ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
APRIL 15, 2002 MINUTES
APPROVED
The motion was declared to be carried unanimously.
The fifth appeal to be heard was as follows:
APPEAL of Michael and Lorie Lupo, Appellants, requesting a variance from the requirements of
Article V, Section 21 and 23 of the Town of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance and Section 280a of New York
State Town Law, to be permitted to build a residence on a building lot having a lot width of 60 feet at
the roadside and at the maximum front yard setback, whereas 100 feet and 150 feet respectively, is
required, near 125 Iradell Road, Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 24-1-7.2, Residence District R-30.
Mr. Frost - We seem to have the same types of variances come all together at one particular meeting.
At one time we had three or four height variances at one meeting.
Mr. Stotz - Tonight is flag lot night.
Mr. Ellsworth - Its seems kind of tough to approve one down when you have approved two.
Mr. Krantz - These two are in such similar neighborhoods. They are really close together.
Mr. Ellsworth - This is West Hill night.
Mr. Krantz - They are almost across the street from each other.
Mr. Frost - The next one is on South Hill.
Mike Lupo, Iradell Road - The plans are to ask for a variance to allow us to build a single family
home, three bedrooms, about 2200 square feet with no plans to subdivide. We are looking for
privacy and we found a lot that we think will offer that to us. So therefore we are here before you to
ask for a variance due to the insufficient road frontage.
Mr. Frost - I was just going to say on the map that you submitted, which is part of the tax map, you
show the house, a proposed garage and a barn. There is no scale on the map. A lot of structures
seem like they are fairly close to the property line. You should be aware that you need to be at least
50 foot from the back lot line. That shouldn't affect your plans dramatically.
Mr. Lupo - We were up there yesterday. We are about 85 feet from the property line to the back of
the proposed building. The house would sit about 1200 feet from the road.
Mr. Frost - The garage is obviously for parking a car. What are you proposing for the barn, which
looks quite a bit larger than the other two structures?
Mr. Lupo - The plans are to build a horse barn so that we can house about eight horses, a tack room
and wash down, storage of a tractor. The tractor is required to mow 10.5 acres.
Mr. Stotz - How long a road is that going to be into your property?

ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
APRIL 15, 2002 MINUTES
APPRo va)
have one horse if two acres of land is provided and one additional horse for each acre, but nb more
than a total of 3 horses. This is R-30. I don't see anything in R-30 that limits the number. They can't
keep horses for hire, which has been an issue before this board. So if you intend to board horses for
people that could be a zoning issue. If they are your own horses, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Horses for hire also means riding horses.
Chairperson Sigel - The horses are just going to be your privately owned horses?
Mr. Lupo - Yes.
Chairperson Sigel - Any other questions? Again, we have no environmental assessment on this
appeal.
Chairperson Sigel opened the public hearing at 7:57 p.m. With no persons present to be heard,
Chairperson Sigel closed the public hearing at 7:58 p.m.
Chairperson Sigel - If there were no further questions, would someone like to make a motion on the
appeal itself?
Mr. Frost - This is an agricultural district. While R-30 regulations do apply in agricultural districts,
agricultural districts do also allow for riding academies.
RESOLUTION NO. 2002-18 - Michael and Lori Lupo, Tax Parcel No. 24.4-7.2, April 15, 2002.
MOTION made by Ronald Krantz, seconded by Harry Ellsworth.
RESOLVED, that this board grants the appeal of Michael and Lori Lupo, requesting a variance from
the requirements of Article V, Section 21 and 23 of the Town of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance and Section
280a of New York State Town Law, to be permitted to build a residence on a building lot having a lot
width of 60 feet at the roadside and at the maximum front yard setback, near 125 Iradell Road, Town
of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 24.4-7.2, Residence District R-30, based upon the following:
Findings:
a. This is a narrow property and that the driveway would be approximately 12 feet wide and
1200 feet long, and
b. This would give access to this property for a single family home, and
C. The requirements of an area variance have been met.
The vote on the motion resulted as follows:
AYES: Sigel, Ellsworth, Stotz, Krantz, Ellsworth.
NAYS: None.
ABSTAIN: None.
The motion was declared to be carried unanimously.
