215 North Tioga Street, Ithaca, NY 14850
Minutes
Board Members Present: Bill Goodman, Supervisor; Pamela Bleiwas, Deputy Town
Supervisor; Pat Leary, Tee-Ann Hunter, Eric Levine, Rich DePaolo, and Rod Howe
Staff Present: Susan Ritter, Director of Planning, Bruce Bates, Director of Code Enforcement;
Mike Solvig, Director of Finance, Judy Drake, Director of Human Resources; Paulette Rosa,
Town Clerk; Jim Weber, Highway Superintendent and Susan Brock, Attorney for the Town
1) Call to Order and Pledge of Allegiance
Mr. Goodman opened the meeting at 5:32 p.m.
2) Persons to be Heard and Board Comments
Mr. Goodman reviewed the process explaining that each speaker would have three minutes to
talk and he would give a 1-minute warning to wrap up. Copies of statements can be given to the
Town Clerk for distribution and this is not a question and answer period; the Board can answer
questions at the end if they want but questions will not be answered during the comment period.
Caroline Arms, President of the Forest Home Improvement Association (FHIA) Ms. Arms read
a prepared statement. (Attachment 1)
Doug Brittain, resident of Forest Home summarized his email saying that this problem is a lack
of maintenance and can be fixed. He stressed that the drainage should be fixed when the road is
fixed. (Attachment 1)
Bruce Brittain, resident—Mr. Britain also didn't see what the problem was other than fixing the
broken guiderail that was damaged by a town plow truck. The road width is within what has been
identified in the Comp Plan as good and although it may feel narrow, that is what slows traffic
down and anyone entering that stretch has either come of a stop sign or a speed table.
He spoke to a vendor who installs rails and an estimate is $24K or so to fix it.
He did not think it was a safety issue with 2012—2016 having no accidents there.
Mr. Brittain thought closing that section would decrease the safety of the area by forcing travel
to other, steeper roads. (Attachment 1)
Helen Lang, resident—Ms. Lang read her submitted comments. (Attachment 1)
TB 2018-12-10 Pg. 1
Kylikki Inman, resident read from her emailed comments. She thought the town should simply
fix the guardrail instead of paying for a study. (Attachment 1)
Sally Grubb, Forest Home Chapel member spoke for the large number of people who don't live
in Forest Home but travel there for the Chapel. The winter is difficult on the other roads and
Forest Home Drive is very important for ingress and egress and when it has been closed people
from all over have demanded that the route be open.
Ms. Grubb noted that Mr. Weber's memo shows the repair is on a maintenance list and so this
can't be a hazard and the speed limit could be reduced to 15 mph.
Ruth Mahr, resident Ms. Mahr thought that there had not been enough outreach to the
community as this was the first time she had heard about this and giving three minutes is a bit
rude.
Given that, she highlighted what she thought was important from her email; safe ingress and
egress. Judd Falls Road is relatively narrow for pedestrians and closing that section will make it
worse by increasing the traffic there as well as other intersections that will become heavily used
and more dangerous.
Ms. Mahr said she was trying to think of a metaphor and this section is like a safety valve and
shutting it off will cause harm.
She thanked the town for listening as this has not always been the case. (Attachment 1)
Commuter — Spoke about traveling to Beebe Hall and it would be dangerous to travel and
navigate and many would use McInyre Place and she was also concerned about clients and
people and participants get lost. She requested that if the road is closed for necessary repairs that
the town coordinate and give plenty of notice and put good signage up.
Karl S, resident He said he and his wife agree with everything that has been said. He also
spoke about being a good steward of this 200-year-old road and the beauty and magic of this
stretch of road for this community. It is inconceivable to him to close and barricade this road.
He would not like to be part of the generation that destroyed that.
Joe Wilson Mr. Wilson spoke again for an ad hoc group, Campaign for Renewable Energy,
consisting of 30 active members and asking the board to move forward on the Green Building
Policy which was passed 7 months ago and needs to be made into law so that developers must
follow it. New studies show a dramatic rise in precipitation and temperature. This is the only
way to make real effects to Climate Change.
The East Hill Village expansion is looming and the Northeast Student Housing is happening now
and the developers specifically said they did not have to follow the policy because it is not law.
TB 2018-12-10 Pg. 2
Ari Lavigne Mr. Lavigne said his mailbox will be closed off and so he is actually effected by
this suggestion of a closure and he shared the sentiments being expressed and he urged the town
to do traffic studies to determine the effects on the other roads.
Mr. Lavigne was intrigued about the idea of two-way traffic allowed to continue but one lane at a
time and if it is made one-way, it should be for northbound traffic to effectively create a loop
with McIntyre being downhill and making turning off of Judd Falls Rd the default and safer.
He added that in terms of McIntyre, there shouldn't be a hammerhead there because it will cause
even more issues.
Jeff Holden, resident Mr. Holden stated that he is a new resident but they love it there the
stretch of road has the most beautiful gorge views anywhere.
He said he feels very safe on the stretch of road and looking forward to the development of
student housing, closing this will increase traffic everywhere else and he is concerned about cars
coming through to hit his house as he has heard has happened in the past.
Linda Copeman, resident Ms. Copeman wanted to know more about a permanent closure and
thinks the town would have to do a traffic study to figure out impacts and then figure out how
much it would cost to fix it.
People are going to try and find shortcuts and there is a lot of people running down the road to
Plantations and Cornell should also do a study. (Attachment 1)
Connie Sterling Engman Ms. Engman thought Ms. Arm's letter says it all and added that it is
already deafening from traffic and the houses are very close to the road and you have to close
your windows from the noise so increasing the traffic will just make it worse.
Ms. Engman added that there will be increased pedestrian and cyclist traffic from the new
development and the risks will increase. The Town needs to take a more holistic view and look
at other solutions.
Jim Atsedes, resident of Crest Lane Mr. Atsedes said he is townie not a Cornell person and he
has been traveling the road for 60 plus years and has never seen an accident there. You have to
live in Forest Home to understand what a significant inconvenience closing that stretch would be
and it is too bad that people that don't live there are making the decision to do it. It would be a
tremendous inconvenience.
Mr. Bruce Brittain was given some extra time by Mr. Atsedes and added to his previous
comment that the stretch helps with emergency access and increasing traffic elsewhere is not
going to improve safety.
Mr. Brittain added that any significant change to the road would have to be done without Federal
money and it is a scenic highway.
TB 2018-12-10 Pg. 3
Jamie Laher, resident Mr. Laher said that he thinks everyone is unsettled from the suddenness
of this idea and what does maintenance mean? And how long of a closure? Etc. so information is
key.
Mr. Goodman asked if anyone else wanted to speak; no one indicated that they did and he moved
to the next agenda item.
3) 5:30 p.m. Public Hearing Regarding a Proposed Sewer Improvement for the Town of
Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York, Pursuant to Article 12-C of the Town Law, to Be

which resulted as follows: Bill Goodman, Supervisor, aye; Members Pat Leary, aye; Pamela
Bleiwas, aye; Rich DePaolo, aye; Tee-Ann Hunter, aye; Rod Howe, aye; and Eric Levine, aye.
The Order was thereupon declared duly adopted.
4) Discuss Forest Home Drive
Mr. Weber stated that the volume of traffic being generated is problematic and the presentation
given deals with directing it as safely as possible.
The town owns edge of pavement to edge of pavement and the hammerhead is to allow vehicles
to turn around and also provided snow removal safer.
Mr. Weber said repairs are needed in this area and those need to be discussed and determined.
TB 2018-12-10 Pg. 7
Mr. DePaolo moved to enter closed session to seek the advice of counsel, seconded by Ms.
Hunter, unanimous. 6:37 p.m.
Motion made by Mr. DePaolo to reenter open session, seconded by Ms. Hunter, unanimous.
6:49 p.m.
Mr. Howe asked if the Highway Superintendent isn't saying it must be closed right now, he
would like the board to pause and get more information and if it has to be closed in the future, he
would hope it wouldn't be permanent. He suggested getting costs for basic repairs and very
specific recommendations for moving forward.
Ms. Leary agreed saying that from what the board has heard, it would be more dangerous to
close the road and we need to study what can be done and repair the guardrail now.
Ms. Hunter agreed that the necessary repairs need to be investigated and begun before closing
the road and then it is our responsibility to look at the fiscal impacts and we need to determine
those.
Ms. Bleiwas asked about emergency services and Mr. Goodman responded that he has contacted
the service providers and they told him they deal with road closures all the time and they will
deal with it. He also contacted the ICSD about the possibility and their response was the same.
Mr. DePaolo asked Mr. Weber for clarification asking if it was his judgement that the current
conditions of the road are likely to deteriorate significantly between now and next summer or is
it that the winter weather driving conditions might lead to a situation where an already existing
condition of the road or guardrail is compromised?
Mr. Weber responded that currently it is the winter driving conditions; the snowstorm that hit
before Thanksgiving enlightened us to the problems we have to deal with it that area.
Mr. DePaolo asked about the estimated cost of rehabilitating the road vs shoring up the guardrail.
Mr. Weber responded that the original estimate included sufficient walls above and below to
support the roadway and the safety components or guardrails. Should there be any decision to
create a one-way that will complicate the issue and ascorbate problems in the area. That would
also have added costs that would have to be added to that previous estimate.
Mr. Weber said his proposal did not indicate a change in traffic patterns but to maintain the
existing geometry of the road but provide enough structure to support the safety devices that are
required when you have such a steep drop off.
Mr. Weber stated that the costs for the different options will vary but if you change the traffic
patterns the cost simply spreads to the neighboring community and roads.
Mr. DePaolo said he has an opinion like everyone else and although he is not an engineer or the
Highway Superintendent, it seems there is a balancing test here between potential liability and
the functionality of the community and he would be comfortable undertaking some kind of more
TB 2018-12-10 Pg. 8
metered approach and methodical approach which leads to a permanent solution, perhaps within
the next year, as opposed to shutting the road because we are afraid.
Mr. Levine thanked the public for coming and speaking and he appreciated hearing everyone's
views and the Board will definitely consider everything. We are aware there is an issue and right
now the road has not been closed and should it be closed we will deal with it.
Ms. Leary asked Mr. Weber if we had a horrific weather event could it be closed temporarily for
that event, such as a blizzard?
Mr. Weber responded that that is always an option and the Sheriff has closed all roads at times
but adherence may or may not happen.
Mr. Goodman stated that there is no money in the 2019 budget to do a study of this section of
Forest Home Drive, but we did budget $25K to do a study of the Forest Home Walkway and he
wanted to get a sense of the Board about moving money around in the 2019 budget to do a study
of the road.
Ms. Hunter asked why we would spend $25K to study the problem instead of spending it to fix
the problem? She would rather spend it to fix it than study it. She went on to ask if the issue was
we do not have the capability to fix it on our own?
Mr. Weber responded that we have worked with companies that do the installation of guardrails
and they will warrantee all of their work and they have told us that because of the deterioration in
certain areas, the use of the gabions, and the vertical nature of it, the posts for the guardrails
cannot be set to be able to stop and accident or protect anyone that hits that.
Ms. Hunter asked how a replacement would differ from the structure that is currently there and
why is it that we were able to build this existing guiderail as it stands many years ago and yet we
are not able to recreate that construction process?
Mr. Weber responded that he had no information from Mr. Fabbroni regarding the design
considerations that he used. Design standards have evolved, and we have to do the work to meet
current standards.
Ms. Hunter asked if he had only received this information from one vendor or talked to multiple
vendors?
Mr. Weber responded that we have talked to the vendor that does the work in the area; there are
limited people that do this type of work.
Ms. Hunter asked if we continue discussion of this, is this something that he thought would
require independent committee or could this be done through the Public Works Committee?
Mr. Goodman responded that he sees this going to the Public Works Committee. Ms. Hunter
thought it might be good to bring in some vendors to get a better idea from them and Mr. Howe
TB 2018-12-10 Pg. 9
responded that the meeting is next week and that might be a bit soon but he could discuss it with
Mr. Weber.
Mr. Weber asked for clarification on whether she would like to see staff or other outside vendors
and Ms. Hunter responded that she would like to hear from both and explore alternative fixes and
try and locate the most cost effective and least impactful fix.
Mr. DePaolo asked Mr. Weber if the estimate he indicated he received included engineering and
specifications or a quick estimate and Mr. Weber responded that the estimate was done in-house
to come to a dollar value for the CIP. That estimate included property acquisition, structural
improvements we identified as being required and a reconstruction of the road because by the
time you remove the existing gabions that are there, you lose half the road so you have to
reconstruct and rebuild the road.
Mr. Weber added that the guardrail vendor basically looked at the section and said he would not
put his reputation on the line and warrantee it as being done correctly.
Ms. Leary asked how much leeway the Town has with standards and could we build to standards
that were there over the last 50 years? Is there a way we can make the repair to the guardrail that
doesn't require reconstructing half the road?
Mr. Weber responded that when you hire a vendor to do work, they will not compromise the
standards and their insurance company will not allow them to compromise the standards to the
work that they do.
Ms. Leary responded that she is not talking about safety standards, but a lesser than perfect fix
but still adequate for safety. She asked if he was saying that it absolutely required a
reconstruction of the road and that there was no other solution to get the guardrails in there
correctly?
Mr. Weber responded that he would like to go out for an independent group for transparency.
There are multiple alternatives and they all have a cost and all of them do have impacts that are
either site specific, or improvements to other areas to mitigate impacts.
Mr. Weber added that gabions are just stones thrown into a metal basket and given the salt on the
roads they do not hold up and once you start doing something to them it generally means a full
replacement. Gabions are very limited in what they do; it is a quick, cheap solution not meant to
be permanent or long-term.
Mr. Weber added that he keeps noting that we do not own the property there and we will still
need to purchase the property and need access to the property below to construct a final product
regardless of which option is done and right now our hands are tied as they are in other areas of
Forest Home.
Ms. Leary said that she would be in favor of reallocating funds in the 2019 budget.
TB 2018-12-10 Pg. 10
Mr. Howe said it wasn't clear to him whether the Mr. Weber was saying the gabions would need
to be removed to do basic repair or could that repair happen with the existing gabions?
Mr. Weber responded that he did not know the answer to that question but given the amount of
time they have been in place, he has serious concerns about their stability in the long term.
Mr. DePaolo said there seems to be an assumption hat we will need to pay for property
acquisition but isn't there also the possibility that adjacent property owners, given their interest
in maintaining the road and having it open, would be willing to grant easements at no cost to the
Town?
Mr. Weber responded that he has to look at a total project cost and can't assume that; if there are
easements, which he would prefer not to have easements but ownership, if someone wants to
donate it, that would come off the project cost.
Ms. Hunter asked if there are multiple property owners and Mr. Weber responded there are about
5 on the uphill side and one on the downhill side.
Mr. Howe stated for the record that he is one of those property owners and he had assumed that
the work would be more on the gorge side so there is a lot to figure out. He added that many of
the residents are hoping that the width of the road does not need to change and this deeper
discussion should probably move to Public Works.
Mr. Goodman agreed but wanted to get a sense from the full board about funding for the study
and/or repair. The Board members responded that they would be interested in funding it.
5) Discuss options for electric vehicle charging station
Mr. Goldsmith was available for questions and Mr. Goodman stated that the focus is whether to
allow access by the public. He added that this is partially funded by the NYSERDA Grant.
Mr. Goodman reviewed Mr. Goldsmith's memo and the options (Attachment 2). The Board
discussed the issues with opening the charger to the public given the Codes vehicles are parked
off-hours where the charger would be and would be charging themselves after hours. There is
also the issue of snow removal if we attempted to move the vehicles for weekend charges etc.
During the day the parking lot is blocked by the gates. There is also the question of allowing the
public to charge without a fee which would constitute a gift to the public.
The Board felt while they were in favor of the idea of access by the public, this first one and its
location does not lend itself to that happening. Staff with electric vehicles may be able to access
the charger when Codes vehicles are absent for a length of time.
The Public Works Department will discuss the particulars of the installation of the charger.
TB 2018-12-10 Pg. 11
6) Discuss and consider Public Works Expansion and authorization for Supervisor to sign
contracts for the design phase
Mr. Goodman introduced the topic saying this is for the next phase of the project and the
question is which Green Building program to pursue. The consultants submitted a comparison
with the Town's Green Building Policy upgrades to HVAC would be about $100K on top of the
initial estimate of$565K which is mainly for heat pumps for the administrative area. The HOLT
management fees on top of that would bring us to about $800K total. The current allocation is
$600K (See Attachment 3).
The scope of services from HOLT were discussed and the draft resolution changed to reflect the
full scope of services listed.
Mr. Goodman noted that there was an estimate for the NYS Stretch Code which was another
$100K and Mr. DePaolo asked what the payback period would be. There was a comment on the
report saying the payback was not favorable. The Board was in favor of applying the Town's
Green Building policy requirements option.
Ms. Hunter asked who was reviewing these plans and although she would like to abide by our
own Green Policy, are there savings elsewhere that could offset that?
Discussion followed reviewing how these plans were developed, and some cost saving options
already applied. Different costs were discussed and the interior design and/or furnishing are not
going to change the costs significantly, the major costs are the building envelope.
TB Resolution 2018-151: Authorizing the Town Supervisor to sign a contract with HOLT
Architects, P.C. for the Administration Expansion Proiect at the Public Works Facility
Whereas, the Town Board authorized a Space Study with HOLT Architects, P.C. at the Town
Board Meeting on June 25, 2018, Resolution 2018-88, to examine expansion of the
administration portion of the Public Works facility, and HOLT subsequently submitted the Space
Study to the Town, and

Hello,

disruption Ufhaving Forest Home Drive closed down byThurston Ave for years, | @Dldistressed tOhear 8D
additional closure isbeing considered.
Some thoughts:
that is the "flat way out" —sometimes in snow or ice storms that's the only way to get out to that part of town
- @58David bike rider, | would hope that 8S@minimum, that section OfForest Home Drive could bekept open
to bikes—again— FLAT| /|'rn solidly middle aged and need all the help | can get!)
- Beebe Lake is beautiful and walking around it is great. Again, that stretch of road is how I get there—will this
beopen tOpedestrians?
- How will vv2beable tOaccess Sackett Foot bridge?
-ASaresident, | pass numerous cars, pedestrians and bikers Onthat stretch Ofroad. Has there been 8study Of
the numbers Ofpeople you'd b2impacting? Again, taking away this flat stretch Ofroad means going Upsteep
hills 1ogo around the closure, it's not just going 8 little extra distance.
-Will this close off exiting from one end of The Byway?That seems very problematic if you look at how that
road operates now—it's quite narrow and turning around is not always an option. You almost have to keep
moving forward tOdischarge 8tthe other end.
-this puts a lot more traffic on the residential roads, especially Judd Falls Road —you're altering the state of the
neighborhood they live in, for the worse.
- If you worsen the quality of the neighborhood we live in, and our tax dollars can't be spent maintaining the

Subject: Discussion of Forest Home Drive closure
Please forward to the Town of Ithaca board members.
Dear Members of the Board of the Town of Ithaca,
Along with many other Forest Home residents, I attended a meeting the other night in which Town Supervisor Bill
Goodman discussed concerns about the safety of a part of Forest Home Drive near Beebe. Supervisor Goodman told us
the it is likely that this section of road will be closed temporarily to address these safety concerns,and that there is a
possibility that the Town might ultimately decide to abandon part of the road permanently.
As you review the options for keeping that section of the road safe, I strongly urge you to recognize the vital significance
of that road for residents of Forest Home. The permanent abandonment of the road would present many very serious
consequences, include diminished access of emergency vehicles to the community, loss of a level exit out of Forest
Home,unsustainable and likely dangerous pressure on other streets in the area, loss of an aesthetic treasure to the
whole Town,as well as the loss of a thoroughfare of great historical significance.
Therefore,as you investigate this matter, I urge you in the strongest terms possible to seriously consider all possible
options for keeping the road open to automobile traffic.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Bend
127 Warren Road

Subject: Forest Home Drive closure potential
Rich and Bill,
Thanks Rich for our useful impromptu chat on this subject today, and thank you Bill for your recent outreach on
the same. (I am of course writing only in my capacity as your constituent.) Unfortunately I will be in a City
Council meeting tomorrow evenin.g during your visit with the FHIA, Bill. To that end, I want to share a few
thoughts now:
If a closure can be avoided, that would of course be optimal. A reduction to one lane between Judd Falls and
McIntyre would be next best. I also join many in Forest Home in requesting traffic counts before and during
any closure to inform the question of whether to dead-end the bottom of McIntyre, as you have suggested, Bill.
To the extent a true closure is required,my wife and I have a preference for keeping the bottom of McIntyre
open for a left turn onto FHD, particularly in light of the unsafe intersection(with Judd Falls Rd.) at the top of
McIntyre, which we try to avoid. However, much more important to us is the quality of life for our McIntyre
Pl. neighbors, to whom we defer to the extent that most of them prefer creating a dead end over the likely-
increased traffic volumes McIntyre would presumably otherwise see.
In the event that McIntyre is not dead-ended during an FHD closure, I'd like to share the following suggestions:
1. Detour signage at the top of Pleasant Grove hill, and possibly elsewhere, should be posted to divert traffic
away from using McIntyre in lieu of FHD.
2. McIntyre should be signed at top and bottom with a very slow speed limit during this closure,because it may
get a great deal of extra traffic as the de facto FHD.
3. A traffic mirror or similar should likely be installed for those making a left(or right, actually) onto Judd
Falls at the top of McIntyre. With the heightened volume of traffic that this closure would bring to McIntyre,
that already tight/blind left turn will be all too likely to cause accidents.
1
4. It would be very helpful if the closure still permitted vehicular access to the one mailbox(mine, 107)
between Judd Falls and McIntyre, such that the closure might begin—75 feet north of McIntyre. (I don't believe
the road defects impact that area...).
Thank you very much for your outreach to our neighborhood and engagement with the impacts that we will feel
from this issue. For most in our neighborhood, Forest Home Drive is the primary route to work, school, and
play every day, and we appreciate your sensitivity to the impacts of a closure on our daily lives.
Best wishes,
Ari

Other people will contact you to explain why the proposals for Forest Home Drive are misguided. This message is to
emphasize that the outrage you are hearing is fueled by the abruptness with which the proposals were put
forward. There has been a serious failure of communication and the ForetHomoeoonnmunityisright|yupset.
To make substantially changes to the traffic flow through the hamlet, by closing one Ithaca's most picturesque roads, is a
major decision. To dosowith no warning, minimal planning, and no discussion is an embarrassing failure of
communication.
^ This section of road has suffered from deferred maintenance for a long time. Nothing has changed recently, Why has
itsuddenly been declared unsafe?
° Apparently the only alternatives being considered are abandoning this section of road or an expensive rebuilding
project. Why not do the deferred maintenance and keep the road as it is, a narrow,winding road that is totally in
keeping with the scale ofForest Home?

Subject: road closure
Paulette, I sure hope that the town changes its mind on the road closure in Forest Home. It sets a precedence that if we
decide not to maintain roads we can simply decide to close them. Think about that. Every town,village,city, etc.,can
take the position that let's just not maintain and upkeep roads as we can always just decide to close them down. What
an archaic attitude.Jim

SU6|8Cf: CODlD0eD[: P[0DOSed Forest Home Drive Closure
Dear Paulette,
Please add the following letter to the comments from the community regarding the proposed closure of Forest Home
Drive.Thank you.
Tothe Town ofIthaca:
I am writing in regard to the proposed closure of Forest Home Drive. It's a bad idea. Forest Home Drive is a crucial artery
between Forest Home, Cornell, downtown Ithaca destinations, and several schools serving our neigh bo rhood--the high
school and Boynton Middle School.There simply is no parallel alternate route; available detours are time consuming and
inconvenient. Forest Home is surrounded by and interlaced with golf courses, Cornell Botanic Gardens, and Fall Creek.
Driving here isn't like driving around downtown Ithaca where you can,for example, take Seneca or Green ifBuffalo is
closed, and, in the process, not stray too far from your chosen route. Our alternate routes are very inconvenient, as we
have painfully experienced over the course of multiple closures in the past decade or more.These have included:
�
Closure ofFHDduring the rebuild ofthe Thurston Avenue bridge.
w
Closure of FHD during the rebuild of the Martha Van building and parking garage.
�
Closure of FHD for a large sinkhole that opened at the foot of Plantation Road.
~
Closure ofFHDfor the replacement ufboth bridges over Fall Creek.
*
Closure of FHD for the recent stabilization of the road and gorge wall near the Thurston/East Avenue
intersection.
Each of these closures was lengthy, difficult and frustrating. We've done our share of"going around."The Town needs
to use the resources provided by the taxpayers to fix the guide rail, do any other necessary repairs and keep the road
open for the benefit of the people who live here, who use the road daily and who need it for reasonable access to our
neighborhood and town. Please rethink the Town's strategy. Please keep Forest Home Drive open. Please don't cut off
this crucial link toour everyday destinations.
Thank you,
Teresa Craighead

Attachments: COMMENT for NCRE public hearing on Oct 23, 2018 - Linda Copman.pdf
PLEASE SHARE THE FOLLOWING EMAIL AND THE ATTACHED PDF COMMENT WITH THE
TOWN BOARD MEMBERS PRIOR TO THE DECEMBER 10, 2018 MEETING. THANK YOU!
Members of the Ithaca Town Board:
Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts on the proposed closure of a portion
of Forest Home Drive.
Before any decision is made regarding the closure of the road, I urge the Town Board to
gather more information, including an up-to-date traffic study for the Forest Home
neighborhood. The traffic study should include (but not be limited to) the following
information:
1) Current traffic counts for all roadways in the Forest Home neighborhood
2) Traffic impact analysis for Cornell's North Campus expansion, including projected
impacts both with and without the proposed Forest Home road closure, both during
construction of new buildings and at full occupancy (the Town should request this TIA from
Cornell's engineering consultant)
3) Assessment from police/fire/school/EMS personnel of impacts on access to/from Forest
Home, especially during inclement weather
Prior to making its decision, the Town Board should also solicit bids for the repair of the
portion of Forest Home Drive in question, and present the cost and time estimates for
these repairs for both internal and external (public) consideration.
I have also attached a copy of my October 23, 2018 comments on the NCRE project, which I
submitted to the City of Ithaca Planning and Development Board. These comments concern likely
impacts to the Forest Home community as a result of the NCRE project, and request further
information from Cornell regarding the magnitude of these impacts and proposed measures to
mitigate them.
With all the facts in hand regarding current and future traffic patterns in Forest Home,
it will be much easier for the Town Board to make good decisions regarding Forest Home
1
Drive -- decisions which ensure the safety and quality of life of residents of our
community.
Thank you for your attention,

October 23, 2018
Dear Members of the City of Ithaca Planning & Development Board,
I would like to submit the following written comments in lieu of appearing in person at the public hearing on
the NCRE project this evening.
The North Campus residential expansion will clearly increase both vehicular and pedestrian traffic in
Forest Home, but these impacts have not been quantified or addressed by the developer. It is standard
practice to require developers to conduct traffic impact analyses that clearly identify the impacts of their
proposed developments on neighboring communities, as well as measures to mitigate these impacts.
I humbly request that the City Planning Board require the developer (Cornell) to conduct a supplemental
traffic impact analysis for the North Campus residential expansion, which should address vehicular
impacts (families and other visitors, food deliveries, construction, buses, taxis and Uber traffic, etc.)
as well as pedestrian and bicycle traffic impacts to the Forest Home community.
The supplemental analysis should be conducted by a third party with a track record of providing neutral
recommendations and it should establish existing levels of service for roadways in the Forest Home
community, including Forest Home Drive, Judd Falls Road, and Pleasant Grove Road. The analysis should
consider the existing level of foot traffic from the Cornell campus to and from the Botanic Gardens
(particularly in the warmer months), as well as increases in pedestrian traffic as a result of the proposed
North Campus expansion. The analysis should also address how proposed closure of Forest Home Drive
between Judd Falls and Plantations Road (a closure that the Town is seriously considering) would impact
traffic circulation if the North Campus residential expansion proceeds.
If the analysis finds that 1) the current roadways in Forest Home are at or near capacity AND/OR 2) the
current pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure on the roadways passing through Forest Home are inadequate
to support the additional pedestrian traffic that will be generated by the North Campus expansion —the
analysis should recommend measures that the developer can take to mitigate impacts of the proposed
expansion, establishing one-way traffic circulation, installing sidewalks, etc.

Town of Ithaca
215 North Tioga Street
Ithaca,NY 14850
Dear Paulette and Members of the Town Board
I write,as both a resident of Forest Home and an expert in town planning and landscape history,
to urge the Town Board to prevent the closure or abandonment of Forest Home Drive.
This winding,scenic road is not only a vital means of egress for the 225-year-old hamlet of Forest
Home—a National Register Historic District—but among the most unique and historically
significant byways in the State of New York. It is a key contributor to the very character and
identity of Ithaca,part of what gives our region its extraordinary genius loci or"spirit of place."
The cultural landscape and its history are often taken for granted,even in a community as
mindful of the past as Ithaca. Roads are especially vulnerable in this regard;we treat them as
expedients,as mere infrastructure and nothing more. Such a view obscures the central role that
roads have played in shaping the form and character of human settlements throughout history.
Forest Home Drive was a freshet that irrigated Ithaca's early growth and development,and was
part of the high road to Cortland and points east throughout the 19`h century. When New
York's state highways were first signed in 1924,the route became part of NY 13. It was later
signed NY 392,and remained so until the present route 13 was built. Forest Home Drive is thus
the forerunner of the most modern arterial highway in our region,a road featured on a recording
carried on the 1977 Voyager space mission"to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth."
Flat and level for its entire length,Forest Home Drive has long been the principle means of egress
for the hamlet of Forest Home. To sever this artery would effectively turn much of the
community into a cul de sac,imperiling the life safety and well-being of residents by restricting
emergency vehicle access. It would put a choke-hold on the Village,and violate a core principle of
town planning and urban design—the provision of multiple and redundant vehicular outlets.
We are the stewards of our collective heritage and its treasures. The closure or abandonment of
Forest Home Drive would not only place a significant burden on local residents,but destroy an
exceptional cultural landscape,shut down an historic artery that has pumped life to our region
for well over 200 years,and diminish the very soul of our town.

Friends,
I am sorry to see closing the road permanently resurface for at least the fourth time as an option. It may help those new to
the debate to know that in my time as Town Engineer 1974-1986, the Town Highway Department did majorvvorhvvitha
gabion wall to keep this section of Forest Home Drive between Judd Falls Road and McIntyre Place viable as a flat route
for the community. In addition when the City threatened to close the road from the City line to East Avenue the Town
highway Department partnered with the City and Cornell to shore up this route in the mid 1980s. Finally, the City itself
"fought" Cornell's attempts in the 1990s to take over the road where the Riley Robb overhanging building is the final
solution to keep this vital route toand from the City open.
So hopefully the rich importance and history of this old turnpike route can be emphasized to the current Town Board. I am
removed from Forest Home since 2005 but still interested in the great community spirit and many old friends.

Juumessage dated l2/b/2Ol85:O2:O3p&8Eastern Standard Time, vvdtcy:
Neighbors,
The ihrno1 of closure of Forest Home Drive between Judd Falls Road and McIntyre Place is real. Can
you make time on Monday evening (December IO)tocome tnthe Town Board meeting (5:30nzu, at
Town Hall -- 215 North Tioga St.) and voice your opposition or show support for those who do.
At last night's FHIA meeting with Bill Goodman, Town Supervisor most of us were shocked by what
betold us.
at the Town Board meeting on Monday evening, the Highway Superintendent (also Director of
Public Works) is going to present the Board with a plan to close Forest Home Drive between Judd Falls
Road and McIntyre Place immediately for "safety reasons." The only reason we were given clearly was
the state of the guard rail, which has been allowed to deteriorate through lack of maintenance by the
Town. The word from the Town Clerk is that there is unlikely to be a document describing the plan in
detail available before the meeting.
according to New York State law, the Highway Superintendent has the authority to close any road
at any time for safety reasons, without requiring approval by the Board.
Bill Goodman suggested that there are three possibilities for the future: re-build or fix (for which
internal estimates have been very high); permanent one-way; or ABANDONMENT. The board does
have a say in which of those paths is taken.
Many folks who were at the meeting agree that we need as many people as possible to turn up at the
Town Hall on Monday evening, whether prepared to speak briefly during the "persons to be heard"
period at the start of the meeting or just to offer support without actually speaking. The form of this
period is that individuals who wish to speak raise their hands and are invited in turn to the mike where
they have up to 3 minutes to speak.
If you are not able to attend the meeting in person, you can also send email to the Town Clerk, Paulette
Rosa, at PRosa@tow[i.ithaca.nv.US
For those who were not at last night's meeting, here is a very brief summary of concerns from my
perspective.
One overarching concern was that it shows a narrow and short-sighted view of safety to address the
problem with the guard-rail in a way that makes a number of nearby locations more
dangerous. Another was that it is the only flat route for getting out of Forest Home when roads are
slippery. Suggestions made for mitigating the risk of a vehicle going through the guard-rail included
making the stretch one-way while more permanent options were explored fully.
And, of course, there was the outrage that this proposal should be sprung on the community with no
notice.
I hope to see many of you at Town Hall on Monday evening.

ELECTRIC E ISI i IIIClING STATIONINSTALLATION ISSLJES TO CONSIDER
December 5, 2018
The Town is purchasing an electric vehicle charging station to charge it's 2018 and 2019 code vehicles
(planned to be Plug-in Hybrid Mitsubishi Outlanders).There are four questions for the Town Board to
address, all of which impact project cost: Hardware; Networking; Access; and Charging Fees. Regarding
hardware: Level 1 chargers are slower, providing about 5 miles of charge per hour; Level 2 chargers
provide about 20 miles per hour and have a networking option which would allow the Town to charge a
fee for charging.

• Level 1 charges more slowly—about 2 kw of electric power charges 5 miles per hour
• Level 1 chargers cannot be networked and cannot accept payment
• Level 2 charges more quickly—about 7 kw of electric power charges 20 miles per hour
• Level 2 chargers have networking (and payment) option
• Costs are similar
• Either option will have two charging ports (one port has similar costs)
• Most public charging stations are level 2
Page 1 of 2
Wi-fi Networking
• Allows credit card billing; Provides charging station info on app (for
example available/ not available); Provides aggregate charging data
for Town
• Required for four years to receive NYSERDA Charge Ready grant
($8,000)
• Network-capable charger is more expensive (About$6,000 versus
$1,500)
• Networking cost = $560/year and one-time $1,000 activation fee
• Allows billing to public and/or employees for charging sessions, at a
rate we determine
• Allows data analysis to inform future charging fees if desired
Y g g
• Parking garages, most other local charging stations are free— no cost
to drivers
Public Access and Employee Access
• Can allow employees to charge at all times
• Can allow public to charge nights and weekends
• One or both of these is required for NYSERDA Charge Ready grant
($8,000)
• By end of 2018, there will be one fleet vehicle and two employee
vehicles
l
• Two public EVs have been seen in lot on weekends
t
Charging Fees Y
• Networking allows the Town to charge a fee for all or certain
customers to use the charging station
• Some local municipalities charge for use, some do not
• If we choose to charge, we have options for how to do so, for example
by the hour, by the kwh, or flat fee. Customers would use a credit card
to pay
• Recommendation: do not charge now, but analyze usage after a year
and then consider charging the public and/or employees
• Current Town Hall electric bill: about $13,000/year
• Estimated Costs: Public charging $322/year; Employee charging
$112/year.These costs are probably over-estimated for the near-term
r
• Estimated costs do not include potential increased demand cost
charges. We will have to be conscious of that issue to avoid these
charges, especially for employee charging.

Town of Ithaca
Public Works Facility Addition
ENERGY CONSERVATION OPTION ANALYSIS
S&A #18066
December 7, 2018
L INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to review proposed HVAC systems for the proposed addition(s)
that meet various levels of compliance with the NYS Energy Conservation Construction Code,
Ithaca Green Building Policy,and the 2016 Stretch Code Supplement to the 2016 NYS Energy
Conservation Construction Code.
The Town has expressed an interest to consider options for the proposed addition that exceed
the minimum energy performance required from the 2016 Energy Conservation Code of New
York State (NYSECC). There are multiple compliance paths for each of the Ithaca Green
Building Policy, (GBP), and the 2016 Stretch Energy Code Supplement, including a
Prescriptive Path and a Whole Building Path. The proposed project includes additions to the
Administration and Break Room areas. However, given the overall square footage of these
areas compared to the overall square footage of the building and the types of functions and
systems used throughout the remainder of the building,using the Whole Building Path for the
aforementioned energy conservation alternatives does not appear to be a viable option at this
time, and therefore has not been included in our analysis.
The various energy conservation alternatives consider energy conservation opportunities by
evaluating building shape/configuration, building envelope and performance, the HVAC
system, temperature and ventilation controls, service water usage/heating reduction and
lighting controls, and overall power reduction.
The proposed project does not include replacing the domestic water heating system nor the
addition of plumbing fixtures at this time; therefore, energy reduction measures associated
with service water usage and heating reduction were not considered as a part of this study.
However, if a toilet room and other water fixtures are to be included in the project, the new
fixtures will comply with the minimum requirements of the Ithaca GBP.
With regards to the required lighting controls,our analysis assumes these efficiencies and level
of controls will be adjusted to suit the occupancy use of the suite, as well as the building
envelope performance would meet or exceed the enhanced Energy Code performance as good
engineering practices and are considered the same for all options included in our analysis.
The following information regarding options for HVAC systems is presented in an effort to
assist the Town in selecting systems that offer enhanced energy performances from the
minimum requirements of the NYSECC, by offering compliance options for both the Ithaca
GBP and the NYS Stretch Code.
IL ITHACA GREEN BUILDING POLICY
The purpose of the Ithaca GBP is to exceed the minimum energy reduction requirements in
the current NYSECC,as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Executive Summary
of the GBP states that local goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80%by 2050, as
well as the mid-term goal of reducing emissions 40%by 2030. The initial focus of the policy
is limited to energy (and, specifically, carbon emissions) and water usage.
The policy is comprised of a set of mandated and incentivized standards to substantially reduce
carbon emissions, in addition to compliance to the NYSECC. Although a major focus of the
Ithaca GBP focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the use of fossil fuels is not
prohibited.
To comply with the Ithaca GBP, all new buildings and large additions must meet the
requirements of the Easy Path OR the Whole Building Path, AND meet the water efficiency
requirement,in addition to complying with the requirements of the NYSECC. As mentioned
above, the project includes small additions to the Administration and Break Room Areas
which represent a small percentage of the overall building;therefore,the Whole Building Path
does not appear to be a viable option at this time.
The Easy Path emphasizes energy improvements with the goal of reducing initial construction
costs. A building must meet a minimum of six points from the published table of system
options. With the Ithaca GBP discouraging the use of fossil fuels, additional points are not
obtained for use of fossil fuel systems.
The HVAC system proposed for Administration and Break Room Areas includes replacing
the two gas-fired furnaces and associated condensing units. We propose installing three
electric air-cooled heat pumps along with three 96% efficient modulating gas-fired furnaces
to meet the heating requirements of the spaces when outside conditions are below acceptable
operating range of the heat pumps. The ductwork served by the two existing furnaces shall
be re-used and modified to accommodate the new layout of the suites, similar to the base
system described in the original report. The existing ductwork insulation shall be replaced
and the existing ductwork would be sealed to comply with the enhanced energy conservation
requirements. An energy recovery ventilation system shall be provided to pre-condition
ventilation air. New temperature and ventilation controls shall also be provided.
The proposed HVAC system (using a combination of fossil fuel and electric heat pumps)
along with the appropriate building configurations, envelop improvements, and lighting
controls would offer a project that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by using higher-efficient
equipment that only runs when the heat pumps cannot.It also complies with the minimum six-
point requirement of the Ithaca Green Building Policy.
III. NEW YORK STATE STRETCH ENERGY CODE
The New York State Stretch Code was developed by NYSERDA that is used by various local
municipalities to reduce energy consumption below the minimum requirements of the New
York State Energy Conservation Code. The NYS Stretch Energy Code targets 10% lower
energy use. The Stretch Energy Code has a set of mandatory requirements, separate core
requirements, and a set of additional energy efficiency options from which one must be
chosen. The core requirements are met through either a Prescriptive Compliance Path or a
S&A#18066 Town of Ithaca-Public Works Facility Addition—Energy Conservation Option Analysis Page 2
Performance Compliance Path. The Performance Compliance Path considers improvements
to the whole building basis versus compliance of individual components. As mentioned
above, the Whole Building Path does not appear to be a viable option at this time. The
Prescriptive Compliance Path for the HVAC system requires that each component exceed the
minimum requirements outlined in the NYSECC by a minimum of 10%.
The HVAC system proposed for Administration and Break Room Areas includes removing
the two gas-fired furnace systems, including the air-cooled condensing units, gas piping,
refrigerant piping, and all of the existing ductwork. We propose installing an all-electric
variable flow refrigerant system (VRF) with fan-coil units and new distribution ductwork to
serve each of the spaces within the Administration Suite and the Break Room. A new air-
cooled heat pump using heat recovery technology shall be provided to meet the heating and
cooling requirements of the spaces. A new energy-recovery ventilation system shall be
provided to pre-condition ventilation air and be distributed to each occupied space. New
temperature and ventilation controls shall also be provided.
The proposed HVAC system(using an all-electric system)along with the appropriate building
configurations, envelop improvements, and lighting controls would offer a project that
eliminates greenhouse gas emissions from the systems serving this portion of the building. It
also complies with the minimum requirement of the NYS Stretch Energy Code.
IV. COST COMPARISON
The attached Opinion of Probable Construction Costs indicate a rough order of magnitude cost
comparison between the two proposed HVAC systems. They do not include the associated
building improvements nor lighting controls that shall be considered for the project. The
purpose of the spreadsheets is to help the Town of Ithaca understand the relative difference
between providing HVAC systems that comply with each of the two energy enhancement
options.
V. RECOMMENDATION
There are a number of items to consider when evaluating the three proposed HVAC systems,
the two described above and the one described in the original report submitted by HOLT
Architects. The originally proposed system provided one new system required to serve the
added square feet of the building additions. It was selected to comply with the original budget
and did not offer a resolution to the age of the existing two split systems, nor address the
refrigerant code compliance issues. The new system meets the Energy Code requirements,
but the Administration Suite and Break Room would not meet the enhanced energy
conservation requirements of the Ithaca Green Building Policy or the NYS Stretch Energy
Code.
The HVAC system proposed to comply with the Ithaca Green Building Policy has a significant
initial cost increase over the base system in the initial report, but in actuality may only be a
moderate increase if the Town planned on replacing the two R-22 condensing units in the near
future. Replacing the two furnaces also addresses the fact that the units may be soon
approaching the end of their useful life, resulting in a completely new HVAC system with
significantly higher energy efficiency due to the use of heat pumps.
S&A#18066 Town of Ithaca-Public Works Facility Addition—Energy Conservation Option Analysis Page 3
The HVAC system proposed to comply with the NYS Stretch Energy Code has an initial cost
of almost double that of the gas-fired furnace with a heat pump system proposed for the Ithaca
GBP compliance. Although the system has an increased energy performance, offers
additional thermostatic zone control, the annual energy savings does not offer a favorable
return on investment.
In conclusion, we recommend the combination gas-fired furnace and heat pump system
proposed to comply with the Ithaca Green Building Policy. This system not only offers an
increase in energy efficiency, but it also offers a means of redundancy in case a compressor
fails during the heating season; the gas-fired furnaces shall be able to meet the space heating
requirements anytime a compressor failure occurs. Despite using gas-fired furnaces,
greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced due to the reduction in the number of hours they
will actually operate each year.
The proposed VRF system offered to comply with the NYS Stretch Energy Code does not
offer redundancy in the heating mode and the heating capacity are reduced as the outside air
temperature drops below 0 degrees F. Furthermore, if the system is considered to be
connected to the emergency power system, the impact to the electrical load on the generator
is higher with the VRF system.

Re: Additional Funds for Medium Duty Truck Purchase
The 2019 Fleet Replacement program identified the costs for Medium Duty Dump
Trucks as $100,000 each with two trucks being replaced.
Quotes for the replacement of these trucks off the Onondaga County Bid from two
vendors has exceeded the $100,000 budgeted for each.
The two vendors have different brand Trucks with slightly different specifications with
one brand being more expensive than the other.
There are four options:
• Remove the replacement from the 2019 budget and Public Works will
schedule/submit the replacement for the 2020 budget with updated costs
• Purchase two Trucks from lower vendor, (increase of$17,969 each for a total of
$35,938.00)
• Purchase two Trucks to the higher vendor, (increase of$23,576 each for a total of
$47,152.00)
• Purchase one Truck from EACH vendor to enable us to compare the capabilities
of each manufacturer for future reference (total increase of$41,545.00 )
