Mr. Shapiro - Yes, to answer your second question first, there are no environmental impacts to which
i am aware. This is a fairly simple subdivision taking one lot converting it into two properties located
on the corner of Elm Street Extension and Valley View Road. Both result in lots that conform in every
way that 1 am aware of to the various codes and ordinances of the Town of Ithaca. I am aware of the
Planning Departments suggestion that the entrance for the second lot be on Valley View Road. That
is perfectly fine with my clients. In fact, it makes more sense. Other than that, I do not have nothin
else.
Chairperson Wilcox - Any questions?
Board Member Hoffmann - It seems pretty straight forwards.
Chairperson Wilcox - You can have a seat. Would someone like to move the SEOR motion?
Board Member Conneman - I'll move it.
Chairperson Wilcox - So moved. Do I have a second?
Board Member Howe - Second.
Chairperson Wilcox - Seconded by Rod Howe.

we will close the public hearing at 7:41 p.m. and bring the matter back to the board.
Chairperson Wilcox - I note, Chris is not here. In her cover memo, she simply recommends that the
driveways front on Valley View Road. It is not relevant to the resolution because the action is
subdivision, not site plan.
Mr. Kanter - It is up to the board if you felt that you wanted to confirm that so that when it goes for a
building permit, the Building Department knows that that is what the Planning Board would like, you
can certainly add that as a condition. We did not feel it was necessary to specifically state it. It is
ultimately up to the Highway Superintendent basically, to make those determinations anyway.
Board Member Howe - If we don't need...
