MAY 13, 1968
At a regular meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca,
Tompkins County, New York, held at the Town Offices, 108 E. Green
Street, Ithaca, New York onthe 13th day of May, i960, at 4 o'clock
p.m., there were:
PRESENT: Supervisor William B. Kerr, Councilmen Andrew W. McElwee,
Joseph N. Mayer, Jr. and Harry U. Baker.
Absent: Councilman Harry N. Gordon
Also Present: Attorney James V. Buyoucos, Highway Superintendent

Lozier Engineer James Dunlap, Mrs. Livesay from Snyder Hill Road,
Major Fisher from West Hill, Mr. Linscott from Stone Quarry
Road, and approximately 8 residents from Sapsucker Woods area
and the Northeast.
Rocco Lucente--Zoning Violation
Preceding the meeting by several days a petition was received
with 45 signatures from the northeast area and appearing at the
meeting approximately 8 residents from the northeast, mainly
Sapsucker Woods area, both contesting the assumed intent' of Rocco
Lucente, contractor to rent duplex housing to students to be used
as rooming houses or boarding houses which would be in violation
of the Zoning Ordinance inasmuch as the area is in an R-I5 zone
and building permits were issued for 2family dwelling units. The
Town Attorney notified Mr. Lucente on May 2, I968 by letter that
renting to students (l4 in each house) would be in violation to
zoning and anything he continued building in this line is at his
peril. Since no town official had been contacted by Mr. Lucente
of his intent at board meeting time, the board authorized Mr.
Buyoucos to obtain an injunction against Mr. Lucente to dis
continue builiding until such time as he abides by building and
zoning regulations.
RESOLUTION 214-MOWING EQUIPMENT
Supervisor Kerr moved that the town purchase a 6-7 foot wide
flail type mower attachment for the highway department's use
