REPORT OF TOWN OFFICIALS
Supervisor ' s Report
Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Plan BAN Renewal
Supervisor Desch stated that on May 30th , the $ 10 , 000 , 000 in BAN ' s
for the plant were renewed . He went on to say that excellent bids
were received with a part of each of the City and Town notes coming
in at 5 . 32 % and the remaining at 5 . 33 % and 5 . 34% . We had a bid at
Town Board 2 June 10 , 1985
5 . 28% that had to be rejected because the bidder filled the wrong
number on the bid letter .
The Supervisor went on to say , as you know borrowing rates are
under 7% so the short term spread for investments will not be as
good as the 3-4 % we have enjoyed so far .
Nature Park - Lick Brook
Supervisor Desch stated that he had received a letter inviting us
to participate in the establishment of a Nature Museum in Lick
Brook . Apparently fund raising has already begun . He went on to
say that he presumed that at some point , the formal environmental
review process would begin .
Personnel Committee
The Personnel CaTmittee has met and begun the process of reviewing
a draft of the Personnel Manual which will reflect personnel
policies in place . Proposals for changes will be forthcoming
during the next several months so that any 1986 budget implications
can be considered .
Water/Sewer Extension Planning
The Supervisor noted that we had received a significant response to
our Newsletter item having to do with needs for water/ sewer
extensions . For the most part the responses have come from West
Hill . The people on West Haven who don ' t have sewer now would like
it now that they have water . Several residents in the Woolf Lane
area are interested , residents of Trumansburg Road above the
hospital tank pressure zone are interested in water , so we will
take these interests into account in our future planning . He went
on to say that we have an item on the agenda involved with public
water service along the West Shore and we will be looking at sewer
along the East Shore now that access to a main is possible at the
new Youth Facility , which is moving forward .
As you may have noticed , the Tin Can is almost gone . The City
Attorney is working on the annexation swap involving the Tin Can
properties and the East Shore properties .
Route 96 Project
There are at least two State DOT presentations on the Route 96
alternatives next week . One will be Tuesday evening , July 18 at
the County Court Room at 7 : 00 P . M. , and the second on June 20 in
Common Council Chambers at 7 : 30 P . M. The Supervisor urged Town
Board members and staff to attend at least one of these
presentations . He went on to say that we must do everything in our
power to convince our City colleagues that a new road up the hill
is essential with or without an overpass over the railroad .
Pine Tree Road Relocation
® Supervisor Desch stated that on Friday , . he , Shirley Raffensperger
and Larry Fabbroni had met with representatives of the County and
Cornell to discuss the various possibilities for improvement to the
circulation in the East Hill Plaza and Route 366 areas . No
conclusions were reached but there is agreement that major
improvements will be necessary and there seems to be a desire to
develop an overall plan to resolve the long term problems in the
area .
1986 Town Bud et
Town Board 3 June 10 , 1985
Within the next month the early stages of the budget process will
begin . Any Town Board members having ideas or thoughts about new
budgetary needs should contact me within the next month so that any
necessary cost analyses can be accomplished in time for serious
consideration . We will for example , be developing the first
operating budget for the new Wastewater Treatment Plant even though
construction is not expected to be completed until late 1986 . The
training cycle for new plant personnel and the Chief Operator will
be on board before the end of 1985 .
He went on to say that he expects we will know the fate of Federal
Revenue Sharing before the final Town Budget Hearing . If not , we
may simply hold off allocating the 1986 Entitlement Period .
FLOATING HOLIDAY
Supervisor Desch stated that the Town employees have requested the
designation of Friday , July 5 as the Floating Holiday ,
RESOLUTION NO . 103
Motion by Councilwoman Howell ; seconded by Councilman McPeak ,
RESOLVED , that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby approve
the Town of Ithaca employees taking their Floating Holiday July
5th .
(Desch , Kugler , Raffensperger , Cramer , McPeak , Howell and Bartholf
voting Aye . Nays - none) .
Town Engineer ' s Report
Town Engineer Fabbroni noted that the Board members had a copy of
his report in their folders . (Copy attached to minutes ) . He then
went on to highlight his report . The installation of the main
water line on South Hill and West Hill for Phase II has been
completed . The contractor is now installing service lines into the
properties . Phase I of the is vertially complete , with clean up on
Bundy Road , Sugar Bush Lane and Danby Road by L ' Auberge . He noted
that the contractor is anxious to receive his final payment .
Councilman McPeak asked how much of the final payment Was being
held by the Town .
Town Engineer Fabbroni responded , $ 12 , 000 is still being held .
The Engineer went on to report that there is a small break in the
water line on the Forest Home Bridge . Every place where the pipe
lays cn the bridge salt has worked its way into the pipe . He went
on to note that the pipe is over 40 years old .
Councilman McPeak asked which bridge is the second bridge?
® Town Engineer Fabbroni responded , the bridge closest -to Flat Rock ,
The Engineer went on to say that he recommends that the main be
replaced from valve pit to valve pit . A neoprene jacket of some
type should be installed on the pipe or pipe already jacketed
should be used . He stated that he would have a recommendation now
but he wants to look into the two possibilities . The bridge
support is metal to metal and has caused problems at every support .
Every car crossing the bridge vibrates the pipe .

Agency Name Of h a Toward Agency Preparers Name Peter M _ TdWi
Preparer's Signaturefritle Town Planner Date
n
PROJECT : Park Lane Extension
APPENDIX A . The existing air quality , and surface and
groundwater will not be adversely affected by this
action . Solid waste production or disposal will
be similarly unaffected .
Insofar as there will be traffic using a new road
where there is presently open space , there will be
an increase in noise levels associated with this
action . However , this road will not be a through
street alternative to Pine Tree Road . Therefore ,
the traffic service area is confined to the
Eastern Heights community . Noise associated with
this road will be comparable to that presently
associated with principal residential streets in
this area .
There is a potential for erosion and drainage
problems , both during construction and afterwards .
Deep cuts in the area of 10 - 20 feet are required
at the base of the hill . Positive steps , such as
the use of hay- bale barriers , shall be taken to
control erosion during construction . The lower
300 feet will be storm sewered and retaining walls
will be constructed as necessary to stabilize cut
slopes . These mitigation measures , as well as
extensive revegetation , should significantly
mitigate this potential problem .
APPENDIX B The prevailing community character of the area is
one and two - family homes . The remaining open land
on Snyder Hill will be developed comparably . This
road extension is an safety improvement which
provides an alternative to Snyder Hill Road as a
means of access to and from the Eastern Heights
development . The residential character of the
area will not be adversely affected .
APPENDIX C This road extension has been shown on the Official
Highway Map from 19680 Construction would be in
conformance with a comprehensive plan of develop -
ment and is required as a condition of future
subdivision approvals for the lands owned , by
Frandsen and Pine Tree Associates ,
APPENDIX D There are two residential subdivisions which may
not proceed with construction until this road has
been constructed . The lands owned by William
Frandsen are in the immediate vicinity of this
road . At this time , there are approximately 55
lots which may be developed in the future and
which will be served by this road . The lands
owned by Pine Tree Associates are located to the
northwest of this road extension . An additional
26 lots may be eventually developed on this
property .
APPENDIX E There are no secondary or cumulative effects which
have been associated with this action .
SUMMARY : This road extension is in conformance with the
comprehensive development plan of the Town . The
Highway Master Plan of 1968 identified the need for a
second means of access and egress from Snyder Hill .
This road may be characterized as a residential collec -
tor street which will not substantially disturb the
character of the Eastern Heights community .
The aspect of the project most likely to create adverse
environmental impacts is the need for sizable cuts in
the hillside slopes . As indicated above , positive
erosion control will be maintained throughout the
construction zone and all disturbed areas will be
completely revegetated .
I recommend a determination of negative environmental
significance for this project .
Peter M . Lovi
Town Planner
June 6 , 1985
Town Board 4 June 10 , 1985
The Town Engineer noted that he was waiting for agreements with the
City , Village of Cayuga Heights and Cornell on various parks . We
are taking on moth ball projects , like hydrant maintenance ,
painting and lubricating valves .
Town Supervisor suggested that the Town Engineer talk with Bolton
Point personnel to see if it makes sense to number the hydrants .
Town Engineer Fabbroni went on to say that another area of surprise
were the gas heaters at the Highway Barn , which have developed a
problem with corrosion . We expected a longer life , but they are
pretty much shot . A ten mile per hour wind will start them
oscilating . We have a number of estimates to replace the heaters .
Councilman Kugler warned the Town Engineer to be careful you don ' t
have the equipment exhaust going into the air space because of
condensation and deposit of corrosive materials .
Councilman Cramer asked how many unit heaters are there at the
Highway Barn ?
Town Engineer Fabbroni responded , seven unit heaters .
The Town Engineer noted that they were working on the fire alarm
system but were having trouble getting an estimate from the
company . He went on to say that there was a lot of activity at the
sewage treatment project , with some activities more visable than
others . We have had a major pour , the crossing of Route 13 and
Cascadilla Creek have begun . Also , the contractor has begun work
on the lake outfall pipe .
Town Planner ' s Report
Town Planner Peter Lovi noted that he had included one additional
item after a discussion with the Six Mile Creek Study Committee .
The area in question is the south side of Slaterville Road from the
City of Ithaca line to the property line of Cram-nonlands . The area
is presently developed with thirteen houses fronting on Slaterville
Road and one house situated on a rear lot . The area is zoned R-15
for a distance of 500 feet from the road , the remaining land to the
City of Ithaca watershed boundary is zoned R-30 . This area is
served by public water and sewer . There are approximately 45 acres
of open , undeveloped land from the Cammonland property to the City
of Ithaca line . The planning concern is that if additional
frontage construction is permitted along Slaterville Road without
concern for the preservation of access to the remaining lands , a
large amount of landlocked property will be created .
The Town Planner went on to say that there were three open areas
where a road intersection with Slaterville Read could be located .
All three of these openings are in excess of the 60 foot minimum
required for Town rights-of-way .
Mr . Lovi asked the Board to think about the problem and determine
® if the problem is important enough to amend the Official Town
Highway Map to show one or more of these corridors . He noted that
an extension of Lois Lane was possible. but it already is a long
cul-de-sac and therefore , he did not recommend this . The Planner
noted that the Six Mile Creek Committee has discussed development
of this area and there is already a healthy disagreement on
development .
Councilman Kugler asked if the area would need sewerage installed
if developed?
Town Board 5 June 10 , 1985
Town Planner Lovi responded yes , however , we would keep the
developed areas away from the wooded areas .
Councilwoman Raffensperger asked if the owners of the properties in
question were aware of the Towns concerns ?
Town Planner Lovi responded that questionnaires were being sent to
the land owners to determine their feelings .

REQUEST FROM CAYUGA VISTA TO MODIFY ODVENANTS
Edward Mazza , one of the developers of Cayuga Vista stated that
Cayuga Vista was a proposed project to be located on Route 96 past
National Cash Register , on the right hand side of the road . The
area in question contains about 8� acres of land . The Planning
Board has already approved the 32 cluster ToHmhouses consisting of
eight buildings which are not being built as apartments , they are
being built as separate houses . At the last Town Board meeting
restrictions were put on rentals . Our intentions , as developers ,
is to sell . However , in order to loan us the money the bank wants
all avenues open to them . If we can ' t build for what we think we
can , or if we can ' t sell for what we want to sell them for and the
® bank has to foreclose , they want all options open to than .
Mr . Mazza stated that it was his opinion that the Town Board could
not restrict rentals . He went on to say that the developers hoped
to sell their proposal to the bank in order to get the necessary
financing to develop the project . If the developers and the bank
were allowed to rent for up to seven years this would help them to
get financing . He went on to say that after seven years ,
restrictions on renting could take place .
Supervisor Desch asked Mr . Mazza when he wanted to break ground?
Town Board 6 June 10 , 1985
Mr . Mazza responded that they had hoped to have been started before
this . Now we will be unable to construct the eight buildings that
were proposed for the first year .
Supervisor Desch assigned the Committee of Councilwoman Howell ,
Councilman McPeak , Town Attorney Barney and Town Planner Lovi to
study the rental question and report back to the Town Board at the
July meeting .

INLET VALLEY PARK RESOLUTION
Susan Beeners prepared the following status report :
Assemblyman MacNeil ' s office has drafted and introduced a bill to
the New York State Legislature (Assembly Bill A 6772 and Senate
Bill S 6362 ) that would give the City of Ithaca authorization to
implement the proposal that would lead to City purchase and Town
developmnt of a park in the Inlet Valley area . A resolution in
support of the bill has been. passed by City Common Council . A
similar resolution is proposed for consideration by the Town Board
on June 10 . Passage of the bill is expected before the close of
the legislative session at the end of June .
The City has had difficulty in negotiating for the proposed Inlet
Valley Park land . The owner of the largest parcel , which was the
former Knight ' s treat market site , has not responded to the City ' s
offer to purchase the site at fair market value based on appraisal .
Nor has this property owner responded to a Notice of Violation of
the Ordinance Regulating Unsafe Buildings and Collapsed Structures
from the Town Building Inspector or from his own attorney in regard
to the hazardous state of the former meat market . As authorized by
the Town Board , an architect has been appointed by the Building
Inspector to survey the condition of the building , and it is likely
® that a court order for demolition will be sought . The owner of a
smaller parcel which has been proposed for inclusion in the Inlet
Valley Park land has expressed an unwillingness to sell his acreage
to the City .
Planning staff at the City has suggested the possible acquiring of
the proposed park land by the Town through emminent domain , with
funding of the fair market acquisition costs by the City . While
City and Town staff will continue efforts to negotiate with the
involved property owners , it is possible that the process of
emminent domain will be brought to the Town Board for
0
Town Board 8 June 10 , 1985
consideration , as well as the reservation of funds which were
budgeted for 1985 Inlet Valley Park Development .
Councilwoman Raffensperger questioned the fact that support of the
resolution would not necessarily conmit the Town to the way of
obtaining the land .
Supervisor Desch responded that his understanding and reading of
the bill does not commit the Town to any particular action on
acquisition or development .
RESOLUTION NO . 106
® Motion by Councilwoman Raffensperger ; seconded by Councilman
Cramer ,
WHEREAS , the Town of Ithaca desires to develop certain lands in the
Inlet Valley area for recreation , pursuant to the Town of Ithaca
Comprehensive Open Space and Recreation Plan , and
WHEREAS , such development will be facilitated by and subject to
acquisition of said lands in the Town by the City of Ithaca in
fulfillment of City park land alienation requirements , and
WHEREAS , New York State Assembly Bill A . 6772 and Senate Bill S 6362
will authorize the City to implement the proposed alienation plan ,

PERSONS TO BE HEARD
Mr . David Tyler , attorney for Mr . Rocco Lucente stated that Mr .
Lucente had requested a 36 month rental period after conversion of
the buildings to allow Mr . Lucente time to sell the property . He
went on to say that he had written Supervisor Desch a letter saying
Mr . Lucente would meet the Board half way , therefore , he was
proposing a 24 or 25 month rental period . The long term result
will not be good for the neighborhood if Mr . Lucente is only
allowed 13 months rental . Mr . Lucente wanted time to find good
solid purchasers .
Mr . Tyler , referring to the proposed amendment to Local Law # 4 -
® 1984 , stated that he felt the amendment was not realistic and that
it would be damaging to the Town and to Mr . Lucente . He went on to
say that he was asking the Board to reconsider the proposed
amendment and allow Mr . Lucente 25 months rental of the property .
Mr . Tyler noted that he was not asking for the moon or something
unreasonable . Mr . Lucente is not going to find a buyer everyday
with this amount of money . He stated that his other concern was
the section referring to people going on sabbatical leave . The way
the section is written , you would be required to own the property
for four years before going on sebbatic .
Town Attorney Barney responded , the premises must be owner occupied
for four years , however , this could moan two or three different
owners .
Mr . Tyler questioned the possibility of a person buying the
property then going on sebbatic the next year .
Town Attorney Barney remarked that you have to draw the line some
place . Sometimes it is harsh .
Mr . Tyler responded that he did not feel Mr . Barney was concerned
about the people who go on sabbatic .
Town Attorney Barned responded that he did not want to get into a
lot of exceptions , as soon as you starting granting exceptions then
you defeat the purpose .
Mr . Tyler stated that he was respectfully asking the Board to
consider 24 to 25 months rental instead of the Committee ' s
reccmrendation of 13 months .
Supervisor Desch asked the Board if they wished to reconsider the
Proposed amendment to Local Law #4 - 1984 ?
Councilman Cramer stated that the Board awes the public the right
to comment at the public hearing . We can consider a change after
we hear the public ' s comments at the hearing , if we so desire .

Hearing to consider designating the playfield at the Coddington
Road C n1munity Center , 920 Coddington Road , Ithaca , New York , Tax
Town Board 14 June 10 , 1985
Parcel No . 47-1-11 . 3 as a Town Park , having been presented by the
Town Clerk , the Supervisor opened the public hearing .
Susan Beeners , Landscape Consultant stated that the proposed
resolution was pretty self-explanatory . Proposed improvements for
1985 is the upgrading of the play fields ( ruts ) , resurfacing of the
parking area and the installation of a sign noting the play fields
as being a Town Park . The rules and regulations governing Town
Parks will be posted on the sign . The rules and regulations on
alcoholic beverages and groups over 20 will be modified so that
they are referred to the Center instead of the Town , this will
allow users of the play fields the use of the bathroom facilities
by arrangement with the Center . Repair of fence , repair of lawn
and repair of asphalt curb around the basketball court to hold
® water in the winter for a skating rink are part of the planned
repairs for 1985 . outside of the play field , prepare ground for a
garden club . Ms . Beeners went on to say that the size of the
parking area is sufficient . The Town will resurface the parking
area with crusher run . However , the parking area is not stable
enough for the Town plow , therefore , snow plowing will be the
responsibility of the Center .
Supervisor Desch asked how big the proposed sign would be ?
Ms . Beeners replied , 3 ' x 51
.
The Supervisor asked if the sign would be in addition to the sign
already there ?
Ms . Beeners replied , yes .
Supervisor Desch asked who would issue the permits for the play
fields , the Town or the Center ?
Ms . Beeners responded that her recommendation would be that the
Center issue the permit . Ballplayers , etc . , will need bathroom
facilities , therefore , the Center would issue the permit .
Supervisor Desch asked if the Center would be required to
administer the remainder of the Park Rules ?
Ms . Beeners suggested that the Town Board needs to discuss this as
a matter of policy .
Supervisor Desch remarked that if the permits were issued by the
Center , the Town would loose control .
Merry Jo Bauer , 921 Coddington Road stated that she saw no problem
with the Town spending $ 2 , 100 to mow and remove the ruts from the
play field . However , she was concerned with any expanded use of
the play fields . She went on to say that there is a shortage of
fields for the leagues and she would hate to see local leagues from
downtown using the play fields at the Center . Mrs . Bauer went on
to say that she would prefer to have the Town issue the permits .
Center Board members might be more lenient in giving permits to
neighbors than the Town would be . Also ,, if you have to go downtown
to get a permit , you might think twice about using the area .
Louise Mudrak , 693 Coddington Road stated that she was on the Board
of Directors for the Center . She stated that play fields for
children and youth in the area was needed . Soccer areas are needed
for the older children . She went on to say that the Center was
hoping to provide an on going child . care facility . Her main
concern was coordination . If the younger children have activities
scheduled and a barbeque is also scheduled and someone else
schedules a ballgame , she went on to say that this worries her
Town Board 15 June 10 , 1985
because of the traffic and alcoholic beverages . We need someone
to coordinate functions .
Anne Morrissette , 1058 Coddington Road stated that she was
Secretary of the Center . She went on to say that the parents of
the day care children had all become members of the Center ,
eventhough membership is not a requirement .
Supervisor Desch asked Mrs . Morrissette how many children were
enrolled in the day care program?
Mrs . Morrissette responded that they had a 60 % enrollment . She
added that the day care does not use the play fields . She went on
to say that as a Board member she could not see the Community
Center , without a ballfield being very successful . Since letting
people know through one newsletter that the Center was open again ,
we have had 62 people join , plus we have received quite a few
donations . However , she stated that she did not fell that they
could manage the play fields by themselves as there was too much
mowing and maintenance to be done .
Robert Cotts , 115 Northview Road stated that he was in favor of the
project . He stated that his kids , when they were young , always
went . to the Community Center . He went on to say that there is very
little level ground without trees in the area . He is glad to see
the Town getting involved in recreation and parks . A ballfield
should definately be part of the project .
Sarah Grigorov , 611 Coddington Road stated that she wanted to go on
record as supporting the plan .
As no one else present wished to speak , the Supervisor closed the
public information hearing .
Supervisor Desch stated that the permit process needs to be
formalized . We will move ahead with the projects contingent upon
the Town getting the necessary easements and the addressing of the
problem of permits .
Councilwoman Raffensperger questioned the wording of the
resolution , specifically " annual funds " . "Annual " was removed .

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REZONING OF PARCEL NO , 50-1 -4 . 2 AT
122 TROY ROAD OWNED BY RUTH LACY
Proof of posting and publication notice of a public hearing to
consider the rezoning of Parcel No . 50 -1 -4 . 2 , 16 . 75 acres at 122
Troy Road , Ithaca , New York , owned by Ruth Lacy , from R-30 District
to R-15 District , having been presented by the Town Clerk , the
Supervisor opened the public hearing .
Mrs . Ruth Lacy stated that she wished to have the property rezoned
as she would like to sell some of the lots .
Town Engineer Fabbroni noted that the property has both water and
sewer available , and the Board ' s policy has always been to rezone
any area with water and sewer to R-15 from R-30 .
Mr . Phiroze Mehta , 102 Troy Road asked , what is an R-15 District?
Town Engineer Fabbroni responded , in an R- 15 District the lot sizes
are 100 ' x 1501 . In an R-30 District the lot size requirements are
150 ' x 2001
.
Supervisor Desch added , the primary reason for the R-30 District
was to have room for water and sewer onsite (well and septic tank) .
® Mr . Mehta asked , are we talking about rezoning for size or use?
Town Engineer Fabbroni responded that the size of lots are less
flexible in an R-15 District ,
Mr . Mehta responded that he was concerned , you are talking about 16
acres of land . fie went on to say that he could envision a lot of
lots and a lot of houses .
Town Board 17 June 10 , 1985
Town Engineer Fabbroni responded , the land can be subdivided but
it ' s not always sold . Beacon Hills is a good example . The
Northview area is very comparable , you are almst surrounded by an
R-15 District and you don ' t even realize it .
Mrs . lacy remarked we are only considering a 7 acre portion of the
land . A 6 acre lot , toward Ithaca College , will be subdivided into
5 lots , all will be an acre plus .
As no one else present wished to speak , the Supervisor closed the
public hearing .

road , one-half of which is on the property of Barbara Quick . This
is also part of a three-party agreement authorized by the Board at
the May 13th meeting . There will be no expense for the Town , as
the owner is willing to give a fee simple deed for the road frcm
Frandsen property to its intersection with the Slaterville Road ,
approximately 3 / 4 of a mile to the east of Pine Tree Road . The
project will also include storm sewerage for the lower 300 feet of

shown on the original approved East Heights Subdivision Map and the
adopted 1968 Official Highway Map ,
Councilwoman Raffensperger stated that the Board has contacted
People in the Eastern Heights Civic Association in the past and
these people should have been informed of our upcoming discussion
Of the Environmental Assessment Form.

Supervisor Desch responded that the Planning Board had held at
least two meetings where Park Lane was discussed , plus the Town
Board ' s discussions .

® WHEREAS , the Town Engineer has reached an informal understanding
with Barbara P . Quick for a transfer of lands to the Town (a
portion of 6 -56-3-26 . 2 ) required for the Park Lane extension to
Slaterville Road ,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED , by the Town Board of the Town of
Ithaca to formally approve a land transfer together with any

including costs of closing , contingent upon execution of the
related three-party agreement authorized by the Town Board on May
13 , 1985 , and
FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED , that the Town Engineer and Town Attorney
proceed to develop the formal terms and conditions of offer , access

Councilwoman Raffensperger again stated that she voted no because
the representatives of the Eastern Heights Civic Association were
not notified that the Board would be taking action on this
proposal .
HOSPITAL ENTRANCE ROAD
Town Engineer Fabbroni shaved the Board a map of the new proposed
alternatives for a proposed access road into the hospital . He went
on to say that the new Hospital Board was not as interested in the
buildings as was the other board . There is quite a difference of
opinion on the two alternatives , however , as the Paleontological
Research Institution has mounted a world wide campaign against one
of the alternates . He went on to say that the hospital would not
stand in the way of the new alternatives .
In 1983 , the Planning Board approved an extension to the
Professional Building Complex and a $ 25 , 000 escrow account was
established for a second access road . Lake Shore West was also to
® make access into their property a part of their proposal and the
Planning Board asked Lake Shore West to put up a like amount . Of
course , the Lake Shore West project did not materalize . Now the
Community Hospital has come along with a proposal to remove "C"
wing and add more tiered parking , all of which are to be served off
the new access road . The resolution . calls for the Tompkins
Comrnanity Hospital to put $ 25 , 000 in. escrow the same as the
Professional Building developers were required to do . He went on
to say that the Town would assume responsibility and ownership of
the prime road .
Town Board 19 June 10 , 1985
Supervisor Desch remarked that the first phase of the road ( the
small section ) could be constructed in 1985 .
Town Engineer Fabbroni responded that is correct . If one or more
of the private parties would take the initiative it would be easier
for the Town .
Supervisor Desch remarked that the Town was taking the initiative
by coordinating the road plan .

Motion by Councilman Kugler ; seconded by Councilman McPeak ,
® WHEREAS , Site Plan review by the Planning Board on April 16 , 1985 ,

NOW TM�EFORE BE IT RESOLVED , by the Town Board of the Town of

Zoning Board of Appeals April 17 , 1985 , for an addition to the
Tompkins Community Hospital building , each envisioned an alternate
access to be constructed somewhere west of the existing upper
Hospital service drive and upper parking tier , and
Town Board 20 June 10 , 1985
WHEREAS , the Town Board has reviewed the concept with general favor
that , if the Town could coordinate improvements to effect a new
access road , the portions of the new access improvement that are
common and not part of private drives serving the individual users
might be accepted as a Town Highway , and

WEST SHORE WATERMAIN FEASIBILITY STUDY
Town Engineer Lawrence Fabbroni stated that the most direct way to
service the West Shore area with water was to hook on at Cass Park
and then run the lines out the West Shore . He went on to say that
an alignment along the mid-shelf may be the most feasible approach ,
however , there are two alternatives and more study is needed .
Town Supervisor Desch asked how far do we have to go into the City
to hook up to the Cass Park line ?
Town Engineer Fabbroni responded , about one-half mile , the line is
somewhere in the area of the Hanger Theater . The other question we
need to resolve is what size line .
Councilman Kugler asked , what pressure will you achieve ?
Town Engineer Fabbroni responded very satisfactory pressure , at
least 40 pounds and 80 pounds down by the lake .
Town Supervisor questioned the possibility of extending sewer at
the same time .
Town Engineer Fabbroni responded that he would need to talk with
John Andersson of the Tompkins County Health Department . He went
on to say that more research needs to be done on ' extending the
sewer . This will not be an easy project but a worthwhile project .
We have houses with 50 ' lots and no place to go with replacement
septic systems .
The Town Engineer stated that he was prepared to goahead with the
next phase of the feasibility study if the Board wanted him to do
so .
i
Supervisor Desch asked the Board if they were comfortable with the
® Town Engineer going ahead with the feasibility study :
Councilman McPeak stated that he felt there was a need to extend
the sewer line also , if possible .
