Chairperson Wilcox stated that during the past two weeks there has been discussions between Board Members. Some Board Members have visited the sites in question. Chairperson Wilcox stated that he has proposed language to add to the SEQRs if the Planning Board was willing to revisit them. Chairperson Wilcox asked the Planning Board how they would like to proceed. Board Member James Ainslie stated that the Planning Board knows these are unique pieces of land. Evan Monkemeyer is a developer, and naturally he does not feel this land would make good housing sites. From a taxpayer's stand point the cost of park land has never been considered, and it needs to be discussed. Saponi Meadows is a fairly level piece of ground. The park land next to Old Hundred is a very level piece of ground, but the Monkemeyer parcels have problems. When this Board considers a proposal like this, Mr. Monkemeyer would have 12 acres of land he would not have to pay taxes on. For Mr. Monkemeyer to develop these parcels he would need to spend a lot of money. Mr. Ainslie asked if the Town needs any written notification from Lenora Monkemeyer (Evan's sister) stating that she agrees with this subdivision to use the land as park land. Attorney for the Town John Barney stated that it would not be a bad idea to have some type of written approval from Lenora. A receipt of acknowledgment from Lenora would not be an unreasonable condition to add to any resolution. Chairperson Wilcox stated that he addressed a memorandum to the Planning Board and Staff indicating a conversation with Board Member Cornell over the past two weeks. The memorandum shows the language that he and Ms. Cornell felt comfortable with. The Planning Board can revisit the SEQR resolutions for Tax Parcel Nos. 43 -1 -3.4 and 43 -1- 3.32, to add the proposed language if it was acceptable to everyone. Chairperson Wilcox stated that if this Board acknowledges there are rare plants and wetlands on the site Federal guidelines will need to be followed. Then, the Board would need to review any previous resolutions to see if they conflict with the Federal guidelines concerning the rare plants and wetlands. The Board would be approving a subdivision for a very active park land. When the Planning Board addresses those concerns, possible language changes in the SEQRs may need to be considered. Board Member Kenerson asked for clarification, that the Planning Board would be starting from the beginning because nothing was approved at the last meeting. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 3 APPROVED - JULY 159 1997 JULY 19 1997 Chairperson Wilcox stated that the Planning Board approved the three SEQRs. He and Ms. Cornell did not agree to the proposed language at the last meeting. Chairperson Wilcox stated that the Planning Board received a 8 1/2 inch by 11 inch map entitled "Concept Sketch" dated March 10, 1997, and revised March 26, 1997 and May 10, 1997. Chairperson Wilcox asked Mr. Roswick if he could describe how the "Concept Sketch" has changed. Terry Roswick, Ryan Survey, stated that the "Concept Sketch" is conceptual in nature. The scale is 1:400, and none of the boundaries for the three parcels of land have been surveyed or mapped. Between the time of sketch plan, which received a tentative approval conceptually, and the time the preliminary plans were submitted, a boundary survey was accomplished. Surveyors mapped the parcels, and based on the topography of the boundaries, the final acreage were adjusted slightly. Mr. Monkemeyer was able to keep 4.9 acres from Lenora's parcel, but when they allocated the topography, an adjustment to where the road is located was shy some of the estimated acreage from the sketch plan. The balance was moved and increased slightly. Chairperson Wilcox asked how much acreage was added. Mr. Roswick stated that .5 acres was added. Chairperson Wilcox stated that .5 acres was taken from Evan's land and added to Herbert's Trust parcel. Mr. Roswick stated that the intent is to dedicate ten percent of the R -30 land to the Town as park land as part of the subdivision package. Mr. Monkemeyer is not looking to subdivide for the housing immediately. He is looking to donate ten percent of the land for future expectation of development. Mr. Roswick stated that in the interim there have been many discussions with the Town Staff and Attorney Barney to clarify the intentions of Mr. Monkemeyer and the Town's needs to create an active recreational park. Board Member Eva Hoffmann stated that there are layouts of various types of ball fields on the drawings. Ms. Hoffmann asked Mr. Roswick if he prepared the layouts. Mr. Roswick responded, yes. Board Member Hoffmann stated that she visited that site today. Some of the ball fields shown on the northern parcel (Lenora's land), she does not think they could be placed there without doing some damage to possible wetlands and rare plants. The wetlands and rare plants need to be protected. Ms. Hoffmann stated that she does not understand the overlapping of the different fields. Mr. Roswick stated that the overlapping of different fields is common in very tight sites. There are 12.5 acres to work with. Mr. Roswick stated that he has designed ball fields across New York State and Maryland. This is a common way to utilize the land to the best t. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 4 APPROVED - JULY 15 1997 JULY 1, 1997 purpose. This type of layout would allow three athletic fields in a tighter amount of acreage than there would be if each parcel was set aside. If each playing field was laid out separately more acreage would be required than what is shown. Board Member Hoffmann stated that two adjoining overlapping fields would not be able to be used at the same time. Mr. Roswick stated that would need to be worked out during scheduling. Soccer season usually ends when baseball season would be starting. The ball fields are sketched in this angle for solar orientation so children would not be pitching or batting into the sun. Director of Planning Jonathan Kanter stated that the layouts on the "Concept Sketch" were done by Mr. Roswick. He was looking at the dimensions of playing fields to see what could fit onto this site. By no means would that be the Town's proposal. The Town does not have a proposal at this point. JoAnn Cornish researched as to what could fit on this site. Mr. Roswick stated that the "Concept Sketch" basically shows the Board what athletic fields could fit on the acreage allocated. By no means does it indicate the Staff's final decisions of what would be placed there, the quantity, or the arrangement. Planner JoAnn Cornish stated that the Planning Staff has not finalized anything. There needs to be more work done on this site to know what the Town wants to have in this park. Mr. Roswick stated that the "Concept Sketch" shows how a concept park could be laid . out. The Town would need to make their own decisions about what is needed and how the park should be laid out. Director of Planning Kanter stated that he has talked to the Town Supervisor and several Town Board Members. Supervisor Valentino has added this to the Town Board July 7, 1997 agenda to discuss the entire park issue. The Town Board has not discussed this park site in a while. The Town Board discussed the park conceptually several months ago. The Town Board needs to address this park site regardless of what could be wrong with it, or is this a valuable enough site to obtain strictly for it's inherent value as open space. That is one question that would be proposed to the Town Board, which they would be discussing. Secondly, the Town Board would be discussing park development costs, which Board Member Ainslie raised the question about earlier. It would not be the first time that costs have been discussed. At previous meetings, both at the Planning Board and Town Board, Staff has provided some schematic preliminary cost estimates on ball field development on this site. The hope is to provide more specific cost break downs for the Town Board to look at in a number of ways. It may be helpful to take different approaches. Mr. Kanter stated that he would like to present estimated development costs to the Town Board of different scenarios for park facilities that are similar to other parks in the Town. This park would have modest parking area with picnic areas, sitting /viewing areas, and trails. There would be minimal drainage and grading improvements. The Planning Staff has been working on PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 5 APPROVED - JULY 15 1997 JULY 19 1997 numbers, but they are not in yet. Another consideration the Town Board should discuss is the hiring of a wetland consultant to do a preliminary wetland evaluation. There have been estimates received from four wetland consultants to do a preliminary evaluation ranging from $200 to $1,600. The preliminary wetland evaluation would not be a delineation. It would be a determination of what is on the site in terms of any possible State or Federal regulations based on the criteria. The Town Board would need to authorize funds to hire a wetland consultant of a modest range. These items would be discussed at the Town Board's meeting on July 7, 1997. Board Member Cornell stated that she visited the site today with Nancy Ostman and Eva Hoffmann, specifically to look at the places she did not look at earlier. There has been a lot of mowing on the proposed sites. The mowing would make it difficult to do any wetland delineation. She knew where the plants were last time because she kept accurate records. The landowner has the right to mow their property. Ms. Cornell asked Attorney Barney if the Town could ask the landowners not to mow. Attorney Barney stated that the Town could ask the landowners to do anything, but the Town cannot make them do anything. Board Member Cornell stated that there were a few pussytoes found, but the rare sedge could not be located because of the mowing. Board Member Ainslie asked how long would it take the rare plants to grow back. Board Member Cornell stated that these plants would not be identifiable until next year. She is not saying it was all mowed, but she could not find any plants she had seen before. Board Member Gregory Bell stated that while discussions are going on, it indicates bad faith for the owner to mow the property. Attorney Barney asked Mr. Bell on what basis is he making that statement. Board Member Bell stated that the Planning Board is discussing delineation of wetland on this property. Attorney Barney stated that he did not know cutting the grass would be a problem for delineating wetlands. The Board needs to be careful on comments being made in terms of bad faith. Board Member Bell stated that it seems obvious to him, without being an expert, it would be harder to identify plants if they are one inch high rather than six inches high. Assistant Town Planner George Frantz asked Ms. Cornell if she is assuming that this property has been mowed within the last two weeks. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 6 APPROVED - JULY 159 1997 JULY 19 1997 Board Member Cornell stated that she visited the site two weeks ago and brought in plant samples to the Planning Board at the last meeting. Director of Planning Kanter asked Ms. Cornell where the samples were taken from, and was the sample taken from the site that was mowed recently. Board Member Cornell responded, yes, the place where she collected the samples from was mowed within the last two weeks. Her experience with the Army Corp and the DEC, a landowner is free to do what they want with their property provided that they do not fill the wetland. There are a lot of things people could do to their land they own. Director of Planning Kanter stated that, including farming and agricultural practices, which these fields have been used for many, many years ago. Board Member Cornell stated that the only reason she mentioned this is because it would be difficult to identify and use those plants for delineation of wetlands. Someone could be hired to survey the area who has been there before, who has some knowledge of the land. plants. Planner Cornish asked Ms. Cornell to identify what the other indicators are beside Board Member Cornell stated that for federal criteria there has to be hydrology. (Ms. Cornell brought samples of the soil for the Board to see.) Planner Cornish stated that if vegetation did not exist in the wetland someone who was experienced in wetland delineation could find other indictors than vegetation. Board Member Cornell stated that was correct. As she stated at the last meeting, it is not so much that they are wetlands, they also provide habitat for plants. Director of Planning Kanter asked Ms. Cornell if she could explain the rare plants she has been referring to for the Board to be more familiar with, and why are they important. Board Member Cornell stated that she explained that last time. Director of Planning Kanter stated that he would like clarification because he does not think she mentioned it last time. He thinks there is confusion on what rare plants mean. Board Member Cornell stated that she Cornell stated that she would refer to the Protected Native Plants. One plant is thi Mountain Mint (Pyncnanthenum). The sedge triceps. The Carax triceps is locally rare and ratings, did not bring all her notes from last time. Ms. Department of Environmental Conservation's Pussytoes (antimaria), and another is the of great interest is Carax complanata or Carax has a S1 and S2 rating, which are the highest PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 7 APPROVED - JULY 15, 1997 Director of Planning Kanter asked Ms. Cornell rating on what. JULY 19 1997 Board Member Cornell stated that these plants are rated on State level and globally. The Carax triceps, according to the New York DEC and the National Heritage Surveys, has the highest most rare rating of rare plants in the State, and it ranks two or three globally. It is not only rare in the State, but it is rare in the world. It just so happens there are some healthy populations on South Hill that are hard to find any place else. Rare plants mean there are 20 to 35 sites within the State where this plant grows. There are 3,000 to 5,000 individual plants in the State. There may be 1,000 plants on South Hill, so that means there are 2,000 plants some other place in New York State. Director of Planning Kanter asked Ms. Cornell about the other two plants she mentioned last time. Board Member Cornell stated that the Carax complanta is locally scare. It ranks number 5 world wide, but the State ranks it S1. This means the State ranks it as the most rare category. She does not have a ranking for the Pussytoes. The Mountain Mint ranks S1 or S2, which S1 is the most rare and S5 is the least rare. She is not sure about globally for these plants. She mentioned that she could get further information for the Board and Staff to review. Chairperson Wilcox stated that his memorandum to the Board on the proposed language that he and Ms. Cornell agreed upon, does state the existence of rare plants. He feels that the identification of rare plants is not a objective thing as the identification of a wetland is. It is a much more subjective issue, and therefore, he wants the presence to meet the Federal criteria. The adjacency to the Unique Natural Area should be identified also. Board Member Bell asked Chairperson Wilcox about the wording in the memorandum in regards to the three items: 1). Existence of rare plants; 2). Adjacent to a Unique Natural Area (UNA); 3). Presence of areas that may meet the federal criteria for a wetland. Mr. Bell stated that these were the words that were agreed upon, but the copies of the Environmental Assessment Forms do not have the words in them. Mr. Bell asked if the memorandum is an earlier draft or a clerical error. Chairperson Wilcox stated that the proposed language has been written in the SEQR for Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 43- 1 -3.4. The proposed language may apply to Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 43 -1 -3.32 as well. The proposed language was not added to that SEQR form. It was an error on the Board's part in dealing with those parcels. Chairperson Wilcox stated that he would like to propose that the Board revisit the SEQRs for those parcels and add the proposed language. The SEQRs would be modified based on the information available to the Board tonight. Board Member Finch asked Chairperson Wilcox if he was asking the Planning Board to add this language to the second SEQR. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES g APPROVED_ - JULY 15 1997 JULY 19 1997 Chairperson Wilcox stated that the proposed language should be added to the Short Environmental Assessment Form, Part II, under C3 as written in his memorandum to the Planning Board. He also thinks it would be appropriate to add the same proposed language to the SEQR for Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 43- 1 -3.4. He acknowledges the fact that they are similar. The reason he would like to add the proposed language is that during discussions the word "potential" for wetlands was not satisfactory. Therefore, the word "presence" of wetlands would be more satisfactorily. MOTION made by Herbert Finch, seconded by James Ainslie: RESOLVED, that the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby authorizes Part II, C3 of the Short Environmental Assessment Forms of Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel Nos. 43 -1-4.3 and 43 -1 -3.32, to be revised with the following language: 1. Existence of rare plants; 2. Adjacent to a Unique Natural Area (UNA); 3. Presence of areas that may meet the federal criteria for a wetland. There being no further discussion, Chairperson Wilcox called for a vote. AYES - Wilcox, Hoffmann, Cornell, Finch, Ainslie, Kenerson, Bell. NAYS - None. The MOTION was declared to be carried unanimously. MOTION made by Robert Kenerson, seconded by Herbert Finch: RESOLVED, that the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby reaffirm the determination of no significant environmental impacts on Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 43- 1-3.4, based on revised Short Environmental Assessment Form and the information being presented to the Board. Board Member Bell asked if the Town Board's consideration of wetland delineation could be affected one way or the other by this Board's vote. Attorney Barney responded, no. Board Member Bell asked what justification would the Town Board have to do it (a delineation) if this Board votes no significant impact. Director of Planning Kanter stated that the Planning Staff would be discussing with the Town Board on the different ranges of cost and different options to help them make a decision about the park land. This would not be from a SEQR view point, but from a design and cost view point. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 9 APPROVED_ - JULY 15a 997 JULY 11 1997 Board Member Bell stated that they are good view points, but he does not see how the SEQR could be separate from that. He thinks it would be hard to justify a vote for no significance and then to have someone delineate a wetland. Director of Planning Kanter stated that the Board is not talking about delineation. Attorney Barney stated that this Board needs to separate these activities out. This Board is making a determination in conjunction with an application for a subdivision. It is this Board's role and responsibility to make the SEQR determination at that level. The Town Board, before funds are put into action, have a SEQR responsibility also. The Town Board may find, before funds for construction are released, that the issues raised by Ms. Cornell and others may need further studying before making a decision on an active park, passive park, or no park at all. This Board needs to be concerned with the subdivision aspect of it, and the Town Board would be concerned with the development aspect of the park. These issues may be slightly different. action. Board Member Bell asked if the Town Board would be doing a separate SEQR on that Attorney Barney stated that when the Town Board goes to fund the park, they would be required to do a SEQR process. Director of Planning Kanter stated that the park design has not been done at this point. The preliminary design showed a schematic design of what type of ball fields would fit on this site. The Planning Staff would be discussing with the Town Board different options of how the park could be developed. There is no design of a park yet. Board Member Bell stated that the shape of the actual parcels is of concern, not just what goes within the parcels. He has never seen on a single map or an indication of the existing map of where anything is. He is not at all sure that the shape of these parcels make sense. He knows that the Planning Staff has spent endless hours negotiating this, and he would not want to upset them, but so far the Board has not seen locations of anything. He is not sure if the shape of the road or the delineation of these three parcels make sense. Chairperson Wilcox asked if Mr. Bell means he is not sure where the possible wetlands might be or the rare plants actually exists. Board Member Bell stated that he is not sure where anything is. Director of Planning Kanter stated that he, Ms. Cornish, Mr. Frantz, Ms. Hoffmann, and Ms. Cornell visited the site today. He thinks that the Town would be able to suggest a number of things for park development and the wetlands would not be impacted. There being no further discussion, Chairperson Wilcox called for a vote. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 10 APPROVED - JULY 15 1997 AYES - Wilcox, Finch, Kenerson, Bell, Ainslie. NAYS - Hoffmann. ABSENT - Cornell. The MOTION was declared to be carried. MOTION made by Herbert Finch, seconded by Robert Kenerson: JULY 19 1997 RESOLVED, that the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby reaffirm the determination of no significant environmental impacts on Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 43- 1 -3.32, based on the revised Short Environmental Assessment Form and the information being presented to the Board. There being no further discussion, Chairperson Wilcox called for a vote. AYES - Wilcox, Finch, Kenerson, Bell, Ainslie. NAYS - Hoffmann. ABSENT - Cornell. The MOTION was declared to be carried. Chairperson Wilcox stated that Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 43 -1 -3.2 passed at the last meeting, and would not be acquiring any additional language. Board Member Cornell stated that according to the New York DEC, the Mountain Mint is rare, but it is listed as S1 or S2 on the NYS Heritage and Inventory. She just wanted to correct this for the Board. MOTION_ made by Herbert Finch, seconded by Robert Kenerson: 1.

There being no further discussion, Chairperson Wilcox called for a vote. AYES - Wilcox, Ainslie, Kenerson, Finch, Bell. NAYS - Hoffmann, Cornell. The MOTION was declared to be carried. (NOTE: The adopted resolution is hereto attached as Exhibit #4.) Chairperson Wilcox duly closed the Preliminary Subdivision Approval for the Monkemeyer Parcels at 8:41 p.m. AGENDA ITEM: D: Chairperson Wilcox duly opened the above - mentioned matter at 8:42 p.m., and read aloud from the Agenda. Mariette Geldenhuys, City of Ithaca Attorney, stated that the City of Ithaca is proposing this application on behalf of the Bakers who are the owners of Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 58 -1 -14.2. This proposal is similar to the application of the Grigorov Subdivision (off of Coddington Road) from a previous Planning Board meeting. Tax Parcel No. 58 -1 -14.2 is one of the parcels that the City of Ithaca is obligated to acquire as part of the alienation and substitution program of parkland. This is one of the designated parcels that has to be acquired by the City of Ithaca. In the application the City of Ithaca completed is the Short Environmental Assessment Form. The forms are self evident. Doug Foster, City Planner, has brought an overview map to show the Board where this parcel is relative to other parcels that would be acquired. It would also give the Board a sense of where this parcel is relative to the land that the City currently owns. There would be access to this parcel from Giles Street. The access crosses property that the City and County owns in the watershed. There is no current or future intention to ever alienate this property, no longer own it, or use it for other purposes. Chairperson Wilcox asked how would this land be used. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 21 APPROVED -JULY 15. 1997 JULY 19 1997 Attorney Geldenhuys stated that this land would be used for passive park land. This is part of a series of properties being acquired in the watershed area, and no improvements or changes in the natural state of the land is planned whatsoever. MOTION made by Candace Cornell, seconded by Herbert Finch: E D: That the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby makes a negative determination of environmental significance in accordance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act for the above referenced action as proposed and, therefore, neither a Full Environmental Assessment Form, nor an Environmental Impact Statement will be required. There being no further discussion, Chairperson Wilcox called for a vote. AYES - Wilcox, Hoffmann, Cornell, Ainslie, Finch, Kenerson, Bell. NAYS - None. The MOTION was declared to be carried unanimously. (NOTE: The adopted resolution is hereto attached as Exhibit #5.) Chairperson Wilcox duly closed the SEAR Determination for Baker Subdivision Approval at 8:45 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING. CONSIDERATION nF PRPI IUTAIAOV A \I r% .. ITHACA. AGENT: Chairperson Wilcox declared the above -noted matter duly opened at 8:46 read aloud from the Notice of Public Hearings as posted and published and as noted above. Board Member Bell stated that he is not in disagreement with what the City of Ithaca is proposing, but he wants to know why they are not doing more. Mr. Bell asked what is the amount of acreage and what is the legal designation. Mr. Bell stated that he understands from various documents that the City is proposing that this be a less strenuous legal designation than other parts of the watershed itself. Mr. Bell stated that he is curious as to why the City is not proposing it to be equal to the rest of the watershed. i PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 22 APPROVED -JULY 15. 1997 JULY 19 1997 Doug Foster, City of Ithaca Planning Systems Manager, stated that he has been working on this project since 1990. He was confused on the question from Mr. Bell as far as the designation concerns. The land would be designated as federally protected park land. The City will own the land for watershed purposes. Board Member Bell asked why would the City want the separate designations. Mr. Foster stated that it is not necessary for the City to have two separate designations. There is land that the City owns with multiple designations and multiple purposes. There is a line on the map that shows the Six Mile Creek Natural Area, which was passed by Common Council a few years ago. It is in the City code. This land is within the Town of Ithaca, but it was passed by the City Common Council, and it is designated as Six Mile Creek Natural Area. Director of Planning Kanter stated that there is a provision in the City's Charter, and he is not sure when and how that happened. Attorney Barney stated that it would only govern anything that the City of Ithaca owns. Mr. Foster stated that this does not hold any regulatory authority over the land particularly land not owned by the City. It just designates the goals and objectives of what the City wishes to do with property that is owned by the City. It realizes in the code that it is not just for watershed purposes, it is also for passive recreation. There is more than one purpose for the land. There are no restrictions on the land owned by the City in other areas. The City would be buying additional land to buffer, and it is within the area that is City designated Six Mile Creek Natural Area. It is stated that the City wishes that all areas would be protected for natural state purposes. That is why the City has several capital projects happening to purchase land in that area. This is one part of it. The five properties that the City would be buying would be substitute park land. It just works for a larger goal for preserving the whole area designated as natural area. Board Member Bell stated that he is not questioning the larger goal. He is very happy to see the larger goal. Mr. Bell asked why is it that this parcel and the other parcels being proposed are not as equal in status as the watershed. One benefit, for example, the issue of access would no longer be an issue because the parcel would be 600 acres not just four acres. The City would not need access, and the City would not have to show the Planning Board an access road because it would not be an issue. Mr. Foster stated that from the City's point of view, they do not see it as an issue. It is for the purposes of what the designated park land would be used for. This is in the City's request for the alienation conversion, and they declare what the City's purposes are for substituted parkland that the City owns. There is no intention by the City to use this land for any other purpose. It would be used for the same purposes as all the other lands. It would just include an additional protection for federally protected parkland. The City is trying to t PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 23 APPROVED - JULY 15. 1997 JULY 19 1997 piece together various things, and this was an opportunity to use the park land alienation conversion as part of increasing the size to the Six Mile Creek Natural Area. Attorney Barney asked if this is going to be limited in use, what is the reason not to consolidate the watershed land. Attorney Geldenhuys stated that as far as the City is concerned it is going to be consolidated with the watershed land. The City does not see these as discrete parcels that would remain discrete parcels. Yes, the City is acquiring them in separate pieces right now, but as far as the City is concerned when the City owns all this property that this would be one consolidated parcel. The federal restrictions apply because it is part of the alienation substitution program. Attorney Barney stated that he understands that part, but the concerns for the Town of Ithaca are not to have land locked parcels such as the condition in the resolution. Mr. Foster stated that the only reason why that may be a problem, the City is acquiring many parcels in this area. It could be done, but he does not see why that needs to be done. The problem is that the line would be delineated as park land. There would be a line there delineating what the City is acquiring as protected park land whereas the others would not have that status. Attorney Barney stated that the City could draw a line where they want to on their property, but the significance would be that the City would not be able to sell or transfer the land discretely at any time in the future without coming back to this Board for a subdivision approval. Attorney Geldenhuys stated that is not in the plans at all to convey this land discretely at any time. She thinks there are no problems with consolidation of the tax parcel. The City would need to know where that line is for the City's records and for the federal restrictions. The City does not have any intentions of selling this land. If things change, the City would need to come back to this Board. Mr. Foster asked if the Planning Board would prefer to see all of this area to be one tax parcel. Chairperson Wilcox stated that the Town would prefer not to have separate land locked parcels. Planner Cornish stated that if this land was consolidated it would no longer be a land locked parcel. Mr. Foster stated that the City is acquiring many parcels, and asked if the City should come in one by one or should they wait for one consolidation of all the parcels. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 24 APPROVED - JULY 15. 1997 JULY 19 1997 Attorney Barney stated that the City could do whatever they want. The Planning Board could add a condition that states within a specific time period, that there would be an advisement to the Tompkins County Assessment Department that this piece of land is not a separate piece of land any more. This land would be consolidated with Tax Parcel No. 55 -1- 1. Mr. Foster stated that as long as the Federal Covenant does not have a problem with that he does not think the City would have a problem. Attorney Barney stated that this would be a valid subdivision as long as the conditions are met. If the City does not meet the conditions the subdivision would be no good and then the City would be violating Town Law by accepting title to this land without coming back to this Board. Director of Planning Kanter stated that there would be a time period set up for meeting the conditions in the adopted resolution. Attorney Geldenhuys stated that if the City gets this approval they would be anticipating closing within the next four to six weeks. Attorney Barney stated that six months would be ample time for the conveyance. Attorney Geldenhuys stated that the contracts are in place, and this is the final step before the closing. Mr. Foster stated that it may be the right thing to do, by conveying the properties all at once. The City is acquiring other properties in this area also. Attorney Barney stated that the City could notify the assessment office all at once after the closings, or the City could do them individually. Chairperson Wilcox asked if the Planning Board was given reasons why the Grigorov Subdivision could not be consolidated with the neighboring City owned land. Director of Planning Kanter stated that the Grigorov Subdivision was submitted to the Town by Carolyn Grigorov (owner), not the City. If the City is proposing these parcels and accepts these conditions, then they would be responsible. Attorney Barney stated that if the Planning Board chooses to approve this proposal, the Board should approve it with a condition of consolidation. If the City has a problem with the condition with the federal or state alienation process, then the City could come back to the Planning Board. Attorney Geldenhuys stated that the City's idea is to have continuous park land with no other uses in mind. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 25 JULY 19 1997 APPROVED - JULY 15. 1997 Board Member Bell asked if the water shed ranger would have jurisdiction over the park land. Mr. Foster stated that the purpose of the Six Mile Creek Natural Area that the City owns is to bring the whole area under the same administration, which is a combination of groups. The Department of Public Works is primarily armed to do the physical activities that need to be done for watershed purposes. Also, the City Forester would be working with the Six Mile Creek Advisory Committee. They are primarily the ones that review the whole area, and how it pertains to the City code and how the City maintains the whole area. An Advisory Committee would over see all the City's natural areas, not just the Six Mile Creek Area. The Department of Public Works would always have a focus mission as long as the City is using that for City water. The City has a Gorge Ranger who reports to the Six Mile Creek Committee as does the City Forester. Board Member Bell asked if the Gorge Ranger would have jurisdiction over these new lands even if they are not part of the consolidation plans. Mr. Foster responded, yes. Board Member Bell asked if the curfew restriction after 11:00 p.m. that is posted at the entrance to this, would be applied equally. Mr. Foster stated that the areas the City is obtaining for substitute parkland are all not going to be developed with paths and other types of things. The City has an area where there is a road and a large path where people could walk. On this particular piece of land, it is a very steep hill that is wooded. That would be acquired for buffering purposes because the road is right there and people walk right by it. If it were to be developed a house would be hanging off the cliff with a beautiful view, but would have a serious aesthetic impact. Board Member Bell stated that the only reason he is asking these questions is because there have been ongoing problems with groups of people hanging out in this immediate area at all hours of the night. The Town Board just passed a law to restrict parking on his own street. Mr. Bell asked why SM -04 is the size it is on the map entitled "City of Ithaca - Proposed Six Mile Creek Property Acquisition ", because the lots SM -11 and SM -12 drops down a ways to SM -04, and further asked why the City did not just extend the same line from SM -11 and SM -12. Mr. Foster stated that the City is buying the entire parcels of SM -11 and SM -12. The City was not interested in buying the entire parcel of SM -04, which is very expensive and also flat with excellent access. There could be development on that remaining land. The line was drawn to include that entire area of the bank that goes up 20 feet beyond the line so there would be no structures hanging over. Chairperson Wilcox stated that another reason would be that the old Marion Farm used to farm part of the parcel with tomatoes approximately 20 years ago. It is slowly PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 26 APPROVED - JULY 159 1997 JULY 19 1997 returning to it's natural state. It is far different from the lower parcels. That land is not as valuable as the lower part the City is acquiring. Attorney Geldenhuys stated that it is not as valuable for park purposes, but much more valuable for a residential development. Chairperson Wilcox opened the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone from the public wished to be heard. Robert Sweet, 1401 Slaterville Road, stated that his property adjoins the Baker property on the side towards the City. He is perfectly happy with the City purchasing whatever they wish and whatever they can negotiate. The City has been negotiating with him slowly for three years with no progress yet. Mr. Sweet stated that he has a concern on the line that would be drawn because the Baker property is approximately 12 acres. Seven acres of the Baker property is within the new Conservation District, and five acres are parallel to the highway. Mr. Sweet asked if the Bakers sells four acres to the City, what would happen to the three acre parcel remaining within Conservation District. This is his main concern. The Planning Board has already mentioned that the land is level. It has a beautiful sandy soil. He does not know when the Bakers bought the land. He bought half of that area in 1942. He and Harry Baker divided the sandy knoll, and they owned it since 1942. The Marion's nephew grew vegetables on that property. This land is beautiful for development. The City says they are interested in this land for park land, but they are not interested in the land across the fence. The soil type did not change, the slope did not change, and he is concerned that the Town would have a three acre parcel that the Baker should receive money for it because they want to sell out. Mr. Sweet stated that he has lived on his land for 50 years, and he is comfortable with his 18 acres. He is concerned with the Conservation District saying one house for seven acres. There are seven acres, but the City is proposing to buy four acres. He assumes that the Bakers have agreed. Thank you. Chairperson Wilcox asked if anyone else from the public wished to be heard. No one spoke. Chairperson Wilcox closed the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone was prepared to offer a motion. MOTION made by Robert Kenerson, seconded by James Ainslie: 1. That the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby waives certain requirements for Preliminary and Final Subdivision Approval, as shown on the Preliminary and Final Subdivision Checklist, having determined from the materials presented that such waiver will result in neither a significant alteration of the purpose of subdivision control nor the policies enunciated or implied by the Town Board, and PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 27 APPROVED - JULY 15 1997 JULY 19 1997 2. That the Planning Board hereby grants Preliminary and Final Subdivision Approval for the proposed subdivision of Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 58 -1 -14.2, 12.42 +/- acres in size, into two lots, Parcel A consisting of 8.33 +/- acres and Parcel B consisting of 4.09 +/- acres, located on Slaterville Road, as shown on a plat entitled "Subdivision Map showing lands to be acquired by the City of Ithaca from the Estate of Ina Baker, Slaterville Road - New York State Route 79, Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York ", prepared by T.G. Miller Associates, P.C., Engineers and Surveyors, and dated May 13, 1997, conditioned upon the following: a. Submission for signature by the Chair of the Planning Board of an original or mylar copy of the plat, and three dark line prints, prior to filing with the Tompkins County Clerk's Office; b. Within six months of this approval, Parcel B (4.09 +/- acres) as shown on the Final Plat for the "Baker Subdivision" shall be conveyed to the City of Ithaca, and a copy of the deed for such conveyance shall be delivered to the Town Planner, along with evidence provided by the City of Ithaca that said Parcel B has been designated as parkland pursuant to Chapter 242 of the Regular Session Laws of the State of New York regarding "Ithaca City of - Discontinuance of Certain Lands for Park Purposes "; C. Receipt of all required variances from Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals including variance for the establishment of a lot without road frontage; d. Submission of a mortgagee's certificate, in the case that a mortgage exists on this property, verifying that the mortgagee consents to the plat and the dedications and restrictions shown thereon. Attorney Barney stated that condition "c" should be changed to read "within three months after the above conveyance of Parcel "B" to be consolidated with Tax Parcel No. 55- 1-1, and evidence satisfaction to the Town Planner that the Tompkins County Division of Assessment has accomplished consolidation be delivered to the Town Planner." Chairperson Wilcox asked if three months would be sufficient. Attorney Barney stated that it would be three months after the conveyance, so it would be six months plus three months. Chairperson Wilcox stated that he forgot to mention that Phil Zarriello, Chair of the Town's Conservation Board, commented "the proposed action is environmentally favorable and will help ensure the protection of the City of Ithaca's principal water supply." There being no further discussion, Chairperson Wilcox called for a vote. AYES - Wilcox, Hoffmann, Cornell, Ainslie, Finch, Kenerson, Bell. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES NAYS - None. 28 APPROVED - JULY 15,1997 The MOTION was declared to be carried unanimously. (NOTE: The adopted resolution is hereto attached as Exhibit #6.) JULY 19 1997 Chairperson Wilcox duly closed the Preliminary and Final Subdivision Approval for the Baker Subdivision at 9:13 p.m. AGENDA ITEM: FRANDSEN SUI E: Chairperson Wilcox duly opened the above - mentioned matter at 9:14 p.m., and read aloud from the Agenda. Assistant Town Planner Frantz stated that there is no environmental assessment or draft SEAR resolution for this subdivision. The Planning Board, in 1986, made a negative determination of environmental significance prior to granting preliminary approval for the entire 60 -lot subdivision. Charles Guttman, The Clinton House, stated that he delivered a mylar copy and four extra copies of the revised plat to Mr. Frantz tonight. He does not think there is any change from the preliminary subdivision. Mr. Frandsen is requesting a subdivision of what was previously described as two lots to be consolidated as one lot. There is a purchaser, who for medical reasons, needs to purchase that lot right away and build a house on it. The new owners want to set one house on the two lots combined. Mr. Frandsen is requesting that it be modified from being two separate lots to be consolidated into one lot. In terms of the proposed resolution, there are two comments he would like to make. Condition "a" for certification by the mortgagees of the property. There is a mortgage on the entire remaining portion of the subdivision with Tioga State Bank, from which they have agreed to release this property from the lien on the mortgage. Mr. Frandsen requests that the resolution be modified to leave submission of consent of the mortgagees or certification to the Town Planner that the property is free and clear of all mortgages. That would be what the new owners would be doing by providing a statement that there are no mortgages that effect the property. Second, with reference to condition "d" the conveyance to the Town of a proposed 10 foot easement, that the new plat lists a 20 foot easement. This would make it safer in terms of the sewer line. In terms of the sewer line, the line would be running through the rear of the lot and be connected to an existing sewer line as soon as the Board approves this proposal. time. Chairperson Wilcox asked if that is the area where the bull dozer is located at this Mr. Guttman responded, yes. Y PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 29 APPROVED - JULY 15, 1997 JULY 19 1997 Director of Planning Kanter stated that Assistant Town Engineer, Erik Whitney, mentioned he visited the site today and parts of the sewer line have been installed. The sewer line is actively being installed. Mr. Guttman stated that if the Board approves this proposal the owners would like to get the sewer line in within the next few weeks. He expects within the next few days the owners would have the release back from the mortgagees. At that point, the property could be conveyed and start to be developed. Attorney Barney asked if the survey would be modified to show the 20 foot easement. Mr. Guttman responded, yes. He handed Mr. Frantz a revised survey map tonight before the meeting that shows the 20 foot easement.

She does not know whether her comments are relevant. She lived in her house since 1978, and over the years had moisture here and there in the basement. After the Frandsen Subdivision was cleared south of Park Lane, she started to have floods in her basement. They cleared trees, brush, grass, and recontoured the land. The future road (Edwin Drive) has a small culvert under it that collects water coming off the above Park Lane and channels it to the other side of the future road (Edwin Drive), and just sits there. There are no provisions for that water coming from that section of the subdivision to be carried off appropriately. The lack of any type of drainage or provision for the water to run off is causing an enormous problems for her and her neighbors, who have put a lot of money into some type of drainage system around their houses. She faces approximately a $5,700 job to keep the water from entering her basement. She is asking the Planning Board not to approve this subdivision until there is adequate drainage installed. She does not know if that PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 30 APPROVED - JULY 159 1997 JULY 19 1997 two lot parcel is exactly the parcel that affects her property. She thinks it is the two parcels that are northwest of the proposed lots. Chairperson Wilcox asked what does the water do on the future road (Edwin Drive) Ms. Wallitt stated that the water comes under the future road (Edwin Drive). The culverts keep it from interfering with the road, but then it does not go any place from there. It sits stagnant until it builds up to a point where it is overflows into the yards. Her neighbor at 1523 Slaterville Road has a waterfall coming towards their house. She gets some of the run off as well. Chairperson Wilcox asked how long has this been happening. Ms. Wallitt stated that ever since they cleared the land. Having lived there for a long time before, she could compare the type of water she gets now compared to what it was like before the clearing. Chairperson Wilcox stated that this particular area has little vegetation on it. It looks like it has construction debris and asphalt there. The lots to the northwest of the proposed lots along the future road (Edwin Drive) look like there is a lot of regrowth through there. Ms. Wallitt responded, yes, and she hoped it would make a big difference. It is not just the growth, it is the contours of the land that are different from the way they were when there were trees and brush there. The water is being channeled towards her property. Attorney Barney asked who is "they" Ms. Wallitt stated that whoever cleared the land for the Frandsen Subdivision. She does not know how it got approved to begin with. She feels it is a poorly conceived setup as far as the water goes. Board Member Cornell asked if the Town Engineer, Daniel Walker, looked at this. Ms. Wallitt responded, yes. Mr. Walker walked the area with her, and agreed that it was causing the problems. Board Member Cornell asked if Mr. Walker has any suggestions for a solution. Ms. Wallitt stated that Mr. Walker mentioned that the Town would be doing some work in that area, and maybe they could do something to alleviate some of her problems at the same time. Mr. Walker was at the site in earlier spring, and now he is on vacation. were. Board Member Cornell asked if the Planning Staff knows what Mr. Walker's plans PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 31 APPROVED - JULY 159 1997 JULY 19 1997 Assistant Town Planner Frantz stated that he consulted with the Assistant Town Engineer, Mr. Whitney, on this particular approval. Mr. Whitney did not see any problems with the Planning Board going ahead and granting this final approval for this particular lot. The drainage problems of the people on Slaterville Road have steadily increased since the Eastern Heights Subdivision. Mr. Frantz stated that his feeling is this particular approval for the two lots consolidated into one lot would not exacerbate the problem. Primarily given the lay of the land of this particular lot, it is different from the rest of the area because of the fact that there has been other construction in this area. Ms. Wallitt stated that she hopes it is not a feeling, that Mr. Frantz meant those people had these problems when the early housing was built in Eastern Heights. She is now having problems instead of earlier because this land was not cleared until seven or eight years ago. She objects to the implications that it is too bad for the owners on Slaterville Road that this is a natural outcome of the development. Assistant Town Planner Frantz stated that he is not implying that it is too bad for the owners on Slaterville Road. He was just trying to point out the fact for her that the Board knows there are problems along Slaterville Road. That the Town Staff, Planning Board, and Town Board are aware of these problems. Attorney Barney stated that the question is would the neighbors be better off having one house build on this property or two houses built. This is the issue for the Board tonight. Mr. Frandsen would need to come back for final subdivision approval of the lots that are in back of her property. When and if Mr. Frandsen does come in with a proposal, it would be a good opportunity for this Board to consider appropriate conditions to alleviate the drainage problems if the Town is unable to do something on their own before Mr. Frandsen comes in. The issue tonight is for subdivision of the two lots, and does not further her concerns. Chairperson Wilcox stated that it might alleviate some concerns because there would be one house instead of two houses. Attorney Barney stated that the density would be low. Chairperson Wilcox asked if anyone else from the public wished to be heard. No one spoke. Chairperson Wilcox closed the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone was prepared to offer a motion. Attorney Barney asked what is the timing of the closing on this property. Mr. Guttman stated that they would like to have the closing sometime next week. Attorney Barney stated that when this was submitted to the Planning Staff it was submitted as a subdivision for consolidation of lots A6 and A7 when in fact it is really lots A7 and A8. It was advertised to the public as a consolidation of lots A6 and A7. Attorney Barney stated that he has a question in his mind as to whether this Board should take action 3 PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 32 APPROVED - JULY 15, 1997 JULY 19 1997 tonight of consolidating two different lots than those that were advertised for the public hearing. Assistant Town Planner Frantz stated that Number 2 of the WHEREAS in the proposed resolution addresses that concern. Attorney Barney stated that he has a problem with the proposed resolution's Number 2 WHEREAS as written. The statement should read "that the lots the Planning Board are consolidating are lots A7 and A8", because there would be confusion if someone looked at this in the future as to what has happened. The statement should also read "that the lots shown as A7 and A8 would be referred to as lots A7 and A8 ", because they are the two lots in question. He would feel more comfortable if the public hearing was readvertised that way. Board Member Bell asked if the proposed buyer is serious in his letter that he wants to move into a house within six weeks on a lot that has not been transferred. Mr. Guttman responded, yes. The buyer intends to build a $150,000 modular home. The subdivision has restrictions in terms of minimum valuation of anything that would be built on the lots. The buyer has Multiple Sclerosis, and he needs to move as soon as possible. He recently sold his other house, and would like to build the new house as soon as the subdivision is approved. Chairperson Wilcox asked Attorney Barney if this would affect the notification of the homeowners in the area because the lots were advertised incorrectly. Director of Planning Kanter responded, no. The Planning Staff notified the neighbors by the actual lots that were shown on the plat. Chairperson Wilcox asked if there is a potential neighboring homeowner that should have been notified and was not. Assistant Town Planner Frantz responded, no. The lots are in the same location. Attorney Barney stated that the immediate neighbors (Miller, Wagner, and Hastings) were all notified. Chairperson Wilcox stated that it is most important that all the property owners within the distance of these lots received proper notification. Attorney Barney stated that is optional under law. It is the legal notice that gives the jurisdiction. Board Member Hoffmann asked Attorney Barney if he has any proposals for this resolution. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES v 33 APPROVED _ -JULY 159 1997 JULY 11 1997 Attorney Barney stated that if the Planning Board is going to proceed today, he would change WHEREAS Number 2 to read "the lots are now hereafter referred as lots A7 and A8 as so designated on the preliminary subdivision map." References A6 and A7 should be changed throughout the resolution to read A7 and A8, so there is some historical records for this consolidation. He does not see anyone objecting to this consolidation. If the Planning Board acts on this proposal today, the Board acts on the recognition that if someone wanted to make an issue of this they could make an issue at a later date. It was not the Planning Department's fault, they were given the incorrect information. MOTION made by Eva Hoffmann, seconded by Herbert Finch: EREFORF_ RF IT RFCni vian. 1.

Board Member Bell asked if a condition should be made in reference to the drainage problems in the area be corrected. Attorney Barney stated that this Board should not condition that on this particular application. When Mr. Frandsen comes in for a further proposal of the other lots near Edwin Drive, then the drainage problems could be addressed then. The Town is aware of these problems, and they are trying to resolve the problem. so PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 34 APPROVED - JULY 15 1997 JULY 19 1997 Attorney Barney stated that WHEREAS Number 2, should be changed to "said lots were inadvertly identified as Lots A6 and A7 in the advertising for the July 1, 1997 meeting, but the lots are substantially those referred to in said notice." Attorney Barney stated that "or evidence that the mortgagee has released the lien of its mortgage on the proposed lot," be added to condition "a" after "referred to on the plat" and before "prior to the signing of the plat by the Planning Board Chairman."

Chairperson Wilcox opened the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone from the public wished to be heard. No one spoke. Chairperson Wilcox closed the Public Hearing, and brought the matter back to the Board for further discussion. Director of Planning Kanter stated that this proposal is needed to revise the Zoning Ordinance to clarify permissible uses in Agricultural Districts that were discussed during the Suwinski /Nazer Subdivision a few months ago. The Town Board's perspective was that the Agricultural Zone was assumed to have the lot size and dimensional requirements as the R- 30 zone in respect to residential development in particular and not agricultural uses. Attorney Barney stated that the Town always interpreted the Zoning Ordinance as the R -30 regulations .being applicable. The Zoning Ordinance needs to be clarified for agricultural zones.

AGENDA ITEM: OTHER BUSINESS: JULY 19 1997 Director of Planning Kanter stated that the Planning Board was supplied with an announcement for an Informal Discussion Session regarding "The Future of Agriculture and Farmland Protection" on Tuesday, July 8, 1997 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cooperative Extension. The purpose of this meeting is to go over some of the things that were discussed during the Planning Committee and the Codes and Ordinances Committee having to do with possible Zoning Revisions, Purchase of Development Rights Program, and etc. This is to invite farmers and agricultural interested people to express their opinions. Chairperson Wilcox stated that he received a call from David Kay, Vice Chair of the City of Ithaca Planning and Development Board a few weeks ago. The City of Ithaca is interested in some sort of City/Town Planning Cooperation. It is not well defined at this point, but it was expressed that the City wants to have a better idea of what the Town is doing, so the City could plan appropriately. He had heard that this has happened in the past, but did not work out well. Chairperson Wilcox asked the Planning Board what their opinions are on this issue, and to see if it is worth pursuing. There was consensus among the Planning Board members that such cooperation with the City of Ithaca should be pursued further. Board Member Finch stated that the City of Ithaca needs to make sure that they have a copy of the Town's Comprehensive Plan for review. Board Member Hoffmann stated that she has a concern about the Race Office Supply van parking at the end of the handicap ramp to the Board room. Ms. Hoffmann asked if someone could talk to Race Office Supply about parking the van in another place. Director of Planning Kanter stated that he would have someone check into the situation.
