Dr. Silvers first bought the house parcel and subsequently bought two more parcels to the north and east. In 2010, she requested to revise the lot lines, but there were separate mortgages on the three parcels that were never changed to conform to the approved subdivision lots. Ms. Silvers now wants to revert the house lot line to what it was before the 2010 revision and combine the other two parcels because the one to the east of the house is landlocked. Mr. Bosak said it will be as if in 2009, we simply combined two of the lots.

The proposal involves modifying the property lines of the two parcels to reflect the way they existed in 2009, except what had been three parcels is now two parcels. The project will not create any new additional parcels. Kimberly Silvers, Owner/Applicant; 2.

This is an Unlisted Action for which the Town of Ithaca Planning Board, acting as lead agency with respect to Subdivision Approval, has on November 6, 2018, made a negative determination of environmental significance, after having reviewed and accepted as adequate a Short Planning Board Minutes 11.06.2018 Page 3 of 10 Environmental Assessment Form Part 1, submitted by the applicant, and Parts 2 and 3 prepared by the Town Planning staff; and 3. The Planning Board, on November 6, 2018, has reviewed and accepted as adequate a survey map entitled "Subdivision Map, Showing Lands of Kimberly J. Silvers, No. 919 Elmira Road, Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York", prepared by T.G. Miller, P.C., dated 12/10/2009 and amended 8/17/18, and other application materials; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby waives certain requirements for Preliminary and Final Subdivision Approval, as shown on the Preliminary and Final Subdivision Checklists, hav- ing determined from the materials presented that such waiver will result in a significant alteration of neither the purpose of subdivision control nor the policies enunciated or implied by the Town Board; and 2.

Submission of a copy of the receipt of filing to the Town of Ithaca Planning Department. Vote Ayes: Wilcox, Haefeli, Fogarty, Meier Swain, Bosak, Hill AGENDA ITEM SEQR Determination: NYSEG Communication Mast Modification, 1260 Trumansburg Road Joshua Silver, The Murray Law Firm, said they were here last year in support of NYSEG's application to install a communication mast at its Trumansburg Road substation. The purpose of the mast is to support smart grid technology, which will modernize the electrical grid in the area. Since the approval, NYSEG took a closer look at their property and discovered that it was surveyed incorrectly and that they owned more property than they thought when they put the application together. The mast needs to be close to the substation because it gets hardwired in, but there's a steep slope right off the back fence, making it a difficult building site. So having discovered that they have more land, they want to move the mast 60 feet from the approved location to make it easier for construction to come in and for the tower to be serviced because service people coming through the substation have to be specially qualified NYSEG employees to get through with their trucks; with this shift, they can just drive around it. Mr. Wilcox asked about the survey error. It raises the question: if an error was missed before, how do we know that it is now correct without a survey signed by a licensed surveyor? Planning Board Minutes 11.06.2018 Page 4 of 10 Mr. Silver said they've done site visits to confirm the location. It was surveyed by Infinigy, who has surveyors on staff. It was spotted because they looked at the tax map. Mr. Wilcox liked the new location because of the access; going through the fenced -in area is an issue when it comes to security. Mr. Silver pointed out that this was the second iteration of their proposed access drive. The revised plans they originally submitted to the building department proposed a second access drive coming in from an angle, but they were told they should use the existing curb cut. PB Resolution No. 2018-038: SEQR - Reaffirmation of Negative Determination, NYSEG Communications Tower, 1260 Trumansburg Road, Tax Parcel No. 24.4-5.1 Moved by Liebe Meier Swain; seconded by Yvonne Fogarty WHEREAS: This action is consideration of site plan approval for the proposed NYSEG Communication Mast project located at 1260 Trumansburg Road (NYS Route 96), Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 24.-4- 5.1, Medium Density Residential Zone. The proposal involves modifying the location of the proposed 100' tall public utility communication mast and access drive on the same property. The Planning Board granted final site plan approval for this project on April 18, 2017, after issuing a negative declaration of environmental significance and granting preliminary site plan approval on March 7, 2017. New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG), Owner/Applicant; The Murray Law Firm, PLLC, Agent; 2. This is an Unlisted Action for which the Town of Ithaca Planning Board is the lead agency in the environmental review with respect to the proposal; The Planning Board, on November 6, 2018, has reviewed and accepted as adequate a Short Environmental Assessment Form (SEAF) Part 1, submitted by the applicant, Parts 2 and 3 pre- pared by Town Planning staff, an applicant narrative and a set of plans prepared by Infinigy, titled "NYSEG New Communications Tower, County Hospital, 1260 Trumansburg Road, Ithaca, New York, 14850" including sheets Tl, C1 through C8, ES1 and 2, and E1 through E4, dated 10/05/18, and other application materials; and 4. The Town Planning staff has recommended the Planning Board reaffirm its negative determina- tion of environmental significance with respect to the proposal; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby reaffirms its negative determination of environmen- tal significance that was made on March 7, 2017, in accordance with Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and 6 NYCRR Part 617 New York State Environmental Quality Review for the above referenced proposal, based on the information in the EAF Part 1 and for the reasons set forth in the EAF Parts 2 and 3, and, therefore, a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be required. Planning Board Minutes 11.06.2018 Page 5 of 10 Vote Ayes: Wilcox, Haefeli, Fogarty, Meier Swain, Bosak, Hill AGENDA ITEM Public Hearing: Consideration of Preliminary and Final Site Plan Approval for the proposed modifications to the NYSEG Communication Mast project located at 1260 Trumansburg Road (NYS Route 96), Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 24.-4-5.1, Medium Density Residential Zone. The proposal involves modifying the location of the proposed 100' tall public utility communication mast and access drive on the same property. This project originally received Final Site Plan Approval on April 18, 2017. New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG), Owner/Applicant; The Murray Law Firm, PLLC, Agent Mr. Wilcox opened the public hearing at 7:22 pm.; hearing no one, lie closed it at 7:23. Mr. Bosak said that in the letter from our environmental review committee (ERC), they listed two concerns. One was visual impacts, which we've already considered. The second comment regarding the driveway would be part of site plan. Ms. Balestra said that their second comment is contrary to what staff recommended they do, which was to have the driveway go around the substation. Their concern with the staff recommendation has to do with vegetation and grading issues, but there will be a grade no matter where you put the driveway, and staff said to keep with the same curb cut; otherwise, they'd need DOT approval. Ms. Fogarty asked whether they'd work with the town engineer in terms of erosion. Mr. O'Shea said they'll do a simple SWPPP. Once the town engineering staff signs off on it, it will be a private driveway. Mr. Bates asked why they're using the site name County Hospital. Mr. Haefeli suggested it's because that's the name of the substation. Ms. Fogarty said the letter recommended planting native species to help whatever erosion might happen. Mr. Silver said they hadn't talked about it, but aren't opposed to it. Ms. Balestra said staff didn't consider it necessary because there's already large trees and thick vegetation around the area that will remain, and the visual impacts won't be increased by having a gravel driveway in an area where there's already vegetation. In the previously approved location, the tower would have been more visible. Ms. Fogarty asked how many trees will be cut down. Mr. Silver didn't know off the top of his head. Planning Board Minutes 11.06.2018 Page 6 of 10 Ms. Batestra pointed out that there's already a mown path the drive will follow. Ms. Fogarty asked if the fence will be enlarged. Mr. Silver said it was going to be with the initial site plan, but now it won't be. The fact that mainte- nance employees will now go around the outside of the fence to access the tower is better because not all employees have clearance to go into the fenced area. Ms. Fogarty asked about the last line in the ERC's letter regarding clearing sessional forest and replacing it with native species. Mr. Haefeti said that doesn't make sense: if they need to cut down trees to make the road, they can't later put plantings in the road. Ms. Brock pointed out that they'll just have to do a sedimentation and erosion control plan because they're not disturbing enough area to require a SWPPP. Mr. O'Shea added that they're only clearing an area that's around 20 feet wide. For them to go off that drive, it wouldn't be cost effective.

The Planning Board hereby grants Preliminary and Final Site Plan Approval for the proposed NYSEG Communication Tower modification located at 1260 Trumansburg Road, as referenced on the plans listed in Whereas #3 above, subject to the following condition: a.

Vote Ayes: Wilcox, Haefeli, Meier Swain, Bosak, Hill Nays: Fogarty AGENDA ITEM SEQR Determination: Cayuga Medical Center Parking Spaces, 101 Harris B. Dates Drive Frank Santelli, TG Miller, said when most people come in to the hospital, they go to the three-way stop and then either continue straight to the back or turn left to the front of the building. They plan to add 15 spaces along the driveway going to the back, and 13 in the front where a staging area used for construction parking has been replanted. One Norway maple will need to be removed, and an orange construction fence will protect the closest oak trees. It's a relatively flat area and will involve boxing out the existing topsoil, bringing in gravel, and paving the area. Mr. Wilcox commented that cars park there now; they're parked in the back, too. It's difficult to find a parking space. Mr. Santelli said the aim is to formalize the parking. Mr. Wilcox said there are two access points between the lot in front of the hospital and the lot in front of the old Biggs building: one is a sidewalk and the other is a roadway that is striped and signed Emergency Use Only. Vehicles are using the sidewalk to get from one parking lot to the other because the roadway is for emergency vehicles. He'd like to see the hospital open that up for cars because if you want to get from one parking lot to the other properly, you have to go back out onto Harris B Dates Drive and all the way around. Mr. Bates pointed out that if you open that up to cars, you'll create a thruway for people going north to bypass the traffic light; it's safer to exit at the light. John Gaetano, Cayuga Medical Facilities Management, said that in their current budget for the next two years, their goal is to put $1.5 million in capital planning for parking. The proposed 28 spaces are for folks to park in during the day because they're having a hard time finding a space, but in the long- Planning Board Minutes 11.06.2018 Page 8 of 10 term, another tot will be needed. What they'll probably do is move employees to a new parking lot and make the current parking for visitors only.
