The Chair opened the Public Hearing at 7 : 40 P . M . The Secretary

Public Hearing signed by the Town Clerk and duly notarized .
Mr . Vernon McCray was the only neighbor present at this Public
Hearing ,
Mr . Carpenter presented his proposed subdivision map and also a
survey map dated September 25 , 1974 , drawn by T . G . Miller , Surveyor .
He also presented the once proposed Crandall Subdivision which included
his land . Mr . Carpenter stated that he has approximately 274 ' of frontage
on Haller Blvd , upon which there exists two homes - one new and one about
70 years old , - the new house having been constructed under Town of Ithaca
Building Permit # 1534 , dated May 9 , 1972 , and known as 220 Haller Blvd .
The old house on the lot which Mr . Carpenter proposes to subdivide is
known as 232 Haller Blvd . He stated that the three proposed lots on
Haller Blvd . would all be the same size - - 91 ' x 160 ' from the road right
of way . The fourth proposed lot would be a large one at the back of the
three on Haller Blvd . Mr . Carpenter noted that water and sewer are
available .
Mr . King asked how there could be any access to the proposed larger
back lot . Mr . Carpenter stated that he would like to build a house on
the back lot some day and that it would be up to him , he felt , to provide
access to such a house .
Mr . Francese stated that in order to provide access to the back lot ,
Mr . Carpenter should have a right of way from Hook Place to the back lot .
Mr . Carpenter stated that such a right of way is a possibility from his
Mother , but that there was certainly no guarantee of it . Mr . Francese
wished to make it very clear that it would be very difficult in the
future for Mr . Carpenter to obtain a building permit for the back lot
without acceptable access . Mr . Carpenter said that he understood .
Mr . Vernon McCray stated that he �had no objections to the sub-
division of the parcel into four lots .

PUBLIC HEARING : APPEAL OF KOPPERS , INC . , APPELLANT , FROM THE DECISION OF
THE BUILDING INSPECTOR DENYING PERMISSION FOR FENCING PROPERTY AND BURYING
FUEL TANK ( PARCEL NO . 6 - 59 - 1 - 1 ) AT 125 ' VINE STREET .
The Chair opened the Public Hearing at 8 : 05 p . m . The Secretary
presented the Affidavit of Posting and Publication of the above -named
Public Hearing signed by the Town Clerk and duly notarized .
Mr . Fabbroni presented the Appeal Form signed by Mr . Donald
Armstrong , . Plant Superintendent of Koppers , Inc .
Mr . Armstrong stated that Koppers , Inc . is interested in two items ,
i . e . , the installation of a six foot high fence , since they assume
liability of _trespassers on the property , and to prevent vandalism and
stealing of equipment ; and the burying of an existing 10 , 000 gallon
solvent ( not fuel as published ) tank to prevent fire and accidental
spillage .
Mr . King asked where the proposed fence would be placed . Mr .
Armstrong stated that it would be chain link fence placed around the
entirety of parcel no . 6 - 59 - 1 - 1 . There followed a lengthy discussion
between Mr . Armstrong and the neighbors of Koppers in re the placement
of the fence , the neighbors expressing the opinion that the land owned
by Koppers has been filled to a height of somewhere between three and
ten feet and has slid over onto the R- 9 District fronting on Mitchell
Street ,
Mr . Francese wished to hear from the neighbors . present how they
felt about the building of the fence itself apart from its placement .
Zoning Board of Appeals - 3 - November 26 , 1974
He pointed out that the proposed fence would be 6 ' high and be a chain
link fence .
Mrs . Russell Hamilton stated that a fence really should be there
for safety but that she certainly did not want to look at it .
Mr . Russell Hamilton stated that the atmosphere up there is a
factory type atmosphere which is not good . He agreed that a fence would
be a good thing from a safety point of view , but that if it were ,=
in front of the trees that are there it would be very ugly to see .
He firmly stated that the fence should be put on the inner side of the
tree line and further that the trees must not be destroyed in the
process . He said that the concept of the fence is alright .
Mr . Francese now moved to the question of the burying of the
solvent tank and asked where it will be buried . Mr . Armstrong indicated
on the site plan map ( Exhibit 11 attached ) that tank # 36 would be
removed from its present location and buried farther up toward the
point of the triangular parcel .
Mrs . Ripley asked Mr . Armstrong if Koppers contemplated replacing
the tank by another one . Mr . Armstrong replied that they did not .
There appeared to be no objections about the burying of the tank .
Mr . Norbert Schickel stated that Koppers , Inc . is a non -conforming
_ use and that he is in favor of their continuing as such . On the other
hand , this is a piece of property on which there has been a constant
increase in activity . He stated that there are several things which
disturb him . For many years Mr . Schickel ' s father had a dispute with
Knight Paving Co . whose trucks were constantly knocking down the
Schickel ' s fence by turning too close to the property line . Koppers
has filled to their property line and beyond and their fill has run
down on to the adjoining property line . They have indeed infringed on
the residential lots .
At this point Mr . Schickel comm ented that he does have title to
25 feet of road r.light of way . If Koppers would give title to 25 feet
to the Town of Ithaca , he ( Schickel ) would give his title to the Town
also , and the people in the area would have a decent road .
As for burying the tank , Mr . Schickel felt that this would make
even more area for trucks to come into and turn around . Mr . Robert
Hannan said that this would not be the case .
Mr . King stated that it was his opinion that the Building
Inspector should check out the site as far as the placement of the fence
so as to prevent any extension of the non - conforming use .
Mr . Schickel , objectedrand for the record stated that the . fence
cannot be built on their ( Koppers ) property line without the fill being
on theeir ( Schickel ) property which they ( Koppers ) have dumped in violation
of their ( Schickel ) rights .
Mr . King asked Mr . Armstrong ift he had a copy of their survey .
Mr . Armstrong said that he did and that he would give one to Mr . Fabbroni
when he inspected the site . He further stated that there are monuments
in place on the site .
Zoning Board of Appeals - 4 - November 26 , 1974
Mr . Francese
, pointed out that there must be 25 ' between the
building and . the fence .
Mr . Ray Hemming , 807 Mitchell Street , was present and stated that
he is a resident of both the Town and the City . He was accompanied
by Mr . Robert Garcia of Homestead Circle and President of the Bryant Park
Civic Association . Mr . Hemming said that he wished to register the
concerns of a lot of people both in ' the City and in the Town over the
years to anything that allows even one more inch of expansion for
Koppers . He noted that there has been an increase from 8 trucks to
28 trucks over the past 20 years . He further stated that the people ' s
only control over Koppers is through the Zoning Board of Appeals .
Mr . Francese was curious if Koppers had considered a wooden fence .
Mr . Armstrong said that they had not but they would if that is what the
people would like to see , although he felt that it would be subject to
deterioration more than a chain link fence .
Mr . Schickel stated that the plantings need improvement also . Mr .
Schickel mentioned again the 25 ' right of way title to the Town and Mr .
Armstrong pointed out that it is not within his authority to discuss the
25 ' right of way coming from Koppers .
Mr . King requested to know the size of the tank that is proposed to
be moved and Mr . Armstrong stated that it is a 10 , 000 gallon tank .
Mr . Schickel voiced his objection , for the record , to the moving
of the tank to the North .
Mr . King requested that Mr . Schickel bring in his survey map also
and Mr . Schickel said that he would .
Chairman Francese closed the Public Hearing on the Koppers Matter
at 8 : 40 p . m .
REQUEST OF ATTORNEY STANLEY TSAPIS FOR THE SCHEDULING OF A RE- HEARING OF
THE SOYRING APPEAL ,
Mr . Tsapis . read a letter , dated November 21 , 1974 , to Chairman
Peter Francese , with copies to Edward King and James V . Buyoucos , in
which he requested a motion being considered by the Board to rehear the
Appeal of Amy Suzanne Soyring , Mr . Tsapis stated that a Motion to rehear
must come from a member of the Board and a majority vote of the Board .
. The Zoning Board of Appeals had denied Mrs . Soyring ' s appeal on July 17 ,
1974 , and the case had been appealed to the Tompkins County Supreme Court ,
where it was dismissed because the Appeal had not been taken within the
30 day time limit from the date of the filing of the decision of the
Zoning Board ,
Mr . Tsapis stated that the purpose of the re - hearing would be for
the Board to receive additional information . In any event , should the
Board not alter its decision , it would give the appellant the right to
appeal the matter , since his client has essentially been foreclosed on
the merits of the case .
Mr . King stated that the Board of Appeals had made some 22 findings
of fact in this case and he asked Mr . Tsapis if he disagreed with any of
Zoning Board of Appeals - 5 - November 26 , 1974
the findings . Mr . Tsapis stated that he did disagree with some of the
findings and further that he can submit evidence that would disagree with
those findings .
Mr . King noted that this matter has come up before this Board at
least three times . Mr . Tsapis said that he has been involved only twice .
Mr . King pointed out that the Board does have its records and also that
the composition of the Board must not be a part of the appeal . Mr . Tsapis
stated that he was prepared to stipulate that he would not raise any
objection as to the composition of the Board and further that he would
raise no objection to the Board ' s reviewing all of the files that it has
on this matter .
Mr . King pointed out that it is possible that the Board could decide
not to change its decision . Mr . Tsapis stated that he could then appeal
to a higher court . Mr . King stated that he was not sure that he can
carry an appeal .
There were no further questions .
Mr . Francese stated that the matter will be taken under advisement
and declared that the discussion was closed at 8 : 52 p . m .
EXECUTIVE SESSION
The Zoning Board of Appeals retired into Executive Session at
8 . 53 p . m .

At 9 : 00 p . m . Chairman Francese re - convened the discussion of
the Soyring matter . Chairman Francese called for a Motion .
MOTION by Mr . Edward King , seconded by Mr . Jack Hewett :

INUATION OF APPEAL OF KOPPERS , INC .
Mr . Francese outlined the position of the Board at the moment .
The location of the fence will be determined after recommendation by
d
e
Zoning Board of Appeals - 6 - November 26 , 1974
Ask the ' Building Inspector and the members of the Board . The construction
of a chain link fence with one gate at the corner. , duly screened , seems
to be in order . The burying of solvent tank # 36 , 10 , 000 gallons , seems
to be in order except that any permission to bury such tank must not
be construed in any way as an encouragement to the enlargement of the
plant ' s operation . It was the opinion of the Board that any further
objections may arise after site inspection .
MOTION by Mr . Peter Francese , seconded by Mr . Edward King :
RESOLVED , that the Public Hearing on the Koppers Appeal shall
be adjourned in order that the members of the Zoning Board of Appeals
of the Town of Ithaca may have time to inspect the Koppers property
and the Survey Maps ( duly provided by Mr . Schickel and Koppers ) , and
FURTHER, that the matter will be taken up at the next meeting
of said Board being December 10 , 1974 .
There being no further discussion , the Chair called for a vote .
Aye - Francese , Ripley , Hewett , King , Austen .
Nay - None .
The Chairman declared the MOTION to be carried unanimously .
The Chair declared that the Public Hearing was adjourned at

Re : . Soyring
Dear Peter .
As you have probably learned by nano , our application to appeal
the decision of the Board made on July 17 , 1974 , was dismissed by the
Tompkins County Supreme Court . The grounds for the dismissal were that
we did not take the appeal thirty days from the date of its filing on
July 19 , 1974 . That was a mistake which was my responsibility . But
more Importantly , it denies Airs . Soyring the opportunity to have her
appeal heard ,by the Court and decided on the merits .
There is a procedure under Section 267 of the Town Law ,
Subdivision 6 . which permits a rehearing of the appeal by your Board
to reconsider its decision made on July 17 , 1974 , based upon the pre-
sentation made at that time and the, presentation made previously . If
the Board makes the same decision 1t did on July 17 , 1974 , we would
then be in a position to take the matter to Supreme Court to be decided
on the merits . it is also possible that upon presentation of further
facts that the Board may reconsider its original decision .
As 1 understand it , there is a meeting to be held by the Board
on Tuesday , November 26th , at which time I would respectfully request
that a motion be considered by your Board ' to rehear this matter .
Thanking you in advance for your consideration , 1 remain
