M . at Town Hall , 126 East Seneca Street , Ithaca , New York . PRESENT : Chairman Henry Aron , Edward Austen , Edward King , Town Attorney John Barney , Zoning Enforcement Officer/ Building Inspector Andrew Frost . ALSO PRESENT : Sue Gillis , Al Gillis , Bruce Vanek , Grace Saatman , Raymond Saatman . Chairman Aron stated that the first matter before the Board was Cornell University in regard to Cornell Graduate Housing . He read a letter into the record that he received from Cornell University , signed by David I . Stewart , Assistant to the Vice - President , dated July 14 , 1989 and which is attached hereto as Exhibit # 1 . He then read a letter into the record to David I . Stewart from him , dated July 17 , 1989 ( attached hereto as Exhibit # 2 ) . Next , he read a letter signed by Susan Cohen and Michael Singer , dated July 21 , 1989 , attached hereto as Exhibit # 3 . Chairman Aron said that since • he has written the letter and the withdrawal of Cornell University ' s request for housing for Undergraduate Students at Maplewood Park is official , with the permission of the Board members if there are no further objections , he will declare the matter moot . There were no objections from the Board members . Chairman Aron called the public meeting to order at 7 : 10 p . m . and stated that all posting , publication and notification of the public hearing had been completed and that proper affidavits of same were in order . The first Appeal on the Agenda was the following . ADJOURNED APPEAL ( FROM MAY 10 , 1989 ) OF PAUL JACOBS , APPELLANT , REQUESTING VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF ARTICLE XIII , SECTION 59A , PARAGRAPH a ) , OF THE TOWN OF ITHACA ZONING ORDINANCE , TO PERMIT THE PLACEMENT OF A SATELLITE DISH ANTENNA , 10 FEET IN DIAMETER , ON THE ROOF OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING LOCATED AT 182 CALKINS ROAD , TOWN OF ITHACA TAX PARCEL NO . 6-33 -2 - 1 . 21 RESIDENCE DISTRICT R- 30 . SAID ORDINANCE PERMITS ONLY A FREE-STANDING DISH ANTENNA WITH A DIAMETER OR HEIGHT OF 15 FEET OR LESS . • 1 Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals July 26 , 1989 2 • Chairman Aron referred to a letter that was received from Bruce Vanek , Owner of Satellite Consultants , which is attached hereto as Exhibit # 4 . He asked Mr . Vanek to explain to the Board in layman ' s terms what he stated in technical terms in his letter , which is undated . Mr . Vanek addressed the Board and explained why the satellite had to be placed on the side of the house as it was . He said that with Mr . Jacob ' s property being surrounded by hills and trees it was the only place that they could get the reception that they needed to have . Chairman Aron asked Mr . Vanek , if in his opinion , Mr . Jacobs , who expended quite a bit of money for that dish , had no other choice but to put it where it is . Mr . Vanek stated that is correct . Mr . King asked Mr . Vanek if they considered using a free - standing satellite and if they were aware of the Town ' s Ordinance prohibiting placing a dish antenna on a roof . Mr . Vanek replied that where Mr . Jacobs is located and the way his lot is , where it is is the best place . In regard to the Ordinance , he felt that it was not on the roof ; it was on the side of the house . He has since read the Ordinance and he feels that some of the Ordinance is unfair from what the FCC laws say but that is not the issue • here now . Discussion followed on the hills and the woods surrounding Mr . Jacobs ' house and the satellite dish that was mounted on the house . Chairman Aron opened the public hearing . No one appeared to address the Board . Chairman Aron closed the public hearing . Mr . King stated that he is not convinced that the antenna has to be where it is . Mr . Vanek responded that in some instances , if the people have the clearance and a hill is not to the west , it won ' t matter , in that case there could be a free - standing satellite installed and it would work for those cases . Mr . King read from the Ordinance in regard to free - standing dish antennas . Mr . Frost stated that if we assumed that a free - standing dish was one that was supported by poles and guide wires , he is not sure but that that would be more obtrusive looking than one sitting on a roof . Mr . King asked Mr . Vanek how far above the roof line the height of the satellite dish is . Mr . Vanek replied that he believes that it is about 7 feet . Town of Ithaca 3 Zoning Board of Appeals July 26 , 1989 Mr . Austen asked Mr . Jacobs how close he is to his nearest neighbors . Mr . Jacobs said that he is about 100 feet from the property line . It is a dead - end road and there is one house past his property . Mr . Austen made the following motion . RESOLVED ,, that the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals grant and hereby does grant a variance from Article XIII , Section 59a , permitting an antenna not to exceed 10 feet in diameter to be mounted on the side of the house as shown in the photographs taken by the Town ' s Zoning Officer , with the following findings ; 1 . That due to extenuating circumstances where the property is shielded by a hill on the west and to get a proper signal , the antenna is required to be on the roof . 2 . No neighbors appeared before the Board to object to the position of the antenna . 3 . That the house sits in a heavily wooded area on a dead - end road with one house beyond it . 4 . There is no other feasible location for the antenna without extreme removal • of woodland . 5 . That Mr . Bruce Vanek from Satellite Consultants appeared before the Board and explained the reasons for locating the antenna in the location it is in . 6 . There is no Television Cable at this location . Mr . King stated that he would like to say that he is very much inclined to vote against granting this variance for the reason that the Town took considerable pains to pass the law restricting the placement of satellite dishes in residential districts . Mr . King further stated that he will vote for this tonight only because he sympathizes with the fact that Mr . Jacobs has the antenna already installed . It is a beautiful house and he is sure that Mr . Jacobs is not trying to devalue his own property . He is in a cul - de - sac , a dead - end road , where he does not affect too many people . Town of Ithaca 4 Zoning Board of Appeals July 26 , 1989 Mr . King then seconded the motion . The voting on the motion was as follows : Ayes - Austen , King , Aron . Nays - None . The motion was carried unanimously . The next Appeal before the Board was the following . APPEAL OF ALBERT P . AND SUSAN E . GILLIS , APPELLANTS , REQUESTING AUTHORIZATION BY THE BOARD OF APPEALS FOR THE EXTENSION OF A LEGAL NON-CONFORMING SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE ON A LEGAL NON-CONFORMING BUILDING LOT , LOCATED AT 112 BURNS ROAD , TOWN OF ITHACA TAX PARCEL NO . 6 - 56 -2 - 11 . RESIDENCE DISTRICT R- 15 . SAID EXTENSION PROPOSES THE CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITIONAL LIVING SPACE ON THE WEST SIDE OF SAID RESIDENCE WHICH HAS AN EXISTING REAR YARD BUILDING SETBACK OF 4 + OR- FEET , WHEREAS A - 50 -FOOT SET BACK IS THE . STANDARD FOR • IRREGULAR-SHAPED LOTS . SAID ADDITION WILL NOT DIMINISH THE CURRENT 4 - FOOT + OR - REAR YARD SET BACK , HOWEVER , THE ADDITIONAL SPACE WILL BE 7 + OR - FEET FROM THE REAR YARD PROPERTY LINE . SAID BUILDING LOT HAS A LOT DEPTH OF APPROXIMATELY 100 + or - FEET , WHEREAS 150 FEET IS THE STANDARD . Chairman Aron read the description . Mr . and Mrs . Gillis submitted to the Board , which is attached hereto as Exhibit # 5 , He also read a letter from R . Wade Schuette , dated July 26 , 1989 , ( Exhibit # 6 ) and a letter from Nancy Gabriel , dated July 22 , 1989 ( Exhibit # 7 ) . Mrs . Susan Gillis addressed the Board and presented a survey map of her property made by T . G . Miller , P . C . , dated June 16 , 1989 , attached hereto as Exhibit # 8 . She explained that the reason for the request to put the addition to the west is because there is an easement across their property from NYSE & G for a power line , they have to keep a 50 foot distance from that power line . The house is on a knoll which is relatively level but it begins to pitch off to the east so it is not practical to try to do any kind of an addition toward the east . Mrs . Gillis said that they need to hook up to the Town of Ithaca sewer and their plans include that but there is a nine - foot gradient from the hook -up point at the beginning of the driveway . If they were to • go to the east they would not be able to utilize that gradient . Ms . Gillis said the other thing is structurally to be able to integrate any new structure and tie it in with the existing Town of Ithaca 5 Zoning Board of Appeals July 26 , 1989 house ; it has to be on that level spot at the west . She said that their existing home is less than 800 square feet but those constraints of slope and power line and the sewer limit them and that is the hardship . Chairman Aron opened the public hearing . Mr . Raymond Saatman , adjoining property owner , addressed the Board and stated that they have concerns that during the construction period things will spill over into their yard . He remarked that the Gillis ' have a very limited amount of space in which to turn around , etc . He presented a photograph to the Board that showed that part of the Gillis driveway is actually on his property . Chairman Aron stated that the Gillis would be responsible for any damages to the Saatman ' s property . Ms . Gillis remarked that they could certainly put up some kind of a fence or barricade so that the trucks and back hoe could not drive on the adjoining property . Mrs . Grace Saatman said that they were not informed on the intention to build and she questioned the intent of any statement made here because they do not have the best of relationships as neighbors . She stated that Ms . Gillis spoke of the original house . What is outlined in the photos is not the original house . She pointed out to the Board where the original house was . What Mrs . Gillis was referring to was an addition at which time there was a legal agreement made to allow an extension in the boundary to give them that 4 foot right - of -way . She does not find that they particularly honored that as she would like them to honor it as a neighbor and she really questions their ability to work with a contractor within 7 feet in building that addition . Mrs . Saatman asked what protection do they have if they accept some expression of the Gillis verbally tonight . She said that she is concerned that they be protected . Mr . King asked Mrs . Saatman to show him on the survey map the 4 feet that she referred to . Mrs . Saatman showed the Board on the map what she was talking about . Town Attorney Barney asked Mrs . Saatman how has it not been honored ; it looks to him like someone conveyed by deed . Mrs . Saatman said that she means that the Gillis as being neighbors , if they want to use their ( the Saatman lot ) , she thinks as owners , they should have mentioned it to them . Atty . Barney said that he has not heard the Gillis say that they want to use the Saatman ' s lot . Mrs . Saatman said that she is stating that to the intention of what the Gillis state tonight of what they will do , which she would like to accept , but she is saying that the Gillis already consider part of that lot as theirs ; the lot that is next to the • Town of Ithaca 6 Zoning Board of Appeals July 26 , 1989 west end of their house . She mentioned three bird feeders that are hanging in the tree that is on her land . It is little things like that that are annoying . Mrs . Gillis said that there is a conveyance back in the deed somewhere for that triangle to construct an addition on the house but she can not tell the Board when that was . She said that they have lived there for 15 years and it was done way before that . In response to Chairman Aron ' s question , Mrs . Gillis said that the reason they have decided to do this addition now is mainly financial ; they can afford to add onto their home at this time and they have a teenage daughter who needs to have more room . Chairman Aron asked if the 800 square feet of their house include the bathroom and the closets . Mrs . Gillis said , yes , that is the total floor space of the house . Chairman Aron closed the public hearing . Town Attorney Barney asked the Saatman ` s if they are opposed to the proposed construction . Mrs . Saatman replied that • they would be happier if it were going to be further away so that they felt that they wouldn ' t end up with any encroachment on their property . Mr . Austen stated that it looks like a very difficult site . Mrs . Saatman said that it is a sizeable addition . It is not a modest addition compared to the size of the house as it is now . Chairman Aron interjected that the addition according to the records before the Board is about the same as the existing house , square footage wise - 1600 square feet . Mr . King said that it will still be a relatively small house . Mrs . Saatman said that not many of us look to expand our house by 100 percent . They knew they were buying a small lot when they bought it . Mr . King said that it is a one acre lot . Chairman Aron said that there are some circumstances on that lot , as Mrs . Gillis explained to the Board , that they could do differently provided that the terrain would allow it . Mrs . Saatman said they could buy some right - of -way as the previous person did and put a reasonable boundary around their addition . That is another consideration that might be brought up . Mr . King asked Mrs . Saatman if she is suggesting that she is willing to sell the Gillis , a piece of land so they would have a greater separation . Mrs . Saatman responded that it would probably protect them to make a formal agreement of what would then be a little more around their construction site . • Town of Ithaca 7 Zoning Board of Appeals July 26 , 1989 Chairman Aron said if there were no more questions he would entertain a motion . Mr . King made the following motion . WHEREAS , the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals finds that the Gillis house is unusually small and the site unusually difficult to construct on because of the gradients and the proximity to the neighboring lot line , and the fact that they have one acre of land and only an 800 square foot house would tend to make it reasonable to permit an expansion of the dwelling and the proposal is to expand the dwelling to the west as the only feasible way to do so because of the topography of the land and the necessity to maintain a gradient for eventual hook up to the sewer line , and WHEREAS , the proposal seems reasonable and in general it would be in harmony with the general purposes of the Ordinance to permit the proposed extension . It is ap@ut the only use that can be made and the only way it can / extended • with any reasonable facility on this lot and the extension would not appear to be generally detrimental to the general amenity of the neighborhood and the character of the neighborhood , being at this time a somewhat isolated dwelling , not to minimize the. fact that the construction will impact on the neighboring lot but the structure as proposed and the uses proposed seem to be well thought out and safely designed , and WHEREAS , the proposal would not have any significant effect upon the community as a whole or traffic load upon any public street and the sewer system is adequate so the extension should not prove detrimental to the health , safety and general welfare of the community . However , Mr . and Mrs . Gillis need to take heed of the concern with their neighbors , especially in the matter of seeing that construction vehicles do not cross lot lines and that the products of their excavation are kept on their own lot and to see that there is no encroachment on the neighboring lot , now , therefore , be it RESOLVED , that the Zoning Board of Appeals approves the addition as proposed by the Gillis with the following notation . The north side of the extension closest to the Saatman property shall not be closer than 7 feet from the lot line , and that the extension be conditional on the following . Town of Ithaca 8 Zoning Board of Appeals July 26 , 1989 The Gillis ' will install a barricade such as a snow fence or some other form satisfactory to the Zoning Enforcement Officer along the north line of their property to prevent vehicles from going around the north side of the existing house and to prevent the excavation and the products of the excavation going off their own property in the vicinity of the construction . Mr . Austen seconded the motion . The voting on the motion was as follows . Ayes - Austen , King , Aron . Nays - None . The meeting was adjourned at 8 : 35 p . m . Respectfully Submitted , bl..zL 97.

NY I4Sii3-2S01 ( 607) 255-4! N ty • July 14 , 1989 Mr . Henry Aron Chairman , Zoning Board of Appeals Town of Ithaca 126 East Seneca Street Ithaca , New York 14850 Dear Henry : Cornell University is formally requesting that the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals remove from the agenda of its meeting on July 24 the request for a one - year variance related to the use of housing units at Maplewood Park by upper - class transfer students . The ZBA had set aside a decision on our recent request for a variance until its next meeting , but we now ask that that request be removed from the agenda . Our request for a variance , first heard by the ZBA in late June , dealt with the possibility of the need to place up to 120 transfer students , along with single and married graduate students , in the one - story apartments that are now under construction at 201 Maple Avenue . The total number of students would not have exceeded the number for which the project was designed , and was consistent with our earlier filing with the ZBA when this project was approved . Since that time , our Department of Residence life has mounted an aggressive and apparently successful marketing campaign with single and married graduate students . We believe that , as a result of this marketing effort , we may be able to approach full occupancy of the complex with single and married graduate students . We continue to experience problems finding space for our upper - class transfer population , and this may cause serious problems for them and us in the fall , but at the present time it does not appear that we will require access to Maplewood Park for these students and , therefore , a request for a variance . The Maplewood Park project is on schedule and the contractor is expected to have the units in place and completed in mid to late August , in time for the arrival of graduate students . You will understand , of course , that we must reserve our rights regarding the restriction imposed upon the housing of undergraduates , should the observance of that limitation in the future prove impracticable . Thank you for your attention to this matter . VelSincy ; e. Dayid I .

David I . Stewart Assistant to the Vice President and Director of Community Relations Cornell University 110 Day Hall Ithaca , NY 14853 - 2801 Re ; Cornell University Graduate Student Housing Dear David : In response to your letter of July 14 , 1989 , your request for withdrawal of the Appeal by Cornell University for a one - year modification of the use of the housing units at the Graduate Student Housing project from the Zoning Board of Appeals ' Agenda of . Wednesday , July 26 , 1989 , has been noted by me . I would like to inform you that , since this matter has been adjourned to that date , namely , July 26 , 1989 , at that meeting I will have to declare the matter of the Appeal withdrawn by the applicant because of the new circumstances as stated in your letter and , therefore , moot . That means that Cornell University will have to comply with all conditions set forth in the decision of the Board rendered on April 19 , 1989 . Should Cornell University , at any time in the future , ask for a modification of that ruling as set forth , the procedure will have to be the . same as a completely new appeal . I trust the situation is clear to you . Sincere , Hen ryAr� kaa Zorfing Board of Appeals HA / nf xc - Susan Beeners Andrew Frost John C . Barney , Esq . Noel Desch John Gutenberger Members , Zoning Board of Appeals EXHIBIT ,# 2 301 Maple Avenue , ® Apt . J - 12 Ithaca , NY 14850 July 21 , 14389 Town of Ithaca Zoning Board 126 E . Seneca St . Ithaca , NY 14850 Dear Ithaca Zoning Board : We are writing to urge you in the strangest passible way to reject Cornell ' s request to house undergraduates in Maplewood Park . We , like other residents of Maple hill Apartments wham we have talked to , believe that our quality of life would greatly decline should Cornell be allowed to go ahead with their plan to fill Maplewood . Most of the people who live here are working people , people with children , and graduate students ; we want the place where we live to be generally quiet , especially at night , since many of us have to get up early in the morning . There is no doubt that 120 undergraduates living next door would be far noisier than graduate students would be . It is hardly fair to make the people who live near Maplewood , who had been told that only graduate students were to live there , pay the penalty for Cornell ' s failure to make adequate plans and for their decision to charge extremely high • rent for student housing . We urge you to reject Cornell ' s request . Sincerely , Susan Cohen Michael Singer ® EXHIBIT # 3 SATELLITE CONSULTANTS 205 N .

As it is , . we had Eo sacrifice Fl due to the angle of elevation which is 110 and azmuth of 2640 . We are receiving G1 which is 2590 azmuth at a 140 angle . Thank you . Very truly yours , Bruce Vanek (Owner ) BV/ lry EXHIBIT #4 Town of Ithaca Board of Zoning Appeals Al and Sue Gillis 112 Burns Road Ithaca , N . Y . Description : We ( family of 3 ) currently live in a one story home ; 2 bedrooms , 1 bath with total living space under 800 square feet . We are hooked to Bolton Point water and natural gas services and currently have a septic tank . While the total lot area approximates I acre , much is unusable because of power line easements and steep slope . Due to topographic constraints , the house was constructed very close to the northwest boundary . Project Proposal We would like to add on to the rear of the house a space of approximately 800 square feet to include a second bathroom , laundry room , bedroom , and a dining / living space . In conjunction with this project , we plan to hook up to the Town of Ithaca Sewer . Rationale Due to the irregular lot and the placement of the original house , we understand the necessity of a variance . We feel this will enable us to integrate the new addition with the original house , utilize the most level area on the lot , provide. for adequate gradient for the sewer and avoid the power line constraints .
