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.D(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 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: Seconded: Vote: MEETING OF THE ITHACA TOWN BOARD April 8, 2019 TB Resolution 2019 - :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 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: Seconded: Vote: From:Larry To:Paulette Rosa Subject:Public Hearing-Ithaca Beer Co 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:Dawn Forman To:Paulette Rosa Subject:A positive endorsement for Ithaca Beer Co. music series Date:Tuesday, April 2, 2019 12:12:21 PM Hello!Unfortunately,IwillnotbeabletoattendthemeetingonApril8,2019aboutIthacaBeerCo.requesting approvaloftheirweeklymusicseries.LastyeartherewasameetingwiththeSheriff'soffice,theownerofIthaca BeerCo.,townofficialsandneighbors.Iattendedthatmeetingandlistenedlastsummertoseeifwewouldhear musicfromIthacaBeerCoatourhouseonthenightsthelivemusicwasbeingplayed.Icantellyouthatwedidnot hearitatourhome.TherewasnodisruptiontoourneighborhoodbecauseIthacaBeerCo.hadlivemusicoutside.I hopethatIthacaBeerCo.willagainreceivepermissiontoholdtheiroutdooreventsandcontinuetousethemethods theydidlastyeartoabatemusicfromcomingintoourcommunity.

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 A 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.Impact on Land Proposed action may involve construction on, or physical alteration of, NO YES 4 the land surface of the proposed site.

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.

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 . 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. Awill 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. 1 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. i. 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. 2 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 plants 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 NYSDECs 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 3 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 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.

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 . 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.

Moved: Seconded: Vote: MEETING OF THE ITHACA TOWN BOARD April 8, 2019 TB Resolution No. 2019- :Authorization for Supervisor to sign documents associated with the environmental review and alternative design approval for the Danby Road/State Route 96B Sidewalk Project Memorandum To: William D. Goodman Town Supervisor, Town of Ithaca From: Paul Presutti, PE Erdman Anthony Subject: Design Approval Request and Environmental Concurrence Request PIN 3950.62 Danby Road Sidewalk Project City of Ithaca, Tompkins County Date: February 28, 2019 Project Description, Cost & Schedule The project proposes to install a new sidewalk along Danby Road in the Town of Ithaca. Danby Road is classified as an urban minor arterial and is on the State Highway System. It is owned and maintained by the NYSDOT. Funding for the construction phase of the project will be provided by $1.13M in TAP Funding. The estimated construction cost is $1.03M. The project is planned to be constructed beginning in Spring 2020 and completed in Fall 2020. Key project schedule items are listed below: Design Approval Spring 2019 Start ConstructionSpring 2020 Construction CompleteFall 2020 Alternate Description This alternative provides for the installation of a new sidewalk on the east side of Danby Road between the intersection of Alumni Circle with Danby Road and the southern Town/City of Ithaca line. The proposed sidewalk will have a width of 8 feet from Alumni Circle heading north to Coddington Road. From Coddington Road heading northbound, the proposed sidewalk will be a minimum of 5 feet wide to the Town/City of Ithaca line. Wherever possible, a 5-foot setback would be provided for snow storage between the sidewalk and the edge of pavement or curb. ADA-compliant curb ramps would be installed at all side street crossing locations. At the southern project limit, the proposed sidewalk will match into the Ithaca College sidewalk system on the north side of Alumni Circle at the intersection of Alumni Circle and Danby Road. At the northern project limit, the new sidewalk will match into the City of Ithaca sidewalk network. The sidewalk would be located to avoid existing trees and vegetation as much as possible. In addition, the sidewalk would avoid existing drainage and other utilities as much as possible. This results in a portion of the project being located partially on Ithaca College property. Lighting would be provided as part of this alternative in appropriate locations, specifically where street lighting will not provide adequate illumination for the sidewalk. 145 Culver Road Suite 200 Rochester, NY 14620 (585) 427-8888 Design Approval Request and Environmental Concurrence Request March 8, 2019 Page 2 of 3 This alternative provides Road at the northern project limit. The curb would be installed to construct a curb taper further south than existing in order to provide space for the new sidewalk. The existing curb taper is located approximately 350 feet south of the Town/City of Ithaca border. The proposed curb taper will begin approximately 1500 feet south of the City limit. This will allow the proposed sidewalk to utilize the additional lane space that will no longer be accessible to motor vehicles. By utilizing this lane space, there will be less impact from the proposed sidewalk on the existing properties. Retaining walls will be installed as appropriate. A detailed description and preliminary plans for this alternative are included in Chapter 2 and Appendix A, respectively, of the attached Final Design Report. Standards & Design Exceptions The design is consistent with the standards listed in the NYSDOT Highway Design Manual (HDM). The design criteria were established based on a design speed of 45 mph on Danby Road. The design speed is consistent with the 85th percentile speeds of the roadway. There are two non-standard features on Danby Road including shoulder width and grade. Providing shoulder widths and grade that meets standard for this type of roadway would require significant impacts including roadway reconstruction and disturbance of existing development adjacent to the roadway. Furthermore, roadway reconstruction is not in the scope of work and is not part of the project objectives. Additional information regarding the non-standard feature can be found in Appendix D of the attached Final Design Report, dated March 2019. Traffic Control Plans The proposed work would 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 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 residences 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 intersections 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.
