Persons to be heard and Board Comments Roger Dennis spoke saying that his family owns a property on Coddington Road known as Hudson Heights Apartments and has been up and down Aurora St for a lot of years. He said he didn't know that the proposal was to take a lane away from Rte. 96B and many other people he has talked to didn't know either. Mr. Dennis said that in bad weather that lane is very necessary, and he thought it wasn't a good idea to do it and he would like to see any vote on the project postponed so people can comment. Mr. Dennis went on to say that if the Town is concerned about the safety of students going to Ithaca College, the students go up Hudson PI and cut across Coddington Rd., so it would be wiser to put a sidewalk on Coddington Rd rather than Aurora St (Rte. 96B) because that is closer to the apartments where the students are. 3. 5:30 pm Public hearing regarding two noise permit applications submitted by Ithaca Beer for their weekly outdoor dinner music series and their special events schedule. Mr. Goodman opened the public hearing at 5:38 p.m. for both applications. There was no one wishing to address the Board on this topic and the public hearing was closed. Mr. Goodman then turned to the individual applications and resolutions for discussion. Dinner Series Board discussion — Mr. Goodman noted that they had received a number of comments by email which had been forwarded to the Board. See Attachment 1. Brian Ash from Ithaca Beer was present to answer questions. Mr. DePaolo turned to the Findings in the resolutions which referred to the hay bales which the Board has learned need to be treated with a fire retardant to meet NYS regulations. He asked if those should be referenced in the resolution. TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 1 Mr. Goodman gave an update saying he has spoken to Mr. Bates and Ms. Brock about the hay bales and regulations and in looking at the section(s) in the Fire Code, it seems that if the stack of hay bales are the same distance behind the tent as they are high, they would be allowed without the treatment under the Fire Code. Mr. Goodman added that Ithaca Beer could go to New York State and request an interpretation also. Mr. Ash responded that the bales were used last year and if moving them out that distance is following the Code they are happy to do that. Mr. DePaolo noted a typo and there was discussion on the hay bales that were used last year but are not listed in the application. Ms. Rosa stated that she added the hay bales to the application after speaking with Mr. Ash. The use of the hay bales was added as a condition to the resolution. Mr. DePaolo did not think there was a connection to "daytime hours" in the Code to music. Some discussion followed and the reference was left in the resolution. Mr. DePaolo asked whether the condition that was used last year of a mid -year review can be added as well as the ability to rescind a permit if there is an issue. Mr. Goodman responded that he thought that was in the Code itself but if not, it could be added as an additional condition. Mr. Goodman suggested the July meeting since the larger events are clustered in May and June. Ms. Bleiwas asked if that would mean the permit would just be issued to July or was the Board simply going to discuss it at the meeting? Mr. Goodman responded that he would think the permit would be issued in full and considered in July for revoking the permit if needed. Discussion followed and Mr. DePaolo just wanted to make sure there was a legal way to make the music stop if needed. Ms. Brock reviewed the Code and there is no provision for rescinding a permit and Mr. Goodman suggested a condition saying the Board could rescind the permit if it determines that the mitigations are not working. Ms. Bleiwas as the seconder was not in favor of the change to the resolution, asking if that same condition and review would be for anyone else asking for a season long permit, such as Firelight Camps. She thought the problem had been resolved last year after numerous hearings and discussions stating that there were three families that came in last year with issues and they are not here tonight and one of those three sent an email saying the weekly music was ok last year. Mr. DePaolo responded that the potential grounds is that the primary mitigation strategy is being changed to comply with the fire code. We do not know how effective they are going to be and TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 2 there is a history of a back and forth here where there isn't with Firelight. The two are apples and oranges and it remains to be seen if the new way of using the hay bales works. Mr. Howe said he was fine with issuing the permit for the full season with a review in July and Mr. Levine agreed, saying the correspondence we received was based on the same mitigations as last year being used so as long as there is a mechanism for review and rescinding the permit he agrees with the amendment. Mr. Howe moved the amendment with Mr. Levine seconding. Mr. DePaolo spoke to the amendment saying it isn't fair to terminate a permit immediately when bands need to be booked in advance. He thought that after the review, if there were issues, they should be given 30 days to implement new mitigations. Mr. Ash stated that Ithaca Beer has had ongoing discussions with the neighbors and if it is raining and they have to play under the tent where there aren't hay bales, they will talk to the neighbors and see how that went. Mr. Goodman added that if the Board wanted to terminate the permit, we would give them plenty of time to do that and/or institute another mitigation. Ms. Bleiwas asked for the condition again and Mr. Goodman responded it will read "That the Town Board reserves the right to terminate the noise permit if it determines that the mitigation measures have not succeeded after a review at their July 81' meeting." Ms. Bleiwas thought that was vague and goes back to the fact that there are a very limited number of people that have complained about this and someone that came to a meeting last year who said he didn't care; he just doesn't want to hear their music. She felt that is not in the spirit of living in a society. We have no guidance to review the effectiveness of what is good or bad and this business has no guidance for what exactly they need to do. We have a condition but not how we will measure the success of that mitigation and we haven't had a huge negative response to this, just a few so what are we looking for from this business? You can't plan a business or a summer like that especially given the limited complaints and how unreasonable they were. Mr. DePaolo responded that he thought it was reasonable that in the two months that would have elapsed between May 81' and July 81' the company and the neighbors will have had ample opportunity for the kind of back and forth needed to make sure everything is going smoothly. As long as people keep talking and they have two months to work it out, he was comfortable that we will not have a problem. Mr. DePaolo agreed with Ms. Bleiwas in that if you have one neighbor that comes in and says I don't want to hear their music under any circumstance and other people are ok with it we have to weigh that in balance and we are not going to pull a permit on one person being unhappy. The neighbors and the business will have a couple of months to make sure it is ok and have discussions. TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 3 Ms. Bleiwas responded that it seems we are reserving the right to pull the permit for any reason and she did not think that was a fair way to operate and again, it was not such a widespread problem that we can anticipate needing to pull the plug. It isn't fair to treat one business differently than another and it doesn't sit well with her. She said it feels like government overreach to her. Mr. Levine stated that we had a number of residents come in and complain initially and it was only through talking it out and putting these mitigations in place that we were able to get to this point where it is probably fine. We have only had one summer to test it so he thought it was ok to keep a little check on it to make sure it remains ok. He didn't expect to have to pull it but in respect to the residents that did send us correspondence, he thought the motion on the floor was good. Mr. Goodman called for a vote on the new resolution with the added conditions. (See applications in Attachment 2.) TB Resolution 2019 - 052: Approval/Denial of Ithaca Beer Noise Permit — Weekly Dinner Series Whereas the Town Board has held a public hearing on the submitted noise permit application and discussed same, now therefore be it Resolved that the Town Board grants a noise permit for Ithaca Beer weekly dinner music series with the following Conditions: 1. Mitigations specified in the application as well as the addition of hay bales to mitigate sound impacts, and 2. That the Town Board reserves the right to terminate the noise permit if it determines that the mitigation measures have not succeeded after a review at their July 81' meeting Findings: 1. The waiver from the requirements of Town Code Chapter 184 for the above music event is necessary for a valid purpose, because music might not be able to conform at all times to the requirements of Chapter 184, and Ithaca Beer's Planned Development Zone specifically allows for music events, subject to or upon the issuance of any permits required (Town Code §271-15.1)(3), and 2. The waiver is the minimal intrusion needed, because the amplification is needed to provide dinner music to the area, and music is limited to 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., which hours are within "daytime hours" as defined by Town Code § 184-4; the entertainment is intended to be and has proven to be background in nature and not overly intrusive; the amplification TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 4 speakers must be located on the taproom lawn and face Route 13 and have hay bales stacked to provide some mitigation where the band is playing, and 3. On balance, the need for and benefits of the waiver outweigh the needs and rights of the surrounding neighbors to a peaceable and quiet environment, because the music is for a limited amount of time during the early evenings on the specified dates, with the above -listed limitations in place to minimize the intrusion on the neighbors. Moved: Rod Howe Seconded: Eric Levine Vote: Ayes — Levine, Hunter, Howe, and DePaolo Nays — Bleiwas and Goodman Absent: Leary Motion passed. 4:2 Mr. Goodman turned to the special events application. Mr. DePaolo said that his assumption is that these are more sound -intensive and Mr. Ash responded that they are longer that is for sure .... Mr. DePaolo said it looks like there might be several acts for some of these longer events and Mr. Ash responded that they are similar to the weekly musicians and with the exception of one of the events, they all took place last year for the same amount of time. He said nothing is very different than what they usually do in the summer series except the Hoptoberfest which is polka music. Ms. Hunter asked if these events could be in the review process similar to the summer series. Mr. DePaolo said his assumption is that these types of events are harder to pull together and consequently it would be more problematic to pull a permit in July for something booked now. Ms. Hunter asked if the Board could weigh in at that time to simply relay any concerns and look for mitigations. Mr. Goodman called for a vote. TB Resolution 2019 - 053: Approval/denial of Ithaca Beer Noise Permit Application for outdoor music events Whereas the Town Board has held a public hearing on the submitted noise permit application and discussed same, now therefore be it Resolved that the Town Board grants/denies a noise permit for six Ithaca Beer outdoor music events as submitted with the following Findings: 1. The waiver from the requirements of Town Code Chapter 184 for the above music event is necessary for a valid purpose, because music might not be able to conform at all times to the requirements of Chapter 184, and Ithaca Beer's Planned Development Zone specifically TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 5 allows for music events, subject to or upon the issuance of any permits required (Town Code §271-15.1)(3), and 2. The waiver is the minimal intrusion needed, because the amplification is needed to provide the outdoor entertainment of a live band to the area, and music is limited to 12 noon through 9 p.m., which hours are within "daytime hours" as defined by Town Code § 184-4; the amplification speakers must be located on the taproom lawn and face Route 13. 3. On balance, the need for and benefits of the waiver outweigh the needs and rights of the surrounding neighbors to a peaceable and quiet environment, because the music is for a limited amount of time during daytime hours as defined in Town Code and on the specified dates, with the above -listed limitations in place to minimize the intrusion on the neighbors. Moved: Pamela Bleiwas Seconded: Eric Levine Vote: Ayes — Bleiwas, Levine, Hunter, Howe, Goodman and DePaolo Absent: Leary 4. Discuss and consider approval to go out to bid on the Public Works Facility Administration Expansion Project Mr. Goodman noted that HOLT has done detailed drawings and the estimates are higher than anticipated and so this is on the agenda for discussion and agreement to go out to bid. We also might want to talk about the Green Building Policy Analysis; we are drafting legislation to implement that and we are using this as a test case to give us information on how the Policy might be implemented. Graham Guilesspi and Gary Mars, and Doug Clay from the various firms who worked on the drawings were available and gave a short presentation. Mr. Guilesspi gave an overview saying they have developed the project to a point where it is ready for bid. There were hurdles due to the mixed use of the entire building but the focus is on the administrative areas and the added need of this being the emergency location for continuation of services. The general overall figure is $960K. Mr. Guilessppe then turned to the Green Policy costs chart. The NYS Stretch Code analysis was $220K just for the HVAC and $160K for the Green Building Policy and the decision after that initial analysis was to go just for the Green Policy and the points system. There have been multiple iterations surrounding the electrical and heating systems due to their age and new regulations which will be coming into play soon. TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 6 Mr. Goodman asked about the HVAC and Mr. Guilesppi responded that the current documents show three new fan/cool units in the building; one to serve the breakroom and two for the admire area. All three systems will have an electric heating coil system as a back up. All three will have electric air-cooled heat pumps and installed on the roof to provide the primary source of heat. There is an issue because we are in a light-industrial/residential range for sizes available so the operating range is not as good as larger more commercial sized units. The heat pumps will have occasions where they can't keep up with the load and the electric coils will kick in. Outside of the equipment, all the ductwork will be new in the admire area and a small area for the breakroom area. The areas on those systems currently include the toilets, corridors and conference rooms and those will be rezoned. Mr. Goodman responded by saying what he would like to discuss with the Board is that these estimates include all electric back-up and he asked what the savings would be if the gas backup were to remain. Mr. Guilesspi said they looked at savings options and the D-Duct to go from electric to gas there is only a 15% increase, but to go to gas, the significant savings is on the electric side from the coils. The savings to go to gas instead of the current proposal is $25-$30K which includes the costs of the electric and the cost of the controls brings it to a $54-$60K savings. Not all of those costs are attributable to going with the Green Building Policy; it is the current system that is there now does not support the electrical equipment so removing that is a savings. It is notable that the gas would be a backup, not the primary source of heat; the heat pumps would still be the primary source. Mr. Goodman reminded the Board that back in November when this was discussed, the gas backup would not count for points on the Policy then but the working group drafting the legislation has been reviewing this issue and they are talking about allowing points to be given in a situation like this where the overall energy usage will be reduced. So, we need to decide if we want to save that $65K by having the gas backup. Mr. Howe was in favor of it and Ms. Leary thought the diversification was good; Ms. Bleiwas asked if we would still have enough points under our Policy and Mr. Goodman responded that the Policy hasn't been codified yet but if the final legislation has the alternative to give points for having the primary electric and the gas as a backup would allow the points. Mr. DePaolo asked if our emergency generator is sufficient to run the pumps and Mr. Guilesspi said it is close but yes, it would, especially given the added load if in fact the building was used as the emergency response offices for all of the Town. He added that this would limit any future expansion also. This would be a max build out for the system. The Board was in favor of taking the savings by using the existing gas as the backup and Mr. Goodman moved the resolution to go to bid. TB Resolution 2019 - 054: Authorization to 20 out to bid — Public Works Administration Addition Proiect TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 7 Whereas the Town Board has had the opportunity to review the bid specifications for the Public Works Administration Addition Project, now therefore be it Resolved that the Town Board approves and authorizes the bid documents for the Public Works Administration Addition Project. Moved: Bill Goodman Seconded: Rod Howe Vote: ayes — Goodman, Howe, Hunter, Levine, Leary, DePaolo and Bleiwas Mr. Goodman explained that the target is to get people moved out by the middle of May for construction to begin in June. 5. 5:30 pm Public Hearing Regarding a Proposed Water Improvement for the Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York, pursuant to Article 12-C of the Town Law, to be known as the Town of Ithaca Winston-Salem Water Main Water Improvement, and establishing the Town of Ithaca Winston-Salem Water Main Water Improvement Area Mr. Goodman opened the public hearing at 7:00 p.m. There was no one wishing to address the board and the hearing was closed.

(5) It is in the public interest to authorize, establish, and make the Town of Ithaca Winston-Salem Water Main Replacement Water Improvement as hereinafter described, and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby approve, authorize and establish the Town of Ithaca Winston-Salem Water Main Replacement Water Improvement in the area of the Town described as follows and as more particularly shown and described in said plan, report and map presently on file in the office of the Town Clerk: The Improvement proposed in connection with the establishment of the Water Improvement Area consists of the replacement of approximately 4,400 LF of existing 6" and 8" water main with new 6" and 8" water main under Winston Drive, Winston Court and Salem Drive, from Winston Court to the intersection of TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 9 Winston Drive, and other related ancillary facilities, at an initially determined maximum estimated cost to said Water Improvement Area of $875,000; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that the area hereby determined to be benefited by said Town of Ithaca Winston-Salem Water Main Replacement Water Improvement is all of that portion of the Town outside of the Village of Cayuga Heights, and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that all of the allocable costs of said Improvement shall be borne wholly by property within the Town of Ithaca Winston-Salem Water Main Replacement Water Improvement Area, being the entire area of the Town outside of the Village of Cayuga Heights, and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that the maximum proposed to be expended by the Town of Ithaca for the Improvement, including costs of rights of way, construction costs, legal fees and other expenses, is $875,000 which shall be financed as follows: at the option of the Town, by temporary financing under use of available reserves or a bond anticipation note, and upon maturity of the bond anticipation note, the issuance of serial bonds of said Town of Ithaca to mature in annual installments over a period not to exceed 40 years, such bonds to be paid from assessments levied upon and collected from the several lots and parcels of land in said Water Improvement Area which are deemed benefited by said Improvement, so much upon and from each as shall be in just proportion to the amount of the benefit which the Improvement shall confer upon the same, and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Order is subject to a permissive referendum in the manner provided in Town Law Article 7 and Town Law Section 209-q, and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, it is hereby determined that the estimated expense of the aforesaid Improvement does not exceed one -tenth of one per cent of the full valuation of the taxable real property in the area of said Town outside of villages and, therefore, in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 13(a) of Section 209-q of the Town Law, the permission of the State Comptroller is not required for such Improvement, and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that pursuant to subdivision 6(d) of Section 209-q of the Town Law, the Town Clerk is hereby directed and ordered to cause a certified copy of this Order to be duly recorded in the Office of the Clerk of the County of Tompkins within ten days of the date this Order becomes effective pursuant to Town Law Section 91, which when so recorded, shall be presumptive evidence of the regularity of the proceedings and action taken by the Town Board in relation to the aforesaid Improvement. The question of the adoption of the foregoing Order was duly put to a vote on roll call, which resulted as follows: : Bill Goodman, aye; Rod Howe, aye; Pamela Bleiwas, aye; Pat Leary, aye; Rich DePaolo, aye; Eric Levine, aye; and Tee -Ann Hunter, aye. The Order was thereupon declared adopted. TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 10 6. 5:30 p.m. Noise Permit application from La Tourelle/Firelight Camps for various outdoor music events/wedding receptions Mr. Goodman opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. There was no one wishing to address the board and the hearing was closed. (See Attachment 3) TB Resolution 2019 - 056: Noise permit for LaTourelle/Firelight Camps for outdoor events with music Whereas the Town Board has held a public hearing on the submitted noise permit application and discussed same, now therefore be it Resolved that the Town Board grants/denies a noise permit for LaTourelle/Firelight Camps for the events listed as submitted with the following Findings: 1. The waiver from the requirements of Town Code Chapter 184 for the above music event is necessary for a valid purpose, because music might not be able to conform at all times to the requirements of Chapter 184, and LaTourelle/Firelight Camps' Planned Development Zone specifically allows for events/receptions, subject to or upon the issuance of any permits required (Town Code §271-313(e)(1), 2. The waiver is the minimal intrusion needed, because the amplification is needed to provide dinner music to the area, and music is limited to no later than 10 p.m.; the entertainment is intended to be and has proven to be unobtrusive given the location of the property, and 3. On balance, the need for and benefits of the waiver outweigh the needs and rights of the surrounding neighbors to a peaceable and quiet environment, because the music is for a limited amount of time on the specified dates.

Discuss and consider Design Report and SEQR for the Danby Road/Route 96B Sidewalk Project and authorization for the Supervisor to sign associated documents Ms. Ritter reviewed the project saying it is a proposed .6 mile length of sidewalk from Ithaca College entrance at Alumni Circle to Coddington Rd as an asphalt, 8' feet wide sidewalk to match IC's sidewalk system and they are proposing to plow and maintain that section. From Coddington Rd to the City of Ithaca will be a concrete sidewalk, no less than 5' feet wide and it TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 11 will match the City's sidewalk system. The City is proposing to fill in the gaps on the IC side of the road so you won't have to cross the street to stay on a sidewalk. The road tapers now with 350' feet south of the City/Town line where it just kind of ends with no signage and the proposal will have the taper start 1,200 feet south of Coddington Rd with arrows in the road to warn of the lane tapering and using the existing sidewalk that is there. She added that the 9' foot lane as it exists is very narrow for a second lane as it is and the reason for using it for the sidewalk is mainly due to the slope and it would be very difficult if that narrow lane was not used. DOT approved the reduction/use. Ms. Ritter said they did hold a public meeting and unfortunately with no reporter(s) being local any longer, the coverage was not good. The Town did advertise the meeting and she had heard that someone heard it on the radio but it is difficult to get notice out. That being said, she has heard a lot of support for the sidewalk and when we did the Corridor Study, people who live on Danby Rd were in favor of it and always mentioned being afraid of hitting students walking on the road and this project started many years ago from the Ithaca Tompkins Transportation Council after a resident spoke with reflective tape on her coat about the hazards of walking on the road. There are students and residents as well as employees of the College and South Hill Business Campus and of course the possibility of Chainworks coming. (Attachment 4: SEQR) TB Resolution 2019- 057: SEQR: Danby Road/State Route 96B Sidewalk Proiect Whereas, this action is the construction of a sidewalk along the east side of Danby Road/State Route 96B, from the intersection of Alumni Circle at Ithaca College, to the City/Town of Ithaca municipal boundary; and Whereas, this project was awarded funding (80% of the project costs) from the Federal Highway Administration's Transportation Alternatives Program, administered by the NYS Department of Transportation, and a Project Scoping Report / Final Design Report (dated March 2019) has been prepared by Erdman Anthony for the project; and Whereas, this is an Unlisted Action for which the Town of Ithaca Town Board is acting in an uncoordinated review with respect to the construction of the Danby Road/State Route 96B Sidewalk Project; and Whereas, the Town Board on April 8, 2019 has reviewed and accepted as adequate the Full Environmental Assessment Form (FEAF) Parts 1, 2, and 3 for this action; now, therefore, be it Resolved, that the Town of Ithaca Town Board hereby makes a negative determination of environmental significance, in accordance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act for the above referenced action as proposed based on the information in the SEAF Part 1 and for the reasons set forth in the FEAF Parts 2 and 3, and, therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement will not be required. Moved: Rod Howe Seconded: Pamela Bleiwas Vote: ayes — Howe, Bleiwas, Hunter, Leary, DePaolo, Levine and Goodman TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 12 Ms. Ritter explained that this is authorization to move forward with final design and detailed plans including infrastructure and drainage through DOT. Ms. Hunter asked if there was a comment period and she wanted to hear from the gentleman present since there is not another public hearing opportunity. Mr. DePaolo commented that he agrees with the gentleman saying that he frequents this area a lot and he cannot recall ever having seen a pedestrian utilizing the shoulder of that road and maybe it is because they are afraid to now and this would create an opportunity to do so but the preponderance number of people use Hudson St. He asked if it was possible if these resources, given the choice, could be used in another way or location? He said he doesn't know if we would have gotten the funding that we got for another way. He was hopeful that if we do go ahead with this, there will be an opportunity for those that may have been avoiding this corridor to use it. Mr. DePaolo then turned to Section 1.3 where there is a sentence that says "wherever possible, a 5' foot setback will be provided for snow storage between the sidewalk and the edge of pavement occurs" and he was uncomfortable with the "wherever possible" given the safety concerns associated with that given that there isn't going to be a guirerail between traffic and the sidewalk. Ms. Ritter responded that there will be a curb and then grass and then the sidewalk and she said maybe there could be a guardrail where the 5' feet are not possible and we can look at that through the final design. She added that she hoped that a lower speed limit would be contemplated for that area when the sidewalk is done. Mr. DePaolo asked about 1.6 where the project schedule mentions ROW acquisitions and he thought the only property that would apply would be Ithaca College and so is there an anticipated issue? Ms. Ritter said the issue is really whether DOT needs to go through any process for that, which starts at $7K, because the College is on board and will not contest the use. Mr. DePaolo asked about 1.8 which has accident information and he wondered whether there is a delineation between vehicular and pedestrian and Ms. Ritter did not think there was. Mr. DePaolo asked about bicycle amenities and Ms. Ritter responded that she is asking that that not be in there and that it be for pedestrian. She does not foresee this as a multi -use lane; the size was determined by Ithaca College's snow removal equipment, not for mixed use. She added that she thinks bicycles and pedestrians will use it, but that was not the purpose or reason for the 8' foot width. Mr. DePaolo then asked about the next sentence which said "a wide, shared use lane will be provided where the curb line..." Mr. Goodman thought it was referring to the actual road being a little wider from that point on to the City. TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 13 TB Resolution 2019-058: Authorization for Supervisor to sign documents associated with the environmental review and alternative design approval for the Danby Road/State Route 96B Sidewalk Proiect Whereas, on August 7, 2017 the Town Board agreed to accept funding from NYS Department of Transportation and authorized the Supervisor to execute the Federal Aid Local Project Agreement for the State Route 96B/Danby Road Sidewalk Project for construction of a sidewalk along the east side of Danby Road/State Route 96B, from Alumni Circle to the City/Town of Ithaca municipal boundary; and Whereas, on March 12, 2018 the Town Board agreed to enter into a contract agreement with Erdman Anthony for engineering services associated with the sidewalk project; and Whereas, Erdman Anthony has prepared a Project Scoping Report/Final Design Report dated March 2019, and has requested the town's approval and authorization for the preferred alternative described in the Final Design Report, allowing work to begin on the final design; and Whereas, NYS DOT has requested certification from the Town of Ithaca for the Smart Growth Screening Tool and the Federal Environmental Worksheet (both attached); now, therefore, be it Resolved, that the Supervisor of the Town of Ithaca is hereby authorized to sign documents associated with the environmental review and alternative design approval for the Danby Road/9613 Sidewalk Project.

Report of Town Officials a. AOT Conference — Mr. Goodman said the main focus was the State's AIM Funding and lowering those amounts. There was also talk about animal control addressing feral cats with cat licensing and laws against feeding cats. He wasn't advocating for it but it will be interesting to see where it goes. Ms. Bleiwas said she went to a talk on municipal rules for driverless cars and another on the Census and we want students to claim Ithaca as their residence and there were some ideas on working with the colleges to help with that. Some discussion followed on how the Census gathers information from the town with Mr. Bates saying that the Census was the impetus for the 911 readdressing process because they are using dwelling units and accessory dwelling units as part of the equation. Ms. Ritter added that she went to a County/City/Town meeting about the Census because they want to use "block areas" which can be in multiple municipalities to achieve a certain population. There are also six "designated areas" and five of them are in the Town, such as South Hill, West Hill, etc and we are being asked if we want to keep them and that is one of the few things we do have control over but she doesn't understand it fully. Mr. Goodman reported that the State Comptroller has started something called OpenBookNY.com where they are putting a lot of financial information for each municipality so you can research a lot of different information and compare. Mr. DePaolo reported on the AOC Committee where they learned that Charter Communications will be offering something called "essential tv" which is entirely internet based and offers everything that the tv side does and through the same cables and public ROWs from which we will not get any franchise fees. He wondered if he AOT might be a source to TB 2019-04-08 Pg. 17 investigate this since the internet has essentially become television and there must be other municipalities that this affects. He will report at the study session. 11. Review of Correspondence Mr. Goodman noted that Diego on Warren Road had sent an email to the Board about the truck route for the NCRE but that is not slated to go on Warren Rd at all but through the Village which they are upset about, but, not on Warren Rd. 12.

DeVincentis), proposed acquisition of real property where disclosure could affect the price and the personnel history of a particular person; seconded by Ms. Hunter — 7:39 p.m. 13.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the meeting on April 8, 2019 about Ithaca Beer Co. requesting approval of their weekly music series. Last year there was a meeting with the Sheriff s office, the owner of Ithaca Beer Co., town officials and neighbors. I attended that meeting and listened last summer to see if we would hear music from Ithaca Beer Co at our house on the nights the live music was being played. I can tell you that we did not hear it at our home. There was no disruption to our neighborhood because Ithaca Beer Co. had live music outside. I hope that Ithaca Beer Co. will again receive permission to hold their outdoor events and continue to use the methods they did last year to abate music from coming into our community. Thank you for informing our community of this meeting and I hope that my absence is not thought of as not caring. I have an operation in NYC and will be traveling that day, or I would have made arrangements to attend. Thank you. Dawn and Chris Forman 6 Apple Blossom Lane, Ithaca, NY 14850 Dawn Forman dmforman@fastmail.com From: Rob G. To: Paulette Rosa Subject: Ithaca Beer Noise Permit Application Date: Sunday, April 7, 2019 7:44:03 PM 13 Peachtree Lane Ithaca, NY 14850 4/7/2019 Re: Noise Permit for Ithaca Beer Dear Friends, We again find ourselves confronting the noise issue arising from Ithaca Beer's outdoor music The noise generated last year was not intolerable, but was still an intrusion in violation of §184-7 of the Town Ordinances. In particular, bass frequencies continue to penetrate the structure of any building near or abutting the Ithaca Beer property at distances in excess of 25 feet. In addition, although last year the Board refused to countenance any argument relating to the setting of precedent, especially as this related to the obvious future "creep" in the number and duration of incidents, the current year's application confirms the fact that exactly this increase has begun with more events and longer hours proposed. Dan Mitchell was accommodating last year, and did erect some hay -bale barriers. These may have been of some benefit in reducing the noise, and we want to acknowledge that. On at least one occasion, however, on a visit to the Ithaca Beer facility during a concert, it was noticed that, although the musicians were clustered in front of the "wall," their speakers were scattered at various unshielded locations. The purpose of the hay -bale wall is not a visually aesthetic one. To be effective in controlling sound, all of the speakers need to be located behind some form of hay -bale wall. Thus, we request that Ithaca Beer be extraordinarily conscious of the placement of all audio equipment. Every speaker needs to be located either behind and to the east of the main wall or, if remotely located, placed in its own revetment facing East. In addition regardless of placement, the hay bales need to be placed behind and around speakers in such a manner that there is, at a minimum, three feet of hay bale extending behind and on either side of the speaker up to a height of at least three feet higher than the top of any such speaker. Thank you for your consideration Sincerely, Robert W. Geiszler Joan E. Geiszler From: Larry To: Paulette Rosa Subject: Public Hearing -Ithaca Beer Cc Noise Permits Date: Thursday, April 4, 2019 6:42:42 AM Good morning, Please pass our comments relating to IBC's applications for noise permits along to the Town Board for consideration at the 4/8/19 public hearing. From our point of view, last year's events seemed to be well managed and did not create any objectionable noise issues for us. We credit this, in large part, to a willingness of the parties to work together to address our respective concerns. Given the time and energy that the Town Board invested in last year's permitting effort, we would ask that all of the prior year's stipulations, including a mid -season review be incorporated in this year's permits, if granted. Respectfully, Larry & Louise Sallinger Virus -free. www.avast.com From: Rima Grunes To: Paulette Rosa Subject: TB Resolution 2019-044 Date: Monday, April 8, 2019 7:21:06 PM Hello, I'm writing with some concerns about TB Resolution 2019-044, concerning the noise variances requested by the Ithaca Beer Company. I live in the Seven Mile Drive neighborhood. Although last summer, the sound level was somewhat less, the speakers were sometimes placed outside the bales of hay, and/or sometimes the bales were not as high has the speakers, so that the noise was still disturbing to our neighborhood. I see that there are more events, and longer events, for which they are requesting a variance. I see this as potentially problematic. If the Town wishes to grant the variances despite the ongoing problem, might there be a way at least to enforce the compliance?

The event will have a fundraising aspect for the festival. At most it would be a five piece rock band and we can request someone not heavy on drums. FYAH Release June 8th Is in conjunction with Reggaefest. We will be having a reggae band similar to the Reggaefest event we held last year just smaller scale. Grassroots Release June 15th This will be another collaboration with Grassroots Festival. Last year we did this as one of our Wednesday shows. We are hoping to have three bands play this year instead. The breaks will be between acts so music will not be continuous throughout the period. Musically they will be acts who perform at Grassroots who fall in the folk/indie style of music. Stage size is going to force the bands to be in a 5 piece range at most. Our September Event doesn't have a name yet but will be similar to the Grassroots Release. We are looking to have three folk/indie music acts perform that are no bigger than a 5 piece. The breaks will be between acts. Hoptoberfest October 12th Hoptoberfest will have the same setup and feel as last year. It will have hopefully three bands and will be folk/indie/rock in style. Bands for this event I could see getting up to maybe 6 people in size. There will be breaks between sets as well as breaks for awards and games with attendees. IBC Anniversary Party December 4th Will be tented and dependent on weather. The past few years we have used the Notorious String Busters as the performer and would hope to book them again. The music would be broken up by an MC to talk about IBC for some of the time. ac.I iiu' E,irit 3 HOTEL , BISTRIQ . SPA March 30, 2019 TO: Paulette Rosa Town Clerk - Town of Ithaca FR: Scott D.

Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency's reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity. If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Tips for completing Part 2: • Review all of the information provided in Part 1. • Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook. • Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2. • If you answer "Yes" to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section. • If you answer "No" to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question. • Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact. • Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency checking the box "Moderate to large impact may occur." • The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis. • If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub -questions for the general question and consult the workbook. • When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the "whole action". • Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts. • Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project. 1.

The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: • Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. • Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. • The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. • Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. • Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact • For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result. • Attach additional sheets, as needed.

PRINT FULL FORM I Page 2 of Part 3 — Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts and Determination of Significance Danby Road/Route 96B Sidewalk Project State Environmental Quality Review Full Environmental Assessment Form Action: Danby Road (Route 96B) Sidewalk Project Location: Sidewalk to be constructed along the east side of Danby Road, between the intersection of Alumni Circle and the City/Town of Ithaca municipal boundary Lead Agency: Ithaca Town Board Description: The project proposes to install a new sidewalk on the east side of Danby Road from the Ithaca College (IC) entrance at Alumni Circle to the Town/City of Ithaca municipal line. The sidewalk will be asphalt and eight feet wide from Alumni Circle heading north to Coddington Road and will match the material and width of the current IC sidewalk system. From Coddington Road heading northbound, the proposed sidewalk will be concrete and a minimum of five feet wide to the town/city municipal line. Wherever possible, a 5-foot setback will be provided for snow storage between the sidewalk and the edge of pavement or curb. ADA- compliant curb ramps will be installed at the side street crossings. At the northern project limit, the new sidewalk will match into the City of Ithaca sidewalk network. Approximately one third of the new sidewalk is proposed to utilize the outer narrower northbound travel lane at the project's northern end. Currently that lane tapers (ends) approximately 350 feet south of the town/city municipal line. The proposal is to extend the taper south, approximately 1500 feet from the city/town limit to accommodate the new sidewalk. Approximately 1700' of new curbing will be installed at this northern end, along with a tree lawn and sidewalk in the former lane space. Curbing currently exists, and will be maintained, throughout the rest of the new sidewalk corridor. The proposed sidewalk project is an Unlisted Action, pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, 6 NYCRR Part 617, and Town of Ithaca Code, Chapter 148 — Environmental Quality Review. 1. Impact on Land f. The proposed action may result in increased erosion, whether from physical disturbance or vegetation removal (including from treatment by herbicides). Briefly describe the impact on land: The proposed project will result in a physical change to the proposed sidewalk corridor with disturbance to approximately +/- 1.5 acres of land for development of +/- 3,550 feet (0.7 miles) of new sidewalk. The sidewalk will be constructed within the existing NYS road right-of-way, with the exception of a short segment near Alumni Circle where an effort to avoid a sloped area and trees may result in part of the sidewalk being installed on the college campus property. From Alumni Circle to approximately 400 feet north of Coddington Road the land along the project corridor consists of a series of residential and campus grass lawns containing some bushes and trees. From 400 feet north of Coddington Road to the city/town municipal line, the outer narrow (9 ft.) northbound travel lane will be converted from use as a motor vehicle lane to a sidewalk corridor with curbing and a tree lawn. The sidewalk will be located to avoid existing trees and vegetation as much as possible, as well as existing drainage and other utilities. The drawings on pages 37-45 of the Final Design Report identify trees (and their diameter size) within and adjacent to the area of disturbance. Trees shown on or within the limits of disturbance will need to be removed. Removal of approximately 12-15 trees appears to be necessary. The sidewalk will be installed on land having mostly a gentle grade, but immediately adjacent there exists areas with steeper slopes, such as along the roadway ditch near Alumni Circle and the steep sided hillside near the city/town line. Filling and grading will be needed throughout the project corridor to create a level surface for the sidewalk and to tie into the adjacent grades. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan will be prepared detailing measures to control erosion and stabilize disturbed slopes. Town staff will review and approve the final SWPPP when it is prepared. Based on the above information, impacts identified in this section can be considered small in magnitude. 3. Impact on Surface Water h. The proposed action may cause soil erosion, or otherwise create a source of stormwater discharge that may lead to siltation or other degradation of receiving water bodies. The proposed action may affect the water quality of any water bodies within or downstream of the site of the proposed action. 5. Impact on Flooding d. The proposed action may result in, or require, modification of existing drainage patterns. Briefly describe the impact on surface water and flooding: The proposal will result in additional impervious surface along the 0.7 mile stretch of road right-of-way, estimated at +/- 0.55 acres (24,000 SF). The project also includes approximately 0.25 acres (11,000 SF) of pavement removal from the elimination of the outer northbound lane. As indicated above, approximately 1.5 acres of land will be disturbed for construction of the sidewalk. While over 1 acre of disturbance for non-residential development would normally require a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) that incudes permanent water quality treatment facilities, current NYS regulations (SPDES General Permit No. GP-0-15-002, Appendix B) requires only a SWPPP with erosion and sedimentation control measures for construction of a sidewalk that is not part of a road/highway project (also applicable to bike paths and trails). As part of the final design, a SWPPP will be required for review and approval by town staff. Roadway runoff along the uncurbed sections of Danby Road is currently conveyed via roadside ditches to outlet points that cross underneath the roadway. There is one isolated closed drainage system at the eastern side of the intersection of Danby Road and the South Hill Business Campus. Leading up to the system is a concrete gutter, which is fed by the runoff from the roadside ditches. Drainage systems that are impacted by the proposed sidewalk will be replaced or modified as necessary to carry runoff to existing discharge points. In existing curbed sections, Danby Road runoff is conveyed to drainage inlets that drain to an underground pipe network. The pipes drain north to the existing closed drainage system within the City of Ithaca. New curb installation will require the installation of new drainage inlets and new pipes that would connect to the existing discharge points. During final design, it will be determined if connecting to the existing structures and maintaining the existing pipes would be feasible or if a totally new drainage system will be necessary. Frames and covers would be replaced and/or adjusted to meet ADA compliance and final grades as appropriate. No adverse impacts to drainage patterns or water quality are anticipated as a result of the project. Based on the above information, impacts identified in this section can be considered small in magnitude. 7. Impact on Plants and Animals b. The proposed action may result in a reduction or degradation of any habitat used by any rare, threatened or endangered species, as listed by New York State or the federal government. Briefly describe the impact on Dlants and animals: Animals listed as endangered or threatened that have been documented in the vicinity of the project site or that utilize the type of habitat that is present in or near the project site include the Northern long- eared bat (NLEB) and the Southern Grizzled Skipper. According to the NYSDEC's available online data for NLEB occurrences by NYS towns, no NLEB hibernaculum (winter habitat) or known roost trees (summer habitat) are in Tompkins County. However, trees with flaking and peeling bark are considered potential NLEB habitat for roost trees. Some trees within the project site and adjacent to the project site were observed with flaking or peeling bark. Based on existing project information, limited tree removal is expected to occur, and would occur during the inactive season for the NLEB. Tree removal will only occur within 100 feet of the existing roadway and will follow appropriate avoidance and minimization measures (AMMs). The Southern Grizzled Skipper has not been observed in the area since 1979 or earlier. The species was last observed in the South Hill Swamp area, southeast of the project site. There has been no recent information on the species and their current status there is unknown. Other threatened and endangered species in the area, including the black and gold bumble bee, the glaucous sedge and the reflexed sedge would not be expected to be present in the project site. The project work is along an existing roadway and does not contain suitable habitat for those plant and animal species. Based on the above information, impacts identified in this section can be considered small in magnitude. 10. Impact on Historic and Archaeological Resources b. The proposed action may occur wholly or partially within, or substantially contiguous to, an area designated as sensitive for archaeological sites on the NY State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) archaeological site inventory. Briefly describe the impact on historic and archaeological resources: The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP) Cultural Resources Information System (CRIS) website was reviewed to determine the location of any properties listed in or eligible for listing in the State and/or National Register of Historic Places (S/NRHP) at or adjacent to the proposed project. According to the CRIS website, there is one S/NRHP-eligible property within 500 feet of the Area of Potential Effect (APE), which is the Morse Chain Works Historic District (USN 10906.000380). An APE is the geographic area in which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause changes in the character or use of the historic property. A review of the NYSOPRHP CRIS website determined that the proposed project occurs partially within an archaeologically sensitive area. However, a review of CRIS indicated that there are no previously identified archaeological sites located within 1,000 feet of the APE. A review of the CRIS website also determined that three previous cultural resources survey have been conducted within a half mile of the proposed project APE. The proposed project occurs primarily within previously disturbed areas comprised of a paved roadway and immediately adjacent areas that have been disturbed by the installation and maintenance of existing utilities, infrastructure, and lawns. No intact/original soils are present within the project area or are anticipated to be disturbed; therefore, there is little to no likelihood that prehistoric or historic artifacts would be impacted by construction of the Project. Based on the above information, impacts identified in this section would be considered small in magnitude. 13. Impact on Transportation e. The proposed action may alter the present pattern of movement of people or goods. Briefly describe the impact on transportation: Currently, from the Alumni Circle to the city/town municipal line, Danby Road/96B consists of two travel lanes in each direction, with the northbound lane converging from two lanes to one lane approximately 300 feet south of the town/city line. The project proposes to extend the road taper south, and eliminate the outer northbound travel lane beginning approximately 1500 feet south of the town/city boundary. Use of the outer lane avoids the complexity of building the sidewalk in or along the very steep sloped area that exist immediately north of Rogen's Corners. Extending the taper by 1,200 feet is not anticipated to have a significant impact on traffic. Drivers traveling north into the city already have to prepare for the converging of the two lanes. This proposal just makes that convergence happen sooner. In addition, at 9-feet wide, the outer lane is not a normal width for this type of urban minor arterial road and is not as comfortable to drive in as the inner northbound lane. From a traffic capacity standpoint, Danby Road, within the project limits, currently operates at adequate levels of service during the morning and evening peak hours and the reduction in the lane is not anticipated to impact this. NYS Department of Transportation has granted approval for the lane taper. Construction activity for the sidewalk will not require an offsite detour. Vehicular traffic would be maintained on Danby Road at all times using a single lane closure in the eastern northbound lane. All work zones would be set up in conformance with the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) including provisions for maintenance and protection of pedestrian and bicycle traffic. A clearly marked travel way would be delineated with traffic signs, barricades, drums, cones, etc. as applicable. Access to residential properties would be maintained throughout construction or alternate accommodations provided. Bicyclists would be expected to continue to share the road with vehicles. Pedestrian access to residents will be provided by temporary ramps while the sidewalk is being constructed. Access for emergency vehicles and local deliveries would also be maintained. Construction at the side street intersection along Danby Road would be done using short term shoulder and lane closures on an as -needed basis. No detours would be required. Access would be maintained for local emergency service providers. Routes for emergency vehicles will be maintained and open during construction. The details for the work zone traffic control will be prepared and evaluated during final design. 4 The project offers a significant transportation benefit to the community by providing a safe alternative travel mode for students, residents, and visitors who live, work, and play on South Hill. The sidewalk is identified in the Town's Transportation Plan's 2007) Prioritized Pedestrian Corridor Needs map as an essential/recommended corridor for pedestrian infrastructure. Based on the above information, impacts identified in this section would be considered small in magnitude. 15. Impact on Noise and Light a. The proposed action may produce sound above noise levels established by local regulation. e. The proposed action may result in lighting creating sky -glow brighter than existing area conditions. Briefly describe the impact on noise and light: The project will create noise impacts during construction of the sidewalk. These impacts will be temporary and will cease once the project is completed. Lighting will be provided as part of the project in appropriate locations, specifically where street lighting will not provide adequate illumination for the sidewalk. The proposed lighting will comply with the town's Outdoor Lighting Law. Based on the above information, impacts identified in this section would be considered small in magnitude. Staff Recommendation, Determination of Significance A negative determination of environmental significance is recommended for the action as proposed, based on review of the materials submitted for the proposed action, the information above, and analysis of the magnitude and importance of the project impacts.
