" LOCAL LAW TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS RELATING 'TO THE SPECIAL LAND USE DISTRICT ( LIMITED MIXED USN ) AT THE FORMER CORNELL UNIVCRSITY STATLER WEST COMPLEX TO ALLOW AUDI "CIONAL USES " . The Supervisor opened the Public Hearing at 5 : 31 p . m . The Town • Clerk had proof of Posting and publication . The Supervisor read a letter from Frances Wilson , Trumansburg Road , ( see attache (l ) . The Supervisor asked for public comment . TB Minutes 7126193 Page 2 . • Agenda Item Not 3 = Cont ' d Celia Dowers , 1406 Trumansburg Road addressed the Board and thanked them for working on this proposal it is now better than first considered. , Mrs . Bowers stated that the problems discussed at the last Public hearing still exist . The Board is not keeping to the Comprehensive Plan , liquor is not appropriate at that location , the property is near a fire station and hospital , and there are emergency vehicles all the time on the road . Cornell has announced that the medical school is going to be cooperating with Tompkins Community hospital which will mean more medical facilities needed in the area . The proposed building could be properly used for the expansion of these medical facilities offices for which it is zoned . Where is a worry about incremental use , possibly not with this owner and "Town Board , but once zoning is changed you are setting a precedent . Selling the kitchen equipment for someone else to use is not a major burden on the owner . Mrs . Bowers urged the Board not to vote in favor of this proposal . Jane Schafrik , 1491 TTumansburg Road spoke to the Board . Mrs . Schafrik stated she had three major concerns over the rezoning . She feels uncomfortable with changes or different allowed uses before the Comprehensive Plan goes into effect . 'There is great concern over anyone who buys a piece of property and starts to renovate it extensively before permission is granted for the uses it is being renovated for . Does this put the Town Board and the Planning Board in a position of pressure to approve the use ? It seems that a line should be drawn , the Boards should not be put under pressure just because someone has invested in a piece of groper t v . Mrs . Schafrik stated she has no concerns over the apartments or business offices . Anyone who had children attending the Mayer School can tell you picking up the children in the afternoon was a nightmare as there is no traffic light . It is almost impossible to cross the road . 'That would happen for catered private parties on the property . Mr . Chiaschi is asking for a maximum of 30 functions a year , 30 functions could mean two weekend nights for fifteen weeks in the summer . Every weekend day in the summer there would be traffic problems . There would also be the noise problem , even though the functions are supposed to cease at 7 : 00 p . m . Mrs . • Schafrik said she has never been to a wedding that stopped on time . Mrs . Schafrik said she was not 100 % opposed to the use , but that these are serious concerns that should be considered . Giving permission after the fact is uncomfortable to her . The Supervisor mentioned that the "Town of Ithaca does not issue liquor licenses , there should not be any confusion that the Town is "TB Minutes 7 / 26 / 93 Page 3 . • Agenda Item No . 3 - Cont ' d approving that issue . The renovations to the building at present are of a general nature , and are not specific to the change in zoning being proposed . Aethna Grover , 1486 Trumansburg Road said her main concern is the serving of alcohol , There is no one on the Board that has to drive the road twice or more a day , and there has been many people who drive recklessly through the area . They have to go slow going up the hill , but as soon as the top of the hill is reached they start passing . It is a 55 mph speed zone . There is too much traffic now and it will be even worse with 100 to 150 guests leaving that location after having been drinking . William Ilooton , Trumansburg Road said he did not feel there should be any zoning changes . The owner bought it knowing what the zoning was . Traffic is terrible and no more is needed , The Hoard discussed the various speed limits within that area . The Supervisor noted that this area is one in which the Town has an application submitted to the New York State Department of Transportation for a reduction in the speed limit . Mrs . Bowers stated the West Hill Neighborhood Association wrote the NYSDOT asking for a reduction of the speed limit from the Town line to the City line because of the number of driveways that enter into the road , and the reply from them was that " there had not been enough people killed there vet " . The Supervisor said that she had received correspondence from the NYSDOT about the request and they said they would not lower the speed limit anymore than 45 mph . The Supervisor wrote back to them and pointed: out that it is 55 mph , not 45 mph . NYSDOT then said they would again investigate . The Highway Superintendent recently corresponded with the NYSDOT about all the requests for speed limit reductions . the Town is awaiting a response . Andrea Bouie , Director of the Massage School who will be renting the first floor of the building and one of the apartments , stated that she feels the catering business will have no effect on their • business or the apartments . She has no problem with the catering business being there . L' he Supervisor closed the Public Hearing at 5 : 45 p . m . Mrs . Raffensperger reminded the Board that at the last meeting several changes were made in the Local Law which necessitated the additional Public Bearing . y.. i TB Minutes 7 / 26 / 93 Page 4 • Agenda Item No . 3 - Cont ' d '1• he primary change had to do with on premise catering functions . The new restriction is that " no such functions will occur or continue between the hours of 7100 p . m . and 7100 a . m " . The second change was " that regardless of the hours the function ends there will be no amplified music outside the building " . and " all functions are to be for private groups and functions " . Councilman Klein addressed the revision on Page 2 , Paragraph A . that states , there will be no more than 30 such functions per year of which no more than 10 will be weekday evenings " . That was appropriate with the hours of operation until 10100 or 11. 100 p . m . Since the proposed draft prohibits any function past 7100 p . m . that may be too restrictive . Councilman Klein asked that item be amended . The Supervisor said that Councilman Klein could make an amendment at the proper time if he wished . Councilwoman Leary said that a comment was made about the plans for the Tompkins Community Hospital and their plans with Cornell University . This is the first Councilwoman Leary had heard about expanding the facility , and asked if this was just Mrs . Bowers assumption . The hospital has not notified the Town that they will be expanding . Mrs . Mowers responded that she had read about it in the newspaper , and that when any University uses other facilities for teaching , it can he expected that they will look for expansion because more People will be needing housing . There . will be more hospital related traffic . The Supervisor stated that the only proposal that is before the Town in relation to the Cornell expansion is the housing of five interns on the hospital grounds . Councilwoman Leary thought that the changes made last meeting addressed the major concerns of the neighborhood and was disappointed that no ' expression of satisfaction with any of those . . changes seemed evident . it appears that no matter what the Board dial the neighborhood is opposed to the project because it will increase traffic and alcohol consumption . Councilwoman Leary said she was happy with the changes made . Mrs . Schafrik asked what recourse there would be if the functions continue past the allotted time and the music is loud outside ? 'I' B Minutes 7126193 Page 5 . • Agenda Item No . 3 - Cont ' d The Supervisor explained that it would be an ordinance enforced by the Sheriff just as the noise ordinance is . Attorney Barney said that it would be subject to the Zoning Ordinance also with a fine and possible prison term . Mr . Hooton said there was a noise problem because of the amplified music when Cornell University owncd it . The Sheriff was called and nothing was done . The Supervisor noted that Cornell University owned it before the Noise Ordinance was adopted . Those were some of the reasons why the Noise Ordinance was adopted . Councilwoman Leary pointed. out that this is not fraternity houses , this is a business person with an established reputation . There are a great many safeguards in the proposed Local Law there shouldn ' t be major problems . Attorney Barney said the proposed Local Law expressly provides for no amplified music outside the building which was not the case when Cornell University owned it . Councilman Whitcomb recalled that at the last meeting the proposal was about to die when someone suggested that if the caterer was unable to obtain an on premises liquor license he would be unable to obtain an off premises license . The Supervisor recalled that the caterer would have to get single liquor licenses for each off premise function . This was considered to be a major concern and cost by the Planning Doard . Councilman Whitcomb thought that would impede the caterers ability to conduct off premises functions considerably . That is why the Board developed these compromises . Mr . Chiaschi said that the caterer would have to have seating for 50 people and a k tchen to show the ABC Board . If he had an off premise catering he would use the same license . but would get a • daily catering permit . With not having the liquor license at all he would not be able to get a catering permit . Councilman Whitcomb said that if the caterer were prohibited by this ordinance from having on premises functions , would be able to obtain the off premise license ? Mr . Chiaschi said that no he could not get the license . '1'B Minutes 7 / 26 / 93 Page 6 . • Agenda Item_ No . 3 - Cont ' d Mr . Barney said that the consequence would the caterer could not have an off premise license and would have to contract that part of the function to another business . Mr . Chiaschi said that would be a major blow to the business . The Supervisor allowed KryS Cail to address the Board . Krys Cail said that she is very interested in the relationship between the lessee and the other restaurants that have liquor licenses . Does the individual who is intending to use this space have liquor licenses in any other establishment in Tompkins County ? Mr . Chiaschi responded no , if he did he would not have the need for the means to obtain a license . Ms . Cail said that she felt it is very difficult to separate individuals and individual needs from the permanent use of a building ' or premises . She is very interested and concerned about uses of other future leases . If an original occupant did not make a go of their venture , could a case be made in court that the 7 : 00 p . m , time limit was to early to close an establishment that has a liquor license and make a profit . If as a juror it was mentioned that this use was allowed but there was a stipulation that it stopped at 7 : 00 p . me it might seem to be an unreasonable burden . Most of what is planned there is very positive . Ms . Cail was not overly concerned about the traffic implications . The traffic light at the hospital has a very good impact on the flow of traffic . The alcohol is a concern , not necessarily in this configuration . More information is needed about the implications of what having an alcohol license at the premises in the future means . Attorney Barnev said that it is very difficult to predict what the court would do with any issue in the future . The opportunity that is being given by the legislation has a number of uses . There are functions without alcohol . You could rent apartments and offices . If it were taken to court asking for an amendment because the business was not making it , and the Town chose not to amend it and • said these were the parameters at that time , there should not be too much difficulty sustaining the 'Towns position . The Town has developed a legislative history of the reasons for considering the alcohol at all . It is really an accommodation to allow off Premises uses of alcohol in conjunction with a business being able to serve it off premises . EN11=111M1111111111110=I 'I' H Minutes '/ / 26 / 93 Page 7 . • A_genda Item No . 3 - Cont ' d Councilwoman Leary Pointed out that it states in the Local Law that any of them references to the catering either on premise or off premise is preceded by the statement " only as long as it is owned by the same landowner " . This is another safeguard , Supervisor Raffensperger stated that she was originally very opposed to the on premises catering , She has come to feel that the compromises the Board made , such as no amplified music outside and the functions being discontinued by 7 : 00 p . mo met most of her concerns . Agenda Item No . 4 - SEQR , " LOCAL LAW TO _AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCP. PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SPECIAL LAND USE, DISTRICT ( LIMITED MIXED USE_ ) AT THE; FORMER _CORNE_ LL UNIVERSITY STATLER WEST COMPLEX TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL USES " Motion made by Councilman Klein , seconded by Councilman Liguori adopting a Negative Determination of Environmental Significance in accordance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act for the Proposed Local I ., aw .

TB Minutes "7 / 26 / 93 Page ti . • Agenda Item No . 5 - Cont ' d Councilman Whitcomb stated that at the last meeting he did not think the on premises catering was an appropriate use . IIe was convinced that on premises catering was needed because of the problems with the liquor license for the off premises catering . However , he still felt it is not an appropriate use of the property and. since he felt that he was unable to convince the Board of that at the last meeting he would not be able to do so now . For the record , Councilman Whitcomb said he was opposed to the Local Law . Roll call vote called . Supervisor Raffensperger , aye ; Councilman Whitcomb , nay ; Councilwoman Valentino , abstain ; Councilman i , iguori , aye ; Councilwoman Leary , aye ; Councilman Klein , aye . Motion carried . A-Lenda Itcm No . 6 - Hasbrouck Apartments Town Engineer , Daniel Walker explained that Ilasbrouck Apartments is a Cornell University residence facility which is in the process of being expanded by 92 units , from 246 units . The flealth :Department has been concerned with the sewer capacity because of history of overflows in the Kline Road area , lake Street . One of the conditions before expansion was that the capacity problem had to be corrected . The Kline Road bypass is currently under construction and. will be operational by August 9 . Mr . Walker is satisfied this arrangement meets the sanitary sewer requirements and recommends the acceptance of these arrangements as meeting the conditions for approval . There was also concern about water pressure and fire code compliance . In conversations with the Building Officer the sprinkler system is constructed and the tests have shown it will meet the fire codes . Cornell is also offering to fund two additional fire hydrants to be installed on the transmission main owned by Bolton Point . Motion made by Supervisor Raffensperger , seconded by Councilman Liguori that as the Town Engineer has accepted arrangements by • Cornell University to provide adequate water and sewer service to the Hasbrouck Apartments to serve the proposed expansion the Town Board accepts these arrangements as meeting the condition set by the Final Approval of the Planning Board and that the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy is authorized pending all requirements for such issuance having been met to the satisfaction of the Code Enforcement Officer / Duilding Inspector . -l' B Minutes 7 / 26 / 93 Page 9 . • Agenda Item. No . _ 6 - Cont ' d Councilman Liguori asked if the existing water were from the Cornell system , and will it tie into Bolton Point just for fire hydrants ? Mr . Walker responded that the existing water is from the Cornell system , and the fire hydrant is not up to full standards within the complex although the sprinkler system has been designed to function properly with the existing pressure from their own water . There are provisions in the future to upgrade the whole system . Safeguards that are used presently meet the standards . Councilwoman Valentino asked how Cornell pays for using hydrants ? Mr . Walker responded that is a flat charge each year . The details have not been agreed upon , but Cornell has agreed to fund that . This could be added to the resolution as an amendment for the satisfactory completion of an agreement with Cornell for an annual fee paid for hydrant use . Supervisor Raffensperger amended the resolution to include , " the satisfactory completion of an agreement with Cornell for an annual fee paid for hydrant use " . Councilman Liguori approved the amendment . Motion called with amendment . Carried unanimously . Agenda 1 tem No . 7 - Regues_t_ To _NYS_DOT _ for Speed Limit Reduction Trov Road and Bundy Road The Supervisor explained that Ward A . 11ung. erford , Tompkins County highway Manager wrote asking that the Town Board approve a request to a lower maximum speed limit on Troy Road from Coddington Road to East King Road , and on Bundy Road . Motion made by Councilman Liguori , seconded by Councilman Klein approving the request for a reduced speed limit on Troy Road from Coddington Road to East King Road , and on Bundy Road , and that the Town Clerk is instructed to complete the TE Form along with a certified copy of the resolution to Ward IIungerford for submission • to the NYSDOT . Cotncilman Whitcomb questioned why Mr . IIungerford cut the Troy Road change off at King Road rather than extend it a few more yards to the 'Down line . The density of houses on the upper end of Troy Road is not significantly less than on the lower end , and the upper end Of "Trov ( toad beyond King Road had an incline coming into the intersection , TB Minutes 7 / 26 / 93 Page 10 . • Agenda Item No . 7 - Cont ' d Councilwoman Valentino asked what the speed limit is there ? The Supervisor responded that the speed limit is 55 mph , when making the request you only ask for a reduction not a set speed limit . Councilman Whitcomb surmised the State would lower it to 45 mph since all the roads around that area are that speed limit . Councilman Liguori approved an amendment to the resolution stating that the speed limit be reduced on Troy Road from Coddington Road to the Town line . Amendment seconded by Councilman Klein . Councilman Whitcomb wondered if the amendment would make it less likely for the State to approve a speed limit reduction if they didn ' t like the amendment to the upper end , or would they exercise latitude themselves and change the boundary as they saw fit ? The Supervisor mentioned that another time the Board was worried about that possibility it was broken in to two sections . A request was made for one section and another separately . Motion called and carried unanimously . Additional Agenda item - - Request of Bicycle Group , Rt . 89 The Supervisor explained that the bicycle group represented by David Nutter has been involved with NYSDOT on the Route 89 issue . Mr . Nutter has been going to the meetings and done an excellent job negotiating with DOT on the problems on Route 89 , Mr . Nutter contacted the Supervisor and asked if she could receive Board authorization to write a letter to NYSDOT encouraging them in their review of the 55 mph speed limit on Route 89 to consider a transition speed zone . The speed limit goes from 30 mph in the City to 55 mph in the Town . Motion made by Councilwoman Valentino authorizing the Supervisor to correspond with Harry Carlson , Regional Director of Transportation , New York State Department of Transportation asking that a • transition speed zone be placed on Route 89 between the City speed limit of 30 mph and the Town speed limit of 55 mph .
