SEQR Determination: Cornell University Building Demolition Project — Time
Extension, 380 Pine Tree Road
Chairman Wilcox explained that Cornell withdrew their proposal for a parking lot but
they are now simply proceeding with just the required landscaping. The public hearing
notice said parking lot, but not he felt this was not a problem because the proposed use
is more benign than the advertised use.
Tom LiVigne, from Cornell was available for questions from the Board.

the enforcement aspect because there currently are no dates or deadlines. Ms. Erb
was concerned about how long it has already taken for this project to be completed with
the landscaping that was required months ago. Mr. Kanter noted that there are
deadlines in the resolution for the Board to set. Discussion followed.

AGENDA ITEM
Consideration of a sketch plan for the proposed All- Around Storage Mall located at
602 Elmira Road (NYS Route 13), Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 31 -3 -4, Light
Industrial Zone. The first phase of the project involves the construction of a new
two -story climate controlled storage building with an office ( +/- 16,800 square feet)
and two one -story non - climate controlled storage buildings ( +/- 6,000 and 6,300
square feet) on the +/- 3.6 acre site. The project will also include 10 parking
spaces, paved drives, storm water facilities, and other site amenities. The second
phase of construction would consist of two additional one -story non - climate
controlled stoIrage buildings ( +/- 6,600 and 8,100 square feet) along with the
necessary drives. Burkhart Services, Inc., Owner; RJ Development, LLC,
Applicant; Rusty J. Luce, Agent
Tim Bailey from Hawk Engineering, presented the plan. The site is 3.95 acre and they
are proposing 21.25 acres of impervious surface and 1.35 acres of green area for a total
of 3.4 acres total disturbance. The site is zoned Light Industrial and the proposal meets
the minimums with the exception of the front and side yard setbacks.
The proposal involves six structures with 6 days of operation but customers would have
unlimited access.
Ms. Erb stated that she did not like the color and she thought it needed to be scaled
back. She did not see any reason for the largest building to be the one closest to the
road and she also did not like the entrance. Mr. Bailey stated that the color could be
changed and that the photos were just of an existing similar business.
The setback requirements were discussed. Mr. Bailey thought there was something
wrong with the Code because he was meeting the area requirements but not the
setbacks. Mr. Bates stated that they were meant to be a buffer in this zone. Discussion
followed. Mr. Bo�sak noted that the letter from the County reminded the Board that this
is a visually sensitive area and this was the entrance to the Town of Ithaca. The sign
PB Final 03 -16 -2010

regulations were also discussed. Ms. Erb asked about the rental truck area and Mr.
Bailey responded that they would not be renting trucks but the area was set aside for
customers coming in with a rental truck and needing a place to park it.
Mr. Hebdon touched on the SWPPP requirements and the initial areas of concern the
Engineering Department had with their sketch plans. Ms. Erb brought up the sprinkler
requirements and Mr. Bates explained that it is a Town law above and beyond the State
law. A sprinkler would be required unless they went to the Zoning Board for a variance.
Mr. Bailey responded that that may be a deal breaker.
Chairman Wileox listed his comments, one of which was the need for landscaping. Mr.
Bosak quoted) the County Planning memo which suggested a smaller size and the
impact on the stream. Mr. Bosak reminded the Board and the applicant that the Town
was in the process of passing a stream setback law which would probably impact this
proposal.
Chairman Wilcox gave the public an opportunity to speak.
Jon Bentkowsky -- appraised this property. It was at one time Nora Dodd's nursing
home. At end, they filled in the site. In 2004, taxes increased and the owner sold it. Mr.
Luce purchased it. It has been dormant for three years. This is the third attempt to
develop the site;

Consideration of a sketch plan for the development proposed by Dan Mitchell and
the Ithaca Beer l Co. on Mancini Drive off Elmira Road (NYS Route 13) on Town of
Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 33- 3 -2.2, Low Density Residential and Light Industrial Zones.
The proposal involves rezoning a portion of the property to a Planned Development
Zone for a newt brewery, pub /restaurant and beer garden. The project would also
include agricultural fields and pastures, one residence for the owners family, and
potential other residential development on the west side of the +/- 81 acre property.
Mancini Realty, Owner; Dan Mitchell, President, Ithaca Beer Co., Applicant
Dan Mitchell gave overview of the proposed project. The brewery needs to expand and
would like to establish a beer garden which is akin to a park -like setting where you could
have a sandwich and a beer in an outdoor, relaxing atmosphere. He would also like to
incorporate fields to grow hops and even some animals. The idea is to have a park -like
setting with functionality and a destination for people to go to. The parcel is 85 acres
and would allow for expansion as they grow. The possibility of residences is also there
given the lay of the land and the existing roadways. The zone right now is Light
Industrial, but the opportunity is there and he did not want to rule it out.
