Clerk ' s Affidavit of Posting and Publication of the Notice of Public
Hearing in Town Hall and the Ithaca Journal on September 12 , 1978 , and
September 14 , 1978 , respectively , together with the Secretary ' s Affidavit
® of Service by Mail of said Notice upon the various neighbors of the
parcel in question and upon Lawrence and Trinna Iacovelli , as party to
the action .
Mr . Edward Mazza appeared before the Planning Board and stated that
he was representing Mr . and Mrs . Iacovelli who were unable to attend
because Mr . Iacovelli is working in the State of Massachusetts on a con -
struction project . Mr . Mazza stated that this proposal has been before
the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals ( January 10 , 1978 ) and the
request was denied . The Zoning Board of Appeals resolution reads as
follows :
" MOTION by Mr . Edward King , seconded by Mr . Edward Austen :
RESOLVED , that the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Ithaca deny
and hereby does deny the application for variance in the matter of the
Appeal of Lawrence Iacovelli based upon the fact that there are no prac -
tical difficulties or unnecessary hardship shown by Mr . Iacovelli as stated
in Section 77 , paragraph 6 , of the Town of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance reading :
' Where there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship in the way
of carrying out the strict letter of this ordinance , the Board of Appeals
shall have the power , in passing upon appeals , to vary or modify the appli -
cation of any of the regulations or provisions of this ordinance so that
the spirit of the ordinance shall be observed and public safety and welfare
secured and substantial justice done . ' ; nor is this a case where this
Board can issue special approval .
® Aye - Hewett , Reuning , King , Austen .
Nay - None .
Absent - Francese .
Carried unanimously . "
Planning Board - 2 - September 19 , 1978
Mr . Mazza noted that the Zoning Board felt that they had no authority
to act upon this proposal nor did they have enough facts . Mr . Mazza stated
® that the appellants met again with the Zoning Board of Appeals on an infor -
mal basis and the Zoning Board said that they did not have the authority
to act on this proposal and suggested that the matter be taken to the Town
Board . Mr . Mazza stated that they took the matter to the Town Board and
the Town Board said to take the request to the Planning Board in order that
the Planning Board may make a recommendation to the Town Board .
( Secretary ' s Note : The sequence of events as noted by Mr . Mazza is
as follows and is set forth as described by Mr . Edward King , member , Zoning
Board of Appeals , and Mr . Edward Bergen , Town Clerk : Mr . Mazza and Mr .
Iacovelli met with the Zoning Board of Appeals on an informal basis on
site on July 27 , 1978 , Mr . Francese , Mr . King , and Mrs . Reuning , being
present , and toured the premises in question and went through the house
itself . On July 31 , 1978 , at 7 : 30 p . m . , again on an informal basis , Mr .
Mazza met with the Zoning Board of Appeals which said that they did not
have the authority to act on this proposal and suggested that the matter
be taken to the Town Board with a request for amendment of the Zoning
Ordinance to allow for the acretion of two lots for the placement of one
house and / or a rezoning for a multi - family residence . On August 7 , 1978 )
at the Town Board Meeting held in the Forest Home Chapel , the Town Board
informed Mr . Mazza that a rezoning request should be presented to the
Planning Board in order for the Planning Board to make a recommendation to
the Town Board . )
Mr . Mazza stated that the area in question is located in an R- 9
Residential District and is known as 165 - 167 Kendall Avenue , Town of Ithaca
Tax Parcel # 6 - 54 - 4 - 25 . This parcel contains five 50 ' lots , the most
westerly two lots of which contain Mr . and Mrs . Iacovelli ' s personal resi -
dence , and the easterly three lots contain the two - family structure in
question . These three 50 ' frontage lots may be considered as one - 150 ' -
frontage lot . Mr . Mazza stated that under the Town of Ithaca Zoning
Ordinance these lots are big enough to put single family homes on each of
the three lots . Mr . Mazza pointed out that the zoning ordinance permits
three unrelated persons in each of these single family dwellings , should
they be built , and , therefore , there could be nine unrelated persons in
these three homes on these three 50 ' lots . Mr . Mazza also pointed out that
this 150 ' lot could be divided into two lots of 75 ' frontage and there
could be two two - family dwelling homes constructed thereon . Mr . Mazza
stated that he had discussions with Mr . Buyoucos , the Town Attorney , as to
how many unrelated persons there may be permitted in such a two - family
dwelling . Mr . Mazza stated that he ( Mazza ) contends that there may be
eight unrelated persons on these two lots of 75 ' each if the lots were to
be so constructed upon .
Mr . Mazza stated that Mr . Iacovelli :.,would like to have the one
structure that is presently in place on the three lots become a four - dwel -
ling unit structure and have it be occupied by a total of eight unrelated
persons . Mr . Mazza noted again that this concept would be much less of
an impact on the parcel than , say , the three single - family homes he des -
cribed placed upon three 50 ' lots with the possibility of nine unrelated
® persons totally .
Mr . Mazza stated that the parcel in question abutts on a light indus -
trial zone . He reiterated that the Iacovelli ' s home is directly to the
west of the two - family dwelling in question .
Mr . Mazza stated that d.ontiention that having this dwelling
structure set up in the proposed manner , i . e . , a four - unit dwelling , is
Planning Board - 3 - September 19 , 1978
not going to hurt the public health , safety or welfare ; there would be
no greater traffic than what there would be if each of the three 50 ' lots
were developed ; there would be no greater noise ; there would be no greater
incursion upon the water and sewer system ; there would be more air space
available , more open space and there would be no parking problem .
Mr . Mazza pointed out that under the present zoning ordinance there
is a practical difficulty and unnecessary hardship involved since it is
more of a financial problem to construct three single - family homes than the
one presently two - family structure .
Mr . Mazza cited the benchmark case in this area of the zoning law ,
1967 New York Court of Appeals case of Fulling v . Palumbo , wherein the
petitioner appealed a Zoning Board denial of a variance based upon there
being no economic hardship shown . The Court of Appeals held that the
variance was improperly denied and stated the following rule of law : " The
basic rule which has evolved from the case is : where the property owner
will suffer significant economic injury by the application of an area
standard ordinance , that standard can be justified only by a showing that
the public health , safety and welfare will be served by upholding the
applications of the standard and denying the variance . "
Among the documentation presented to the Planning Board was also a
case in the Village of Cayuga Heights - - Daniel Marvin and Dr . H . J . Peter
Patrick vs . the Village of Cayuga Heights Zoning Board . The petitioner
took an Article 78 proceeding against the Zoning Board ' s denial of the
appeal to have a dental office in a house in a residential area . Judge
® Bryant ruled in favor of the petitioner and the Zoning Board appealed the
matter to the Appellate Division which confirmed Judge Bryant ' s decision .
Chairman Bronfenbrenner asked for a review of what is presently on
the site . Mrs . Bronfenbrenner noted that the premises in question is
a " parcel 120 ' x 150 ' . Mrs . Bronfenbrenner stated that the Board could
not proceed without a site plan . Photographs of the two - family home
presently on site were distributed around to the Board members .
Mr . Mazza stated that he was trying to find a Board to hear this
matter .
Mr . Fabbroni stated that the building as it stands on the lot ( s )
right now is placed to the easterly side of the three lots and has the
dimensions as shown on the plan entered with the building permit applica-
tion although the original permit application showed it to the westerly
side of the three lots . Mr . Fabbroni stated that the building does not
meet the requirements for multiple residence in terms of side yard but it
does meet the requirements of an R- 9 district .
Mrs . Bronfenbrenner stated that the Iacovelli application does not
meet the area , side yard and parking requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
for Multiple Residence District . Mrs . Bronfenbrenner stated that the Board
does not have enough information .
Mr . Fabbroni stated that the Planning Board should consider the
application on the basis of whether the application has any merit to begin
with . Mr . Fabbroni stated that the things being pointed out , e . g . , parking ,
have been difficult to meet on any apartment in the Town with regard to
the front yard and the logical conclusion is that it should be changed .
Mr . Fabbroni noted that the Board is considering one building here and
typically the zoning ordinance is referring to a complex of buildings . He
Planning Board - 4 - September 19 , , 1978
noted that in this case garbage may mean four garbage cans .
Mrs . Bronfenbrenner pointed out that eight people can make a serious
trash problem .
Mr . Fabbroni stated that a consensus on the merits of the application
itself is needed before moving on to what are site plans .
Mr . Mackesey stated that if Mr . Iacovelli felt at the time that a
two - family structure was economically feasible , why does he now , only a
month after occupancy , find it economically unfeasible . Mr . Mackesey
pointed out that he has not tried to find out if it is economically
feasible .
Mr . Mazza stated that they are saying that the zoning creates serious
economic injury to whoever owns it .
There followed a lengthy exchange between Mr . Mazza and the Board
as to the citation of the Palumbo case . This was followed by a lengthy
discussion of just what a four - dwelling structure can mean in any area
and how many persons may or may not end up living in such a structure .
Mr . Mazza pointed out that the economic injury involved here is the
placing of another two - family structure right next door which would be
permitted .
Mrs . Bronfenbrenner stated that she did not think it is arguable that
® a multi - family residence is a detriment to a neighborhood - this is a fact
of life in this town .
Mr . Fabbroni noted that this is a classic (5gse of spot zoning in a
two - family neighborhood .
Mr . Mazza asked the Board why there is provision for rezoning in the
Town zoning law ?
Mr . Mackesey pointed out that Mr . Iacovelli will have to rent to
students . A lengthy discussion of this question followed .
Mrs . Eva Hoffmann , from the floor , asked again about the Palumbo case
- - when it was decided and in what court . Mr . Mazza stated that it was
decided in 1967 in the New York Court of Appeals which is the highest
court in the State of New York .
Mrs . Susan Fertik , 118 Juniper Drive , spoke from the floor and
voiced her opposition to any multiple residence development in the general
area .
Mr . George C . Kugler , 101 Pine View Terrace , spoke from the floor
and asked if this proposal for rezoning meets the one acre requirement for
multiple residence district ( 43 , 560 sq . ft . ) as stated in Section 28 ,
Mrs . Bronfenbrenner replied that it did not .
Mr . Kugler presented a petition signed by 28 persons in the area of
Pennsylvania Avenue , Kendall Avenue , Pine View Terrace , and Juniper Drive ,
and reading as follows :
" We the undersigned residents of the South Hill Area wish to go on
record as being opposed to any changes to this area ' s zoning regulations .
Planning Board - 5 - September 19 , 1978
This area has been traditionally a residential zone and the housing
blends with the scenic views , any changes to allow multi - storied buildings
• would block and distort the views and lose the beauty of the area .
Another and equally point is that the increased traffic flow from
multiple dwelling would be detrimental to the existing roads and increase
the chance of accidents . "
Mr . Kugler cited the horrible house on Juniper Drive and Pine View
Terrace which is a Sterling Homes pre - fab , very small , and full of students .
Mr . Che - Yu Li , 112 Juniper Drive , spoke from the floor and stated
that if this spot zoning were to be allowed the next one would be allowed
too that Mr . Iacovelli has in mind . Mr . Mazza pointed out that Lawrence
Iacovelli has nothing to do with the apartment request that this Board
heard about a year ago from his brother .
• Mr . Lyman Baker , 257 Pennsylvania Avenue , stated that .103 Kendall
Avenue has six students crammed in two bedrooms and also that 239
Pennsylvania Avenue has four cars in the front yard and that there is also
a dump in progress on Kendall Avenue .
Mrs . June Belous , 178 Kendall Avenue , stated that she lives on a
dead end . and that the winter is a hazard there and the traffic is bad .
Any added traffic would be a disaster . She stated that people use her
property as a turn - around .
® At 8 : 29 p . m . Chairman Bronfenbrenner declared the Public Hearing
in the Lawrence and Trinna Iacovelli rezoning request duly closed .
Mrs . Bronfenbrenner asked if there were any further comments from
the Board . Mr . Mackesey stated that he felt it was spot zoning and could
see no severe economic hardship . Mr . Mazza repeated that his client was
facing severe economic injury .
MOTION by Mr . Montgomery May , seconded by Mrs . Carolyn Grigorov :
RESOLVED , that the Planning Board of the Town of Ithaca recommend
and hereby does recommend to the Town Board that the request of Lawrence and
Trinna Iacovelli for the rezoning of Tax Parcel No . 6 - 54 - 4 - 25 , 167 Kendall
Avenue , Ithaca , N . Y . , from residential District 9 to Multiple Family
District be denied on the basis that it does not meet the requirements of
paragraph 1 of Section 28 of Article VI of the Town of Ithaca Zoning
Ordinance .
There being no further discussion , the Chair called for a vote .
Aye - Bronfenbrenner , Aron , May , Mackesey , Stanton , Grigorov , Baker .
Nay - None .
The Chair declared the MOTION to be carried unanimously .
Chairman Bronfenbrenner stated that she thought the matter is a
isvariance question and should be before the Zoning Board of Appeals .
PUBLIC HEARING : SITE PLAN REVIEW , PHASE II , EASTWOOD COMMONS , TAX PARCEL
6 - 60 - 1 - 25 . 42 , TOWN OF ITHACA , N . Y . NORBERT SCHICKEL .
Chairman Bronfenbrenner declared the Public Hearing in the above -
noted matter duly opened at 8 : 36 p . m . , and presented for the record the
Planning Board - 6 - September 19 , 1978
Clerk ' s Affidavit of Posting and Publication of the Notice of Public
Hearing in Town Hall and the Ithaca Journal on September 12 , 1978 , and
September 14 , 1978 , respectively .
Mr . Norbert Schickel appeared before the Planning Board and stated
that he was requesting Planning Board approval of Phase 2 of his Eastwood
Commons project . A map of the site plan was presented . Mr . Schickel
pointed out that Phase 1 included sites l through 10 , plus 15 , recently
approved as an addition thereto . Mr . Schickel stated that the Phase 2
approval request is for 14 buildings , number 11 through 25 , with the
exception of number 15 .
Mr . Schickel stated that he has introduced a new line of custom- designed
" Villas " . He noted that they may have three units in each structure instead
_ of four . He stated that the maximum would be four , but some may be less
than four .
Mr . May asked if this would be annexed to the homeowners ' agreement .
Mr . Schickel said the residents ' association will continue .
Mr . Aron asked if Phase 2 would be similar in construction to Phase 1 .
Mr . Schickel replied that it would . Mr . Schickel noted that Phase 2 will
complete the looping of the road .
Mrs . Bronfenbrenner asked if there were water and sewer . Mr . Schickel
stated that there was , noting that the water and sewer has been laid and
will be spliced in .
® Mr . Schickel stated that they will build to order now .
Mrs . Bronfenbrenner asked if the plans meet the required specifications .
Mr . Fabbroni said that he had a couple of points to discuss . ( 1 ) The
road is now going to be exactly the same as Wildflower , i . e . , pavement ,
gutters , etc . Mr . Schickel replied that it was .
Mr . Fabbroni noted that Phase 1 had a very detailed landscaping plan .
Mr . Schickel agreed and stated that the idiom of the landscaping plan will
be followed .
Mr . Fabbroni stated that final Health Department approval of the
utility plan must be obtained . Mr . Schickel stated that they are using
natural gas heat . Mr . Schickel stated that NYSEG had approved the whole
project ; then they confined it to Phase 1 and after the furnaces were
bought they said they would not approve and then they did . He stated that
he thought the Phase 2 approval will stand now .
Mr . Fabbroni mentioned the question of the Pyle land . Mr . Schickel
stated that the title needs to be cleared up . The access to Woodcrest
Avenue - walkway - was discussed . Mr . Fabbroni talked about going along
with Mr . Schickel and changing the location of the walkway as it is shown
here on the plan presented , the matter could be resolved in the course of
the negotiations with Mrs . Or, cutt and Mrs . Esther Martin . He noted that
the right of way involves two people ; on the Town side it involves only
one .
Mr . Fabbroni wished to have the record show that the fact is noted
that the solution to the problem should involve some sort of access to the
land - locked parcel of Mrs . Orcutt .
Planning Board - 7 - September 19 , 1978
Mr . Schickel stated that he would not like the Board to make the
• approval contingent upon that because he would have no bargaining power .
He stated that the Town requested this walkway and he wants to have the
walkway , but , in order to do it he has to have a _ . negotiating area . Mr .
Schickel stated that he will give her access to her property from Stawberry
Hill Road .
Mr . Fabbroni recommended changing the location of the walkway so it does
not cut right through her property .
There being no further comments , Chairman Bronfenbrenner declared the
Public Hearing in the matter of site plan review of Phase II of Eastwood
Commons , duly closed at 8 : 58 p . m .
MOTION by Mrs . Carolyn Grigorov , seconded by Mrs . Liese Bronfenbrenner :
RESOLVED , that the Planning Board of the Town of Ithaca grant and
hereby does grant final approval to the site plan presented , Eastwood
Commons , Phase II , Tax Parcel No . 6 - 60 - 1 - 25 . 42 , 14 buildings # 11 through
#25 , excluding # 15 , contingent upon receipt of the approval of said Phase
II from the Tompkins County Health Department for utilities .
There being no further discussion , the Chair called for a vote .
Aye - Bronfenbrenner , Aron , May , Mackesey , Stanton , Grigorov , Baker .
Nay - None .
® The Chair declared the MOTION to be carried unanimously . .
CONSIDERATION OF WALKWAY IN FOREST HOME .
At 9 : 00 p . m . , the Board commenced discussion of a walkway in the
Forest Home neighborhood of the Town . Mr . Fabbroni stated that Mr . John
Hertel owns a walkway from Warren Road down along the edge of the
Cornell property to Forest Home Drive just opposite the north bridge in
Forest Home , between Kelley ' s property and Whetzel ' s property . He stated
that it is a ten - foot walkway and reiterated that it follows right along
the Cornell property and comes out by the north bridge . Mr . Fabbroni stated
that Mr . Hertel is proposing to give the walkway to the Town of Ithaca by
quit claim deed .
Mr . May wondered how much of a maintenance headache it is going to be
for the Town , noting that parts of it are pretty steep .
Mrs . Bronfenbrenner stated that it has managed pretty well with very
little maintenance .
Mr . Fabbroni stated that if the Town does not take the walkway , Mr .
Hertel will quit claim it to the adjacent landowner and it will cease to
be a walkway .
Mrs . Bronfenbrenner noted that school children have always used this
path even in the winter . She stated that it is fairly essential for the
kids going to school and people walking to Campus use this path . She
commented that it is hefty hiking . Mrs . Bronfenbrenner stated that people
from Halcyon Hill and Crest Lane use it to go to Campus . She summed up
by stating that it is a regularly travelled path .
Planning Board - 8 - September 19 , 1978
Mr . Fabbroni stated that there is a certain amount of maintenance that
goes with the walkway and Mr . Hertel is too old to do it any more and he
has lost interest .
Mr . Mackesey pointed out that the public safety is really better in
terms of keeping people off the road when they use the walkway .
MOTION by Mrs . Liese Bronfenbrenner , seconded by Mr . James Baker :
RESOLVED , that the Planning Board of the Town of Ithaca is of the
opinion that the Town of Ithaca should accept the quit claim deed from Mr .
John Hertel for the pathway and should express its vote of thanks to Mr .
Hertel .
There being no further discussion , the Chair called for a vote .
Aye - Bronfenbrenner , Aron , May , Mackesey , Stanton , Grigorov , Baker .
Nay - None .
The Chair declared the MOTION to be carried unanimously .
