KING AREA CODE 607 August 24 , 1979 Town of Ithaca Planning Board Town Hall East Seneca Street Ithaca , NY 14850 Re : Swanson Sub -division Compton Road Gentlemen : I represent Gustav A . Swanson in the matter of his application to split off a one + acre unimproved building lot , and a one + acre small parcel containing an existing dwelling , both on the south side of Compton Road ( and Compton Road Extension ) out of his 80 -acre par - cel 45 - 1 - 1 . 2 . The small dwelling has existed at the easterly end - of Compton Road since the early 1960s and is designated No . 155 Compton road on the Survey made August 4 , 1966 , a reduced copy of which is sub - mitted herewith , such improved parcel being shown as " B" thereon . Lot " A" thereon is unimproved . Re : Environmental Assessment : no construction is contemplated by the Owner this minor sub -division request , the purpose being to sell off the improved Lot " B ". with its existing building , and to of - fer Lot " A " as a residential building lot under the R - 30 Zoning in effect there . It would be up to the purchaser of Lot " A " to decide what kind of residential building he would want to construct , and where upon that lot . That being the case , I can only point out general information on the Environmental Assessment Form. Them are conifers planted on Lot " A " ( 8�Llon'g the westerly side of Lot " B " ) , and a small ( usually dry ) creek runs along the southerly line of Lot " B " and perhaps in part along the southerly line of Lot " A " . But the lands are gently sloping westerly towards Danby Road , and present no severe grade or contour which would seem to be of significance in the matter of ad - ding a residential structure . Lot " A " ( the unimproved building lot ) presents no unusualefea - tures or problems for use as a single residential building lot , ex - cept Perhaps . for the fact that it is planted in conifers , and a con - struction site and yard area would have to be cleared and developed as a lawn and Yae.d area .

I will not be in Town for the August 13 , 1979 , meeting of the Town of Ithaca Town Board , therefore , I am sending this report to the Supervisor , with a copy to the Town Clerk , in advance of your meeting , for its presentation at the meeting . 1 . The Planning Board met in regular session on July 10 , 1979 , with all members present . A Public Hearing was held . in connection with the consideration of Final Subdivision Approval for the Inlet Valley Land Co - Operative , Inc . , 171 Calkins Road . The Environmental Assessment Form presented by the developer was examined in great detail , amendments thereto made , and the Form approved by the Board unanimously , with Mr . Mazza abstaining . A great deal of discussion of the proposed roadway and drainage led to the forming by the Chair of an ad hoc Committee , comprised of Mr . James Baker , Mr . Bernard Stanton , and Mr . Montgomery May , to walk the land and present a report to the Board . The Public Hearing was duly adjourned to July 17 , 1979 , at 7 : 30 p . m . 2 . Again , on July 10 , 1979 , a Public Hearing was held to consider revision of the Town of Ithaca Water and Sewer Benefit Formula . Among the public there present were Otto Schoenfeld , Lagrand E . Chase , Ivar Jonson , Rocco P . Lucente , Evan N . Monkemeyer and Willis E . Hilker . They , as well as the public , participated in the discus - . Sion . The Planning Board members unanimously endorsed the proposed revision to the Benefit Formula and full/ 3upporl tdl 1 5 & &1QptA00r. by �1, Q Town Board . The results of that discussion have been forwarded to the Supervisor , as of July 17 , 1979 , and , I believe , are being set before you this evening . 3 . And finally , on July 10 , 1979 , a Public Hearing was held to consider Preliminary Subdivison Approval for a proposed 10 - lot subdivision backlot of Ridgecrest Road as presented by Mr . Lagrand E . Chase . Planning Board members Bronfenbrenner , Schultz and Aron , the ad hoc Committee appointed to walk the land , reported . Because of certain deficiencies in the E . A . F . the Public Hearing was adjourned to July 17 , 1979 , at 8 : 00 p . m . 4 . On July 17 , 1979 , the Public Hearing in the matter of the Inlet Valley Land Co - Operative , Inc . subdivision proposal was continued . The Board had the pleasure of having the Town Attorney present with whose guidance and expertise , together with lengthy discussion , the Planning Board arrived at a unanimous decision , Mr . Mazza abstaining , to grant Final Subdivison Approval . The Resolution granting final subdivision approval contains nine ( 9 ) carefully delineated conditions . 5 . And , on July 17 , 1979 , the Public Hearing in the matter of the Lagrand E . Chase subdivision proposal off Ridgecrest Road was continued . The EAF was examined in detail , amendments made , and unanimously approved by the Planning Board . After a 35 minute discussion , Preliminary Subdivision Approval , without condition , was granted . .to the proposed 10 - lot subdivison presented by Lagrand E . Chase . i ` •REPORT of Planning Board Chairman to Town Board , August 13 , 1979 . - 2 - - 6 . Again , on July 17 , 1979 , the Planning Board made recommendations of �\ approval by the Town Board for three signs : �t Is a . Citizens Savings Bank - variance required . b . Cortright Electric - no variance needed . . c . Millbrook - no variance needed . I believe that Mr . Bonnell will be presenting those sign applications to you at this meeting . 7 . And finally , on July 17 , 1979 , the Board discussed certain problem areas in the Environmental Assessment Form . It is my understanding that Mrs . Restaino and Mrs . Fuller have been putting this discussion together and are drafting certain proposed changes . i 8 . As a final note , I would like to add that the Planning Board was �e pleased to learn of the results of the matter heard by the Court in re the Ivar Jonson , Texas Lane , Subdivision . 9 . The Planning Board will next meet on September 4 , 1979 . We wish you all a good summer . of cc - Edward L . Bergen Lawrence P . Fabbroni
