Shore West internal driveway and will not find any advantage in traveling Indian Creek Road . As a result , the expected impact on the adjacent neighborhood is expected to be small . QUESTION # 2 : How storm drainage and surface runoff from the proposed nursing facility will be accommodated within existing stream channels ; ANSWER : As described in the attached letter from Mr . Franklin Van Volkinburg of Fred H . Thomas Associates ( Appendix #6 ) , it is anticipated that retention ponds will be built as needed to accomodate runoff from the nursing facility . Further inves - tigation will be accomplished during the actual engineering design to determine whether surface or subsurface basins would be more effective . The location of all drainage structure would be subject to review by the Planning Board and the Town Engineer . QUESTION #3 : How much clearing of the existing landscape would be necessary in order to construct that nursing facility , as planned ; ANSWERS : Mr . Van Volkinburg ' s letter ( Appendix # 6 ) describes the amount of site clearing required for the nursing home , parking areas , and grading transitions as a total of 2001 acres ; approximately 23 . 7 % of the nursing home site total . QUESTION # 4 : What blasting , if any , would be required in order to develop the nursing facility and adequate associated parking ; ANSWER : In a telephone conversation with Mr . Van Volkinburg on May 3 , 1984 I was told that , in answer to question - #4 , extensive blasting on the site would make the nursing home development cost prohibitive . It was stated that the intent and expectation of the architects and engineers is to site the building and associated parking in such a way as to avoid the need for . blasting on the site . This opinion is reinforced by the letter from - Kevin Lewis , the principal architect for the development ( Appendix # 5 ) . 24 _:...

QUESTION # 5 : Has there been any dumping of hazardous wastes or materials on the site indicated for independant development as a nursing facility ; ANSWER : The attached letter from Donn Williams ( Appendix # 7 ) simply states that , neither he , nor the head groundskeeper for the Hospital , have any knowledge of hazardous waste of materials having been dumped on the site . QUESTION # 6 : How many permanent employees will be required by the nursing complex ; ANSWER : In a telephone conversation with the offices of Fleck and Lewis on May 3 , 1984 a figure of 60 - 70 permanent employees was presented . The report of S . Lowell Barnes ( Appendix #3 ) describes the typical hour-to- hour staffing requirements in considerable detail . QUESTION # 7 : Will the water and sewer system to have sufficient capacity to handle the additional capacity required by the nursing complex ; ANSWER : In the letter from Mr . Van Volkinburg ( Appendix # 6 ) , information is presented which indicates that the utility lines to the site , and the capacity of the Townwide water and sewer system in general , will be adequate to serve the facility ' s present and expected future needs . Superintendent of Public Works Kinsella and Town Engineer Fabbroni are both referred to in support of this information . QUESTION #8 : What open space amenities are to be provided for the. nursing home residents . ANSWER : As described in Lowell Barnes report ( Appendix # 3 ) , the activities and programs in the nursing home appear to . be exclusively indoor in nature . For patients in a nursing home, open space amenities more extensive than pleasant landscaped surroundings may be underutilized . Kevin Lewis ' cover letter ( Appendix # 2 ) indicates that terraced , landscaped areas are typically provided in nursing homes and are planned . for this f acility . 25 APPENDIX : Letters and Supporting Documentation 1 .

Peter Iovi Ithaca , New York Re . lake Shore West - Specific questions raised =. by the TOWN OF ITHACA The following comments represent responses to specific questions raised by the Town of Ithaca Boa�'ds . The questions pertain to the development of a Nursing Complex on the project site . These questions have been addressed by Fleck & Lewis , Architects , it ' s partner in this project - Fred H . Thomas Assoc . , Architects & Engineers , The ITD Group , Inc . , owners of the project and by the Tompkins County Dept . of Public Works . In responses. to the Town ' s request for this information to be made available as soon as possible prior to the May 7th board meeting , specific questions have been answered in letter form from the above firms and have been sent directly to the Town Planning Office in an attempt to save time . The specific questions responded to , were taken from a draft resolution prepared by the Town Planner for the Town Board , and are as follows : 1 . "What the traffic impacts from the nursing facility would be on circulation through the project site and the adjoining neighbor- hood " 24 " How storm drainage and surface runoff from the proposed nursing facility will be accommodated within existing stream channels ? " 30 " How much clearing of the existing landscape would be necessary in order .to construct that nursing facility , as planned? " 40 "What blasting , if any , would be required in order to develop the nursing facility and adequate associated parking? " S . " Has there been any dumping of hazardous wast or materials on the site indicated for independent development as a nursing facility?

BROOKE FLECK A • 1 • A EDWARDC . LEWISA • 14A April 30 , 1984 Town of Ithaca Attn : Mr . Peter Lovi , Town Planner Ithaca , New York 14850 . Dear Peter : The attached report from S . Lowell Barnes & Associates was received by me today . I am forwarding it to you so it can e be compiled with the other information sent to you from the other firms . Please note Mr . Barnes a well known Gerontologist is an expert in planning retirement communities which include nursing complexes . Mr . Barnes ' report . addresses . in part , questions 116 , and 8 . His report goes into very detailed programing for the project . Question # 1 . " What the traffic impacts from the nursing facility could be on circulation through the project site and the adjoining neighborhood ? ". This question has been addressed on page 3 under the heading " Traffic Analysis . " ' This is an actual projected workday routine . The " Traffic Summary " on page 4 locates the great - est amount of traffic impact in terms of time of day . The question not addressed was the separation of traffic load between the complex side or the adjoining neighborhood side . The major work force populace being centered in the Ithaca area , and with the construction of the new entrance road to the complex we believe that the vast majority of increased traffic will happen along the Lake Shore West Hospital corridor to Rt . 96 , and not through the adjoining residential neighborhood . Nothing . at this time would indicate any appreciable traffic increase along the Indian Creek Road . Mr . Barnes traffic analysis did not mention . the estimated amount of traffic generated by visitors to the complex . He has indicated to this office that visitors to a nusing home are few and infrequent . The visitation that does occur gen- erally happens on the weekends , Sunday in particular and would not rival the majority of staff traffic or parking requirements associated with a Monday to Friday work week . 310 BRIDGMAN BUILDING P.

Peter Lovi April 30 , 1984 Page 2 As indicated on our Gray Handbook dated March 8th , we plan on providing the amount of parking as required by the code . Question # 6 , " How many permanent employees will be required by the nursing complex ? " I believe this question has been more than sufficiently , answered in Mr . Barnes report pages 2 and 3 . Question # 8 , " What open space amentities are to be provided for the nursing home residents ? " Mr . Barnes has gone into great detail to describe the inter - nal amentities and programs associated with the nursing complex on page 1 and 2 of his report . However , I believe the term " Open Space " in the question refers to external space as well as internal . As any of us who have designed , developed or even visited a nursing complex are aware , little outside activity areas are required or necessary for the patients . The vast majority or activities are to happen internally and under close scrutiny . We are plan- ning , as is the norm for nursing complexes an outside garden terrace area adjacent to the public spaces for sitting and sunning . It is important to remember patients in this . complex are in- firmed and recreational activities are generally confined to interior facilites . The attached report of Mr . Barnes goes into greater detail on these 3 questions . Very truly yours , FLECK & LEWIS , ARCHITECTS Kevin E .

It is important to point out that car pooling goes on particularly with the nurse aides , housekeepers and food service personnel who work the same shift ( they average about two to a car . Also we will be purchasing the time of some existing hospital personnel for some of the above listed positions . Another variable is absenteeism , our experience . tells us that two to three people will be absent daily and this work up assumes 100% attendence . 33 - Mr . Kevin Lewis , Page Four Traffic Summary The greatest traffic flow impact will be at 7 A . M . and at 3 P . M . when the nursing shifts change . Given the car pooling reality this means that about 9 or 10 cars will be arriving between 6 : 40 A . M . and 7 A . M . and about 4 cars will be leaving between 7 A . M . and 7 : 15 A . M . As indicated previously this schedule can be adjusted to the hospital ' s shift change hours to reduce the total impact. The 3 P . M . shift change will involve about 7 cars arriving between 2 : 40 P . M . and 3 P . M . and about 9 or 10 cars leaving between 3 P . M . and 3 : 15 P . M . The next greatest traffic impact will be between 8 : 15 and 9 A . M . involving the arrival of housekeeping , laundry , some nursing , administrative and social service personnel about 12 cars and between 4 : 30 P . M . and 5 : 15 P . M . when they leave . The other shift changes involve various times and will not have a noticeable impact , no more than 4 or 5 cars coming or going at a time interval . I hope this information is helpful to you .

Seline Alexander Lake Shore West Retirement Coaraunity . 1287 TrLmiansburg Road K-Building Ithaca , N . Y . 14850 Dear Ms . - Alexander : You have asked me to provide you with an estimate of the amount of parking that will be required at Lake Shore West Retirement Community during its various developmental phases . In our approximately thirteen years experience in developing and operating retirement communities we have never experienced such a community with more than about- 50% to 60% of residents with cars . This is the case due to • the age of these residents and also due to the facility providing a transportation service . In reality , they do not need a car . The staff of this type facility are shift - type employees and therefore require j less parking than a typical business . Lake Shore West plans the development of about 150 apartment units in its first phase which will require about 50 full and part - time employees . The maximum number of parkings spaces needed would be about 130 spaces . These spaces would breakdown as follows : 90 resident cars , 30 staff cars and about 10 .spaces for visitors , - At total development ( about 400 units ) approximately 240 spaces would be needed for resident cars , 80 spaces for staff cars and about 25 spaces for visitors , totaling 345 spaces . I would emphasize that these estimates are the maximum that could be needed . The actual number of spaces needed will most probably be less . I hope this information is helpful to you and will help releave the Town of ! Ithaca ' s concern about your parking needs . i incerely • y �' 6 .

Peter lovi Ithaca , NY 14850 Re : Lake Shore West - Answer to question #4 , raised in a resolution to the Town Board about future construction of the Nursing Com- plex . Question # 4 - "What blasting ,, if any , would be required in order to develop the nursing facility and adequate associated parking? Dear Peter . At this stage of the Nursing Facility development with only a concep- teal footprint location to go by , it is difficult to make an accurate determination for any future blasting requirements . While the Soil Conservation Service describes the soil in this area as being 20 " to bedrock , test borings done at the time of the new hospital construction which would be more representative , indicate that there is only thinly bedded shale and siltstone in the upper strata and siltstone or sand- stone in the lower strata in this general area . These borings indicated that bedrock was from 10 feet to 12 feet below surface . This fact combined with no usual sign of ledge or outcroppings , indicate that blasting probably would not be required . However , it would be . premature to rule it out completely . Due to the large costs implied in blasting our final engineering design of the footings for the structure will be such to avoid , if all possible , any need to blast . At the time of the contract development stage when the documents required for actual construction will be developed , test borings at corner positions of the building will be taken to determine actual sub-surface conditions . This is the only available method for determining ledge conditions . Sincerely , FLECK & =S , ARCHITECTS Kevin E . Lewis KEL : ma 310 BRIDGMAN BUILDING P. O.

Peter Levi Town Planner Town of Ithaca 126 East Seneca Street Ithaca , New York 14850 Re : Lake Shore West Questions Raised by Resolution of the Town Board Dear Mr . Levi : This is to respond to certain specific questions raised by the Ithaca Town Board in its resolution approving the Environmental Assessment Form for this development , These questions deal with storm drainage and landscape clearing for the proposed nursing facility as well as with the adequacy of the water and sewer systems to serve the nursing facility and the Life Use residential units . Question # 2 on the nursing complex asks how storm drain- age and surface runoff from the facility will be accom= modated within the existing stream channels . It is anticipated that retention basins will be built to handle the additional runoff from impervious surfaces created by Fred H . Thomas construction of the nursing facility , Further site investigation will be required to determine whether Peter Brellochs surface or subsurface basins can be more easily accom- Angelo Franco , Jr. modated within the existing topographic constraints . Retention basins would be designed to allow storm water James S . Loveall collected during peak runoff periods to be discharged Robert M . Mueller into the existing stream corridors at a controlled flow Michael R . Schwartz rate . This controlled flow rate would be established to Franklin Van Volkinburg nominally equal the calculated current runoff rate from Charles Dvorak 38 • Mr . Peter Levi May 2 , 1984 Page 2 this portion of the site and would therefore have no significant effect on the peak volume of water flow in the stream channel . Question # 3 on the nursing complex asks how much clearing of the existing landscape would be necessary in order to construct the nursing facility , as planned . The clearing required to allow for building placement , parking areas , entry drive installation and grading transitions would total approximately 2 . 01 acres or 23 . 7 % of the 8 . 48 acre Parcel 4 . Of the 2 . 01 cleared acres , approximately . 9 acres would not be covered by the building or by paved surfaces and these areas would be revegetated . Two questions in the Resolution ask about adequacy of the water and sewer systems to serve the new development . In order to avoid repetition , we will answer them together . Water is provided to the hospital complex by a 10 " line connected to the Town ' s water distribution system which is supplied by the City of Ithaca . The main line then loops around the old and new hospitals serving domestic water and fire fighting systems within the buildings as well as fire hydrants located around the perimeter of the buildings . The on- site distribution system is more than adequate to serve the Life Use units in the old hospital building and , with appropriate extensions , the nursing facility also . We have discussed the projected water needs of 55 , 000 gallons per day for both buildings with your engineer , Mr . Fabroni , and with the City ' s Superin- tendent of Public Works , Mr . Kinsella , and they have both . expressed no reservations about their systems ' ability to supply this amount . Sewage from the hospital complex is carried by a 10" gravity sewer line to the City of Ithaca ' s collection and treatment system . On- site sewer lines from the buildings are generally 8 " size and these connect to the 10" main sewer at a point approximately 300 feet east of the old hospital laundry . The 10 " sewer then runs 7 , 000 feet to the city limit with a total drop of about 160 feet for an average slope of 2 . 3 % . A 10" gravity sewer at 2 . 37. slope and flowing full can handle a little over 3 cubic feet of flow per second or about 1 , 400 gallons per minute . According to meter readings taken by Bolton Point personnel , the area served by this sewer line currently uses an . average of 151 , 000 gallons of water per day .

Supervisor Desch noted the following resolution , with conditions , passed by the Planning Board . RESOLVED , that concerning the proposal of Mr . Rocco Lucente to rezone lands on Sapsucker Woods Road , Town of Ithaca Tax Parcels No . 6-70 -10 -3 . 12 through 6-70 - 10 -3 . 25 , the Planning Board made and hereby does make the following determinations , findings , and recommendations to the Town Board : 1 . There is a need for the proposed use in the proposed location in order to reduce the number of unrelated persons presently permitted to live in the 14 properties . At present , there may be as many as 14 unrelated persons residing in each of the 14 structures . The parking areas , garbage facilities , size of lots , and landscaping , are insufficient to properly accommodate such a number of unrelated persons in a manner harmonious with the general character of the surrounding neighborhood . It is the developer ' s plan to partition each level of the building into a one-bedroom and a two-bedrocm dwelling unit , each with a full bathroom and kitchen . The Planning Board understands that the utilities necessary for such a conversion are largely in place . The present proposal would reduce the number of unrelated persons permitted in each of the 14 structures . The developer has indicated his willingness to accept restrictive covenants in each of the deeds , each convenant to list each of the 13 other properties and the Town as beneficiaries with full powers of enforcement . These covenants would restrict the occupancy to one household for each of the one-bedrocm dwelling units per building and a household and one unrelated person for each unit with two or more bedrooms . A household would be defined as "Any number of ® related persons , but no more than two unrelated persons occupying a single dwelling unit . " As a result of these occupancy restrictions , a maximum number of 10 unrelated persons would be Permitted to live in each of the 14 structures . The Planning Board further recommends that , in the event that a subsequent owner remodels any of the 14 buildings to have less than 4 dwelling units , such a change shall be irreversible , and such an owner shall forfeit an y prior , non-conforming right to maintain 4 dwelling units on the property . The sole exception to this provision should be in case of destruction by fire or act of God , Town Board 11 May 7 , 1984 the owner shall have the opportunity to rebuild a structure , of similar dimensions , and maintain 4 dwelling units . If , however , the owner rebuilds with a structure of different dimensions or less than 4 dwelling units , the owner shall have forfeited the right to subsequently remodel the building and maintain 4 dwelling units . 2 . The existing and probable future character of the neighborhood will be improved as a result of this proposal . At present and in the past , large numbers of automobiles have parked in the front yards and alongside the street , refuse has been strewn around the garbage receptacles , and the receptacles themselves are not appropriately landscaped . ® Following the proposed site plan and landscaping scheme , and in conjunction with the occupancy restrictions , the aesthetic quality of Sapsucker Woods Road will be improved . New trees and shrubs will be planted , parking areas will be improved , graded , defined , and paved with oil and stone . The reduction in the number of unrelated persons will reduce the traffic through the neighborhood , and the partition of the building into separate apartments should have the effect or reducing overall noise in the area . 3 . The proposed change would be in accordance with a conprehensive plan of development of the Town . A policy of the Ccmprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance is to allow for a variety of land uses and residential alternatives in the Town . In addition , it is desirable for non-conforming uses to be gradually brought into substantial , if not actual , conformance with the accepted zoning pattern for the Town and the immediate neighborhood character . The present development scheme would permit the developer to economically convert and sell these structures to as many as 14 independent owners . It is considered that competitive pressures , and the requirements of final site plan approval , will result in a more attractive and conventionally residential neighborhood than exists at present . Over the longer run , a provision in the resolution that any subsequent conversion of these properties to a structure with less than four dwelling units is irreversible will result in gradual return of this neighborhood to an R15 residential character indistinguishable from the remainder of the community , and the Town in general . IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED , that the Planning Board reccmmmend and hereby does recommend the following resolution for the consideration . of the Town Board . " The Town Board of the Town of Ithaca resolves to amend the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Ithaca to permit the 14 buildings located at 108 through . 230 Sapsucker Woods Road , Town of Ithaca Tax Parcels Nos . 6-70 -10 -3 . 12 through 6 -70 -10 -3 . 25 to be modified to permit the conversion of each existing building to 4 dwelling units subject to the following terms and conditions : 1 . The underlying zoning designation of the land shall remain Residential District R15 and all yard , lot , and area requirements , ® except as otherwise modified by this resolution , shall remain in effect . 2 . The front yard and parking requirements of this district are hereby modified to permit construction of a parking area as described in a final site plan to be approved by the Planning Board , 3 . Each of the 14 buildings affected by this amendment shall be permitted to be remodeled as two , two-bedroom dwelling units and two , one-bedroom dwelling units , as more particularly detailed in a 92T Town Board 12 May 7 , 1984 final building plan and final site plan to be approved by the Planning Board . 4 . The occupancy of the one-bedroom dwelling units shall be limited to one household , where a household is defined as , ' any number of related persons , but no more than two unrelated persons occupying a single dwelling unit . ' 5 . The occupancy of the two-bedroom dwelling units shall be limited to one household and one unrelated person . 6 . Covenants completely describing these occupancy restrictions shall be placed in the deeds to each of the properties , naming each ® of the other 13 properties affected by this amendment as principal beneficiaries of these covenants and giving the Town of Ithaca the right , but not the obligation , of enforcement . 7 . An additional covenant shall be placed in all the deeds setting forth that , in the event a building is subsequently modified so as to have fewer than four dwelling units , such modification is irreversible , and such an owner shall forfeit any prior right to maintain 4 dwelling units on the property . 8 . The sole exception to this provisions shall be in case of destruction by fire or act of God , the owner shall have the opportunity to rebuid a similar structure , of similar dimensions , and maintain 4 dwelling units . If , however , the owner rebuilds with a structure of different dimensions or less than 4 dwelling units , the owner shall have forfeited the right to subsequently remodel the building and maintain 4 dwelling units . 9 . The present owner and developer accepts , in written form , that at such time as construction commences on the modification of any property covered by this amendment , he forever waives and forfeits any future right to rent that particular building , or any structure which may be later constructed on that particular site , to more unrelated persons than permitted by the occupany restrictions described above . 10 . Each of the 14 buildings is to be owner-occupied . Supervisor Desch noted that there was a negative declaration on the Environmental Assessment Form . He then asked if anyone present wished to speak for or against the proposed rezoning . Town Attornev James Buvoucos noted _that-in- the Preamble a household Mr . Peter Levi May 2 , 1984 Page 3 development brings the total water consumption to 206 , 000 gallons per day which is an average of 143 gallons per minute . If we assume that peak flow equals three times average flow , we have a peak flow of 429 gallons per minute which is about 30 % of the sewer line ' s full capacity . On this basis we have concluded that the 10" sewer line will easily be capable of handling the sewage flow from the new facilities . Mr . Kinsella has also assured us that this increased flow poses no problem for the City ' s treatment plant . It should be pointed out that these conclusions are based on the capacities of the water and sewer systems as they currently exist and are not dependent upon the improve- ments that are planned for increasing the capacities of both systems in the future . We trust that these comments will serve the Town ' s needs in assessing the impact of this development . Please feel free to contact us if any further information is required .

Kevin Lewis , Fleck & Lewis 40 Town Board 13 May 7 , 1984 Town Planner Peter Lovi remarked that in the one bedroom apartment you could have three persons living there , however , it would not be possible in the studio apartments . Town Attorney Buyoucos asked the Board if they understood the provisions of the resolution that if any of the buildings were completely destroyed by an act of God , the owners could build a 4 unit replacement unit or if the building had been remodeled to a lesser amount of units the owner could only rebuild to this lesser amount . Councilman Cramer asked what would happen if the four unit building was destroyed by fire ? ® Town Attorney Buyoucos responded , the owner could replace with a four unit building . Councilman McPeak ' asked , what if the building has been modified to two units ? The Town Attorney responded , then only a two unit building can be constructed . The Town Attorney then asked were is the proposed application for the site plan and landscaping ? Town Planner Lovi responded , the Town has the site plan . Town Attorney Buyoucos responded that he wanted a copy . He questioned if it showed parking spaces ? Town Planner Lovi responded , yes . Town Attorney Buyoucos stated that he hoped the public understood that if the 14 buildings were sold to one person , to make money , occupancy restrictions then would not be enforced by the other beneficiaries . If there was a violation of the restrictive covenance you would need the marines to take action . Councilman McPeak noted that if a person buys all 14 units , he could live in one and be in compliance . Mr . Lovi responded that the Planning Board ' s intent was that each building be owner occupied . Town Attorney Buyoucos responded that he did not care what the intent was , he wanted it clearer . Each building must be sold separately and then the owner must live in the building . A man in attendance questioned someone buying a building then he goes on sabbatic and needs to rent the house . Town Attorney Buyoucos answered , that would be okay . The man then added that our only concern is not to prohibit a ® buyer , if he goes on sabbatic , etc . Supervisor Desch then closed the public hearing . Noting that the best way is to consider approving the restrictions we are comforable with and have the Town Attorney clean up the language .
