SEQR Determination: Sleeper 2 -Lot Subdivision, 156 & 158 Westview Lane.
Andrew Sleeper, 158 Westview Lane
I just need to check whether a point of clarification ... could be clerical error, may
be necessary at this juncture. I noticed in the packet of documents returned to
me last week by Mr. Kanter, on the proposed resolution, one place and the
proposed resolution for the subdivision approval in two places, ...refers to the
most recently revised September 19, 2003 map of survey lots 50a and 50 b and
documents that I submitted on December 1St are most recently revised in the
notation, November 29, 20060
Mr. Kanter — Clerical error.
PB Minutes 01 -02 -07
Pg. 6
Chairperson Wilcox — A brief overview of what you are proposing, please, for the
benefit of the public listening.
Mr. Sleeper — You could probably say it better than I could, but I am requesting a
subdivision of a 2 -lot lot to be broken in to the two pieces it was originally...
Chairperson Wilcox — Specifically, you own a duplex, which is right now on a
single lot and you'd like each half of the duplex to be on a separate lot consistent
with other duplexes in the Grandview subdivision.
Mr. Sleeper - Right, I didn't know that I had to go this route but I've been advised
that that is what I should be requesting in order to receive, to reep other benefits
in...
Chairperson Wilcox — Actually there's a legal issue right now because... The
issue is that you technically don't have a legal subdivision. That's why you're
here. That's what brings you here this evening.
You own both sides right now?
Mr. Sleeper — Correct.
Chairperson Wilcox -- You rent out the other side?
Mr. Sleeper — No.
Chairperson Wilcox — The other side is empty right now? You're occupying both
sides?
Mr. Sleeper — It's co -owned by myself and my mother, Jane P. Sleeper. My
mother owns, fives in the 156 side, I reside in the 158 side.
Chairperson Wilcox — Okay, but the use of the property is not intended to
change?
Mr. Sleeper — Negative.
Chairperson Wilcox — Questions with regard to the Environmental Review,
Board Member Hoffmann — I noticed a slight difference between the various
maps we have. There's one which is a final plat of the Grandview subdivision,
where this lot is outlined in yellow and then there's the more recent one,..
Chairperson Wilcox — That is the map on which we are basing our decision.
PB Minutes 01 -02 -07
Pg. 7
Mr. Kanter — The Grandview map is for reference purposes only. That is not a
conflict in any way, it simply is the original subdivision map where these two lots
were not split.
Board Member Hoffmann —Well, the difference is in that line that is drawing it
into two lots and the last bit of it, closest to Westview Lane goes off at a different
angle and that's also indicated on this paper, ...
Mr. Kanter — That's the tax map. Again, this Grandview subdivision plat is for
reference purposes only. This is not an official.. .for the internal part, that is not
the official lot line, inside.
Board Member Hoffmann — So the official lot line does have ...I see now when I
look at this one that there is also a curve at the longer part of the line and then it
goes off at a different angle, closer to Westview Lane. So that's the line that we
are talking about tonight? That's how it is supposed to be? Is there a reason for
it being that way, instead of a straight line going all the way up?
Mr. Kanter — Probably Andrew, nor us, nor anyone here knows because it was
done before Andrew purchased the lot and it was done illegally, let's say, without
Planning Board approval and it was filed with the County Clerk's office. The
County Clerk accepted it illegally. That's on the record. That ...
Mr. Sleeper — Well, I don't think the way the line jogs was done at that time. This
is from the original subdivision that the Town of Ithaca accepted in 1984.
Mr. Kanter — Well the internal line with the jog, I don't know...
Chairperson Wilcox — Apparently was not accepted. Was not part of the original
subdivision.
Mr. Sleeper — But there was no change in lines or anything like that, recently, that
was accepted by the County Assessment office.
Mr. Kanter — Yeah, there was in 2003 1 believe it was.
Mr. Sleeper — I'm saying of the lines, not of the subdivision. I'm speaking in
terms of line change-only. I just want to clarify that this line has remained
constant. You can look at the previous ...
Chairperson Wilcox — We're making this more difficult that necessary.
Mr. Sleeper — I agree.
PB Minutes 0l -02 -07
Pg. 8
Board Member Hoffmann — I wondered what the reason was for the line being
the way it is and nobody knows I guess because it happened.' Was Ivar
Johnson involved in that subdivision as it is implied in this tax record.
Chairperson Wilcox -- ....Johnson sold a lot, but I'm not sure its relevant.
Someone want to move...
Board Member Hoffmann — I want to say that I think it is relevant if Mr. And Mrs.
Johnson were involved in the subdivision, that was not done properly, it makes a
big difference to me that it was they who did it, if it was, because they would have
known better, since they are developers.
Chairperson Wilcox — But he's not here to be chastised.
Board Member Hoffmann — No, but it still makes a difference, I think. It was not
quite as innocent a mistake, to my mind, if it was done by him as if it were done
by somebody else.

NAYS: None.
The Motion was carried unanimously.
Chairperson Wilcox announces the next Agenda Item at 7:18 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of Preliminary and Final Subdivision
Approval for the proposed 2 -lot subdivision located at 156 and 158
Westview Lane Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No.'s 58 -2- 39.681 and 58-2-
39 682, Medium Density Residential Zone. The proposal involves
subdividing the +/- 18,020 square foot property into two lots along the
existing property line where each unit of the existing duplex will be on an
individual lot This property was previously subdivided without receiving
approval from the Town of Ithaca Planning Board. Andrew P. Sleeper and
Jane P. Sleeper, Owners /Applicants.
Chairperson Wilcox — Questions with regard to the subdivision.
Board Member Talty — I just want to say, from an optical point of view. I think
know what you did here. There's two pins, one in the back of the property one in
the front of the property, when he built the structure, with the shared wall, I think
he made a mistake and he put it too far over one lot line because these are
bending and then he brings it back ... because.if you put a piece of paper over it,
PB Minutes 01 -02 -07
Pg. 10
it's a straight line if you go from pin to pin and it looks like he made a mistake so
what he did was he compensated at the end to bring it back.
Chairperson Wilcox — This has happened before.
Mr. Walker — There was a lot line modification that I approved, it's a minor
modification but it was because they put the house in the wrong place. They
resurveyed it to show that it was on the lot, but the resurvey was different than
the original subdivision. So probably, that's exactly what happened, they didn't
have good survey control when they built the house and it doesn't take much to
move a house (inaudible) it looks like that's what happened.
Board Member Talty — I don't think it was a deliberate attempt, it was just an
adjustment, right Dan?
Mr. Walker — Yeah, that would have been considered a minor modification of the
lot line because basically there are two lots and it doesn't change it too much.
Mr. Kanter — What I was trying to say earlier was that the tax map from, and I am
not sure of the years, so don't quote me on it, but, you can quote me anyway, the
tax map from 2002 showed these two parcels as one parcel. It may have,
earlier, been two parcels which were consolidated or it may have been one
parcel, I don't know, because this goes back quite a ways, but the fact is the tax
map showed this as one parcel and then the next year's tax map showed it as
two parcels, as it is on this map. It was illegally subdivided. So this is not just a
lot line modification. It's correcting the plat that was filed in the County Clerk's
office without any Planning Board approval. Period.
Mr. Walker — No, I'm not saying that this particular one ... If they had come back
after they had built the house and said oops, we made a mistake, that would
have been a minor lot line modification, if it had been two lots in the beginning.
Chairperson Wilcox — Questions of the applicant.
Board Member Hoffmann — I just wanted to add something to what was said and
that is, my questioning about the lot line was not the thing that I was concerned
about. The main concern is that it was done illegally by somebody who should
have known better, presumably, somebody who should have known better. But
anyway.,.
Usually when we have seen lot modifications and people have had divided lots
and they join them together under the same owner, they do that for tax purposes
because it's less expensive to have one lot and pay taxes on it than to have two
next to each other and pay taxes separately on them. But you say you are
dividing it for tax purposes.
PB Minutes 01 -02 -07
Pg. 11
Mr. Sleeper — I am merely responding to the shifting sands of advice and
suggestions that people have been providing me over the years.. My ongoing
rhetorical question is when do I have 100% of the information on which I need to
make a decision and that answer is one word — never. It always changes. I think
I have done the right thing one year and I do this and this and get this fixed.
Turns out n0000 I didn't know about something else and the next year I've got to
do something else. I'm trying to follow a progression of advice that gets my
mother and I into the greatest tax advantage possible and it's something
that ... part of the process that I am in tonight might change. based upon
information that I will get later on this year, I don't know. I've heard that
statement also, that when they are lumped together as one parcel you pay less
tax. In this particular case, the advice presented to me by a number of different
people, including bankers, attorneys and other well informed folks say that in
order for my mother to receive her greatest tax advantage, which is through the
senior Star Enhanced, she needs to deed me her half of the property and then I
grant her right to life use back and that is the latest and greatest that I have to go
on. Whether that changes again, I don't know. I'm just trying to do the best thing
I know in keeping up with the changes and stuff.
Chairperson Wilcox — It also offers you the option of selling one half of the
property.
Mr. Sleeper — Exactly and that half has the potential of going vacant.
Chairperson Wilcox — It takes care of the lot line and getting that legal before..
Mr. Sleeper — Exactly. Yes, as one lot, we would be paying less tax, but with her
advantage with the enhanced, that could be a tax savings also given the fact that
we're co- owners and co- borrowers. That's why I say, Applicant, Defendant and
Victim here. This has been quite a trial.
Chairperson Wilcox — Any other questions? Chair invites the public to speak,
there being no one, the Chair closes the Public Hearing at 7:25 p.m.
Ms. Brock - I had a question for Jonathan. ..ln the similar resolution that this
Planning Board passed in November, dealing with another one of these duplexes
in the same subdivision and in the draft resolution we have for another one
coming up tonight, there's a requirement for restrictive covenants to be imposed
on the two lots declaring that no more than one dwelling unit may exist on each
lot and I didn't know whether that was more important for these others because
in those other situations, the subdivision approval actually said that those
particular duplexes could only be owned by one owner whereas that restriction
doesn't apply to this duplex. So I just wanted to ask Jonathan what he thought
about that.
PB Minutes 01 -02 -07
Pg. 12
Mr. Kanter — Right, that, I think you stated it, basically that's why the condition
was added to the one we saw a month or two ago which had the Planning Board
restriction on further subdivision. So that's why we added it to that other one but
why ... I think we have had other ones in this Grandview subdivision which have
not had that kind of restriction.
Ms. Brock — I think that, as I looked back at the historical materials, it looks like
that restriction is there anyway, for all of the lots, these duplex lots, that they can
only have one duplex with one dwelling unit on each side of the line, but I wanted
to check on that.
Chairperson Wilcox — You're comfortable, Susan?
Ms. Brock — I am. The other one was I was going to add a change saying that
submission of documentation about the firewall could also come from a licensed
architect, but I see that they've actually submitted something from an engineer so
I don't think we need to add...
Mr. Kanter — Except that's for the other...
Ms. Brock — oh, then I will add that. In Paragraph 2a of the resolve clauses, add
submission of documentation from a licensed engineer, add the words "or
architect" because that's the language we have in the other resolution that's
coming up.
Mr. Walker — We may already have that documentation if that house was built as
two single family homes attached in the original building permit but I am not sure
if we have that.
Chairperson Wilcox — Part of the requirement here is that there is an appropriate
firewall between the two structures, which there probably is, but having the proof,
which would then allow you to sell the two halves separately.
Mr. Sleeper — I just want to thank Ms. Brock for pointing that out because that
was a point of clarification I wanted to make also because in advice that I have
received in person from the Code Enforcement Officer, it was mentioned that the
architects signature and certification would be sufficient as well as an engineer's
so, appreciate you saying that. And I also want to just make a clarification as a
point of record that as Mr. Kanter pointed out, it was the "illegally subdivided" and
just don't want that to be construed that I had any part of the illegal subdivision,
It was done unbeknownst to me without any of my knowledge and I am trying to
undo that process or redo that process to get it back into a thoroughly legal and
above board condition. So, please don't construe that I was in any way
responsible for any of the previous, illegitimate...
Chairperson Wilcox — We still respect you.

crabbiness. I thought that...
Ms. Stein — I'd like to apologize personally to anyone that my mother may have
locked horns with. I know there were some people at the Town of Ithaca that she
was fighting with and I am really sorry.
Chairperson Wilcox — Not with us. Are both sides of the house occupied at the
present time?
Ms. Stein — No, my mother's side isn't. The real estate agent was optimistic and
so I didn't try very hard to find a tenant.
Chairperson Wilcox — The use over the past some number of months or years
has been as a two unit duplex?
Ms. Stein — Well, my mother bought it about a year and a half ago and it was
owned by John Barret before that and he just rented out both sides separately
and the ... my mother rented out the half that she wasn't living in.
Board Member Conneman — I also appreciated your note about how dividing this
would not change the character of the neighborhood "one iota". Thank you.
Ms. Stein — Well, I mentioned that because that was brought up when the Greek
neighbors at 155 applied. And so I thought we might be able to save going over
that.
Chairperson Wilcox — The only difference here, to me, is the amount of road
frontage which is 46 feet if I squint. It's shy even for one unit, let alone two.
That's the only issue, because it's a corner lot. We've done other things with flag
lots with 20 foot frontage and ...it's been done before.
Board Member Hoffmann — I have problems with the two lot lines that are shown
on the aerial view that we got. There's a black line that says that that is the old
parcel boundaries and it touches the corner of the house, it cuts across the
corner of the house. And then I suppose that the other line, the white one, is the
new line, which we also see on the ...
Ms. Stein — Does anyone have an aerial view map for me?
Mr. Walker — It doesn't...
PB Minutes 01 -02 -07
Pg, 16
Board Member Hoffmann — Can I just say what my problem with it is first...
Mr. Walker — The white line is wrong.
Board Member Hoffmann — The white line is wrong? Well, it cuts the corner of
the other building so I don't understand why those two lines are there, so, please,
explain.
Mr. Walker — As I mentioned in the previous case, there was a lot line
modification that I approved as Town Engineer and that was this lot. As you see
the original lot line, looking at this aerial photo, when the black line ran through
that corner of the building, it actually was a little closer when you surveyed it,
so...
Board Member Hoffmann — Closer to what?
Mr. Walker — To the ... It was actually through the building, it wasn't right up
against it. The original lot line was actually running through the building. They
caught that mistake some time in the past, some time in the 90's. When they
went to sell the property, a lawyer looked at that and said something is wrong
with this picture. So the Barretts owned both properties at the time so what we
did was I ...The survey had actually been changed, just like the one in the
previous case, by the same surveyor, it had been filed that way but it had never
been corrected on the sub division plat. That was a matter of they moved the
line over, everybody was in agreement, it didn't change the number of lots, it
didn't change whether each lot was legal and so I approved that, as the Town
Engineer has the ability to do , and then reported it back to this Board. So that
lot line shouldn't actually be drawn to that corner point, it's actually down about a
third of the way over on that upper line. If you look at the survey map that was
provided, there's a ...it's an 80 -foot segment and that, I believe, is a 100 and
some foot lot behind it. I don't have the dimensions right on there but the lot
above that ... So that white line is actually about 20 4eet to the right of where it
should be. So it doesn't run up right against the building there.
Board Member Hoffmann — I must say I am still unhappy that what we are
looking at tonight, when we are making this decision, is something that is not
correct.
Mr. Walker — this is not the official document, this is the official document. This
was just a representation of how it fits in with the neighboring lot lines.
Board Member Hoffmann — But if the white line looks an awful lot, the shape of it,
looks an awful lot like what's on this survey map...
Mr. Walker — but if you look at the angle, the angle's a little sharper on the survey
map than it is on this map. And again, this was done by Staff...
PB Minutes 01 -02 -07
Pg. 17
Mr. Kanter — Yes, it's basically just a locational map. The lines on that aerial
photo mean nothing.
Mr. Walker — They are not legal lines.
Board Member Hoffmann— But I don't see the building, the neighbor's building
drawn in on the survey map so it's not very helpful for me in trying to look at this
and see if this new lot line has been put in in such a way as it makes sense. I
would have liked to see that.
The house that's here is not indicated so I can't tell, after having the indication
from the aerial map, that it's awfully close to the neighbors house, I don't know
how close from this map.
Mr. Walker — Okay ... This line is not changing tonight. The subdivision line is
going through the property and this line is not changing.
Board Member Hoffmann —Which line are you talking about. Could you describe
it....
Mr. Walker — The line is labeled, 195.8 feet long, 39 minutes, 45 seconds east.
That line is not being changed. The subdivision is starting in the center of the
street sideline, going back to the center of the building and then heading
southerly to the back property line.
Board Member Hoffmann — But do you know how far this new property line,
which is a195.81 feet long...
Chairperson Wilcox — That's existing... that line is not changing.... The only line
we're considering is this one ... that's the line we are considering tonight.
Board Member Hoffmann — Okay, but even so, if we are considering making a
new lot there, which shares this line with a neighbor to the north, I think we
should look at ...
Board Member Talty — So I guess your question is "How far is that house off that
line ?" He's gonna get the map. .
Chairperson Wilcox — Any other questions with regard to the environmental
review.

Town of Ithaca Planning Board
January 2, 2007
MOTION made by Rod Howe, seconded by George Conneman
WHEREAS.
1. This is consideration of Preliminary and Final Subdivision Approval and
modification of the original 1986 Grandview Subdivision approval for the
proposed 2 -lot subdivision located at 153 & 153.5 Westview Lane, Town
of Ithaca Tax Parcel No, 58 -2- 39.53, Medium Density Residential Zone.
The proposal involves subdividing the +/- 28,200 square foot property into
two lots where each unit of the existing duplex will be on an individual lot.
This proposal will also require a modification. of the. original 1986
Grandview Subdivision approval that restricted this lot (Lot No. 35) to a
single owner duplex. Stein Trust, Owner; Melanie Stein, Applicant, and
2. This is an Unlisted Action for which the Town of Ithaca Planning Board is
acting as Lead Agency in this uncoordinated environmental review with
respect to Subdivision Approval, and
3. The Planning Board on January 2, 2007, has reviewed and accepted as
adequate a Short Environmental Assessment Form Part I, submitted by
the applicant, and Part II prepared by the Town Planning staff, a survey
map entitled "Map of Survey Lot No, 35, Grandview Subdivision,"
prepared by Robert S. Russler Jr., most recently revised November 16,
2006, and other application materials, and
4. The Town planning staff has recommended a negative determination of
environmental significance with respect to the proposed Subdivision
Approval;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED.
That the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby makes a negative determination
of environmental significance for the reasons set forth in the Environmental
PB Minutes 01 -02 -07
Pg. 19
Assessment Form Part II referenced above, in accordance .with the New York
State Environmental Quality Review Act for the above referenced action as
proposed, and, therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement will not be
required.

AYES: Wilcox, Hoffmann, Conneman, Thayer, Howe, and Talty.
NAYS: None.
The Motion was carried unanimously.

an individual lot. This proposal will also require a modification of the
original 1986 Grandview Subdivision approval which restricted this lot (Lot
No. 35) to a single owner duplex. Stein Trust, Owner; Melanie Stein,

Chairperson Wilcox — Questions? None? Changes?
Ms. Brock — Resolve clause paragraph 3c — replace for with upon and
3e — add submission to the Town of Ithaca Planning Department of a receipt of
filing of the easement and agreement with the Tompkins County Clerk's office.
Chairperson Wilcox — Any other questions?
Ms. Stein - There is a note here from Chris ... It's sort of a mix of ... implying that
it's a fait acompli and partly a "if everything goes well" then .. but I think I will
assume that she mean's if everything goes well ... So, the variances that I had a
lawyer make, you're not going to.be dealing with that tonight...?.
Chairperson Wilcox — That's a different Board.
Mr. Kanter — That would require an application to the Zoning Board of Appeals. .
Ms. Stein — Okay, so maybe this is the major hurdle?
PB Minutes 01 -02 -07
Pg. 20
Chairperson Wilcox — But one of two. It's one of two. We can, and we still have
to take the vote, we can approve the subdivision and recommend that the
appropriate variances be granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals, but that's their
job, not ours. They can override the zoning, we can't.
Ms. Stein — Okay, well is there any doubt about, if you look at the aerial view, I
wonder is Ms. Hoffmann had any doubt about where the building is suppose to
be subdivided.
Board Member Hoffmann — No, that I understand because that's clear from the
subdivision and the survey map.

AYES: Wilcox, Hoffmann, Conneman, Thayer, Howe, and Talty.
NAYS: None,
The Motion was carried unanimously.
Chairperson Wilcox — As I said previously, the fourth item this evening, the
Campbell has been postponed by the applicant. My information is that maybe
the applicant and their neighbor haven't really come to an exact agreement as to
the parcel of land that would be sold by the 362 West .King owner to the 364
West King owner, is what I was told. The woman who I was talking to who came
for this particular agenda item just saw subdivision and was concerned. about
what that meant so I briefly showed her what was intended. The intent was not
to create a new lot but to potentially solve an issue for the owner of 364, who
may or may not have sufficient room for a secondary septic system.
So that was withdrawn by the applicant, or postponed, not withdrawn.

There are no minutes to approve so we will do that at the next meeting.
