REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEER - LAWRENCE P . FABBRONI
No report .
REPORT OF THE TOWN PLANNER - PETER M . LOVI
Mr . Lovi stated that he had three or four items to report on .
( 1 ) Continuing Projects : -
- Lake Shore West
Mr . Lovi stated that , as the Board knows , the Town Board made
a determination with respect to the EAF on a part of this project
at its April meeting and as part of that determination requested
some eight additional pieces of information regarding the nursing
home facility . Mr . Lovi stated that Kevin Lewis , the Architect , is
in the process of working with the consultants , and he ( Lovi ) is
working on it also , trying to put that information together .
Mr . Lovi stated that the principals of the development firm
are somewhat insistent on the need for having the entire project
considered as to the rezoning and the R30 uses , even though there
is really no detail on the doctors ' offices and the retirement
apartments down the hill . Mr . Lovi stated that he had received a
letter from Enrique Darer recently which was quite explicit as to
what they require in the form of approvals in order to move ahead
at all . Mr . Lovi stated that he will be meeting later this week
with Mr . Desch , Mr . Fabbroni , and Mr . Knowlton on this matter . Mr .
Lovi stated that Mr . Lewis understands the need for more
information and is proceeding with the job of obtaining it . Mr .
Lovi stated that he wished the record to show that both Mr .
Knowlton and Mr . Lewis realize the Town ' s position and agree with
it , Mr . Darer and others seem to be wanting more .
Wiggins ' Chateau
Mr . Lovi commented that " The Chateau " is looking a lot more
like a " Chateau " every time drawings come in , " The Chateau " is now
" La Tourelle " . Mr . Lovi stated that he met last week with Mr .
Downing , the Architect , and his assistant , Steve Parsons . Mr . Lovi
stated that , as the Board was aware , Mr . Wiggins does not have as
• t
Planning Board 3 May 1 , 1984
• much land as he thought he had , since he had given some to his °
daughter . Mr . Lovi stated that the proposed building does not meet
the side yard requirements , having a very steep roof , and being
about 52 feet high . Chairman May said he had heard rumours about
three stories . Mr . Lovi commented that it appears as though it may
contain three " floors " , adding that it is on a slope with the first
phase having 24 units and a manager ' s office . Mr . Lovi stated that
he has suggested that they come in when the working drawings are in
better shape and let the Planning Board take a look at it . Mr .
Lovi commented that the design is not at all bad , being somewhat
reminiscent of the law school . Mr . Lovi stated that the floor plan
is quite nice and it looks to be quite a nice facility , however ,
enough things seem to be changed that he thought the Board should
look at it - - probably at the next meeting .
( 2 ) SEQR-Related Items : -
Mr . Lovi stated that during this last week there have been
discussions between the Town and the Dormitory Authority with
respect to the SEQR Law and the Dormitory Authority ' s compliance or
non - compliance with it . Mr . Lovi stated that the Dormitory
Authority is selling $ 100 million in bonds for capital projects for
Cornell University , several of which are in the Town of Ithaca .
Mr . Lovi stated that the Dormitory Authority sent a determination ,
as lead agency , of non - significance to which the Town objected both
as to the determination and the lead agency status . Mr . Lovi
stated that the Town was the only objector , however , they could not
sell the bonds until the matter was resolved and it has been
resolved such that ( 1 ) with respect to the steam plant conversion
from oil to coal the review will be deemed as a generic review , but
when the project becomes site specific , they agreed that they would
not object to the Town of Ithaca as lead agency should it choose to
act as such , and ( 2 ) with respect to transportation , given the
plans for additional parking in the East Ithaca area , the Town has
achieved a kind of victory in that the Dormitory Authority is
recognizing the Town ' s standing to review the environmental aspects
of the project .
( 3 ) Six Mile Creek Study Committee matters : -
Mr . Lovi , commenting that this matter is also SEQR- related ,
stated that the Six Mile Creek Study Committee passed its
recommendations on to Common Council and they have been sent
through the channels of City government in a remarkably speedy
manner , there being resolutions ready for Common Council to vote on
tomorrow - - May 2nd , Mr . Lovi stated that these involve actions
which would be in the Town and would have some impact on the Town
in general , certainly on abutting landowners . Mr . Lovi stated that
the Town Supervisor wrote to the Mayor pointing out that the Town
should be the lead agency . Mr . Lovi commented that the City is no
different from any other landowner in the Town and it is something
that the Town should look at . Mr . Lovi stated that major policy
changes are involved here and the Town may be looking at this
matter in the future if , in fact , it comes in . Mr . Lovi stated
' 1
Planning Board 4 May 1 , 1984
that right now the entire watershed area is off limits with the
exception of the Circle Greenway ; however , one of the proposals is
that the area below the 60 - foot dam should become open to the
public . Mr . Lovi described a scenario going something like this - -
people park on , say , Penny Lane , in Commonland , and walk down to
the watershed ; then while walking back up to their car , they trip
over something and break an ankle , at that point there are
potentially serious questions of liability which should be answered
before the policy change is made .
Mr . Mazza inquired as to the zone designation now in place by
the Town for the watershed area . The Secretary noted that the area
is zoned Residence District R- 30 , Mr . Mazza asked if a park were
permitted ; the Secretary read from Article V , Section 18 , of the
Zoning Ordinance [ Permitted Uses ] , paragraph 5 : " Publicly owned
park or playground including accessory buildings and improvements . "
Discussion followed with respect to opinions on the possibility of
such an area being a park or not a park . Discussion followed with
respect to who is , or is not , lead agency , and where , or whether ,
SEQR is triggered or not triggered .
Chairman May thanked Mr . Lovi for his report .
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY - NANCY M . FULLER
Mrs . Fuller stated that she had already distributed all the
material . she had to the Board members just prior to the opening of
the meeting .
REPORT OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR - LEWIS D . CARTEE
Mr . Cartee reported that 27 permits were issued in the month
of April 1984 for a total of $ 988 , 130 . 00 in improvements , as
compared to 14 permits for a total of $ 256 , 126 . 00 in improvements
in the month of April 1983 . Mr . Cartee pointed out that 14 of the
15 single - family homes for which permits were issued were for
Commonland Community . Mr . Cartee commented that almost a million
dollars worth of construction in April is really rather impressive .
SIGN REVIEW BOARD
Chairman May asked that Mr . Cartee present an application for
change in signage at the former location of " Bud ' s Red & White " on
Mitchell Street . Mr . Cartee appeared before the Board and stated
that , as the Board was probably aware , Mr . McFall has retired ,
however , the legal non - conforming aspect of his store remains
intact since it has been less than one year since he closed up
" Bud ' s " . Mr . Cartee stated that a young lady has rented the store
and will be conducting a knitting business there . Mr . Cartee
distributed a drawing of theproposed sign , reading : " knitting
machines . . . etc . " , and also several colored photographs of the
former " Bud ' s " store . Mr . Cartee stated that the proposed sign is
13h sq . ft . in size , commenting that Bud ' ssign was a legal
non - conforming sign of 30 sq . ft . Mr . Cartee commented that the
Planning Board 5 May 1 , 1984
gasoline pumps have been removed at Bud ' s . Mr . Cartee stated that
the Sign Law permits a 4 sq . ft . sign in this zone , however , he
would have to agree with the young lady that a sign of that size
could not be seen as one drove by . Mr . Cartee stated that there
will probably be less traffic with this new business than there has
been with " Bud ' s " . Mr . Cartee stated that the whole building is
being redone and is very nice , adding that Mr . McFall ( Bud ) is a
very nice gentleman and very easy to work with . Mr . Cartee stated
that he did not know of any other use this building could be for ,
pointing out that there is ample off - street parking .
MOTION by Mrs . Carolyn Grigorov , seconded by Mr . James Baker :
RESOLVED , that the Town of Ithaca Planning Board , in its
capacity as Sign Review Board , recommend and hereby does recommend
to the Zoning Board of Appeals approval of a 132 sq . ft . sign ,
reading " knitting machines . . . etc . " , to be located on the front
facade of the former " Bud ' s Red & White " , 903 Mitchell Street .
There being no further discussion , the Chair called for a
vote .
Aye - May , Langhans , Klein , Schultz , Stanton , Baker , Grigorov ,
Mazza .
Nay - None .
• The MOTION was declared to be carried unanimously .
Mr . Cartee thanked the Board for their time and attention to
this matter .
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD REPRESENTATIVE TO THE COUNTY PLANNING
BOARD - CAROLYN GRIGOROV .
Mrs . Grigorov reported on the April 11 , 1984 meeting of the
CPB , stating that there is a very interesting , very nice , built - up ,
three - dimensional physical model showing the Route 13 alternatives
B - 1 and B - 2 [ A and B ] and is on display at the County Planning
Department offices at 128 East Buffalo Street ,
Mrs . Grigorov reported that the so - called " improvements " to
Route 79 ( Slaterville Road ) as proposed by NYSDOT are causing great
distress to the landowners . Chairman May stated that he was well
aware of this distressful situation since he is one of those
landowners and stands to lose several sugar maple trees over one
hundred years old . Chairman May stated that there is to be a
meeting at the Bethel Grove Community Center on May 24th , with
several interested parties in attendance , such as Assemblyman
MacNeil and the new regional director [ Region 3 ] for NYSDOT ,
Richard Simberg . Chairman May stated that the State is claiming
that the road right of way is 66 feet wide ( 4 rods ) . The Board
members expressed their concern for the residents , commenting that
the proposal seems to have been expanded from drainage and ditch
improvements to a much larger project . Chairman May commented that
Planning Board 6 May 1 , 1984
the State has indicated that , since no Federal Funds are involved ,
no SEQR review is necessary . Chairman May stated that he has
written , personally , challenging that .
Mrs . Grigorov stated that the main discussion item at this
meeting was the matter of Wetlands , noting the definition of what
constitutes a " wetland " -- " . . . lands and waters which contain
aquatic or semi - aquatic vegetation such as wetland trees ; shrubs ,
emergent vegetation ; rooted , floating - leaved vegetation ;
free - floating vegetation , wet meadow vegetation , bog mat ; and
submergent vegetation , and have an area of at least 12 . 4 acres
( approximately 5 hectares ) or , if smaller , have unusual local
importance as determined by the Commissioner of the Department of
Environmental Conservation . " [ From the State Freshwater Wetlands
Law . ] Mrs . Grigorov commented that it is more of an education law
than a tough law regulating use of land , adding that certain plant
life has to be there . Mrs . Grigorov noted that there are certain
activities which could be carried on in regulated wetland without
requiring a permit , however , most require a State permit with
compelling reasons having to be shown for development .
Chairman May thanked Mrs . Grigorov for her report .
ADJOURNED PUBLIC HEARING ( FROM APRIL 17 , 1984 ) : CONSIDERATION OF
PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION APPROVAL FOR A 4 - LOT SUBDIVISION ON
RIDGECREST ROAD , BACKLOT OF 108 RIDGECREST ROAD INCLUDING , A
. PORTION OF TOWN OF ITHACA TAX PARCEL NO . 6 - 45 - 1 - 2 . 2 ( 16 . 74 ACRES ) ,
PARCEL NO . 6 - 45 - 1 - 5 , AND PARCEL NO . 6 - 45 - 1 - 3 . GRACE CASCIOLI ,
OWNER ; ROBERT A . BOEHLECKE , JR . , ARCHITECT .
Chairman May declared the Adjourned Public Hearing in the
above - noted matter duly opened at 8 : 20 p . m . and asked Mr . Boehlecke
if he had anything to add to what was discussed at the April 17th
meeting . Mr . Boehlecke stated that he had no new information .
Mr . Lovi noted that each of the Board members had received ,
with his / her Agenda , a copy of a group of purchase offers which
indicate that both Mrs . Cascioli and Mr . Franciamone had made
offers to purchase the triangular parcel , some 4 acres , which
fronts on East King Road , Mr . Lovi stated that it was his
understanding the Mr . Franciamone is still trying to contact Mr .
Paul Erdman , the reputed owner . Mr . Lovi pointed out that , really
through no one ' s fault , there is very little possibility for use of
the back acreage along Ridgecrest Road because of the strip
development years ago . Mr . Lovi commented that with the proposal
of the owner to tear down or relocate the house at 104 Ridgecrest
Road ( Parcel No . 6 - 45 - 1 - 3 ) , that area appears to be the only spot
for a road given the difficulty of obtaining land for access on to
East King Road . Mr . Lovi stated that , speaking off the top of his
head , he would toss out for discussion the thought of condemning a
spot for such an access in an appropriate place , something akin to
• obtaining a sewer easement from an uncooperative landowner .
Planning Board 7 May 1 , 1984
• Chairman May stated that Mr . Lovi had raised a very valid
point , however , his only concern is whether these purchase offers
which the owner has submitted to the Board for its consideration
have validity , the question is , were these valid offers . Mrs .
Langhans stated that she thought the offers were really quite low
for over 4 acres of land .
Mrs . Langhans stated that the ad hoc committee went up to the
site and only Mr . Stanton and Mr . Franciamone were there . Mr . Lovi
apologized for being unable to make it , explaining that he become
involved with discussions about the Dormitory Authority SEQR matter
until well after 4 : 30 p . m . that afternoon [ April 23rd ] . Mr .
Stanton stated that Mr . Franciamone stayed in his truck and he and
Mrs . Langhans walked the entire area , including the " gravel
roadway " down into the back acreage , in the rain . Mr . Stanton
stated that one thing that was quite impressive was that the land
is relatively flat . Mr . Stanton stated that he , too , did not think
that the documents submitted represent a really good faith effort
to obtain this four - acre parcel . Mr . Stanton stated that the front
yard of the first house , 108 Ridgecrest Road , is essentially a
parking lot . Mr . Stanton commented that Mr . Franciamone was pretty
clear , with respect to the empty house on the newly purchased
parcel , 104 Ridgecrest Road , that the intent is to move that house
back . Mr . Stanton stated that it seemed to him that a road through
that lot which has been purchased and which is very close to the
corner of Ridgecrest and East King Roads would be , still , a better
alternative than what we have already denied which is a road right
alongside those two buildings , 108 and 1082 Ridgecrest Road , and
which is just gravel going back to the back land . Mrs . Langhans
pointed out that if the back acreage were developed the proposed
road would be very close to East King Road . Mr . Stanton commented
that the intersection at Community Corners is no better , nor would
it be as bad as that in East Ithaca in the area of Judd Falls Road .
Mr . Mazza commented that just because there are a lot worse road
problems does not mean that the Board wants to create another one .
Mr . Stanton pointed out that the owner appears to be prepared to
move or remove the house near the corner and stated that he was not
as opposed at this time as he was earlier . Mr . Mazza stated that
he still feels the same , adding that , in his opinion , they have not
made a good faith effort to purchase the land .
Chairman May asked if there were anyone present who wished to
speak to the matter of the Cascioli subdivision proposal . No one
spoke .
Chairman May asked Mr . Boehlecke where he thought the owner
stood now . Mr . Boehlecke stated that he was asked to report to the
owner what action the Board took this evening and to answer any
questions he was able to answer . Mr . Boehlecke stated that he did
not know where the owner stands at this moment . Mr . Lovi stated
that he thought a further adjournment of this hearing to be
appropriate , with the Board asking for another good faith effort
which could be shown to the Board not necessarily just for the
purchase of the whole triangular piece but perhaps for a right of
Planning Board 8 May 1 , 1984
• way . Chairman May stated that he would go along with one more
adjournment with the understanding that the owner make a good faith
offer specifically for the purchase of the 4 . 35 acre parcel , and ,
an alternative offer to purchase a right of way through that
parcel , together with two appraisals of either the entire piece of
4 . 35 acres or a 60 - foot right of way as an access road into the
property off East King Road . Mr . Mazza commented to Mr . Boehlecke
that it should be clear that , by the submission of such
documentation , approval should not to be assumed .
MOTION by Mr . Edward Mazza , seconded by Mrs . Virginia
Langhans :
RESOLVED , by the Planning Board of the Town of Ithaca , that
the Adjourned Public Hearing in the matter of the Cascioli
subdivision request be and hereby is further adjourned until June
5 , 1984 , at 7 : 45 p . m .

vote .

PUBLIC HEARING : CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION APPROVAL
FOR A 2 - LOT SUBDIVISION AT 621 ELM STREET EXTENSION , TOWN OF ITHACA
TAX PARCEL NO . 6 - 29 - 8 . 5 . 1 , 5 . 2 ACRES . KIRK C . SAPA , OWNER ,
Chairman May declared the Public Hearing in the above - noted
matter duly opened at 8 : 50 p . m .
Mr . Kirk Sapa appeared before the Board and stated that he
wished to divide his parcel of 5 . 2 acres into two lots , one of
approximately 3 . 2 acres upon which his home is located , and one of
approximately 2 acres of vacant land upon which he will be building
in the future .
The Board members discussed Mr . Sapa ' s plot plan with Mr .
Sapa , inquiring about the small box shown on the proposed parcel
which contains Mr . Sapa ' s home . Mr . Sapa stated that that is shown
because it is to be his garage . Mr . Stanton wondered if access to
the newly - created , smaller , lot would , or could , be from Coy Glen
Road where there is 100 feet of frontage . Mr . Sapa stated that
that could be done , although the terrain is difficult . Mr . Sapa
explained that many years ago , some 25 years ago , this land was
• supposed to be a subdivision and the 472 feet of frontage on Elm
Street Extension was supposed to be a road , but it was never
4 .
Planning Board 9 May 1 , 1984
developed , however , it is fairly flat . The Board members agreed
that Mr . Sapa ' s parcel does have a very peculiar shape .
Chairman May inquired of Mr . Lovi if it would not be better to
let the Zoning Board of Appeals look at the EAF . Mr . Lovi stated
that he did not think so , adding that he had suggested going from
the Planning Board to the Zoning Board feeling that the matter is
more of a subdivision than a variance . Mr . Lovi stated that the
Planning Board really has had more time and experience looking at
subdivisions . Mr . Mazza stated that he felt that the purpose of
the 'Zoning Ordinance would not be served by requiring the 100 - foot
frontage for these two particular proposed lots given the strange
configuration of the original 5 . 2 acre parcel . Mr . Mazza asked Mr .
Sapa if the Board were to approve this subdivision with the
stipulation that no further subdivision be permitted , would that be
acceptable . Mr . Sapa stated that it was acceptable .
Chairman May asked if there were anyone present who wished to
speak to the matter of the Sapa Subdivision . No one spoke , the
only persons present at this point being the members of the media .
Turning to review of the EAF ( Short Form ) as signed and
submitted by Kirk C . Sapa , under date of April 18 , 1984 , Chairman
May noted that all questions had been answered " no " , and Mr . Lovi
had reviewed the EAF , under date of April 26 , 1984 , making the
following recommendation : " This minor subdivision will not present
• any significant environmental impacts . The subdivider ' s plan will
only provide 50 feet of road frontage for lot 29 - 8 - 5 . 1 and ' new '
lot 29 - 8 - ' ? 1 ; however , there will be in excess of 2 acres for the
smaller , and 3 . 2 acres for the larger lot . The driveway for the
existing house presently uses the 50 ' frontage to the west of the
parcel . A similar driveway would access the proposed house on the
second lot . A variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals will be
necessary in order to permit the subdivision of a lot with
substandard frontage . II recommend a negative declaration of
environmental significance as follows : . . . "
MOTION by Mr . Edward Mazza , seconded by Mr . Bernard Stanton *
RESOLVED , that the Town of Ithaca Planning Board , acting as
lead agency in the environmental review of the proposed 2 - lot
subdivision development at 621 Elm Street Extension , Town of Ithaca
Tax Parcel No . 6 - 29 - 8 - 5 . 1 , 5 . 2 acres , approve and hereby does
approve the Environmental Assessment Short Form as completed , and
FURTHER RESOLVED , that , pursuant to Town of Ithaca Local Law
No . 3 - 1980 , this action is classified as Unlisted , and
FURTHER RESOLVED , that the Town of Ithaca Planning Board has
determined from the Environmental Assessment Short Form and all
pertinent information that the above -mentioned action will not
significantly impact the environment and , therefore , will not
require further environmental review .

The Planning Board members each had received with his / her
Agenda a copy of a draft resolution for their consideration , as
prepared by Mr . Lovi , with respect to the proposed Sapa
subdivision . Mr . Lovi noted that the proposed resolution really
has three parts , being ( 1 ) preliminary subdivision approval , ( 2 )
recommendation to the Zoning Board , and ( 3 ) the waiving of final
approval . Mr . Mazza suggested a change in the first part of
proposed item # 3 with respct to the Board ' s preference for no
further subdivision of this land .

RESOLVED , that concerning the proposal of Kirk C . Sapa to

Extension , subject to the restriction that no further subdivision
of these lands be permitted .
Planning Board 11 May 1 , 1984
