The Public Hearing in the above - noted matter was declared to be open by the Acting-Chairman , Mr . Bradley , The Town Clerk ' s Affidavit of Posting and Publication of this Public Hearing was presented for the record . Mr . Bradley noted the presentation of a new plan by Mr . Blatchley , being an update of the April 7 , 1969 , plan heretofore discussed . Mr . Bradley also noted that the single access to the Blatchley land was the problem . Mr . Bradley stated that the updated plan now being presented shows two accesses - - one off Honness Lane next to property of Robert Chase and another one off Slaterville Road next to property of Bangs , Mr . Fabbroni discussed the proposed " circumferential " road and how it affects the Town Official Highway Map . Mr . Fabbroni noted that at the last Planning Board meeting there was a discussion of the possible removal of the proposed Town road shown on the Official Town Highway Map to the west of Pine Tree Road , at the least that portion from Slaterville Road to Honness Lane , Mr . May asked Mr . Fabbroni to indicate where the Schickel Development ( Eastwood Commons ) is in relationship to this area , There followed a discussion of the impact of the proposed road ' s remaining on the Official Map or being deleted therefrom . Mr . Reece wondered what the obstacles are toward the approval of Mr . Blatchley ' s subdivision that are created by this proposed road being on the Official Map and running right through his property . Mr . Fabbroni discussed the proposed " beltway " , or " circumferential " , or " loop road " , whatever you want to call it , and its proposed routing through Forest Home and right through Cornell land and so on , He also stated that this Board has no power to erase this proposed road from the Official Map , so its existence bears on the discussion of Mr . Blatchley ' s subdivision . Mr . Planning Board - 2 - January 4 , 1977 • Fabbroni stated that this matter also needs a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals for Mr . Blatchley ' s proposed lot which is located right where the proposed road is shown and is 85 ' x 200 ' in dimension . Mrs . Hoffmann pointed out that those people who have built in the area will be caught unaware if the road is changed . Mr . Aron stated that the presence of this proposed road on the Official Map for almost 10 years has restrained Mr . Blatchley from development for too long . He also noted that Mr . Blatchley is making every effort to comply with the Planning Board recommendations . The proposed circumferential road continued to be a large topic of discussion . The consensus of the Board remained that the section of road between Slaterville Road and Honness Lane , at the very least , should be removed from the Official Map . Mr . Bradley outlined the steps that need to be taken in connection with moving along Mr . Blatchley ' s request for subdivision approval . 1 . Approval or non- approval by the Planning Board , 2 . The question of the proposed road to the Town Board , 3 . A variance question to the Zoning Board of Appeals . MOTION by Mr . Henry Aron , seconded by Mr . Montgomery Mays RESOLVED , that the Planning Board of. the Town of. Ithaca grant and hereby does _grant final subdivision approval to the Blatchley Subdivision • off Honness Lane and Slaterville Road with two 50 ' access roads from Honness Lane and Slaterville Road as shown on map of said Blatchley Subdivision dated April 7 , 1969 , updated and presented to said Planning Board on January 4 , 1977 , by Mr . Richard Blatchley , and further RESOLVED , that such approval is contingent upon the removal from the Official Town Highway Master Plan map of the existing proposed road running from Slaterville Road to Honness Lane through said Blatchley lands , such contingency applying to the lot next to Bredbenner . There being no further discussion , the Chair called for a vote . Ave - Bradley , Aron , May , Reece , Paolangeli . Nay - None . The MOTION was declared to be carried unanimously . Acting - Chairman Bradley stated that the Board will now consider a recommendation to the Zoning Board of Appeals regarding the lot next to Bredbenner contingent upon the removal of the existing proposed road shown on the official map . Mr . Reece stated his objection to a 50 ' right of way and said that he would not be put in a position to agree to it again . He said he was referring to the proposed circumferential road being 60 ' and not 501 . MOTION by Mr . Henry Aron . WHEREAS , the Town of Ithaca Planning Board has this date , January 4 , 1977 , approved the Blatchley Subdivision , based upon an updated sub- division map presented by Mr .
