CORNELL UNIVERSITY , • APPLICANT / OWNER ; HENRY E . DONEY , UTILITIES DEPARTMENT , AGENT . - Chairman . May declared the Public Hearing in the above - noted matter duly opened at 7 : 30 p . m . and read aloud from the Notice of Public Hearings as posted and published and as noted above . T Planning Board - 2 - August 16 , 1988 M1 Mr . John Kiefer of the Facilities Engineering Department at Cornell University approached the Board , and appended maps to the bulletin board . Mr . Kiefer stated that the purpose of the project is to increase the capacity of the electricial system that services the University , adding , in that respect it would change the University service voltage from 13 , 200 volts to 115 , 000 volts . Mr . Kiefer offered that the way Cornell intends to do that is to tap into the 115 KV lines that currently serve the existing NYSEG substation . At this point , Mr . Kiefer distributed photographs of substations that are identical to the Cornell facility . Mr . Kiefer , pointing to map , noted that the University would construct a new substation " here " . Mr . Kiefer indicated on the map where Maple Avenue was located , the Cornell campus over in " this " area ; the Cornell Heating Plant located " here " . Mr . Kiefer offered that NYSEG ' s facility is located " here " , and the proposed Cornell project is located " here " , fairly close to the coal pile [ indicating ] . Chairman May noted that the Environmental Assessment Form states that no buildings would be built . Mr . Kiefer responded that Cornell does not intend to build a building like one would typically think of at Cornell , adding that the low side equipment comes inside of a metal housing . Carolyn Grigorov wondered if it would be pretty well invisible from Maple Avenue and Route 366 , with Mr . Kiefer answering , one will not be able to see it as it would be down the hill from there . Mr . Kiefer offered that the building would sort of • sit in a hollow , commenting that the only place one could get a good look at it would be from up on Kite Hill , David Klein inquired as to whether it could be seen from Route 366 , with Mr . Kiefer responding , no , he did not think so , because the trees that are on either side of the old railroad access would hide it . Assistant Town Planner George Frantz stated that his sense on the field inspection was that it would not be visible from Route 366 , due to being behind the Central Heating Plant , and the existing Chilled Water Plant , as well as the brush area to the east of the Heating Plant , along Route 366 , Robert Kenerson wondered about the projection on the future capacity of the project . Mr . Kiefer responded that it was Cornell ' s intent to install capacity , at this time , that would serve the University for 10 - 15 years , at which point a third transformer would be added on the same site . Mr . Kiefer remarked that the fenced - in area would be large enough to contain a third unit , commenting , after the addition of a third unit , it would probably be 25 years before having to do something else . Chairman May noted that this was a Public Hearing and asked if anyone present wished to speak . No one spoke . Chairman May closed the Public Hearing at 7 : 40 and brought the matter back to the Board for discussion . Chairman May noted that there was a recommendation to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a negative determination of environmental significance . There appearing to be no further discussion , Chairman May asked if anyone were prepared to make a motion . r s ' Planning Board - 3 - August 16 , 1988 • MOTION by Mr .

PUBLIC HEARING : CONSIDERATION OF FINAL SUBDIVISION APPROVAL FOR THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OF TOWN OF ITHACA TAX PARCEL NO . 6 - 44 - 1 - 4 . 31 , LOCATED ON EAST KING ROAD , MULTIPLE RESIDENCE DISTRICT , INTO TWO PARCELS OF 23 . 1 ± ACRES AND 4 . 8 ± ACRES EACH , AND FURTHER , CONSIDERATION OF FINAL SITE PLAN AND SUBDIVISION APPROVAL FOR PHASE I OF " BUTTERFIELD CLUSTER SUBDIVISION " , SUCH PHASE I FINAL PLAN PROPOSED TO CONSIST OF 20 PAIRED DWELLING UNITS , WITH PHASES I AND II HAVING BEEN GRANTED PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN AND SUBDIVISION APPROVAL BY THE PLANNING BOARD ON APRIL 9 , 1988 FOR A TOTAL OF 48 PHASED DWELLING UNITS . PHASE I IS PROPOSED TO BE LOCATED ON A 5 . 82 ACRE PORTION OF THE LARGER PARCEL PROPOSED TO BE SUBDIVIDED ABOVE , BUTTERFIELD ASSOCIATES , APPLICANT . Mr . David C . Auble , owner of the property , and partner in ButterField Associates addressed the Board . Mr . Auble indicated that maps were being appended to the bulletin board . At this point , Mr . Auble gave a brief history of the project . Mr . Auble stated that , at one point , prior to ButterField Associates purchasing the project , the site was zoned for 119 rental units , and upon ButterField Associates acquiring the property it was redesigned to a different building type , same number of units , same concept of rental , adding that approval was obtained for a set of eight - plex buildings . Continuing , Mr . Auble said that the complex was then redesigned with the idea of going to a " For Sale " type of development , and it was looked at from the standpoint of the row townhouse , which would be four to six - plex type buildings . Mr . Auble commented , after looking at some of the neighboring buildings on the Deer Run project , they decided to go with a different project , and decided that the clustered type home , kind of a single family attached , two homes per building , and attached by a garage , would be a better concept . Mr . Auble stated that through these redesigns , they felt that they have come out with a much better type of home . Mr . Auble stated that the homes have been sited so that each home has a nice view , and there would be a fair amount of open space between the units . Mr . Auble added that the project is considerably under the density originally zoned for on said site , and felt that going from rental to individual ownership of the homes was an advantage for the surrounding neighborhood , and noted that the units have been upgraded to a considerable extent . Mr . Auble stated that they are looking at two and three bedroom units that would provide a variety of housing , adding , there are some units that are one floor for the family that would prefer to have single floor type living . Mr . Auble stated that there are other units with the two - story , but with a bedroom on the first floor , and two bedrooms on the second floor . Mr . Auble stated that the other units would have three bedrooms on the second floor , commenting , they are all at least two bath units . Mr . Auble stated that the price range , as they keep looking at the cost factors in trying to add on what is needed as a return on the investment , are running in the $ 1301000 . 00 - $ 145 , 000 . 00 range , and noted othat the houses are getting substantially more costly as more land is used per building , commenting that he thought that would influence the type of buyer , adding , for the neighboring community that is a bit of an advantage . ' Planning Board - 5 - August 16 , 1988 • Mr . Auble offered that from a marketing standpoint it would be a bigger effort on their part , and a bigger risk , as far as investment . At this point , Mr . Auble introduced the construction manager , Mr . Ralph Ditucci , and noted that Mr . Ditucci would be available to answer any technical questions on the construction , along with George Schlecht , Engineer for the project . Chairman May noted that this was a Public Hearing and asked if there were anyone from the public who had any comments or questions . John Whitcomb of 233 Troy Road addressed the Board and read from a prepared statement , which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 . There appearing to be no one else from the public who wished to speak to this matter , Chairman May closed the Public Hearing at 7 : 51 p . m . and brought the matter back to the Board for discussion . David Klein stated that his major concern was that , although the site plan was drawn on a topographic map with contours , none of the proposed grading has been shown at all , for instance , around the buildings on the landscape drawing , the contours have sort of been erased , commenting that he was concerned with the slope of the site , and what looked to be , in some cases , a natural grade difference on the first unit of almost 12 feet from one end to the other . Mr . Klein stated that he was concerned about how the • developer plans to handle the grading , because he felt that this was a major issue . Town Planner Susan Beeners responded that the finished floor elevations were given on the engineering plan . Ms . Beeners stated that the Town Engineer , Robert Flumerfelt , did review the plans before leaving on vacation , and was satisfied , except for the request that he and Town Highway Superintendent John Ozolins be able to further review the specifications for drainage and roadway improvements . Mr . Klein wondered about the grade difference on Building # 1 , with Mr . Schlecht responding that , besides the finished floor elevation , there were spot elevations provided on the engineering portion of the plan . Mr . Schlecht offered that they may not have appeared in the reproduction process because they were done lightly , and noted that the reason it was done that way was because the developer wanted to , hopefully , fine tune the finished floor elevations , perhaps by as much as six inches . Mr . Klein asked if some of the units had basements . Mr . Schlecht answered that all the units are intended to have basements under the living units . Mr . Klein wondered if there were any situation where a substantial amount of the basement was above grade , with Mr . Schlecht offering that several of the units along the north side would have walkout type basements , adding , the grades on the other units are as shown . Mr . Klein wondered if any of the roads were greater than 10 % , with Mr . Schlecht responding , no . Mr . Klein wondered about the height of the buildings . Mr . Auble stated that the building heights were kept in mind , and would conform to regulations . Mr . Schlecht said that the building height was 28 feet . Ms . Beeners noted that the current definition for Multiple Residence buildings is that all structures shall conform in height with other structures in the vicinity , provided , however , that no structure shall exceed two stories on * the roadside . Ms . Beeners offered that with the walkout basement the structure would probably be 32 - 34 feet in height . Mr . Klein commented that the Board is not looking at this project as Cluster , but as ' Planning Board - 6 - August 16 , 1988 Multiple . Mr . Schlecht stated that there was an extensive amount of consideration given to the placing of the elevations of the roads , storm drainage , sewer lines , and the finished floor elevations , and particularly considering all the factors , one of the prime concerns the developer had from an engineering standpoint was the concern expressed by Cornell as well , in relationship to their natural area , was to attempt to keep the infrastructure , particularly the sewer and water lines , to the extent possible , out of the rock . Mr . Schlecht stated that there would be concrete gutters alongside the road , which would eliminate big ditches . Mr . Klein wondered if the private drives would be blacktop or gravel , with Mr . Sch.lecht responding , they will be oil and stone . Mr . Klein inquired about the trash pickup . Mr . Auble answered that the project is designed for individual private trash pickup , and would be part of the Homeowners ' Association contract . There appearing to be no further discussion or comments from the Board , Chairman May asked if anyone were prepared to offer a motion . MOTION by Mrs . Carolyn Grigorov , seconded by Mr . Robert Kenerson : WHEREAS : 1 .

There appearing to be no one else from the public who wished to speak to this matter , Chairman May closed the Public Hearing at 8 : 21 p . m . and brought the matter back to the Board for discussion . David Klein commented , in case that parcel was not conveyed to Longhouse , then the Planning Board has , in fact , subdivided a potentially landlocked parcel . Mr .

PAUL JACOBS , OWNER . Chairman May declared the Public Hearing in the above - noted matter duly opened at 8 : 34 p . m . and read aloud from the Notice of Public Hearings as posted and published and as noted above . Mr . William Albern addressed the Board and stated that , basically , Mr . Jacobs is asking that the Board consider a mobile home as a mobile home . Mr . * Albern offered that mobile homes are made to be mobile , they move from this site to that site as people change positions and jobs , adding , there are ,single -wide and double -wide mobile homes . Continuing , Mr . Albern stated that Planning Board - 10 - August 16 , 1988 • the original site plan , which was developed two years ago showed what was indicated to be some single -wides and some double -wides . Mr . Albern stated that the owner , during construction , worked with the Tompkins County Health Department and arranged for an additional septic system to handle the Tompkins County Code . Mr . Albern commented that the Tompkins County Code has a different waste criteria for double -wides than it does for single -wides , even though a single -wide can have more bedrooms than a double -wide . Mr . Albern stated that Mr . Jacobs is seeking to have the Town not differentiate between a double -wide and a single -wide , and as far as the water and septic systems are concerned , allow the Tompkins County Health Department to control that facet of the development . Chairman May noted that this was a Public Hearing and asked if anyone present wished to speak . No one spoke . Chairman May closed the Public Hearing at 8 : 36 p . m . and brought the matter back to the Board for discussion . Robert Miller wondered where trailer No . 14 was located . Mr . Albern responded that mobile home No . 14 was located just north of what was the original development , and noted that it was on the mobile home site . Mr . Albern offered that the typical dimension on a single -wide is 14 ' X 70 ' , although they go to 76 feet , adding that a typical dimension on a double -wide is 26 ' X 48 ' or 26 ' X 50 ' . Chairman May stated he noticed that a single -wide looks like a trailer , whereas a double -wide really does not . Town Planner Susan Beeners referred to a letter addressed to Mr . Paul • Jacobs , from Richard Ewald of the Tompkins County Department of Health , dated May 20 , 1988 . [ Letter attached hereto as Exhibit 2 . ] Ms . Beeners noted that a total of 28 double -wides and four single -wides were approved to be accommodated with the septic systems in the new portion of the park , adding , four double -wides were also approved in the existing park . Ms . Beeners , directing her question to Mr . Albern , wondered if Mr . Ewald had given any indication that Mr . Jacobs would be able to have the additional double -wides in the new park . Mr . Albern responded that he had no formal indication from Mr . Ewald on that , but noted that the Health Department would not allow them if they did not meet the septic system requirements . Mr . Albern again stated that Mr . Jacobs is seeking to have the Town not differentiate between single and doubles , and let the Health Department control the septic and water system demands . Ms . Beeners wondered if it would be possible to have a water metering system installed . Mr . Albern stated that a meter is planned for the system , but is not in as yet . Mr . Albern noted that for the Board ' s information the average population in the park , at the present time , is 1 . 7 people per mobile home . Mr . Albern stated that Mr . Jacobs is catering to a no - children population , which of course puts less demand on septic systems . Robert Miller wondered if the double -wides would be owned by Mr . Jacobs , and leased out , or do the people bring them in . Mr . Albern responded that people are purchasing the mobile homes and placing them on the lot , adding that the lot is leased from Mr . Jacobs . Ms . Beeners noted it had been requested by a tenant in No . 15 , as well leas by Mr . Jacobs , that the time period for creating the 30 - foot buffer along Seven Mile Drive be extended from July 1988 until July 1991 . Ms . Beeners ' Planning Board - 11 - August 16 , 1988 • stated that it should also be noted that the number of homes in the existing park has been reduced to 20 . Mr . Albern offered that mobile home No . 15 does not itself encroach on the buffer zone , commenting , there is a little porch addition to No . 15 which is the encroachment . There appearing to be no further discussion or comments from the Board , Chairman May asked if anyone were prepared to offer a motion . MOTION by Mr . Robert Kenerson , seconded by Mrs . Carolyn Grigorov : WHEREAS : 1 . This action is the Consideration of Site Plan Approval for a proposed revised site plan for College View Park , located in a Mobile Home Park District on Seven Mile Drive , on Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No . 6 - 33 - 2 - 2 and on a portion of Parcel No . 6 - 33 - 2 - 1 . 2 . 2 . This is a Type I action for which the Town Board , acting as Lead Agency for environmental review with respect to the rezoning and overall development of the Park , made , on March 1 , 1987 , a negative determination of environmental significance , based on the mitigating measures included in that action . The Town of Ithaca Planning Board is acting as Lead Agency for environmental review of the revised site plan . The Tompkins County Health Department is an involved agency which is being informed of this action . 3 . The Town Planner has recommended that a negative determination of environmental significance be made for the proposed revisions to the site plan . THEREFORE , IT IS RESOLVED : That the Town of Ithaca Planning Board , acting as Lead Agency for environmental review , make and hereby does make a negative determination of environmental significance for this action . There being no further discussion , the Chair called for a vote . Aye - May , Baker , Grigorov , Klein , Kenerson , Miller . Nay - None . The MOTION was declared to be carried unanimously . At this time , David Klein asked about the garages . Mr . Albern stated that there were two garages in the original drawings . Mr . Albern stated that , basically , the garages are a little bit of a problem , adding that the garages became feasible because of the double - wides , in lieu of the single -wides , because the double -wides are shorter and take less space . Mr . Albern commented that there is room for garages on the larger lots . Mr . Albern noted that the irony of the situation is that the garage is being built by the owner of the mobile home , not by the park , commenting , the • mobile home owner who has a mobile home is building a permanent piece of property on land he does not own .

PUBLIC HEARING : CONSIDERATION OF SUBDIVISION APPROVAL FOR THE PROPOSED CLUSTERED SUBDIVISION OF TOWN OF ITHACA TAX PARCEL NO . 6 - 22 - 1 - 1 . 2 , 19 . 2 ± ACRES TOTAL , LOCATED ON DUBOIS ROAD OPPOSITE ORCHARD HILL ROAD , RESIDENCE DISTRICT R- 30 , INTO 11 LOTS PLUS OPEN SPACE FOR TRAIL PURPOSES , WITH SUCH LOTS RANGING FROM 30 , 000 TO 105 , 000 SQUARE FEET AND BEING FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES , KEN POYER , APPLICANT . Chairman May declared the Public Hearing in the above - noted matter duly opened at 8 : 55 p . m . and read aloud from the Notice of Public Hearings as posted and published and as noted above . Mr . Peter Trowbridge , Landscape Architect for the project , addressed the Board and appended maps to the bulletin board . Mr . Trowbridge stated that Mr . Poyer is a local builder , and is looking at this particular parcel as a location that he might begin to build houses , perhaps later this year . Mr . Trowbridge stated that there are ten lots grouped around a cul de sac , with the eleventh lot quite large . Mr . Trowbridge noted that all of the lots are larger than the minimum 30 , 000 sq . feet requirment , some being much larger , up to almost 2 - 1 / 2 acres . Mr . Trowbridge stated that Mr . Poyer is looking at a series of high quality homes • on a short 600 - foot cul de sac , relatively private , family - oriented affordable housing . Mr . Trowbridge offered that the project is relatively small as projects go . Mr . Trowbridge noted that there are natural buffers that exist both on the north and the south side of the proposed cul de sac , against the Jewell and the Jordan properties . Mr . Trowbridge said that the utility and site improvements have been reviewed with the Town Engineer , and NYSEG . Mr . Trowbridge commented that there is a 100 ' NYSEG right -of -way that cuts through the parcel . Mr . Trowbridge stated that the additional run-off is easily accommodated in the roadside ditch and 30 " culvert that passes under DuBois Road , Mr . Trowbridge offered that this is a project that is very consistent with the surrounding neighborhood . Mr . Poyer stated that the lots would be at least one acre lots . Mr . Poyer stated that he is a builder / developer and would be constructing the houses , adding that it would be 2 - 3 years before the project was completed . Chairman May noted that this was a Public Hearing and asked if there were anyone from the public who had any comments or questions . Town Board Member Patricia Leary spoke from the floor and asked if Mr . Poyer could be more specific as to what is meant by affordable . Mr . Poyer responded that he had not really put a figure on it , but was looking at the $ 150 , 000 . 00 range . Ray Small of 214 Snyder Hill Road spoke from the floor and stated that he owns a piece of property on the corner of DuBois Road and Orchard Hill Road . Mr . Small wondered if the $ 150 , 000 . 00 was for a house or a lot . Mr . Trowbridge answered that that price would be for a combined total . Planning Board - 14 - August 16 , 1988 There appearing to be no one else from the public who wished to speak to this matter , Chairman May closed the Public Hearing at 9 : 01 p . m . and brought the matter back to the Board for discussion . Robert Kenerson wondered if the proposed development would hook up to the sewer line that is being run up DuBois Road , with Mr . Trowbridge responding , yes . Mr . Trowbridge offered that the water is at DuBois Road and there is a manhole just north , directly adjacent to Mr . Jordan ' s driveway , and noted that the sewer would be connected to that manhole . David Klein wondered if this were really a clustered subdivision . Town Planner Susan Beeners noted that she saw it as meeting the requirements for a clustered subdivision , noting that there were a number of unusual things about the property , which Ms . Beeners thought made it suitable to consider it that way , even thought it is large lot conventional lot development . Ms . Beeners noted that , as far as cluster is concerned , there is a drawback as far as use for Town road development of the right - of - way shown in the southern part . Mr . Beeners mentioned that , while Lot # 11 , as proposed in the alternate scheme to clustered plat , under no circumstances would it have enough frontage to qualify , as it only has 121 feet of frontage and would never be able to qualify as a conventional building lot . Ms . Beeners offered that it was proposed that a good amount of open space , including existing vegetation , be proposed , because the lots are very generous for the zoning that is permitted . Ms . Beeners stated that she had recommended that two schemes be submitted , one showing a conventional scheme , and the other showing what could be done if there were certain waivers of some zoning • requirments under cluster . Mr . Trowbridge stated that , unlike other cluster plans that the Planning Board might have considered , the proposed development is a fairly traditional looking cul de sac . David Klein wondered about the intent concerning the right - of -way access that borders the Bacon property . Mr . Trowbridge responded that there is a right -of - way that abuts the Bacon property that currently exists , adding , that was done prior to any involvement by Mr . Poyer , Mr . Trowbridge stated that he thought the concern was that Lot # 11 and the right - of-way are so close to the Orchard Hill intersection that neither one of them would probably " be acceptable as road cuts . Mr . Poyer stated that he , personally , would build a house on Lot # 11 for his family . David Klein commented that lots that are that deep are not , in a sense , all that usable . Mr . Trowbridge , commenting on the large lot , stated that the 100 - foot NYSEG right - of -way cuts off the back of that lot , and effectively , that lot is much shorter than it appears . Robert Kenerson wondered about the length of the cul de sac . Mr . Trowbridge responded that it was just a little over 600 feet . Ms . Beeners noted that the Board received the aerial photo showing the Poyer property in relation to other properties , adding that the Planning Board may require the provision for access into adjacent lands that have not been currently subdivided . Ms . Beeners suggested that a 60 - foot right - of -way Wfheor possible future road extension be brought off the cul de sac , roughly in vicinity of the Page and Gombas boundary . Mr . Trowbridge stated that , at this point , it is a concern of the developer about providing that future Planning Board - 15 - August 16 , 1988 • reservation and the ambiguity it suggests for the proposed development . Mr . Poyer commented that Lots 7 , 8 , 9 , and 10 would be hurt , as there would be more traffic generated . Chairman May stated that he had a concern with looking at the proposal as cluster , and commented that he felt a site plan was needed . Ms . Beeners responded that the Board can require additional information on a final plat , as far as building set - backs and statements from the applicant , and as far as what types of buildings are going to be constructed . Mr . Trowbridge remarked that a conventional subdivision , even with the waiver of set -backs from Orchard Hill Road , the price of houses would have to go up enormously because the infrastructure costs would be 2 - 1 / 2 times more , commenting that the wisdom of the cluster is to allow Lot # 11 to stay as it is configured and shown . There appearing to be no further discussion or comments from the Board , Chairman May asked if anyone were prepared to offer a motion . MOTION by Mrs . Carolyn Grigorov , seconded by Mr .

PUBLIC HEARING : CONSIDERATION OF SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE PROPOSED " IDES BOWLING LANES REDEVELOPMENT " , PROPOSED TO BE LOCATED IN A BUSINESS " C " DISTRICT ON JUDD FALLS ROAD AND MITCHELL STREET ON TOWN OF ITHACA TAX PARCELS NO . 6 - 62 - 1 - 1 , - 2 . 1 , - 2 . 2 , and 3 . 2 , AND PROPOSED TO CONSIST OF 36 , 900 ± SQUARE iFEET OF NEW RETAIL AND OFFICE SPACE IN A PROPOSED ADDITION TO THE EXISTING IDES BOWLING LANES BUILDING AND IN A PROPOSED NEW BUILDING . SCOTT AND SUE HAMILTON , OWNERS / APPLICANTS . Chairman May declared the Public Hearing in the above - noted matter duly opened at 9 : 56 p . m . and read aloud from the Notice of Public Hearings as posted and published and as noted above . Mr . George Hascup , Architect for the project , addressed the Board and appended maps to the bulletin board . Mr . Hascup briefly outlined the scope of the project . Mr . Hascup stated that the Hamiltons are very much interested in building a quality development . Mr . Hascup stated that the developers are proposing a frontal building on the Judd Falls roadside that would cover up the existing facade of Ides Lanes , and noted that the general strategy is to place a major focus of parking at the center of the site , thereby removing a lot of the parking from the perimeter . Mr . Hascup stated that there would be a new commercial office building on the Mitchell Street side , adding that the building would screen the property from the parking . Chairman May noted that this was a Public Hearing and asked if anyone present wished to speak . No one spoke . Chairman May closed the Public Hearing at 9 : 59 p . m . and brought the matter back to the Board for discussion . Chairman May stated that he felt the biggest concern the Board has , at the moment , is traffic . Assistant Town Planner George Frantz noted that the traffic capacity on Judd Falls Road , at the present time , is ± 850 . Carolyn Planning Board - 18 - August 16 , 1988 Grigorov asked about the Cornell Quarters traffic impact . Mr . Frantz responded that the impact of Cornell Quarters on the intersection was relatively small , adding that much of the traffic was to the west on Maple Avenue , Mrs . Grigorov wondered about the impact if the realignment of Pine Tree Road ever took place . Mr . Frantz answered that he did not see subject project having any impact on that , adding , if that alignment were to ever come about it would be a significant improvement to the Judd Falls Road area simply because it would take all the thru traffic off Judd Falls Road . Mr . Frantz noted that vehicles going from Route 79 to Route 366 and beyond , or from Route 366 to Route 79 would be removed from the area . Mr . Frantz noted that the present rate of traffic is 13 , 000 vehicles per day . Mr . Hascup stated that when he was doing a review of the traffic impact on subject project he spoke with several local engineers and planners , and one of them was Larry Fabbroni , P . E . Mr . Hascup stated that Mr . Fabbroni was familiar with the intersection and familiar with some of the traffic counts that had been done , and his comments were that it was very difficult to say - this road has such and such a capacity , because it is an interpretive thing with respect to widths of shoulders and widths of lanes , etc . Mr . Hascup added that Mr . Fabbroni felt , actually , the capacity of that road was very similar to a two - lane section of Triphammer Road , which is right now , carrying 14 , 000 vehicles per day . Mr . Hascup commented that he had a discussion with Mr . Frantz , and noted that in using the 13 , 000 vehicles per day , he did not feel that it was at capacity , at this point , in terms of design with the NYS Dept . of Transportation standards . Mr . Frantz commented that he had consulted with the Tompkins County Planning Department , and they are not sure what the exact icapacity is , and they are concerned about potential congestion , but they were not ready to say that subject project was going to overload the road system in the area . Town Planner Susan Beeners stated that it is in process , as new tools are gained , especially with the Richardson Transportation Study , the design of a north / south series of connectors , noting that there will be more effort put into that , especially when there is the computer modeling system , commenting that there have been discussions with people at Cornell , the County , and the Town , which indicate that there should be some giant master plan done for the entire east Ithaca area , going up into the northeast , with a Phase I development being the connection between Summerhill Road and Route 366 . Ms . Beeners offered that with respect to the proposed project it is recommended that the pedestrian safety along Mitchell Street be looked at as an immediate need , because of the Cornell Quarters population increase , proposed development , and with respect to any other new commercial development that might occur at East Hill - Plaza . Ms . Beeners stated that there were discussions with the applicant , Mr . Hamilton , and an agreement was reached that Mr . Hamilton would contribute , based on a fair share of the existing commercial and office space in the East Hill Plaza business zone , a fair share toward the completion of a sidewalk , for which there has already been a substantial contribution from Cornell . Robert Kenerson asked about the apartment complex , with Mr . Hascup responding , at this point , that is not a viable consideration . Ms . Beeners stated that this is a Type I action , as there is parking for over 100 cars . Planning Board - 19 - August 16 , 1988 Mr . Hascup offered that the new office building is a two - story building , slab on grade , approximately 24 feet in height . Ms . Beeners commented that the Courtside parking revisions would have to be approved by the Hamiltons , and added that there is a control there , as far as the parking spaces shown on the site . Mr . Frantz noted that the provisions of the mortgage for Courtside state that the Hamiltons have the right to those 20 parking spaces in front of Courtside . Ms . Beeners stated that there had been some discussion regarding possible non - conforming use alterations , and whether it would have to go to the Zoning Board of Appeals . Ms . Beeners had discussed the issue with Attorney Barney , and noted that it was Attorney Barney ' s interpretation that it would be , essentially , an improvement of an existing non - conforming use along Judd Falls Road , e . g . there would be a landscape buffer created , an actual reduction in parking at the front , some organization of the parking situation on the north side of the building , and an interior property line between Marine Midland and Ides , adding , all the above , basically , represent improvements and should not be interpreted as requiring a ZBA authorization . There appearing to be no further discussion or comments from the Board , Chairman May asked if anyone were prepared to offer a motion . MOTION by Mr . Robert Miller , seconded by Mr . James Baker : WHEREAS : • 1 .

Chairman May declared the matter of the Consideration of Site Plan Approval for the proposed " Ides Bowling Lanes Redevelopment " duly closed at 10 : 34 p . m . DISCUSSION OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR PLANNING CONSULTANT Ms . Beeners stated that the purpose of the RFP is to consider engaging a consultant for general recommendations . Ms . Beeners stated that the consultant would have to be in close * Sub -Committee contact , not only with staff , but also with the Planning Board , and a that would include members of the public . Ms . Beeners stated that the Planning Board was very important in overseeing the issue , adding that she expected that herself and Assistant Town Planner George Frantz would be able to comment as to what they thought was important . David Klein referred to the RFP draft - BACKGROUND , Recent Community Issues , Page 1 , Paragraph b . " Desire for compatibility of residential land uses , particularly with respect to balancing the need for protection of the character of established , mainly single - family neighborhoods , with the need for additional housing opportunities for low and moderate income residents . This has been a particular concern of residents of neighborhoods near Cornell University and Ithaca College . " Mr . Klein commented that one may want to be more specific that conflicts have been encountered between single - family owner - occupied neighborhoods and student housing , adding that opportunities for low and moderate income residents have been mentioned , but student housing has not been mentioned . Ms . Beeners responded that she really did not want to blame the students when there is still the need for moderate income housing . Mr . Klein remarked that he did not mean that , but meant in addition to that . Chairman May stated that it probably was just as well to say student , because there is a perception of a lot people that all student housing is bad . Mr . Klein commented on the timetable for the work being done in one or two months . Mr . Klein offered that Ms . Beeners may want to ask , as part of • the consultant ' s submittal , a proposed schedule for his work . Ms . Beeners agreed with Mr . Klein . Planning Board - 22 - August 16 , 1988 Ms . Beeners stated that representatives from GINA would be present at • the Town Board meeting on August 29 , 1988 , and would be voicing their concerns about development . Ms . Beeners stated that she would like to say , yes , the Planning Board had looked at the RFP , and discussed the basic intent of the Preliminary RFP , Robert Kenerson stated that he did not see how the Planning Board could recommend any dollar amounts , except to limit the instructions to whoever is bidding on the overview to take a look at the planning process , and things that should be done to proceed to improve . Mr . Klein offered that the consultant should provide a schedule and fee basis so that there would ' be some idea of what the range is . Town Board member Patricia Leary clarified Ms . Beeners ' statement on the working group . Ms . Leary stated that the intent , at the Town Board meeting , was that it would be a combination of representatives from the Planning Board , Town Board , ZBA , and community groups . Robert Kenerson offered that , since the proposal has been made and acted upon by the Town Board , he suggests that Ms . Beeners communicate to the Town Board that it be advertised for people to give an opinion within the outline that has been prepared , and an estimate of both time and fees be submitted . Ms . Beeners wondered about a timetable . David Klein offered that it should be stated that it is the desire of the Town to have a consultant perform the work which has been identified within two months , and then let the consultant respond whether he thinks that is a possible request . At this time , Mr . Frantz commented on the Comprehensive Plan meeting held at Ithaca College on August 2 , 1988 . Mr . Frantz asked for a resolution from the Planning Board expressing their appreciation to Ithaca College . MOTION by Chairman Montgomery May , seconded by Mr .

Environmental Health Division Public Health Director 401 Harris B. Dates Drive May 20 , 10E9 Ithaca, Now York 14850- 1386 Mr . Paul Jacobs 607.2734275 136 Seven Mile Drive Ithaca . New York 14850 Re : Sewage S •; steas at Collegeview Mobile Home Park Dear Mr . Jacobs : The sewage systems serving the expansion section of Collegeview Mobile Home Fark were built larger than desigrea to accommodate the placement of mere double wide pre - manufactured homes in the park than the approved plans allowed . A brief summary of each is as follows : 1 . The lower the field has been built with 22- 100 feet laterals for a total of 2200 linear feet instead of the planned 15.20 linear feet . This . increase in design flow can accommodate 14 double wide homes and 3 single wide homes instead of the original 14 single wide homes and 3 double wides . 2 . The upper the fields , currently half installed , « ill , whey, completed , • consist of c fields each with 10 laterals of 100 feet for a total of 2000 linear feet . Original design plans called for a total of 1600 linear feet . This increase in size will accommodate 14 double wides and one single wide instead of the planned 13 single wides and 2 double wides . However , you must consult your engineer to verify and inform us - of such verification that enouch area exists for replacement of the sewage systems at the same size the original systems were installed . Without this verification , we would be forced to downsize our approval conditions of the park . These figures are based on 2 feet wide laterals , a sewage application rate of 1 . 1 gallons per day per square foot , and on New York State Department of Environmental Conservation guidelines of flow rates of 200 gallons per day ( gpd ) per single wide unit and 300 gpd per. double wide unit . On such a design flow basis , your plan to replace four single wide units with four small two bedroom double wide units in the existing , older section of the park will not exceed the design flow of the recently replaced sewage system - - - serving that section . EXHIBIT 2 Mr . Paul Jacobs Page 2 , Mav 20 , 1988 I recommend you obtain verification of encueh area to replace the systems from your engineer immediately to avoid any future : nccnveniences . Please call me if you have any questions .
