Mr. Engman proposed additional agenda items; approved by the Board. Report of Tompkins County Legislature Peter Stein, District 11 which covers the eastern part of the town. Mr. Stein reported that it is a very busy time for the Legislature and the budget is very, very dire. An increase of 13% would be needed just to maintain services and if the County adheres to the 2% cap, it would require an 11% cut to the budget. He reported that several months ago at a retreat the Legislature asked the County Administrator for 2 budgets, 1 with the 2% cap and 11% cut and 1 with a 6% cap which would raise the levy by 5%. The latter would require the county board to override the 2% cap with a super majority and they are in the middle of preparing the two budgets to see if staying in the 2% is possible. He added that the county has been taking significant cuts for the last two years and it is hard to find any fat when going through their programs and it is now coming to what can we do without as opposed to what fat can we cut because there isn’t any. There is a th community forum on the subject at the Lutheran Church on August 10 and there will be more scheduled. Mr. Stein then spoke about the redistricting and he presented an idea to the county redistricting committee which involved the town in a large way. The legislature has 15 representatives now but we can have between 12 – 19 and the last time redistricting was done, there was a lawsuit between the Town and the County because several of the “city” representatives represented significant portions of the Town. Because a larger part of those districts are in the city, it is likely that the person elected would be from the city and the town thought that was not correct. His suggestion was to split the city into 4 districts and lower the number of representative to 14 and the problem would disappear. He also noted that he walks every night on the new Warren Rd sidewalk and its great and very pleasant to walk on. Herb added that the inspector from NYS DOT came to Page 2 of 20 TB 8-8-2011 inspect the use of the grant money, she said it was the best one in the entire upstate district Report of Ithaca Common Council -- None Persons to be Heard and Board Comments Mr. Engman opened the floor to the public, noting that this is the time to address the Board on any subject not scheduled for a public hearing this evening. Patricia Speno spoke regarding Calvary Cemetery and asked to have a member of the Board appointed to help her with issues regarding her mother’s estate. Mr. Engman stated that he would get in touch with her. Ms. Speno submitted a written letter (Attachment #1) Harold Miller , Upstate Director for New York Committee for Change. The organization works with on issues of social and economic injustice and they have been working with homeowners struggling with foreclosure. He thanked the supervisor and the Board for considering taking action to not bond with J P Morgan Chase until they institute fair lending practices and although Chase isn’t the only, but they prides themselves on being good corporate citizens but the data proves otherwise. By singling out JP Morgan Chase, the organization is in no way condoning the other institutions that have bad practices, they are starting with one of the most egregious. Mr. Miller quoted some research and statistics for the area. (The Board had some background material supplied by the organization to Mr. Engman for the added agenda item concerning this topic) Paul Chamandy , Commonland Community Mr. Chamandy spoke about the meeting they had with the Town, City and law enforcement regarding the problems from people parking and the problems. They are putting together a petition (attachment #2). They are looking to change the restrictions on the road from parking on the road and using it as a beach. Of the 117 households on the street, they already have reached 70 and only 3 declined to sign because they were concerned about having parties of their own and not being able to park on the street. There are 43 houses left to approach. Residents have spoken about harassment and being taunted and seniors are afraid to walk down the street and some parents can’t allow their children out. He added that those that have signed realize they will not be able to park on the street either, but feel it is a necessary evil to get relief. Ralph Thompson , Penny Lane who was the first inhabitant of Penny Lane and has watched the situation for the last 25 years. He sent a letter years ago to the city of Ithaca when the city expressed interest in a lot nearby. He and his neighbors have documented the invasion on sunny clear days and he estimates 3 people per car and conservatively estimates 300 people on good days. He talked about the swimming, drinking, underage partying, littering etc and jumping. (Attachment #3) He stated that Page 3 of 20 TB 8-8-2011 their petition is looking to make it inconvenient for people to park there and easier to enforce. Linda Russo Penny Lane commented that it is important to put this into a historical context remembering that the access road that goes through the last part of Commonland has been used and they use it but over time the makeup of the people going down has changed significantly and now a lot of out of town people come because of YouTube and the like and they come speeding in and they aren’t local and don’t care and the numbers have just exploded. It is day and night, drugs and drinking and she reiterated that she would like a seasonal ban. She added that it is really scary what is going on there. These kids are getting riskier and riskier and they are going to get hurt. It is dangerous and laws are being broken left and right. Mary Turnerpalm (sp) Focused on her 16 year old daughter who is afraid to walk the dog because of the gangs or groups of kids… She stated that she will resend the document that has testimonials about her fears and issues. (Attachment #4)The growing disrespect is the problem; if they were respectful of the neighborhood, they would not have a problem. They kids also leave their cars with animals in them and just windows cracked and they have had to call TCAC. She talked about the types of things she has to pick up and the amount of trash bags she has filled on a regular basis. She is in favor of the seasonal ban. Mr. Engman went over the process of setting the public hearing and then voting on the ban in September followed by the erection of signs etc. Added Agenda Item JP Morgan Chase Resolution Mr. Engman read the proposed resolution and moved it for discussion and Mr. Goodman seconded. Ms. Hunter asked if there are any families in our town that have been dealing with this? Mr. Engman responded that he did not know about their activity in the town. Ms. Hunter stated that she had trouble with the statements saying the town “finds” or “knows” because she doesn’t have first hand knowledge. She added that there are certainly practices she doesn’t agree with, but she doesn’t have firsthand knowledge. Mr. Engman noted that he sent out information and he has read a number of articles regarding Chase. There are other municipalities that have passed the same resolution. Discussion followed. The second whereas was changed to address her concern; replacing “finds” with “has received information”. Change was approved by the mover and seconder. Mr. Solvig reminded the Board that we have bonds going out to bid in less than 2 weeks and neither he nor Ms. Brock could comment on what would or could happen to those bond issues. Discussion followed. Ms. Hunter also thought it might be a little arbitrary to pick on Chase when there may be others just as guilty. Mr. Engman responded that you have to start somewhere and this is a campaign and this is how it is traditionally done to send messages. Discussion followed. Page 4 of 20 TB 8-8-2011 RESOLUTION NO. 2011- 123: URGING JP MORGAN CHASE TO DEVELOP FAIR LENDING PRACTICES THROUGHOUT NEW YORK STATE WHEREAS the Town of Ithaca (the Town) has long had an interest in supporting workforce and other affordable housing and WHEREAS the Town received information that JP Morgan Chase (“Chase”) is the holder and/or servicer of mortgages within the State that have been foreclosed or are currently at risk for foreclosure and WHEREAS Chase has demonstrated a lack of willingness to engage in good-faith efforts to negotiate permanent mortgage modifications that would help keep residents in their homes and WHEREAS the Town does not wish to support nor do business with any company that does not support efforts to reduce foreclosures NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca that the Town shall not use JP Morgan Chase in any way when issuing bonds to raise revenue for any purpose. MOVED: Herb Engman SECONDED: Bill Goodman VOTE: Ayes: Engman, Goodman, Leary, and Levine Nays: Hunter Absent: DePaolo and Horwitz Motion passed 4 to 1. Presentation of Stormwater Report Creig Hebdon, Town Engineer summarized the report. The Town was audited and we did very well and the DEC actually took some of our forms to share with other municipalities. Next year the Tompkins County Stormwater Coalition has entered into an agreement with the Tompkins County Soil and Water Conservation District and they are going to do the reports for the entire Coalition and there will be a central website and outreach. TCAD – Discussion with Michael Stamm Regarding PILOTsPiLo – ayments n ieu f T axes Michael Stamm explained that the Industrial Development Agency of IDA had the authority granted by the State to grant property tax abatement, sales tax abatement and mortgage recording tax abatement to projects that meet state law. He explained the makeup and members of the IDA here and stated that they have a very conservative policy, probably the most conservative in the state. The standard policy is a tax abatement over a 7 year period, starting at 90 % and then declining in equal increments over the 7 years and only affects new taxes that are generated by a project. Other IDA’s give 100% for 5 or 10 years and then might scale down over another 5 or 10 year period. He gave some history and stated that they were the first IDA to deny Wegman’s Page 5 of 20 TB 8-8-2011 and they also do not grant abatements to big box stores. They are careful not to help one business compete with another in the same community and focus on businesses that provide goods or services that are sold outside of the community. They also give abatements or incentives for anti-sprawl/urban development such as recently, at the request of the City of Ithaca, to Gateway Plaza, Seneca Place, Cayuga Green etc. Mr. Stamm went on to describe their application process which they feel is very rigourous and they look at the quality of jobs and how they match the community. Over the years the IDA has delivered incentives to 96 projects in the community with a total level of about $16m, and that is new taxes, and the total taxes paid by the same projects exceeds $ 24 million so they believe they have realized a great return on this carefully managed investment. They have created over 7,500 jobs with an average non-management wage of over $19 an hour. So if you look around our community at any manufacturing or high tech company, our IDA has probably delivered some kind of incentive to them. He reiterated that the authority is granted by the State and each IDA has the authority to make its own guidelines and policies and theirs is very progressive in how they look at projects and very, very conservative in the amount of property taxes they give to the project(s) they want to support. Board questions. Ms. Hunter asked if the State mandates the makeup of the Board and Mr. Stamm responded that it does not and it is a hot topic right now. He added that many are populated by business people and some are heavily influenced by the bad side of politics, so if it’s a democratic community, a republican business owner won’t get incentives and things like that. He stated that his IDA is mostly local elected officials with a couple of business people. Ms. Hunter asked what the chances were of having a Town representative on the IDA. Mr. Stamm suggested that the Board talk to Martha Robertson who is the Chair of the IDA and the County Legislature. He did add that there is some pressure from the state and locally to have a member of the School Board on the IDA also. Ms. Hunter asked if the IDA was taking the 2% tax cap issue(s) into consideration and Mr. Stamm responded that they are and feel that many of their projects would not have moved forward without their help and that help generates taxes. A little in the beginning but more and more and something is better than nothing. Ms. Leary asked if any companies have folded or failed before they were required to pay full taxes. Mr. Stamm responded that that was another excellent question and that this IDA is one of the rare IDA’s that has a recapture policy so under certain circumstances if incentives are delivered and the company shifts out of the County, they have the legal right to recapture those benefits. A good example is Emerson, when they moved out of the county, the IDA recaptured those and the Town got money back. He added that certainly some fail, but they can recapture those businesses that move. Page 6 of 20 TB 8-8-2011 Mr. Engman asked about the notification process because he had not heard anything about Ithaca Beer going for an abatement until he read the legal ad in the Journal. Mr. Stamm responded that the IDA sends out a notification to all affected municipalities right after the initial meeting with an applicant. Mr. Stamm will look into it at his end. Mr. Engman then asked how the process starts, who initiates the process? Mr. Stamm responded that the IDA markets a variety of incentives to local businesses in a proactive way targeting companies that are committed to our community or have a history of being in the community. They also assist these businesses about other type of programs out there to help them be viable. Ms. Leary responded that they don’t work with the municipality they are taking the money away from and asked what criteria they use because she thought this program was designed to attract companies from outside that otherwise wouldn’t be growing or locating in the Town. Mr. Stamm responded absolutely not and that in economic development, 85%-90% of quality jobs come from expansions of existing businesses or from businesses started by existing entrepreneurs. He stated that they spend very little time trying to attract outside business to Tompkins County because they do not know them and they are not committed to the community. It is important that they are already here and committed and if they need help, we try to help them. Discussion followed. Ms. Hunter talked about the planned development zone process that many of our current projects go through and stated that it would help us with the planning process and our own economic development activities if we could be considering the impacts of tax relief into those plans and she asked if the IDA would be willing to explore involving the town in the process so we know what is going on. Mr. Stamm responded that TCAD has close relationships with municipalities and he would work with the Town. Ms. Leary asked if Mr. Stamm could tell the Board why they felt Ithaca Beer needed a tax abatement and Mr. Stamm responded that they looked at their business plan and their debt services etc, and they determined that they needed some assistance and they are considering a sales tax abatement on the supplies they buy for the expansion and an abatement on the state portion of the mortgage recording tax and the standard tax abatement of 90% of new taxes which would have been paid on the expansion and declines over the 7 year period. From a property tax point of view, over a 7 year period, new taxes paid with PILOT in place are about $149K, the taxes abated during that 7 year period with a PILOT in place are about $145K. So the local taxing jurisdictions will receive about $149K and the company will receive a benefit of about $145K over that 7 year period. He added that these are estimates working with the Assessment Department. Mr. Engman thanked Mr. Stamm, adding that the information was very helpful. Page 7 of 20 TB 8-8-2011 6:00 p.m.: Public Hearing regarding a Local Law Amending Zoning Chapters 270 and 271 of the Town of Ithaca Code to Provide a Planned Development Zone for the Ithaca Beer Company on Route 13 Mr. Engman opened the public hearing at 6:52 pm Larry Salinger , Peachtree Ln read from a prepared statement (Attachment #4) He spoke about the difference between what was initially presented and what now seems to be in the plans. It seemed small and neighborhood friendly at first and now seems to be 45K square feet with 150 parking spots. He was concerned about the economic impacts to his property and was not in favor of the PDZ. John Tasman , Apple Blossom Dr. asked if there has been any type of report by an independent party regarding the economic impacts. He didn’t feel that it was right to change zoning right after someone buys property because it isn’t fair to others who may have not even looked at that property because they knew the zoning in place would prohibit what they were looking to do so they bought elsewhere at commercial prices. Ms. Ritter responded that the Planning Board went through the SEQR process looking at any environmental impacts and determined there would be none and although they do not look at impacts on property values, she felt that the Route 13 corridor in a depressed area in the vicinity of Ithaca Beer and there are high hopes that bringing Ithaca Beer in will rejuvenate the area and create some interest in the area. Mr. Tasman responded that those empty store fronts are not involved in the project so they won’t be filled and Ms. Ritter responded that the hope is they will be. Mr. Tasman felt that an independent report should be done to back up the theory and hope of the Planning Board and Planning Department that this is worthwhile and the effects it will have on the neighborhood. Tom Fuller , Seven Mile Dr. read from a prepared statement (Attachment #5) concerned about impact on the neighborhood, safety of children, property values and noise. He felt that moving the brewery back into the residential section of the area as opposed to closer to the road was “ludicrous”. George Sheldrake , Earlybird Farms Mr. Sheldrake spoke as the only famer in inlet valley, stating that he was 100% supportive of this project because it is the best use for the land. This is an agrelated business and he is keeping open fields and production and his proposal is unbelievably thorough. He could not see any adverse effects for the area; the 7 Mile Drive area is not even affected because they will be entering off Route 13 or 13a and the fields will offer a huge buffer to the residential area. He reminded the Board and the public that the land is not zoned residential, it’s light industrial now and although he doesn’t know what else could possibly go in there, he certainly wouldn’t like a factory or something that might be allowed under the light industrial. He reiterated that this is the best possible use for that land. Kurt Komaromi , Peachtree Lane Mr. Komaromi thought they are a very successful local business and deserve a lot of support but worried about the effect on the Page 8 of 20 TB 8-8-2011 neighborhood. He assumed it was going to be up around the brewery and there has been land cleared right up against peoples property and that is concerning. He admitted that he did not know the details of the project but he was concerned about the clearing. Ms. Ritter responded that the clearing is for an agricultural pond for irrigation and all the land that is up in that area are proposed to be for agricultural purposes and there will be a lot of fields in between the residential area and the brewery. Mr. Komaromi asked where he could see materials and Ms. Hunter gave him her info from her packet and Mr. Engman stated that details are always available here at Town Hall. John Slash, Apple Blossom Lane agreed with the other commenters and he is concerned about the future and whether there are limits to what he can do such as Beer Fests etc. Mr. Engman noted that the Town has Noise and Light ordinances and Ms. Ritter added that the project is approved for a certain size and any additional expansions would have to go before the Planning Board and there would be public hearings at that time again. Right now it is 15K square feet and she explained that the PDZ allows for some expansion so any changes don’t have to come back to the Town Board, but any changes would have to go before the Planning Board and there are generally 2 public input opportunities at least, one of which is a formal public hearing. Sean Varma , Apple Blossom Ln He would like to know more about the project and added that it is not always convenient to go to the Planning Board meetings etc and he is supportive of the project but with a balance between the brewery and the property owners. Ms. Ritter responded that information can be sent digitally also and residents just need to ask. Mr. Engman added that only 12 out of the 80 acres are planned for the commercial enterprise and only those 12 acres would be in the planned development zone with the other 70 or so going into a County Agricultural District which has its own restrictions. Thomas Steenhuis , Bostwick Rd Spoke about the neighborhood not really knowing what was going on and suggested it might be better if the decision were postponed and the neighborhood and the developer could talk adding that if they had known, maybe the excitement would not have happened and maybe it would be fine. There was no one else wishing to address the Board and Mr. Engman closed the public hearing at 7:18. Board discussion Ms. Hunter asked about the timing and whether the community should have an opportunity to look at this more closely. Ms. Ritter responded that the production being put in place right now is dependent on this moving forward. He would have no where to put his product that he is gearing up for. Ms. Leary wondered why Mr. Mitchell never mentioned going for an abatement and if he really needed one. Mr. Mitchell volunteered to answer the question. Page 9 of 20 TB 8-8-2011 Dan Mitchell responded that the question never came up about any of the financing for this project, but if it had, he probably would have said he would be looking at for every bit of assistance to get this project off the ground. He stated that he budgeted this for $2.5 million and he is hoping he will only be $1 million over that. He stated that he has posted all the notices for all the meetings as required and he hasn’t been contacted by any of the neighbors except for one who said all the neighbors were for this. He added that when he was told something like this might be possible with a planned development zone, he was told to think far ahead and all of the possibilities you can envision which is how we got to the 45,000 feet. The reality is he doesn’t own the building he is in and it has been successful but he hasn’t even paid corporate taxes yet in the 12 years he has been doing this because he hasn’t made a profit yet. Everything goes back into the business. He went on to say that he and his wife and three children will be building their house there and they will be the closest neighbor to the brewery and the brewery is placed on or as close to the Light Industrial zone as possible. New York State makes it very hard for small businesses unlike the Wegman’s mentioned. Mr. Mitchell added that he wants to be the anchor for the area and bringing this property back to farming is a good thing and a great thing for the area. He stated that he has already added onto a building that he doesn’t own at his own cost and has had the full support of the town and has not heard any of these negatives and what he brings in future sales tax and future jobs will far exceed any abatement he gets now. Mr. Levine asked about the effect of a delay and Mr. Mitchell responded that he is shorting his wholesalers now and the timing is crucial right now, even a month will have significant implications. He agreed with the neighbors that there are issues with the process but he has put up his notices out front and in the brewery and he also responded to the comment from someone who said put it somewhere else, and you can’t. There has to be public water and sewer for one thing. Discussion followed. Mr. Smith, the Planner working with Mr. Mitchell on this project noted that there have been at least 9 meetings of various Boards and Committees with this project and its details for residents to attend and learn about the details and Ms. Brock added that there were neighbors at previous meetings of the Planning Board where mockups were available and many details and she specifically remembered residents looking at these and listening and being very supportive of the project. Mr. Goodman agreed saying that he was a Planning Board meeting where the project was discussed and all the residents spoke in favor of it, he also added that he assumed a PILOT would be sought and granted so he was surprised tonight but still supportive of the project because many of the concerns expressed have already been addressed and the neighbors are just not aware of it. Ms. Leary asked if the abatement would be a deal breaker and Mr. Mitchell responded that it wouldn’t, because it couldn’t be. He explained that he has “scratched and clawed” his way to this point and has worked so hard financially, emotionally and physically that he would have to find another way. Mr. Engman added that he thought issues with tax abatements should be taken up with the IDA, not the developer. Page 10 of 20 TB 8-8-2011 Mr. Goodman brought the Board’s attention to the County’s GML recommendation(s) which Mr. Engman read aloud for the public’s benefit. (Attachment #6) Mr. Engman thought that the issues that the County has recommendations regarding have already been addressed by the Planning Board and one of the parcels they are talking about is not even in the PDZ and the curb cuts are already there with the access from Route 13. The access from Peachtree Lane and Apple Blossom Lane referred to by the County is not on the parcel included in the PDZ and would be considered and debated when and if a project were to come before the Planning Board involving that option and would be dealt with then. He added that he thinks the protections already put into the PDZ already address the County’s concerns. Mr. Engman again stated that there is a large buffer zone and the existing LI zone is basically only being expanded a little bit towards the rear. Mr. Goodman added that it looks like the closest house is about 750 feet away and in his experience with 20 years in real estate; he does not believe the project will affect property values. This mixed use is also exactly what the Comprehensive Plan Committee is saying the Town prefers, and why a planned development zone was developed. He added that if residents do not like the idea of mixed uses, he encouraged them to attend meetings and let the Board know and become involved. Due to the GML comments from the County, a roll call vote followed with a unanimous outcome in favor of the Local Law establishing the Planned Development Zone.

Younger and Azucena Ortega, dated August 18, 2004, and recorded in the Tompkins County Clerk’s Office on August 19, 2004, Instrument Number 459484-001 (the “Deed”); and WHEREAS , Protective Covenants for lots in the Eastern Heights Subdivision that includes the Premises, which Protective Covenants are dated March 25, 1969, and recorded in the Tompkins County Clerk’s Office on March 25, 1969, in Liber 480 of Deeds at Page 375, state in paragraph 4 as follows: “(The following shall be applicable where necessary and will be inserted in the deeds for lots where applicable) There is hereby reserved an easement for the installation and maintenance of sewer/water/ electric/gas and/or drainage facilities as presently installed or as may be required to be installed in the future development of the subdivision to a width of 10 feet on each side of the installed line. Within this easement area, no structure, planting or other material shall be placed or permitted to remain which may damage or interfere with the installation and maintenance of said utility or which may change the direction or flow of drainage channels in the easement area or which may obstruct or retard the flow of water through the drainage channel in said easement area. The easement area and all improvements in it shall be maintained continuously by the owner of the premises, except in the case of improvements for which a municipal authority or utility company is responsible.”; and WHEREAS , the Deed to Owner does not contain the easement language required by the Protective Covenants for the Town-owned stormwater facilities located on the Premises. However, the survey map referenced in the Deed, dated July 22, 1986 and last amended July 29, 2004, shows a 20 foot easement centered on a “48˝ C.M.P. culvert”, and further shows a portion of a deck attached to the house on the Premises encroaching into the easement area. Next to the notation about the 20 foot easement, the survey map refers to “480/375”, which is the Liber of Deeds and Page where the 1969 Protective Covenants are recorded; WHEREAS , to assure that the easement is properly conveyed to the Town, Owner is granting an easement to the Town for the municipal stormwater facilities on Page 17 of 20 TB 8-8-2011 the Premises through her execution of a Right-of-Way and Easement that will be recorded in the Tompkins County Clerk’s Office (the “Easement”); WHEREAS , a portion of the deck attached to the house on the Premises continues to encroach into the area covered by the Easement, as shown on a survey of the Premises titled “Survey Map, No. 118 Eastern Heights Drive, Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York”, dated April 28, 2011 and amended July 15, 2011, and prepared by Lee Dresser, Licensed Land Surveyor, of T.G. Miller P.C. (the “Survey Map”), which Survey Map is annexed hereto; WHEREAS , the Town is willing to allow the encroachment to remain unless and until it is required to be removed pursuant to the terms of the attached Encroachment License between Sylvia Bedford-Guaus and the Town of Ithaca; WHEREAS , pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by the Town Board that approval of the Encroachment License is a Type II action because it constitutes “routine or continuing agency administration and management, not including new programs or major reordering of priorities that may affect the environment,” and thus approval of the Encroachment License is not subject to review under SEQRA; Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca does hereby approve the attached Encroachment License and authorizes the Town Supervisor to execute it on behalf of the Town, subject to the approval of the Attorney for the Town. MOVED: Bill Goodman SECONDED: Tee-Ann Hunter VOTE: Ayes: Engman, Goodman, Leary, Levine and Hunter Absent: DePaolo and Horwitz Motion passed unanimously Discuss Determination made by the Ethics Board, and Suggested Change(s) to the Ethics Disclosure Statement and Local Law Mr. Engman and Ms. Terwilliger gave the background on this noting that changes have to be made to the current local law to make it current and while doing so, the Ethics Board would like to change the boundaries of the listing of real estate owned to the entire county instead of just the Town or contiguous to it. There also is the issue of the determination made by the Ethics Board that home addresses must be listed regardless of whether they are in the Town of not. A staff member has appealed that determination to the Town Board for a decision. Discussion followed. Mr. Engman suggested the issue be referred to the Operations Committee for review. The Board agreed.

Report of Town Officials Ms. Drake reported that Bolton Point has formed a new union and as the Governing Body, she felt the Town should do a resolution recognizing the Union which Ms. Brock concurred with. Mr. Engman added that he felt it was important for the other Commissioners to understand what the situation is because right now they think it is just the Commission that has to acknowledge and they are researching that.

From late spring to early fall, v^^e experience problems with excessive traffic from vehicles filled with people that come to use our streets as an easy access to the 6 Mile Creek recreational area and swimming hole. This results in excessive noise, litter, racing traffic and invasion of privacy that we feel is damaging the quality of life in our neighborhood. Most importantly, there are legitimate concerns about personal safety - both for the residents and their properties. We the undersigned residents of Penny Lane and Lois Lane, Town of Ithaca, NY request that the town consider changes to the parking ordinance for these streets as follows: CHANGE CURRENT PARKING SIGNS ON THE NORTHWEST END OF PENNY LANE FROM: NO PARKING 11:00 PM TO 6 AM - MAY1 - SEPT 30 TO: NO PARKING ANYTIME - MAY1 - SEPT 30 INSTALL PARKING SIGNS ON THE SOUTH EAST END OF PENNY LANE TO READ: NO PARKING ANYTIME - MAY1-SEPT30 INSTALL PARKING SIGNS ON ALL OF LOIS LANE TO READ: NO PARKING ANYTIME - MAY1-SEPT30 To further discourage unla>A^ul parking we the undersigned request that the Town of Ithaca consider marking all signs with the following warning: TOW AWAY ZONE Thank you for your timely consideration for this request. / Petition to Change the Parking Ordinance, for Penny Lane Page 1 of and Lois Lane, Town of Ithaca, NY 8/4/11 Letter to the Ithaca Times, 4/7/11 c i / '.- .J \ (''-■ \ \ April?, 2011 Buffering Six Mile Creek and Safeguarding the Water Supply To the Editor: For twenty-five years I have been a neighbor of the Six Mile Creek Natural Area and a regular visitor of its trails and natural vistas. Six Mile Creek has contributed substantially to the quality of my life in Commonland Community. Joe Murtagh's story concerning the city's interest in acquiring an eight acre land parcel to buffer and protect the natural area set me thinking. The intent is commendable, yet it aims to address a potential future problem, in the meantime, the city of Ithaca seems to be paying little attention to a current threat to the Six Mile Creek area. That threat is the problem posed by the large and growing number of swimmers and partiers who descend upon Six Mile Gorge each summer. Commonland has its own issues with this population, which 1 do not mean to address here. 1 do want to offer some observations, however, on the basis of my long-term year-round presence. When 1 arrived in the summer of 1986, an occasional car would park on Penny Lane, and the occupants would head for a dip in the gorge. Even then, signs indicated that a variety of activities, swimming, drinking, and building fi res among them, were prohibited. The prohibitions were not enforced, but the levels of transgression were so low that no real harm seemed to be / > occurring. About ten years ago, however, the population of swimmers began to increase rapidly. By last summer, our area was averaging about 100 per day, calculated on the basis of the number of vehicles parked on Penny Lane and a conservative estimate of three occupants per vehicle. On peak days like the Fourth of July weekend, three times that number of people were swimming and drinking in our sector of Six Mile Creek gorge. Another area, about a mile southeast along the creek, was attracting additional visitors. City Attorney Dan Hoffman is quoted in the Ithaca Times piece as having stated, "We value the Six Mile Creek area because it's our water source. You want your water source to be as free from contamination as possible ..." In this context, 1 would ask: Is having a couple hundred people daily swimming in your water source, spreading litter around your water source and relieving themselves in the vicinity of your water source keeping that water source "as free from contamination as possible?" Although any single transgression may cause only slight degradation, hundreds of such individual acts become highly significant. 1 think it's fair to say the status quo is unacceptable. While Ithaca may be looking to the future of Six Mile Creek, 1 submit that it is overlooking the present. What was an innocuous situation twenty-five years ago has metastasized into a real and obvious problem every summer. I hope that Common Council and Mayor Peterson will consider a more vigorous and comprehensive response than the seasonal hiring of a park ranger. It's no longer simply a matter of a couple locals visiting the ol' swimmin' hole to cool off on a sweltering summer day. Ralph B.

We are opposed to the establishment of the PDZ. When we decided to purchase our property and live here, it was with the understanding that the adjacent lands were zoned residential and agricultural and that the overall character of the neighborhood and property values would not likely be affected by commercial ventures on these adjacent lands. Upon first learning of the planned expansion of the IBC, we thought that the idea of a brew pub with a small dining facility and outdoor features, including gardens to support the operation would be a nice, neighborhood friendly enterprise. Especially when it was indicated that the owners of IBC would be building a home on the property. I attended a Plaiming Board meeting on Jime 21,2011 at which IBC's Dan Mitchell spoke of his vision of a 3 phase development plan for the property that would ultimately result in a 45,000 sq. ft. facility with over 150 parking spaces. This seems to be a far ciy from the original proposal that garnered press publicity last year and would, in our opinion, have adverse economic and quality of life impacts on the neighborhood we live in as well as other neighborhoods proximate to this proposed PDZ. The prospects of diminished property values as a result of this PDZ could have a negative impact on residential property values and taxes received by the town from affected properties. < \ r \ f \ / s n The Town Board should also consider the economic impacts on owners of commercial real estate that is available and zoned to allow for the construction of an enterprise such as is being proposed by IBC. To make a special arrangement in such circumstances, particularly when the subject property was acquired with the knowledge that it wouldn't allow a project of this nature without special zoning treatment, and with other suitable property available, gives an unfair advantage to IBC and casts doubt on the fairness of the zoning process in the town. A special change in existing zoning laws to accommodate a venture that does not advance the public good, further the health and welfare of the commimity or provide a needed benefit to the public is contrary to the spirit of fairness, is in direct conflict with die purposes and authorizations of the local laws and ordinances that shall be followed to establish a PDZ and could, in fact be subject to legal challenge. I also want to bring to the attention of the Board as well as the public the fact that IBC has requested taxpayer subsidized financial assistance through the Tompkins County Industrial Development Agency for its expansion even before the Town Board has voted on the PDZ. A hearing on this is scheduled for August 17,2011. This, along with the article in the August 8,2011 Ithaca Joumal regarding tonight's public hearing, makes one wonder how objective the Town Board will be in considering the public's input when the deal appears to be a fait accompli. Thank you, Lany & Louise Sallinger 14 Peachtree Ln.

The Department has re viewed the proposal, as submitted, and has determined that it may have negativeinter-commimity, or county-wide impacts as described below. We recommend modification of the proposal. Ifthe Board does not incorporate the recommendations, such approval will require a vote of a supermajority(meaning a majority plus one) of all members of the decision-makmg body. Recommended Modifications • The Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan (1993) identifies the anticipated land use in this area as'Suburban Residential'. The uses identified in Planned Development Zone (PDZ) No. 14 could conflictwith the surrounding Low Density Residential Zone and the options for developing the surroundingresidential land may be compromised. In not including Parcel A within the PDZ boundary there arc notmechanisms in place that would require this area to develop in a fashion other than Low DensityResidential. At minimum, the PDZ should outline provisions for buffering the land uses allowed m the PDZ fr om the adjacent residentially zoned area. • The PDZ should be designed in a way as to eliminate the need to create any future curb cuts onto Route 13 for future access to Parcel A. Several studies, including the Town's Comprehensive Plan, have identified the intersections on Route 13 around this site as being of concern. Added curb cuts wouldonly add to traffic and safety concerns along this corridor. The PDZ should be conditioned on arequirement that future access to Parcel A be limited to the use of the existing Mancini Drive and Road an^or Peachtree Lane and Amber Lane.
