I enclose a copy of the remarks Tom Salm delivered at the June 3Q�' meeting of the
Tawn of Ithaca Codes and Ordinances Committee. These comments reflect the
position vf Ithaca College regarding the town's proposal to re-zone three areas within
the South Hill area to Conservation Zane.
Independent of the proposal, we have begun the process of developing a master plan
for the campus. It is critical that we do that as a prelude to future decisions we face.
The timing of your proposal is unfortunate since we cannot adequately respond to your
ideas until we have done some planning and assessment of our future land use needs.
As we begin work on our master plan, we look forward to ongoing discussians with you.
If you would like to get together, I wauld be pleased to meet with you.
Sincerely,

Town o# Ifhaca`s Proposed Establishment of a South Hill Swamp
Conservatian Zone
Approximately six weeks ago, Ithaca College received its first copy of the Town
of Ithaca Conservation Board's report on the South Hill Swamp and
recammendation for establishment of a Conservation Zone. I met with Tawn
afficials on June 1 �, 1999 to inform them of our preliminary reaction ta the report.
In a word, the College is shacked with this propasa( which, through numerous
restrictions, would effectively preclude the Col(ege from using any of its
undeveloped land for its educational purposes. Thus, at this point in time, with
very limited opportunity to understand the report, the definitions within the report,
and if, in fact, all College develapment would be precluded, we must strenuously
abject to the inclusion of any of the College's properties in the proposed
Conservation Zone.
Let me try to put some context around the College's thinking conceming its land-
holdings on South Hill:
First, the College wishes to be a good neighbor in the Town, the County, and the
State. We are well aware of some of the natural treasures existing an land
owned by the College on South Hill. For instance, we know that the College's
24-acre parcel of land near King Road is a critical part of the Clausen swamp.
We have never seriously considered development in that area for that reason
alone. What we find alarming is that the euphemism of the swamp has been
used ta e�end far beyond the safety protection zones needed for the Clausen
swamp. The report's proposal for conservatian of the swamp, combined with a
buffer zone and suggestians that there are unspecified areas yet ta be explored,
appears to consume not aniy the 52°l� of land included in the proposed
Conservation Zone but virtually all of the rest of the College's landholdings.
Secand, in order not ta encroach on some af these sensitive areas, the College
has limited its campus grawth largely to the 250-acre parcel on which most of our
buildings currently stand. There is growing criticism that building density has
eliminated too much green area in the central campus. Completion of three new
buildings recently resulted in numerous comments about the lack af green space
today. Further develapment will undoubtedly be necessary, and we must look at
some of aur undevelaped land for such things as academic and residential
buildings, additional indoor and outdoor space for student recreation, practice,
and competitive sports as well as facilities for sueh infrastructure needs as
warehousing, craft shops, printing facility, etc.
I mention these items to remind people that the College must continue to change
and grow to remain competitive. Sorne of the functions mentioned abave can be
�
�

included in the already developed parcels af land, but others cannot. We have
always taken seriously the Town's request that we stay away from development
af our lands to the narth of aur main campus raad so as not to encroach on our
Danby and Coddington Raad neighbors. Again, we have tried ta be goad
neighbors, both to the narth and to the south, by confining our development to a
limited portion of our landholdings. It is not possible for us to do that farever and
we must shepherd our land resources for future generations that will be coming
ta Ithaca College.
Third, and maybe mast important, it has been our understanding that the Town of
Ithaca was interested in developing an education zone to reflect the inapprapriate
zoning that currently exists far the Callege. Ithaca Callege has now existed on
South Hill far almost 4Q years. We concur that it is time that the Town zoning
plan be changed to recagnize our existence.
Furthermore, we have had some discussians with the Town about the
development of a generic environmental impact statement for the College and
the Town. Dating back to about 1990, the College undertook a Master Plan
study that resufted in a number of new buildings, relocation of our main campus
road, and renovation of numerous existing buildings. About two years ago, I told
Jan Kanter, Town Planner, that we would begin ta update the Master Plan, and
we concluded that would be a logical beginning point for joint consideration af an
education zone and passibly a generic environmental impact review. We have
not been able to move as quickly as we had hoped an the Master Plan, but are
now under way. Our planning, coupled with appropriate review and
consideration of the educatian zone and the GEIS, certainly should precede
inclusion of any portion of College properties in a restric#ive Conservation Zone.
Fourth, the Conservation Baard's report raises more questians than it answers.
We simply need mare time to review and study the report. The College will want
to hire iis own consul#ants to review the 1997 Tawn inventory of the Sauth Hill
unique natural area. The Canservation Baard report makes numerous
references to a 1983 repart that may well contain outdated infarmatian. We are
further concemed that throughout the rep�rt are statements that wauld provide
grounds for opposition to uti(ization of College land for any human purpose
whatsoever. Certainly some of these concems rise from our lack af
understanding of terminalogy and ratings of such things as rare and scarce plant
species. But, references to undesignated buffer zanes, calls for further studies to
uncover yet more treasures and thus justify maybe even a broader canservation
zane appear to say "Ithaca Gollege you are not welcome on your own land"!
I have gone on longer than you probably wished for an information meeting. I
hope, howeuer, that I have conveyed the College's extreme concem about the
lass of use of College praperty for College purposes. We congratulate the
Conservation Baard's concem for protecting the College's and the Tawn's natural
resources, but the report cannot be acted upon in isolation. Much like the South
�
�
r +'�
Hill natural area is a community asset so is ithaca College in terms of its
economic, educational, social, and cultural contributions to the community.
We are troubled by such broad language as "preclude further development" and
"setting aside the majority af SHS as a natural area" as is found on Page 16 of
the report. We need sufficient time to understand the intent of such phrases; to
undertake our own inventory; to develop the Master Plan and to explore with the
Town the issues of an educatian zone and a passibly a generic environmental
impact review, if apprapriate.
Therefore, the College requests that none of its property be included in the
Conservation Zone until this work is complete and questions are answered. We
simply cannat accept the Canservation Advisory Board's report or covperate with
the Town if it proceeds with this designation prior ta reasonable review of the
questions I have raised.

Re: Schetiute fnr tne Ithaca Coilege Bi�iogicaf Survey
The purpose of this letter is to report on our progress in conducting the Ithaca Co�lege Biolagical
Survey during 1999 and schedule for 2000. We have cornpleted all of the �eld wark for the fall of
1999, which includes all of the field work for the wetland identification study. We have subrnitted
the draft interim vegetation repart for your review (dated November 4, 1999, and including a
discussion of managernent cansiderations and strategies )and the draft interim faunal report (dated
November 17, 19�). We were just notified that T. G. Miller surveyors have now completed
surveyin� of ihe flagged wetlands and we are planning on completing a draft report on wetland
identi�cations by Decernber 17, 1999. This date estimate is based on the assumprion that we will
have area determinations from Miller's in tirne to include in the draft. If this data is not available
by that date, we will submit the interim and supplement tha repaR with the wetland acreage values
when they becarne available.
1Vlore data will be collected in May and June 200Q for the faunal and vegetation surveys to be
completed by �June 15, 1999. According to our Scope of Work dated July 30, 1999, we have
comrnitted to providing the HC�LT team with draft �nal faunal and vegetation reports by July 31,
1999. Within two weeks %llowing reception of the HULT's cornments, we will submit a draft
final rePort far review by Ithaca College. Within two weeks of recegtion of the college's
comments, we will subrnit a final report.
Please feel frec to call if thcre are any questians.

Thanks for giving me an opportunity ta review the proposed Conservation Zone's
language. I have read it very carefully, and as you have painted out, many of the items
are things that are a(ready cansidered in the normal caurse of a site plan review. What
follows is in part my need for clarification or more information and, in a couple of cases,
requests for consideration for somewhat less restrictive language.
My comments and questians follow the numeric form of the sections.
Section 500 - No questions or comments.
Section 501 - No questions or comments.
Section 502 - Jon, we appreciate the proposal to add the word "College" as one of the
principal uses upon receipt of a special permit. 1 have two questions. First, is this
language intended to be general language for all conservation zones or just specifically
for the South Hill Conservation Zone? The reason I ask is if it is general language, I am
not sure that you wauld want to include College for all conservation zanes. Second, 1
understand why the College requires a special permit through planning approval, but I
am wondering what would happen if we end up with an institutianal zone that included
part of the Conservation Zone. Would special permits be required within an educational
zone? Maybe these are totally unrelated, but 1 am wondering if we need to anticipate
anything since, at some point, an institutional zone will become a question.
Section 503 - Can you tell me what goes in the blank following "...the procedures
contained in "?
1. Is there any way to reconcile the goals and objectives of the Conservation
Zone and those of Ithaca Callege? This may seem like a silly question, but
the purpase statement is so braadly written that it wauld be easy to argue that
any kind of Callege development would be inconsistent with the goals and
objectives of the Conservatian Zone. Is any kind of language clarification
possible?
4. Can you explain "...are designed to minimize the increase in impervious
surfaces on the site."? The reason I ask is that I would want to make sure we
had appropriate, not excessive, parking to support whatever function we
might locate in the area. Is this likely to be consistent with other rules of
thumb on parking, or does this have some special meaning?
Section 504 - No questians or comments.

Re: Follaw-up on Proposed South Hill Conservation Zone
Dear Tam:
Thank you far your letter dated February 2, 2000, regarding the timeframe for enactment of the
Town's proposed South Hill Conservation Zone. As I understand it, Ithaca Callege's
environmental consultants, Ichthyological Associates, will be conducting additianal wildlife and
vegetation surveys to be completed by June 15, 20{)0. Rather than waiting until those are
finalized into regorts, I would grefer that we set up a meeting at the earliest possible time after
those follow-up studies are done to discuss the details of those studies and ta evaluate how they
relate to the iindings af the Town's South Hill Swamp Repart (March 18,1999). The Town
Board had indicated previously that they would be willing ta hold aff an enacting the
Conservation Zone until June ar so to give Ithaca College time to camplete its environmental
studies. Why don't we target the end of June or beginning of July to resume our discussions of
the area ecalogy, so that we can update the Tovm Baard on aur progress saan after that. My hoge
is that we can complete our discussions with Ithaca Callege before the end af August. At the
very latest, the Town Board will want to resume its consideration of enacting the Conservation
Zone in Septeml3er.
I appreciate your written confirmation that Ithaca College will not seek approvals for any
development in the praposed Canservatian Zone area during 2Q0f}. Meanwhile, the Town looks
forward ta working with Ithaca Callege on its long range Master Plan.
Please let me know as soon as you hear from your consultants regarding their completion of the
environmental studies so that we can set�up a time to meet to discuss this further.
Sincerely,

the highest elevations in the Town. These wooded hillsides on South Hili are a prominent fea#ure
and visible from many surrounding areas in the Town. In ouilining the boundaries of the propased
Conservation zane, the Toum took ail of these factors into consideration, and determined that the
area identified should be considered as a contiguous, vibrant ecosystem with remarkable scenic
beau#y.
In the context of the above, the Tawn looks forward to working with Ithaca College on its long-range
master plan to ensure the schooPs long-term viability on SQuth HiIL The Town is amenable to
considering the possibiiity of establishing new lnstitutionai or Educatianal z�ning that could be
tailored more specifically to the needs o# #he College, and might help #o expedite the development
review and approval process on same of the Coilege's land holdings. We believe that the proposed
re-zoning of porti�ns of the �outh Hill to Conservation zon� is consistent with the additional
objectives of working with Ithaca Callege an its master plan and pursuing the possibility of an
Institutional or Educational zone.
1Ne eagerly await the opportunity to work with your cansultan#s regarding the results of the�r
environmental studies. We would like #o campare the results of their wark with that done by aur
Consenration Board, and then make some decisions on whether modifications to the ariginal
proposed Conservatian zone boundaries would be appropriate. We would like to bring this matter
back ta the Town Board as soon as possible. Thank you fo� your continuing caopera#ion.

Gaod morning. I have concerns (once again) with the misuse of Eastern
Heights Park, and the disregard for the rules and regulations. Since
Hiqh School has let out for the year last week, there have been constant
parties with laad music and underage drinking, and possibly drug use, at
the park after hours. There is the "early" party (9-11 PM} and the
"late" party (12-2 AM). There also is trash left in the lawns, parkinq
areas and thrown into the "woods" near the parking areas. One evening, a
small bonfire was startecl in the parking lot, and the evidence is still
present!! The rules and regulations posted at bath entrances to the park
stated that the park closes 30 minutes past dusk and that alcohol is
prohibited. This activity does not only pertain to late evenings, but
during the late afternoon and early evening hours. I have seen and heard
battles beinq tossed inta the woods, and have approached and requested
the individuals to pick-up with little resistance. Occasianally, I do
receive some resistance and I copy down license plate numbers, or if
they become belligerent, I mention that I will contact the Sheriff or
take pictures, and my requests are then honored.
I have cantacted the Sheriffs Department twice since 6/19, and respond
when they can. They are very busy and there no doubt more serious issues
which take priority. They did arrive on 6/21 and I expressed my concerns
with them, and they approached the individuals and dispersed the crawds.
Occasionally, the parties have dispersed by the time they arrive, due to
priorities. Last evening, 6/22, after graduation and after the
thunderstarms subsided, the parties resumed. This morning there are beer
bottles and other trash on the lawns, parking areas and in the woods by
the upper parking lot adjacent to the soccer field. The Parks Department
does a wanderful job an rnaintaining the park, has way too much ta do
with limited resources, and shauld not be required to patrol the area on
a daily basis to pick-up after these individuals.
Since the new Noise Ordinance was instituted recently in the Town of
Ithaca, ALL residents, not just South Hill residents, should not be
subjec�ed ta the constant load music and parties which occur. I will
continue to cantact the Sheriff when it becomes unbearable, but would
like same assistance from the Ton af Ithaca. In the past, I have been
infarmed to cantact the Sheriff by Town officials, since there is not
much they can do. The constant naise, garbage and parting is not the
anly issues, but the major ones. Individuals are STILL using the
entrance aff af Tudar for a through road, as they continue to drive
around the fence at the top of the driveway an the qrass, and exit on to
Skyvue. And vice-versa.
This does not include the 3 times that my mailbax has been run over or
pulled fram the ground. Each time I have contacted the Sheriff and filed
a complaint. They stata that it is difficult to catch the individuals
unless they are caught doing the act. There also is the speed of the
vehicles up and down Tudor Road, and into and out of the park is alsa a
huge issue, with no concern far the neighborhaod. There have been
incidents where I was coming hame up the hill and a vehicle was speeding
down the hill and caused me to go off the road an ta a lawn.
Is there any assistance that the Town of Ithaca can provide to address
my issues? Maybe contact the Sheriff and ask for routine patrols?
Possibly close off access to the parking lots, as a last resort? As in
the past but never received, a response will be qreatly appreciated.
Also, as requested in the past but never honored, I would like a Town
Board member to contact me concerning my issues and affer any
suggestions on how to correct/curb these angoing and never-ending
issues.
Thank you for your time and consideratian.

The prefened alternative features a bridge width that can accommodate four (anes of traffic, but only
three lanes will be accupied by vehicles. Previously, the Town had suggested that we build a three lane
bridge as a final section. If a three lane bridge is built adjacent to the existing bridge, the degree af the
centerline shift is rnuch greater than the shift associated with building a wider structure. Given the
existing curvature on Route 366, the lesser centerline shift results in impraved Raute 366 al'rgnment and
a flatter grade on Judd Falls Road. The new bridge will be 56' wide and the lanes and shoulders wiil be
designated to accommvdate two (6') shoulders, one ( 11') through lane in each direction , one (11') left
turn lane on Route 366 westbound will extend across the new bridge, and ane (11') wide section of
pavement wiil be hatched out between the eastbound lane and the westbound left turn lane.
2} Judd Falls Raad {JFR) realignment - Any alternative to replace the Route 366 bridge with a northerly
shift of the centerline causes the need to reconstruct the JFR intersection with Raute 366 due to the
downgade of JFR . The preferred alternative features the relocation of the JFR intersection with Route
366, to the east approximately 200' from the existing lacation. The eastern shift of the JFR raadbed
fallaws the existing hillside contour and results in a smooth connection to Route 366. The added
distance between the intersections allaws an increased left turn lane starage length for the westbound
vehicles on Route 366 turning southbound onta Pine Tree Road. A left turn lane will be provided for
eastbound veh'retes on Route 366 turning northbound onto relocated JFR. This turn lane will begin on
the east end of the new bridge and will accommodate nine cars. The proposed raadway width will not
preclude the Town's ability ta redirect traffic on JFR as one-way southbound or northbound in the future.
Yau raised the issue regarding the sight distance for vehicles entering Route 366 from relocated JFR.
The sight distanee would be decreased, but still conforms ta allowable design standard length. The sight
tirne is estimated to be approximately 10 seconds, and the distance is approximately 625' uphill to the
east. The added benefit of the level grade for the connection at the Route 366 intersection is a
cansiderable safety irnprovement. Relacated JFR would cantinue to intersect Carnpus Road as it exists.
3) Fedestrian and Bicyclist Accommodatian - There aze twa options that are available for the safe
passage of pedestrians and bicyclists to be buiit as part of the permanent features. Please note that
pedestrian traffic wiil be maintained during the period of construction under both options presented
below.
tion 1 includes construction of one 5' wide sidewalk on the north side of the new bridge. The walk
wauld extend from the Wilson Lab Drive entrance at Route 3b6 and end at the east end of the new bridge
as it would transition to the 6' shoulder area being constructed. The abandoned roadbed of JFR would be
left in place for aecess to Corne11's Campus Road. The sidewalk would increase the bridge width to 51'.
During constructian, two 5' shoulders would be pravided to accommodate gedestrians and bicyclists.
Option 2 includes the construction of a separate bridge structure spanning Cascadilla Creek downstream
and in between the new highway bridge and the Wilson Lab Drive bridge. The ped/bike bridge wauld be
built 10' wide to allow both pedestr'rans and bikers to use the facility. A cannectian of paved trail would
lead from Wilson Lab Drive to the new bridge and then proceed to the east to cannect to the abandoned
roadbed of JFR to allow the users direct access to Cornell's Campus Road. No sidewallc would be
canstructed on the highway bridge. This aption was developed in response to the Town and the
bicyclists' outgouring of comments regarding the safety of gedestrians and bicyclists as they travel
between Pine Tree Raad and the Cornell campus. During canstruction, the separate ped/bike bridge
would be c�nstructed prior to beginning wark an the highway bridge and restriction of the travel way
width associatad with the stage constructian.

Subject: Cornell/Town Transpartation Study
Cathy,
I read about the transportatian study that was launched last month in a joint effort between the tawn and Corneil
and would be interested in serving on any committees or providing consulting services. Planning and traffic
issues are a constant part of my daily rautine and I have a!ot of ideas about traffic mitigation. 1 can also provide
computer modeling {both voluntesr and law cost) of growih scenarias far the hypothetical studies that are
planned. Please let me know how i can help.

Re: Protecting our trees during Hanshaw Rd
reconstruction
I spoke to a Cooperative Extension agent abaut the possible impact an aur trees of the road
reconstruction. She told me that in arder to better protect the roots, drainage pipes {under the
swales} can be inserted harizontally --from the side--rather than from the top. By using
this procedure the roots are less disturbed or damaged.
Even though this method would cost more, it would be worth the additional cast ta protect the
trees. Given the many benefits that urban trees provide--environmental, ecanamic, social, etc.--I
ask that you continue to do everything possibie to help us protect our trees.
Thank you.

If you are not the appropriate authority to address this issue please
advise me as to whom I should contact.
Additionally, I would like a legal dacibellnoise limit sign posted on
the road, much like the ones posted on either side of highway 13 coming
into Ithaca. Semi-truck traffic has increased on the highway and pasted
noise limits combined with a lower speed limi� may alsa help with same
of the noise issues tha� this neighborhoad is experiencing.
Thank you very much very your concern and action.

Re: Forest Home Traffic Calming Plan
Dear 1VIs. Binns:
As Supervisor of the Town of Ithaca and Chair of the Town's Capital Projects and Fiscal Planning
Cammittee, I arn writing to ask far your help in sending us a copy of the Forest Harne Traffic Calrning
Plan and in working with the Town in campleting that Plan. It has been aver ane-and-a-half years since
we have heard anything about the Draft Plan when Forest Hame held a series of workshops in early
March 20Q5. As I am sure you knaw, the Plan was initiated a number of years earlier, and the Town of
Ithaca contributed funds toward the preparation af the Plan.
The Capital Projects and Fiscal Planning Committee has been cantemplating a reconstruction project for
Forest Home Drive far several years, and each year that praject has been deferred in part because we
have no information regarding the Traffic Calming Plan. The Forest Horne Drive project is currently
scheduled far 2010 in the Capital Improvement Pragam. It has come to a point at which the Town
needs the information in the Traf�'ic Calming Plan if we are going to be able to incarporate e]ements of
that Plan into the Forest Home Drive praject. In addition, if there are other elements of the Plan outside
of the limits of the Forest Home Drive praject, which would be eligible for Tawn funding, the Town
will need that informarion to factor into the Capital Improvement Program.
It has been frustrating that the Plan has taken so lang to camplete, and that the Town has nat been part
of the process of finalizing the Plan up ta thispoint. I would appreciate anything you can do to help
move this pracess to completian and to get us a copy of the Plan as early in January as possible so that
we can begin ta consider elements af the Flan in the Capital Projects Committee's work, which will
begin in January 2007. If it would be helpful, the Town would be happy to participate with the Forest
Home Improvement Association in holding additional workshaps with the cornrnunity after we have had
time to review the details af the Plan. Thanks in advance for your help.

RE: Caddingtan Road Praject
ASTRID C_ G�YNN
ACTING COMMISSIONER
Thank you for your March 30'E' letter. The State Department of Transportation (DOT} and the
County DC}T are pleased that you toak the time to visit with us canceming the Coddington Road project on
March 24`�. Your letter contains many questions pertaining to this meeting, that will be addressed based on
the order discussed.
First, you indicate that it is "impossible for residents to camment fully" when "even the project
limits have not been established". This project has evolved since its inception and the public has been part
of that evolution process. At the last public rneeting held an December 11, 2006 the County indicated that
they needed to defer the northern portion of the project due to insufficient funding to complete that section
of the highway. The county shared with the public the general limits af work that they would like to put
inta construction first. Refinernent of the highway work iimits will occur as the County and their consultant
proceed into the final design phases of the project. We do nat expect this refinement ta result in any
significant changes that would adversely impact property awners or the traveling public. �The current
project repart of record is the Draft Scoping/Design Repart dated December 2005. This draft report does
not reflect the revised project limits ar how the County plans to minimize impacts to the property owners.
Property impact reduction changes as a result of public input include, instaliatian of gutters and including
them in the shoulder width, installation of retaining walls, and building less than standard highway
profiles. All of these items are the result of public involvement and will be incorporated in the Final
Design Report. This repart will be made available far public comment when the document has been ..
updated with the most recent informatian. The County has held multiple public meetings on this project to
try and build consensus on rnany of the controversial transportation issues.
Second, you inquire as to "when the decision on the scope of the environmental review will be
made and by wham". This project must follow both the State Environmental Quality Review Act
(SEQR.A} and the National Envzronmental Policy Act (NEPA}. NEPA and SEQR are required as both
Federal and State funds are being used to progress this job. Each act has separate sets ofrequirements, but
in general the NEPA laws satisfy the SEQRA requirements. The environmental determinations are made
once the feasible alternatives are eval�aated and environmental impacts determined. The design report
document needs to address any environmenta.l concerns that are cavered under NEPA or SEQR. The
County, the Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration in coordination with
other participating agencies (DEC, Army Corp. af Engineers, SHF4, etc.} must agree with the
environntental determination.

RE: lidUTE 96 RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY
TOWN OF ITHACA,
TOMPKINS COUNTY
This letter is in response to your correspondence dated August 6�', 2007, and as a result of
the meeting with �Keith Van Gorder of this office at the intersection of Hayt's Road and I�tYS
Route 96 in the Town of Ithaca on Friday, August 3"�.
As we understand it, circumstances beyond yaur control may force the closing of your
current driveway along Hayt's road, farcing the everyday use af the existing driveway along
Route 96 {Trurnansburg Road) near its intersection with Hayt's road to access yaur property.
We have several concems with the possibility of this becoming yaur sole access to the
properiy, including the following: �
1. Although we have done no formal reseazch of the intersection, there may also
be same significant accident history at this location accarding to your
documents, including a previous accident history of the intersection from the
early 1990's.
2. Assuming the current drive along Hayt's raad is rendered unusable, the
Department cannot farcibly close your current driveway alang Raute 96 as this
would permanently deny you with access to your own property, essentially
relegating it to a landlacked parcel.
3. The 75' (+/_} distance from the driveway to Hayt's road is well shart of the
150 recarnrnended distance from an intersection to a driveway.
4. The grade of Route 96 increases stapping sight distance, and the grade and
alignment angle of Hayt's raad results in paor visibility when approaching the
intersection with Route 96.
4 �
August 10, 2047

Mr. Salvatore Grippi
Given these factors, we fumly believe that yau shauld gursue any ather alternatives
available to access your property other than using the drive alang State Raute 96 for everyday
accessibility.
If you have any further questions or cornments canceming the abave, you rnay contact
Keith Van Corder of this office at (607) 756-7072.

Re: Springwood Townhomes .
Deaz Mr. Schaye:: . ' '
Ttie Town Clerk forwarded your letter dated February 9, 200G and the attached Notice of Claim regarding
Springwaad Tovvfl Hames to me for a response. �'
On November 27�' and 28�' a Town of Ithaca water main was repaired and during the course of the work a_
partion af Mr. Monkemeyer's driveway was cut and removed. The easement for the water main allaws the
Town access to repair the water main under the condition that disturbed areas are to be restored within a
reasonable time periad. The Town's practice for winter water main repair work under paved areas is to
backfill the excavatian with compacted gravel and crushed stone and then to place a temporary cold patch
in the paved area. Dae to the nature af a water mairi break there is usually subsequent settling of the fill
material and the final hot asphalt, patch is usually not applied immediately to allow the excavation to
stabilize over a period of a week or two. Water main repairs that.occur in the winter months cannat have
the permanent patch applied unril spring when tt�ere is no frost in the graund and hat asphalt is available.
During the time tliat the temparary patch is in place Town staff monitor the repair periodically and ensure '
that any settlement or crumbling is regaired. We understand that winter weather and snow removal can
result in a failure of the patch, and the Town responds immsdiately if the property owner discovers a
problem and notifies the Town's Public V�orks Department at 2'73-1556. To my knowledge no contact was
made to the Town regarding an immediate problem prior to this Notice of Claim.
The Town of Ithaca has made several repairs on the subject property in past years and has always restored
the property. Based an this we assumed that Mr. Monkemeyer was aware of the Tawn's repair process and
no special cantact was made with him regarding the repair schedule.
Town Staf� will contact Mr. Monkerneyer priar to the final repair work this spring to ensure that finished
product is adequate. Please contact the Public Works Department at 273-1656 if additianal problems are
discovered.

Ithaca, NY 14850
Dear Mr. Cappucci,
I visited your home with Fred Noteboom, Highway Superintendent, Daniel
Walker, Director of Engineering and Rich Schoch, Parks Maintenance Manager
in late February. We all agree that the Town's wall is in fair condition, but we are
willing to enclase your ditch for you, if you would like.
I also checked on your taxes. In 2004 you were assessed at $354,400,
your town tax was $446.19, fire tax was $1,357.94, sewer was $65 and water
was $65. The remaining balance af the bill was County taxes, not town taxes.
In 2005 you were assessed at $390,000, your town tax was $538.20, fire
tax was $1,496.04, sewer was $65 and water was $65. In 2006 you were
assessed at $413,000, your town tax was $694.�1, fire tax was $1,544.65, sewer
was $30 and water was $80. The remaining balance each year was County tax.
1 agree that the property tauces are too high and must be controlled. I
made budget cuts last year. �ur sales tax revenues were down and fuel and
other costs were up. I will be looking at more cuts in our budget for 2007 to try to
control tax increases.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Sincerely,
Catherine Valentino

I ask that you do all in your power to help IC students become res�ectfiil members of the
Ithaca community. I receive the Ithaca Colle�e Quarterly and am aware of some of the
graduate's achievements. Ithaca College takes great pride in the actuevements af Michael
A. Battle, David Boreanaz, Diane Frankle Storck and others. Do the current students have
the right to trash their Ithaca neighborhoods on the way ta achieving their life goals? These
students do not seem ready to live off campus. They need your supervision, more limits,
and consequences.
This has become a problem for the palice, the landlords, the neighbors, and the Town of
Ithaca. It now needs to become a problem for the immature Ithaca Cailege students. Please
work with your students to resolve the problems.
Please resgond to me at the above address as saon as passible,
Sincerely,
Patty L. Porter

Dear Ms Valenfiino,
3/6/06 Copy Town Board
Kinga M Gergely
106 Juniper Drive
Ithaca, NY 14854
February15, 2006
In anticipation of the warmer weather, when students bring their parties out
af doors, I would like to bring to the attention of Town government the
problems we are facing living on Sauth Hill.
First, is the noise volume coming from students living on Pennsylvania
Avenue and Kendall. As I sit here, it's a nice balmy day and students are
already aut whoaping and hollering. During the day as I am busy it's easy to
block it out, but at night sound carries even further and it's not unusual to
be awakened every few minutes ta primal screams, loud lag`'�ter, cars coming
and going, doors slamming, car engines. When we call the s�ieriff, the usual
answer is that they are working on it but there is not much they can do.
Some parties are so out of hand even the police have a hard time getting
through the crowd. There has not been any amplified music lately, but the
noise goes on until three and four in the morning. In order for the sheriff to
enforce the noise ordinance, I believe we need to make some changes in the
ardinance and giving our law enforcement officers more muscle in crowd
controf.
The second frustratian is the number of cars that are parked perpendicular
to Coddington Road, backing out without having a clear view of traffic. Most
of these properties (and 1 counted 11 parking areas between Juniper and
Pennsylvania Avenue) have areas to create parking in the back, where they
might be able to turn around and reenter Coddington nose first. This problem
was addressed before, without any results.
I would appreciate the Town looking inta and �inding solutions to these
problems that seriously effect the quality of our lives.
Respectfully,
Kinga M Gergely

11 Q Pineview Terrace — There is a general disarray af "junk" in yard, drive and an the
porch as well as high weeds at cul-de-sac azea. Recently large amounts of water has heen
paoling in his yard fram the road abave. It is unable to drain and is a mosquito-breeding
hazard. Needs to drain with a culvert under his driveway to creekside below. Town
resolution might be helpful since it appears to come from the road above his sub level lot.
111 Pineview — drainage paoling at the end of their drive again. The Town did address a
chmnic drainage problem at the end of Pineview at the cul-de-sac in front of 111
Pineview, south side af his driveway. Despite the good work some pooling recurred this
year. The property owner nadfied the town early this year but there has been na
correction as af this letter.
109 Pineview — a pile of flagstone used for an entry marker lays in a"heap" at the
driveway and raad. (Knoeked over by vehicle). This has been there for 6 manths and the
pile of stone obstructs the drainage grate (starm sewer) installed by the Town 2-3 years
ago.
10'7 Pineview — This properky borders Pineview and Hickory P1ace. They often do not
mow to road because of the ditch an Hickory Place. Could you install a culvert and even
it to the road as suggested above sa they could mow ii without danger and difficulty?
1 Q6 Pineview — Owner occupied home with rental unit attached. Raikoad ties (removed
from present landscape have lied along the street side over a year. Please have them
removed by owner. Rental unit parking is insu�cient. Usually two cars are pazked on
the street, especially during the academic year. While turning from Hickory Piace to
Pineview it is dif�'icult to not hit the cazs as they aze in roadway nearly every night.
Suggest owner widen driveway ta make adequate off-street parking for tenants. Because
tenants don't like to shovel snow they park on the street. The snawplow has great
difficulty navigating and cl�earing thraugh this stricture toa.
101 Pineview — The owners do not mow grass autside of their fence. Because af the
drainage ditches bardering their property on both Pineview and Juniper it is difficult to
get at this area. A solution might be to put in culvert, gravel, soil and grass seed so they
can mow both areas without danger and di�culty.
109 Juniper — brush piles in front and side for two years plus! Either they aze unaware of
Town brush pick up or choose to ignore the wonderfiil service. The ditch in front also is
full of gangly weeds that are an eyesore. Perhaps a culvert, gravel, soil and grass seed
caver application is appropriate here too. Owners can't manage the slopes and shouldn't
be asked to.
1 U3 Juniper — ditches aze again an unsightly problem and are difficult to rnow. Put in
culvert, gravel, sail and seed as above sa resident can mow.
104 Hickory Place — Brush, cut trees (stumps), limbs lay strewn thraughout their property
and it "creates degradatian throug,h unsighdiness", stated in Praperty Maintenance 205-1
(continua.tion of 104 Hickory Place)
1. Also their praperty border along Pineview is unkempt, noi mowed and the ditch
prablern exists here which compounds their ability to mow it.

Toward that end, we would like to request the apportunity to present your committee with a
community petition seeking a design modification to 10 faot travel lanes and the same four
foot paved shoulders. VUe would further like to request the following accammodations:
1 j Drainage under the shoulders ta minimize road width, and
2} Stop signs at the Ithaca College entrance, Troy Road and East KingBurns Road
intersecctions for safetyftraffic calming.
The first item will increase costs while the second will greatly reduce them, compared
especially to the extensive work planned at the Bums road intersection. In this way, we
believe the needs of the County and the residents can both be accammodated. Seeking
any deviations from standard road specifications will of course take same effort, but the
NYSDOT's website in its Conteact Sensitive Solutions section indicates the recognition of
just such a need and opportunity. Nor are these issues limited to Coddingtvn Road.
Indications are that residents of Ellis Hollow Road are voicing many of the same issues and
a remarkably similar cantext. We do hope your Committee recognizes the issues as
��'c oonsi�era�ons, the autcome of which will affect the character of much of the County for
aur lifetimes.
Thank you for considering this request. We hope for the opportunity to present our �etition
in person so as to be available to answer any questions the Committee rnay have.
Sincereiy,
(Signatures on the original copy}
