MEMORANDUM
Date: June 9, 2021
To: Town Board
From: Nick Goldsmith, Sustainability Planner
Re: Energy Code Supplement
It is my honor and pleasure to submit the final draft of the Energy Code Supplement (ECS) and related
documents. We look forward to discussing adoption of the ECS Local Law at the June 14 meeting of the
Town Board. The City of Ithaca Common Council voted unanimously to adopt the IECS on May S.
Four years ago, the Town partnered with the City of Ithaca to engage a consultant team for the important
work of crafting local legislation to reduce GHG emissions in new buildings. Town and City staff, working
with the consultant team and guided by an extraordinary level of community input, have worked to create
regulations that are achievable, affordable, and impactful.
Since starting the Green Building Policy Project, the Town has gone even farther: we have committed to a
Green New Deal (GND) and to an equitable transition to carbon -neutrality community -wide by 2030. The
Energy Code Supplement will be the biggest piece of the GND yet enacted. But it won't be the biggest piece
forever: we will soon be discussing the monumental task of shifting our entire community building stock
- including all existing buildings - to become net -zero.
The ECS and the Town's developing plans for existing buildings and the GND are in line with the
trajectory of New York State policy, which seems to be headed toward energy and building codes that
require highly efficient, all -electric new construction by 2030, and the prohibition of fossil -fuel -based
equipment in existing buildings by 2035.
Questions remain. For example, will the electric grid incorporate renewables as quickly as planned by
New York State? We cannot know. But we do know that electrification makes sense today. Even when
assuming scenarios favorable for natural gas and unfavorable for heat pumps, we still see GHG reductions
from switching to heat pumps today, and over the life of the building.
With consideration of adoption of the ECS, the Town and the City are leading the way, and hopefully will
inspire other communities - and the State - to take strong legislative action to reduce GHG emissions.
We have provided a copy of the ECS with all changes tracked since the last public draft, dated 01-28-21.
Below is a list of many of the more substantial changes; this is not all-inclusive.
1. Changing title to "Energy Code Supplement" (removing "Ithaca"), per General Code guidance
2. Several changes to Sections 144-1 Title, Purpose, and Findings; 144-2 Scope and Application; and
144-6 Compliance Documentation and Variances, due to Town/City difference in implementation and
enforcement.
3. Timetable in future section: ECS becomes more stringent in 2023/2026 (previously 2025/2030).
Page 112
4. Added new and clarifying language: buildings that are not heated and agriculturalbuildings are
exempt from ECS
5. Substantially updated renewable energy systems sections
6. 2O25Prescriptive Path Summary Table added
7. Level 1 electric vehicle chargers are no longer allowed to be used to get the EV point
R. Small building/room size point: Duplexes and Townhouses will now be treated as multiple single-
family homes (for this point only). So, a duplex is treated as two single family homes for the room
allowances, and a 5 -unit townhouse building will be treated like five single family homes. This adds a
good deal ofavailable space for the projects itaffects.
9. Building/Room size point: Raised allowance for 1-Bflunits iu multifamily from 595 to 600 sq ft (less
than 1Y6ltoalign with NYS HCR requirements.
10. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation -based Compliance: In C403.4.5, now allow data gathered from
actual operation ofcombined heat and power plant. }oC4O3.4.7,the City reserves the right torequire
additional documentation and/or additional third -party review at cost of applicant. Same changes
made toResidential section.
11. Lighting point-claodficdtbat| for signs is exempt
12.Included calculation examples for Development Density and Room size
13. Formatting changes, including renumbering to include Town Code Chapter 144 references

Part 3 Determination of Significance
For every question in Part 2 that was answered "moderate to large impact may occur", or if there iswd to explain why a
particular element of the proposed action may or will not result in a significant adverse environmental impact, please
complete Part 3. Part 3 should, in sufficient detail, identify the impact, including any measures or design elements that
have been included by the project sponsor to avoid or reduce impacts. Part 3 should also explain how the lead agency
determined that the impact may or will not be significant. Each potential impact should be assessed consideringsilaing,
probability of occurring, duration, irreversibility, geographic scope and magnitude. Also consider the potential for short-
term, long-term and cumulative impacts.
The proposed local laws establish and reference a local energy code supplement (ECS) that provides requirements that give
priority to electrification, renewable energy, and affordability in new construction and certain additions and major renovations.
The requirements of the ECS apply, with limited exceptions, to:
(1) all new construction, excluding additions and renovations that are not specified in the law,
(2) all additions 500 square feet or larger to single-family or two-family dwellings,
(3) all additions 1,000 square feet or larger to buildings other than single-family or two-family dwellings, and
(4) all major renovations, as defined in the ECS.
The ECS was envisioned in the adopted 2014 Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan. Section EC -1 of the Plan includes
incorporating sustainability and climate protection into long-term planning, and begins with the statement "The Town Board has
endorsed sustainability and climate protection as overarching principles to guide long-term decision-making; elements of these
principles are infused throughout this Comprehensive Plan." One specific goal within the section includes adopting a building
code to require all new construction projects and major renovations to incorporate green building techniques and achieve specific
energy efficiency standards. The ECS is the building code that was referenced in the Comprehensive Plan.
There will be no anticipated change in the intensity of the use of land, no negative environmental effect on traffic, environmental
resources (natural areas, wetlands, streams, plant or wildlife habitat, etc), historic or aesthetic resources, and no negative
impacts on drainage, flooding, erosion, or public health as a result of enacting the proposed local laws.
The ECS establishes a point and performance-based system for the new construction, additions, and major renovations to which
it applies. Requiring compliance with the ECS may include electrification of new and renovated spaces within a structure where
the remaining structure might utilize natural gas or other energy source (this might have an economic impact, although the ECS
gives priority to affordability). However, following the point and performance-based system will not create the potential for
significant adverse environmental impacts and will lead to positive community impacts through the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions and increased walkability/reduced reliance on vehicles for transportation. The rules require that all new buildings be
constructed to produce 40% fewer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than those built to NYS code. The ECS will become more
stringent in 2023, requiring an 80% reduction in emissions. Starting in 2026, net -zero buildings that do not use fossil fuels will be
required (with exceptions for cooking and process energy).
Compliance with the ECS could lead to changes in the built environment, e.g., increased density, increased walkability, and
reduction on the reliance of gas -powered vehicles as the main source of transportation in new developments.
Check this box if you have determined, based on the information and analysis above, and any supporting documentation,
that the proposed action may result in one or more potentially large or significant adverse impacts and an
environmental impact statement is required.

Code
Whereas, climate change is causing an increase in extreme weather events, such as storms,
flooding, and heat waves that threaten human life, healthy communities, and critical
infrastructure in the Town of Ithaca (Town), New York State, and across the world; and
Whereas, there is a clear emerging international consensus that to avoid the most severe impacts
of a changing climate, global warming should be limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius; and
Whereas, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to human activity are the main cause of
global warming, and buildings within the Town of Ithaca are the most significant contributor to
local GHG emissions, responsible for more than half of all community GHG emissions; and
Whereas, the Town Board unanimously adopted the Town's Green New Deal on March 23,
2020, which sets forth a goal to achieve an equitable transition to carbon -neutrality community-
wide by 2030; and
Whereas, New York State, through its Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, has
set ambitious goals to combat climate change through GHG reduction, and state goals are in line
with many of the objectives of the Energy Code Supplement ("ECS"), including reducing
emissions in buildings, electrifying space heating, water heating, and cooking systems,
increasing the use of renewable energy, and reducing the use of fossil fuels; and
Whereas, the combustion of fossil fuels in homes and other buildings decreases internal air
quality and has adverse impacts on human health; and
Whereas, for new buildings, the most affordable and cost-effective time to reduce GHG
emissions is during the design and construction phases of a project, rather than at a time of later
retrofit; and
Whereas, pursuant to section 11-109 of the New York State Energy Law, and subject to the
provisions and requirements of that section, municipalities may promulgate local energy
conservation construction codes more stringent than the NYS Energy Code; and
Page 1 of 4
Whereas, Town Code Chapter 144, Energy Code Supplement, is a local energy code supplement
for all new construction, certain additions, and major renovations, with requirements above and
beyond the state energy code that will become more stringent over time; and
Whereas, the requirements set forth give priority to electrification, renewable energy, and
affordability, and will go into effect in three steps: 2021, 2023, and 2026; and
Whereas, the ECS is intended to advance best practices in the design of affordable buildings that
deliver reduced GHG emissions and to provide a rapid but orderly transition to buildings that do
not use fossil fuels on-site for major building energy needs, such as space heating and hot water
heating, by 2026; and
Whereas, the 2014 Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan recommends adopting a building code to
require all new construction projects and major renovations to incorporate green building
techniques and achieve specific energy efficiency standards; and
Whereas, the Comprehensive Plan includes the following guiding principle: The Town enacts
and implements policies and regulations that integrate sustainability and climate protection into
building and construction practices and land use planning; and
Whereas, in 2017, the Town partnered with the City of Ithaca to engage a consultant team led by
STREAM Collaborative, which included Taitem Engineering and Randall+West, to assist in
development of a green building policy for the Town and the City to reduce GHG emissions in
new construction; and
Whereas, in May 2018, the Town Board adopted the Green Building Policy Report, which
contained recommendations for code requirements and served as the basis for the Energy Code
Supplement; and
Whereas, throughout the development process, the Town and City convened regular meetings
with internal and external stakeholder committees, which included staff, elected officials, the
development community, major local institutions, and sustainability advocates; and
Whereas, between 2017 and 2020, the Town and City held numerous public outreach sessions
resulting in hundreds of comments and public feedback, which have been incorporated into the
ECS; and
Whereas, at several meetings of the Town Codes and Ordinances Committee (COC) in 2019,
2020, and 2021, staff gave presentations on the Energy Code Supplement, explained its features
and development outcomes, answered questions, and heard comments, and on April 14, 2021 the
COC recommended that the Town of Ithaca adopt the proposed Energy Code Supplement; and
Whereas, the City adopted the Ithaca Energy Code Supplement on May 5, 2021; and
Page 2 of 4
Whereas, at numerous Town Board meetings, including most recently on April 26, 2021 and
May 24, 2021, the Board received an update on the Energy Code Supplement and was given the
opportunity to discuss, ask questions and offer suggestions on the proposal; and
Whereas, a public hearing was scheduled for June 14, 2021 at 5:30 p.m., to hear all interested
parties on the five proposed local laws entitled:
1. A Local Law adding Chapter 144 to the Town of Ithaca Code, Titled `Energy Code

Whereas, notice of the public hearing was duly advertised in the Ithaca Journal; and
Whereas, the public hearing was duly held on the date and time and all parties were permitted an
opportunity to speak on behalf of or in opposition to the proposed local laws, or any part of
them; and
Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") and

Energy Code Supplement 06-02-2021 2
Section 144-1 TITLE, PURPOSE, AND FINDINGS
SUBSECTION 144-101 TITLE, PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
1.44-101.1 "Title
......................................................................................................
This Chapter 144 of the Code of the Town of Ithaca shall be known as the "Energy Code Supplement"
(ECS).
1.44-101.2 P
The purpose of this chapter is to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare by establishing a
local energy code supplement for all new construction, certain additions, and major renovations, with
requirements above and beyond the state energy code that will become more stringent over time.
1.4x..°1,x`1.3 � �uf� Jves.
.................................................................
The objectives of this chapter are to: (1) deliver measurable, immediate, and long-lasting reductions in
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from all new construction, certain additions, and major renovations;
(2) advance best practices in the design of affordable buildings that deliver reduced GHG emissions; and
(3) provide a rapid but orderly transition to buildings that do not use fossil fuels on-site for major building
energy needs, such as space heating and hot water heating, by 2026. The requirements set forth give
priority to electrification, renewable energy, and affordability. Requirements for reductions in GHG
emissions go into effect in three steps: 2021, 2023, and 2026.
SUBSECTION 144-102 FINDINGS
1.44-102.1. IFindin s of IFact
The Town of Ithaca Town Board finds that:
1. Climate change is causing an increase in extreme weather events, such as storms, flooding, and
heat waves that threaten human life, healthy communities, and critical infrastructure in the Town,
New York State, and across the world.
2. There is a clear emerging international consensus that to avoid the most severe impacts of a
changing climate, global warming should be limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
3. GHG emissions related to human activity are the main cause of global warming. Buildings within
the Town of Ithaca are the most significant contributor to local GHG emissions, responsible for
more than half of all community GHG emissions.
4. The Town Board unanimously adopted the Town's Green New Deal on March 23, 2020, which sets
forth a goal to achieve an equitable transition to carbon -neutrality community -wide by 2030.
Energy Code Supplement 06-02-2021 3
5. New York State, through its Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, has set ambitious
goals to combat climate change through GHG reduction. State goals are in line with many of the
objectives of the Energy Code Supplement, including reducing emissions in buildings, electrifying
space heating, water heating, and cooking systems, increasing the use of renewable energy, and
reducing the use of fossil fuels.
6. The combustion of fossil fuels in homes and other buildings decreases internal air quality and has
adverse impacts on human health.
7. For new buildings, the most affordable and cost-effective time to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions is during the design and construction phases of a project, rather than at a time of later
retrofit.

shall be used only for the specified luminaires and shall not be used for any other purpose. An increase in
the interior lighting power allowance is permitted in the following cases:
1. For lighting equipment to be installed in sales areas specifically to highlight merchandise, the
additional lighting power shall be determined in accordance with Equation 144-4-1.
Equation 144-4-1: Additional interior lighting power allowance = 250 watts + (Retail Area 1 * 0.3
W/ft2) + (Retail Area 2 * 0.3 W/ft2) + (Retail Area 3 * 0.7 W/ft2) + (Retail Area 4 * 1.3 W/ft2)
Where:
Retail Area 1 = The floor area for all products not listed in Retail Area 2, 3 or 4
Retail Area 2 = The floor area used for the sale of vehicles, sporting goods, and small electronics.
Retail Area 3 = The floor area used for the sale of furniture, clothing, cosmetics, and artwork.
Retail Area 4 = The floor area used for the sale of jewelry, crystal, and china.
Exception: Other merchandise categories are permitted to be included in Retail Areas 2 through
4, provided that justification documenting the need for additional lighting power based on visual
inspection, contrast, or other critical display is approved by the Code Enforcement Officer.
2. For spaces in which lighting is specified to be installed in addition to the general lighting for the
purpose of decorative appearance or for highlighting art or exhibits, provided that the additional
lighting power shall be not more than 0.5 w/ft2 of such spaces.
144-C402.3.4.4 Lighting Controls
Except where lighting is required to stay on by New York State or local code, motion sensors are required
for interior lighting in the following space types: office, conference room, kitchenette, corridor, stairwell,

144-C402.4.1 RE1 Renewable Energy Systems
Up to three points may be earned according to the requirements below.
144-C402.4.1.1 Points available
On-site and off-site renewable energy systems that meet the requirements of this subsection shall earn
up to three points based on their annual electrical or thermal energy production. Multiple renewable
Energy Code Supplement 06-02-2021 20
energy systems may be used to earn points, but no more than three total points may be earned for any
combination of renewable energy systems.
144-C402.4.1.2 Determining the number of points earned
The number of points earned shall be determined according to the steps below. The applicant shall submit
documentation of all related assumptions and calculations.
Step 1: Calculate Renewable Energy Production
The Renewable Energy Production (REP) is the projected annual energy production of the renewable
energy system, expressed in kilowatt-hours per year (kWh/yr). For thermal systems, the conversion 1 kWh
= 3.412 kBtu shall be used.
Step 2: Calculate the Number of Points Earned
The number of points earned for a renewable energy system is based on the directly heated floor area of
the building it serves. Points shall be earned based on a weighted average related to residential and
commercial floor area, as described in Equation 144-4-2. For purposes of this subsection 144-C402.4.1,
residential space shall include dwelling units and common areas that serve only dwelling units.
Equation 144-4-2: Minimum Renewable Energy Production needed to earn each point =
(1.2 kWh/ft2 x RA) + (2.4 kWh/ft2 x CA)
CA = Directly heated floor area of Commercial space (ft2)
RA = Directly heated floor area of Residential space (ft2)
Note: For buildings that have no residential space, set RA equal to zero.
Example Calculation - for informational purposes only
Assumptions: Mixed-use building with 2,000 ft2 of residential directly heated floor area and 5,000 ft2 of
commercial directly heated floor area. A 25 kW solar array is being used.
Step 1: Using the PVWatts Calculator, it is projected that the 25 kW solar array will produce 30,000
kWh/year.
Renewable Energy Production is 30,000 kWh/year
Step 2: Using Equation 144-4-2:
Minimum REP needed for each point = (1.2 kWh/ft2 x RA) + (2.4 kWh/ft2 x CA)
Minimum REP needed for each point = (1.2 kWh/ft2 x 2,000 ft2) + (2.4 kWh/ft2 x 5,000 ft2)
Minimum REP needed for each point = 2,400 kWh + 12,000 kWh
Minimum REP needed for each point = 14.400 kWh
Using the assumptions for this building and renewable energy system, two (2) points may be earned.
144-C402.4.1.3 Energy Sources
Renewable energy systems shall produce electricity from solar, wind, or hydropower resources, or
produce thermal energy from solar, geothermal, or hydrothermal resources. Thermal energy absorbed
Energy Code Supplement 06-02-2021 21
from or rejected to outdoor air/ground/water and used in conjunction with heat pumps does not count
as renewable energy for the purposes of this subsection. Hydropower shall be from new generation

144-R502.4.1 REI Renewable Energy Systems
Up to three points may be earned according to the requirements below.
Energy Code Supplement 06-02-2021 48
144-R502.4.1.1 Points available
On-site and off-site renewable energy systems that meet the requirements of this subsection shall earn
up to three points based on their annual electrical or thermal energy production. Multiple renewable
energy systems may be used to earn points, but no more than three total points may be earned for any
combination of renewable energy systems.
144-R502.4.1.2 Determining the number of points earned
The number of points earned shall be determined according to the steps below. The applicant shall submit
documentation of all related assumptions and calculations.
Step 1: Calculate Renewable Energy Production
The Renewable Energy Production (REP) is the projected annual energy production of the renewable
energy system, expressed in kilowatt-hours per year (kWh/yr). For thermal systems, the conversion 1 kWh
= 3.412 kBtu shall be used.
Step 2: Calculate the Number of Points Earned
The number of points earned for a renewable energy system is based on the directly heated floor area of
the building it serves. Points shall be earned based on a weighted average related to residential and
commercial floor area, as described in Equation 144-5-2. For purposes of this subsection 144-R502.4.1,
residential space shall include dwelling units and common areas that serve only dwelling units.
Equation 5-2: Minimum Renewable Energy Production needed to earn each point =
(1.2 kWh/ft2 x RA) + (2.4 kWh/ft2 x CA)
CA = Directly heated floor area of Commercial space (ft2)
RA = Directly heated floor area of Residential space (ft2)
Note: For buildings that have no commercial space, set CA equal to zero.
Example Calculation - for informational purposes only
Assumptions: Mixed-use building with 2,000 ft2 of residential directly heated floor area and 5,000 ft2 of
commercial directly heated floor area. A 25 kW solar array is being used.
Step 1: Using the PVWatts Calculator, it is projected that the 25 kW solar array will produce 30,000
kWh/year.
Renewable Energy Production is 30,000 kWh/year
Step 2: Using Equation 144-5-2:
Minimum REP needed for each point = (1.2 kWh/ft2 x RA) + (2.4 kWh/ft2 x CA)
Minimum REP needed for each point = (1.2 kWh/ft2 x 2,000 ft2) + (2.4 kWh/ft2 x 5,000 ft2)
Minimum REP needed for each point = 2,400 kWh + 12,000 kWh
Minimum REP needed for each point = 14.400 kWh
Using the assumptions for this building and renewable energy system, two (2) points may be earned.
Energy Code Supplement 06-02-2021 49
144-R502.4.1.3 Energy Sources
Renewable energy systems shall produce electricity from solar, wind, or hydropower resources, or
produce thermal energy from solar, geothermal, or hydrothermal resources. Thermal energy absorbed
from or rejected to outdoor air/ground/water and used in conjunction with heat pumps does not count

VARIANCES
SUBSECTION 144-601 Compliance Documentation
144-601.1.1
The following compliance documentation shall be submitted:
I. For the proposed point system, a checklist that shows which points are sought, and support for
each point. For example, if a developer is seeking the size credit for a house design, the checklist
would show the house area (square feet), number of bedrooms, required house size, and
proposed house size, to show that the house meets the size requirement.
2. For the proposed whole -building compliance, a report by a DESIGN PROFESSIONAL or ENERGY
PROFESSIONAL, at the time of planning review and again when applying for a building permit.
144-601.1.2
Compliance documents are available from the Town of Ithaca website and from the Town Code
Enforcement Department.
144-601.1.3
At the planning review phase, a preliminary green building checklist shall be submitted, indicating which
green compliance items are proposed/planned. A checklist shall be submitted with the construction
documents, prior to the building department issuing the building permit.
SUBSECTION 144-602 Variances
1.14 602.1..
....................................................................
144-602.1.1
Any person aggrieved by an order, interpretation, or decision of a Code Enforcement Officer concerning
the application or requirements of the provisions of this chapter may take an appeal to the Zoning Board
of Appeals.
144-602.1.2
An application for an interpretation or variance shall be submitted to the Building and Code Enforcement
Department in a form substantially indicating the name and owner of the real property, the nature of the
condition for which an interpretation or variance waiver is sought, and the reasons for which an
interpretation or variance is sought.
Energy Code Supplement 06-02-2021 71
144-602.1.3
The applicant shall pay the Town the same fee as that set from time to time by Town Board resolution for
appeals to the Zoning Board of Appeals for area variances from zoning requirements.
144-602.1.4
The Zoning Board of Appeals shall, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, review any order,
interpretation, or decision (including refusals of a building permit or certificate of occupancy or certificate
of compliance) of said Code Enforcement Officer where such order, interpretation, or decision is based
upon the requirements of this chapter.
144-602.1.5
The Zoning Board of Appeals, in hearing an appeal from the order, interpretation, or decision of the Code
Enforcement Officer, shall have the power to make its own interpretation (where an interpretation is
requested), and to grant variances from the standards and requirements of this chapter. Any standard or
requirement of this chapter may be varied, in whole or part, with regard to specific construction upon
application made by or on behalf of an owner, where the applicant meets its burden of demonstrating
strict compliance with such standard or requirement would entail practical difficulty or cause any
unnecessary hardship in relation to such construction, provided, however, that any such variance shall
provide for alternative energy conservation standards or requirements to achieve to the extent
practicable the purpose of this chapter to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
144-602.1.6
In determining whether to grant a variance from a standard or requirement of this chapter, the Zoning
Board of Appeals shall take into consideration the benefit to the applicant if the variance is granted, as
weighed against the detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the community that would result by
such grant. In making such determination, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall also consider and make
findings on the following:
1. Whether the benefits sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the
applicant to pursue, other than a variance;
2. Whether the applicant has proposed to implement other energy or construction options, in place
of the standard or requirement that is the subject of the variance request, that will result in the
least amount practicable of additional greenhouse gas emissions.
3. Whether the variance request will result in a substantial amount of greenhouse gas emissions if
the request is granted.
4. Whether the variance request is unique to the building, project, or site and does not apply to a
substantial portion of the neighborhood or community.
5. Whether the requested variance is the minimum necessary.
6. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created, which consideration shall be relevant to the
decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals but shall not necessarily preclude the granting of the
variance.
Energy Code Supplement 06-02-2021 72
144-602.1.7
If the Zoning Board of Appeals grants a variance, it shall grant the minimum variance necessary, condition
such grant on the imposition of alternative energy conservation standards or requirements to achieve to
the extent practicable the purpose of this chapter to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and impose other
conditions as such Board may reasonably determine necessary to mitigate the consequences of the grant
of the variance.
144-602.1.8
The procedures relating to variances in Chapter 270, Zoning, of the Town of Ithaca Code, and the
procedures set forth in New York Town Law §267-a(5)-(9) and (11)-(13) shall apply, except to the extent
expressly provided otherwise herein or superseded hereby. Those subsections contain procedures and
requirements for the filing of administrative decisions; the time for appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals;
stays upon appeal; hearings of appeals; time, filing and notice of Zoning Board of Appeals decisions;
compliance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act; rehearings; and voting
requirements. In addition to publication of the public hearing notice, the Zoning Board of Appeals notice
of the application shall also be given to all landowners owning property adjoining the property for which
an interpretation or variance is sought. The Zoning Board of Appeals notice shall also be posted on the
property in accordance with the posting provisions of § 270-237 of the Town of Ithaca Code. To the extent
a procedure is not provided herein, the Zoning Board of Appeals may administratively adopt procedures
that are approved by the Town Board and published in the official Minutes of the Town Board of the Town
of Ithaca.
144-602.1.9
The actions and determinations of the Town of Ithaca, the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Town Board, and
the Code Enforcement Officer, as referenced in this chapter, shall be deemed final determinations for
purposes of Article 78 of the New York Civil Practice Laws and Rules (CPLR). Notwithstanding this, standing
under said Article 78 of the CPLR shall only be appropriate after the exhaustion of any administrative
reviews and/or appeals as provided for in this chapter.
144-602.1.10
Unless work has commenced in accordance with the variance granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals
within one year from the issuance of the building permit authorizing such work, or within 18 months of
the granting of such variance, whichever is earlier, not only the building permit but the variance shall
expire and the construction on the property shall revert to those ECS standards and requirements in effect
at the time of variance expiration.
144-602.1.11
If the building permit expires, the variance shall also expire at the same time.

.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................I............
allowance, in watts, shall be determined according to Table 1...4 AA1 (Appendix A) for all areas of the
building covered in this permit. The lighting power allowance shall be determined by multiplying the floor
area of each space times the lighting power density (LPD) value for the space type in Table 1.4.4 AA1 that
most closely represents the proposed use of the space, and then summing the lighting power allowances
for all spaces to calculate the total interior lighting power allowance. Trade-offs among spaces are
permitted. Construction documents shall include a table of space -by -space as -designed lighting power
densities along with the lighting power allowances from Table 1,�' 4 AA1.
J...4. 4 C402.3.4.3 Additional interior lighting power.
An increase in the interior lighting power allowance is permitted for specific lighting functions. Additional
power shall be permitted only where the specified lighting is installed and automatically controlled
separately from the general lighting, to be turned off during non -business hours. This additional power
shall be used only for the specified luminaires and shall not be used for any other purpose. An increase in
the interior lighting power allowance is permitted in the following cases:
1. For lighting equipment to be installed in sales areas specifically to highlight merchandise, the
additional lighting power shall be determined in accordance with Equation 11...4.4 4-10.
Equation .1:.44:::4-1D: Additional interior lighting power allowance = 250 watts + (Retail Area 1 * 0.3
W/ft') + (Retail Area 2 * 0.3 W/ftz) + (Retail Area 3 * 0.7 W/ft2) + (Retail Area 4 * 1.3 W/ftz)
Where:
Retail Area 1 = The floor area for all products not listed in Retail Area 2, 3 or 4
Retail Area 2 = The floor area used for the sale of vehicles, sporting goods, and small electronics.
Retail Area 3 = The floor area used for the sale of furniture, clothing, cosmetics, and artwork.
Retail Area 4 = The floor area used for the sale of jewelry, crystal, and china.
Exception: Other merchandise categories are permitted to be included in Retail Areas 2 through
4, provided that justification documenting the need for additional lighting power based on visual
inspection, contrast, or other critical display is approved by the caa:r..wjai .Cod e 0-_r]fo.o„ t^i.mer]
Officer.
2. For spaces in which lighting is specified to be installed in addition to the general lighting for the
purpose of decorative appearance or for highlighting art or exhibits, provided that the additional
lighting power shall be not more than 0.5 w/ft2 of such spaces.
J...4. 4 C402.3.4.4 Lighting Controls
Except where lighting is required to stay on by New York State or local code, motion sensors are required
for interior lighting in the following space types: office, conference room, kitchenette, corridor, stairwell,

allowance, in watts, shall be determined according to Table 1...4 AA1 (Appendix A) for all areas of the
building covered in this permit. The lighting power allowance shall be determined by multiplying the floor
area of each space times the lighting power density (LPD) value for the space type in Table 1.4.4 AA1 that
most closely represents the proposed use of the space, and then summing the lighting power allowances
for all spaces to calculate the total interior lighting power allowance. Trade-offs among spaces are
permitted. Construction documents shall include a table of space -by -space as -designed lighting power
densities along with the lighting power allowances from Table 1,�' 4 AA1.
J...4. 4 C402.3.4.3 Additional interior lighting power.
An increase in the interior lighting power allowance is permitted for specific lighting functions. Additional
power shall be permitted only where the specified lighting is installed and automatically controlled
separately from the general lighting, to be turned off during non -business hours. This additional power
shall be used only for the specified luminaires and shall not be used for any other purpose. An increase in
the interior lighting power allowance is permitted in the following cases:
1. For lighting equipment to be installed in sales areas specifically to highlight merchandise, the
additional lighting power shall be determined in accordance with Equation 11...4.4 4-10.
Equation .1:.44:::4-1D: Additional interior lighting power allowance = 250 watts + (Retail Area 1 * 0.3
W/ft') + (Retail Area 2 * 0.3 W/ftz) + (Retail Area 3 * 0.7 W/ft2) + (Retail Area 4 * 1.3 W/ftz)
Where:
Retail Area 1 = The floor area for all products not listed in Retail Area 2, 3 or 4
Retail Area 2 = The floor area used for the sale of vehicles, sporting goods, and small electronics.
Retail Area 3 = The floor area used for the sale of furniture, clothing, cosmetics, and artwork.
Retail Area 4 = The floor area used for the sale of jewelry, crystal, and china.
Exception: Other merchandise categories are permitted to be included in Retail Areas 2 through
4, provided that justification documenting the need for additional lighting power based on visual
inspection, contrast, or other critical display is approved by the caa:r..wjai .Cod e 0-_r]fo.o„ t^i.mer]
Officer.
2. For spaces in which lighting is specified to be installed in addition to the general lighting for the
purpose of decorative appearance or for highlighting art or exhibits, provided that the additional
lighting power shall be not more than 0.5 w/ft2 of such spaces.
J...4. 4 C402.3.4.4 Lighting Controls
Except where lighting is required to stay on by New York State or local code, motion sensors are required

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 9, 2021
To: Town Board
From: Nick Goldsmith, Sustainability Planner
Re: Energy Code Supplement
It is my honor and pleasure to submit the final draft of the Energy Code Supplement (ECS) and related
documents. We look forward to discussing adoption of the ECS Local Law at the June 14 meeting of the
Town Board. The City of Ithaca Common Council voted unanimously to adopt the IECS on May S.
Four years ago, the Town partnered with the City of Ithaca to engage a consultant team for the important
work of crafting local legislation to reduce GHG emissions in new buildings. Town and City staff, working
with the consultant team and guided by an extraordinary level of community input, have worked to create
regulations that are achievable, affordable, and impactful.
Since starting the Green Building Policy Project, the Town has gone even farther: we have committed to a
Green New Deal (GND) and to an equitable transition to carbon -neutrality community -wide by 2030. The
Energy Code Supplement will be the biggest piece of the GND yet enacted. But it won't be the biggest piece
forever: we will soon be discussing the monumental task of shifting our entire community building stock
- including all existing buildings - to become net -zero.
The ECS and the Town's developing plans for existing buildings and the GND are in line with the
trajectory of New York State policy, which seems to be headed toward energy and building codes that
require highly efficient, all -electric new construction by 2030, and the prohibition of fossil -fuel -based
equipment in existing buildings by 2035.
Questions remain. For example, will the electric grid incorporate renewables as quickly as planned by
New York State? We cannot know. But we do know that electrification makes sense today. Even when
assuming scenarios favorable for natural gas and unfavorable for heat pumps, we still see GHG reductions
from switching to heat pumps today, and over the life of the building.
With consideration of adoption of the ECS, the Town and the City are leading the way, and hopefully will
inspire other communities - and the State - to take strong legislative action to reduce GHG emissions.
We have provided a copy of the ECS with all changes tracked since the last public draft, dated 01-28-21.
Below is a list of many of the more substantial changes; this is not all-inclusive.
1. Changing title to "Energy Code Supplement" (removing "Ithaca"), per General Code guidance
2. Several changes to Sections 144-1 Title, Purpose, and Findings; 144-2 Scope and Application; and
144-6 Compliance Documentation and Variances, due to Town/City difference in implementation and
enforcement.
3. Timetable in future section: ECS becomes more stringent in 2023/2026 (previously 2025/2030).
Page 112
4. Added new and clarifying language: buildings that are not heated and agriculturalbuildings are
exempt from ECS
5. Substantially updated renewable energy systems sections
6. 2O25Prescriptive Path Summary Table added
7. Level 1 electric vehicle chargers are no longer allowed to be used to get the EV point
R. Small building/room size point: Duplexes and Townhouses will now be treated as multiple single-
family homes (for this point only). So, a duplex is treated as two single family homes for the room
allowances, and a 5 -unit townhouse building will be treated like five single family homes. This adds a
good deal ofavailable space for the projects itaffects.
9. Building/Room size point: Raised allowance for 1-Bflunits iu multifamily from 595 to 600 sq ft (less
than 1Y6ltoalign with NYS HCR requirements.
10. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation -based Compliance: In C403.4.5, now allow data gathered from
actual operation ofcombined heat and power plant. }oC4O3.4.7,the City reserves the right torequire
additional documentation and/or additional third -party review at cost of applicant. Same changes

MEETING OF THE ITHACA TOWN BOARD
June 14, 2021
TB Resolution 2021 — : Noise permit for Ithaca Beer Co. for a Summer Music Series
Whereas, the Town Board held a public hearing on June 14, 2021 regarding a noise permit
application for a Summer Music Series received by Ithaca Beer Co., and discussed the request,
and
Whereas, as stated in the application speakers will be faced to prevent amplified noise bouncing
off brewery and a straw or acoustic paneled backstage will be used, now therefore be it
Resolved that the Town Board grants/denies a noise permit to Ithaca Beer Co. for the purpose of
entertaining Guests at their location of 122 Ithaca Beer Dr., on Wednesdays from 6:00 pm — 8:00
pm through their 2021 summer series of June 16th through September 29th, with the following
Conditions:
1. That the mitigation measures detailed on the application and used successfully in past years
are continued
And with the following
Findings:
1. The waiver from the requirements of Town Code Chapter 184 for the above music event is
necessary for a valid purpose, because music might not be able to conform at all times to the
requirements of Chapter 184, and Ithaca Beer's Planned Development Zone specifically allows
for music events, subject to or upon the issuance of any permits required (Town Code §271-
15.1)(3), and
2. The waiver is the minimal intrusion needed, because the amplification is needed to provide
dinner music to the area, and music is limited to 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., which hours are within
"daytime hours" as defined by Town Code § 184-4; the entertainment is intended to be and has
proven to be background in nature and not overly intrusive; the amplification speakers must be
located on the taproom lawn and face Route 13 and have hay bales stacked to provide some
mitigation where the band is playing, and
3. On balance, the need for and benefits of the waiver outweigh the needs and rights of the
surrounding neighbors to a peaceable and quiet environment, because the music is for a limited
amount of time during the early evenings on the specified dates, with the above -listed limitations
in place to minimize the intrusion on the neighbors.

Subject: Re: noise permit
Thanks Becky. I will drop off the checks tomorrow as I am off today (or at least trying to be, lol). I wanted to get you
something in advance of the meeting on the 14th as an introduction.
The music would be two times per week, likely one weekday day and one weekend day (maybe Tuesday/Friday at
Agava, and Wednesday/Sunday at Parrilla). The size of the bands will vary. The small groups would not have sound that
would extend beyond the property. The bigger groups will be at Agava and probably only one time per month. I would
be happy to provide a schedule as I get things booked as to location, direction, and size of crowd/band etc. I can have
this in advance of the planning board meeting on the 28th. It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation as I don't want to
book people without some type of permissions in place. I can revisit the schedule each month for the Town if that is
preferred. I will be the contact for any complaints and will make sure my information is clearly posted on our social
media, website, posters, and event invites.
July 2nd at Parrilla (RaNic) will be two medium sized bands with similar PA setups that shouldn't extend beyond the
property. Music will go from 6pm to 9pm and then fireworks. The rest of the day we will have music that is DJ'd through
a regular PA system. I will be facing this towards the clubhouse near the pond and it will be directed to an audience that
is only on-site. Speakers will be turned in so that the impact on residences will be small or non-existent. We will also be
flyering and inviting all neighbors to attend this fun day and include my contact info. I am particularly sensitive about
fireworks and like to make neighbors aware as it has impacts for pets, people with autism, or PTSD, etc.
Our COVID protocols will be in place at both locations. We have been screening all attendees at events with Excelsior
passes or vaccination cards. We contact trace any individual who is not vaccinated and they are required to wear a mask
when not seated and eating. We will create socially distanced pods for all events, marked with flags. All people are asked
the basic COVID screening questions.
Please let me know what other information I can provide.
Thank you so much for your help!
Best regards,
Vicki

Thanks Becky for speaking with me about events in the Town of Ithaca.
I am attaching two applications. One for Agava, and one for Parrilla. I hired a company for fireworks on July 2nd today

MEETING OF THE ITHACA TOWN BOARD
Wednesday, May 12, 2021
Draft Minutes
Board Members Present: Rod Howe, Supervisor; Members Eric Levine, Bill Goodman, and
Pat Leary
Staff Present: Susan Brock, Attorney for the Town; Judy Drake, Director of Human Resources;
Marty Mosely, Director of Code Enforcement; Susan Ritter, Director of Planning; Joe Slater,
Director of Public Works; Donna Shaw, Director of Finance; Dan Thaete, Director of
Engineering, Becky Jordan, Deputy Town Clerk
Mr. Howe opened the meeting at 5:30 p.m.
1. Consider approval of necessary emergency and maintenance repairs at the Ithaca
Area Wastewater Treatment Facility
Mr. Goodman gave an overview of the repairs needed due to an blockage at the facility and the
need for this special meeting for emergency repairs.
TB Resolution 2021 - 065: Approve Emer2ency Repairs for Ithaca Area Wastewater
Treatment Facility Activated Sludge Blowers
Whereas, the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility (IAWWTF) is owned and operated by
the Town of Ithaca, City of Ithaca, and Town of Dryden ("Municipal Owners"), and the activated
sludge process is a secondary treatment component at the IAWWTF, and
Whereas, biological growth in the activated sludge tanks is maintained through aeration, the
process of mixing compressed air (oxygen) with settled wastewater in the process tanks to
sustain biological treatment, and
Whereas, the IAWWTF has two (2) Turblex and two (2) Hoffman industrial grade blower(s) to
provide compressed air to treatment processes, and
Whereas, both of the Turblex blowers suffered catastrophic bearing and impeller failures in
December 2020, and March 2021, respectively, eliminating system redundancy, and
Whereas, a recent failure analysis, diagnostic and service report provided by BCV Systems
substantiated these catastrophic failures, and
Whereas, in accordance with State standards, the facility cannot operate as designed without
having a redundant means for aeration, and
Whereas, IAWWTF engineering consultants MRB Group, Engineering, Architecture &
Surveying, D.P.C. ("MRB Group") evaluated blower repairs and replacements and evaluated
three vendors as options for recommended blower replacements, and in its April 23, 2021 draft
report MRB Group recommended blower replacements, with an estimated average project cost
of $328,800, and
Whereas, in comment 4 of the report, MRB Group notes that the need for repair or replacement
is "urgent" and states that with only two functioning blowers, IAWWTF has many operational
concerns which constitute an "emergency," including a lack of process redundancy and an
inability to fine tune aeration rates; these alone can lead to undesirable operational conditions
causing excessive biological growth leading to potential SPDES permit exceedances and
improperly treated wastewater, and
Whereas, after receipt of additional information and further evaluation, in an email dated May
10, 2021, MRB Group now recommends blower repairs (instead of replacements) as the best and
most cost efficient strategy, with a factory rebuild of the two (2) Turblex blowers, along with
associated programming and mechanical modifications, and
Whereas, MRB Group prepared a Cost Estimate for Ithaca Blower Rebuild last updated on May
11, 2021 ("Cost Estimate") with a total repair cost of $237,970, which cost is reduced to
$230,570 once the $7,400 allocated to warranty is removed (because the warranty is included in
a separate proposed Service Agreement); the Cost Estimate is based on proposals by Howden
Roots LLC ("Howden") for in -factory evaluation, parts, and start-up support, a BCV Systems
proposal for additional parts (Howden will provide these parts as well), estimated controls
integration by LECTRE Development, Inc., estimated MRB Group engineering costs, and
estimates of labor and associated costs for blower removal and installation by MA Bongiovanni,
Inc. and Matco Electric Corporation, and
Whereas, Howden Roots LLC has also proposed a three-year Service Agreement in the amount
of $67,400 that includes a three-year warranty on Howden's blowers components repairs and
three years of maintenance on the rebuilt Turblex blowers; the IAWWTF's current annual
expenditure of $17,000-$20,000/year on Turblex blowers maintenance by BCV Systems would
cease if the Municipal Owners enter into the three-year Service Agreement with Howden Roots
LLC, and
Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") and
its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by the Ithaca Town
Board that approval of the project is a Type II action because it constitutes "maintenance or
repair involving no substantial changes in an existing structure or facility," and thus approval of
the project is not subject to review under SEQRA, now, therefore be it
Resolved, for the reasons stated above, and pursuant to the provisions of New York General
Municipal Law § 103(4), the Ithaca Town Board finds and determines that a public emergency
exists at the IAWWTF arising out of an unforeseen occurrence or condition whereby
circumstances affecting the life, health, safety or property of the IAWWTF and the Town of
Ithaca and other municipalities bordering the southern end of Cayuga Lake require immediate
action which cannot await competitive bidding, and be it further
Resolved, that the Ithaca Town Board approves (1) the rebuild of the two (2) Turblex blowers as
described in the Cost Estimate and its attached documents, for a cost, including contingencies,
not to exceed the sum total of Two Hundred Thirty Thousand Five Hundred Seventy Dollars and
No Cents ($230,570.00), and (2) the three-year Service Agreement with Howden Roots LLC in
the amount of Sixty -Seven Thousand Four Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($67,400.00), and
authorizes the Town Supervisor to execute contracts or contract amendments with Howden
Roots LLC, LECTRE Development, Inc., MRB Group, Engineering, Architecture & Surveying,
D.P.C., MA Bongiovanni, Inc. and Matco Electric Corporation for such project, subject to the
approval of the Attorney for the Town, and be it further
Resolved, that funds necessary for said repairs to blowers be derived from the following sources
as determined by the Ithaca City Controller: operating funds, Fund balance, serial bonds issued
by the City of Ithaca (the Town of Ithaca would not co -issue or be liable on the bonds and would
reimburse the City of Ithaca through a contract), capital reserves, grants and Federal stimulus
funds, with the respective shares of the Municipal Owners' costs allocated as required by the
Joint Sewer Agreement (revised December 31, 2003, and last amended February 20, 2019), and
be it further
Resolved, that the approvals and authorizations in this resolution are contingent on IAWWTF co-
owners City of Ithaca and Town of Dryden approving and authorizing said blowers rebuild and
contracts.
Moved: Bill Goodman Seconded: Pat Leary
Vote: Ayes — Levine, Howe, Goodman, and Leary
TB Resolution 2021 - 066: Approve Emergency Repairs for Ithaca Area Wastewater
Treatment Facility Digesters
Whereas, the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility (IAWWTF) is owned and operated by
the Town of Ithaca, City of Ithaca, and Town of Dryden ("Municipal Owners"), and primary and
secondary sludge digestion is a vital process at the IAWWTF, and
Whereas, digestion is necessary in dewatering and stabilizing solids for disposal, biogas
production for heating and electrical generation, and in the receipt of trucked in wastes, a
revenue generating service, and
Whereas, on the night of March 11-12, 2021, a blockage caused by excessive debris in the
primary digester overflow line caused the liquid level in the tank to surge upwards and lift the
digester cover approximately 18 inches, breaking anchor bolts, mounts, and concrete, and
Whereas, the immediate blockage was relieved by Drain Brain sewer service and the excess
liquid was drained, allowing the primary digester cover to settle back into place but it is no
longer anchored in place, and
Whereas, the digester will need extensive repairs to the cover, anchorage system, and sludge
piping and valves to remove further blockages and restore reliable digester operations, and
Whereas, in accordance with standards, the facility cannot operate as designed without the
primary digester in operation, and
Whereas, the loss of sludge management and treatment provided by this facility presents many
concerns including, but not limited to, the inability to adequately maintain appropriate sludge
treatment standards, the potential inability to meet plant SPDES permit requirements, the
inability to adequately process sludge, increases in trucking, hauling, and disposal costs, the
inability to properly receive trucked in waste from regional sources that rely on the IAWWTF for
treatment, the potential loss of revenue, and increases in costly plant energy consumption, and
Whereas, in a letter (last revised on May 12, 2021) by GHD Consulting Services Inc. ("GHD"),
which was hired to evaluate emergency repairs for the primary digester, the opening narrative
states that the issues with the primary digester and associated equipment constitute an
"emergency situation which requires immediate action" on the part of the IAWWTF, and
Whereas, the letter identifies a number of actions that need to be addressed as part of the
emergency repair (the "project"), including removal of primary digester contents, repair of the
primary digester anchoring system, evaluation, cleaning, inspection and repairs of the piping
systems associated with both the primary and secondary digesters, along with work on the
supporting appurtenances as well as secondary digester cleaning, inspections and repairs, and
Whereas, in a separate May 12, 2021 letter, GHD provided an Opinion of Probable Costs for the
project of $1,500,000, plus a 10% contingency, with a Total Opinion of Costs of $1,650,000, and
Whereas, at its April 28, 2021 special meeting, the IAWWTF's Special Joint Committee ("SJC")
adopted a resolution recommending to its municipal boards that they approve said project not to
exceed the sum total of $1,650,000, which total GHD had provided to the SJC as a preliminary
estimate (and subsequently confirmed in its May 12, 2021 letter), and
Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") and
its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by the Ithaca Town
Board that approval of the project is a Type II action because it constitutes "maintenance or
repair involving no substantial changes in an existing structure or facility," and thus approval of
the project is not subject to review under SEQRA, now, therefore be it
Resolved, for the reasons stated above, and pursuant to the provisions of New York General
Municipal Law § 103(4), the Ithaca Town Board finds and determines that a public emergency
exists at the IAWWTF arising out of an unforeseen occurrence or condition whereby
circumstances affecting the life, health, safety or property of the IAWWTF and the Town of
Ithaca and other municipalities bordering the southern end of Cayuga Lake require immediate
action which cannot await competitive bidding, and be it further
Resolved, that the Ithaca Town Board approves the emergency digesters repairs project, as
described in GHD's two May 12, 2021 letters, for a cost, including contingencies, not to exceed
the sum total of One Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($1,650,000.00),
and authorizes the Town Supervisor to execute contracts or contract amendments with MA
Bongiovanni, Inc. and GHD Consulting Services Inc. for such project, subject to the approval of
the Attorney for the Town, and be it further
Resolved, that funds necessary for said project shall be derived from the following sources as
determined by the Ithaca City Controller: insurance recovery, serial bonds issued by the City of
Ithaca (the Town of Ithaca would not co -issue or be liable on the bonds and would reimburse the
City of Ithaca through a contract), grants and Federal stimulus funds, with the respective shares
of the Municipal Owners' costs allocated as required by the Joint Sewer Agreement (revised
December 31, 2003, and last amended February 20, 2019), and be it further
Resolved, that the approvals and authorizations in this resolution are contingent on IAWWTF co-
owners City of Ithaca and Town of Dryden approving and authorizing said project and contracts.

Town of Ithaca
215 N. Tioga St.
Ithaca, NY 14850
Dear Town of Ithaca Board,
We are a small, local 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization focused on the growing of
environmental and human rights literacy, self-sufficiency and healthy lifestyles in young people
and their families. To support this work, we are eager to develop this sustainably -run farm
space, in an ecologically -sound style, as an agricultural center to preserve the healthy pursuit of
life on land for socially disadvantaged youth and families.
Our five year needs are as follows:
• Youth and family agriculture training programming - youth after school and summer
program, weekend visits for families
• 10 small temporary family dwellings for summer stays
• Commercial / teaching kitchen for garden produce use and nutrition education
Our five -ten year plans include the following:
• A welcome and learning center/ farm stand
The plan is for up to forty kids plus 1 teacher per 10 children (4) / 1 administrator / 1 farm
manager and 1 farm assistant to be on-site and involved with the various educational programs
each season.
The After School program will operate according to the ICSD school calendar - Late August -
Late June M -F 2-5:30pm except during school holidays and off days.
The Summer Program will operate during Summer for the last 5 weeks the ICSD school
calendar designates as summer break. Late July - Late August Mon -Fri 8am-5:30pm
Family farming programming will occur the first 5 weeks of Summer Late June - Late July for 5
consecutive week-long stays.
The existing property is comprised of 15.5 acres of mixed-use land. Approx. 6 acres of arable
agriculture land planted currently in perennial fruit trees, grapevines, berry bushes and annual
and perennial vegetables, culinary herbs and fruit beds. Plans are to further develop these plots
along the same lines in future. There is approx. 7 acres of forest and creek-scape land that will
remain untouched and will be used for forest and riparian / watershed study, art, meditation,
self -reflection and a small site for mushroom logs. There is approx. 2 acres of rocky / gravel
open field on which we'd like to site a welcome and learning center / farm stand.
All of the land at present and in future will be used for educational and small group / family
natural world recreation purposes.
Existing structures include a farm house where the administrator's family lives year round, a
barn with storage areas and two finished rooms for gathering in inclement weather, a 400 sq. ft.
cottage for the farm manager and a shed.
Current animals on the farm include 2 Nigerian Dwarf Goats and 27 chickens. Future plans for
animals include a pony and two female sheep. All animals and plants are used for
environmental stewardship and sustainable agricultural teaching purposes.
A diverse array of young people come to the farm for after school and summer programming.
Some families pay for registration and others are free, depending on financial need and any
family histories of marginalization or social disadvantage.
The ten families per year participating in Summer 5 week stays are families from diverse
backgrounds - mainly food insecure black, white, Indigenous, people of color who are seeking to
make lifestyle changes with regard to their work and food systems interactions. They are mainly
Tompkins County residents who have experienced systemic racism or other forms of economic
marginalization and its impacts on their housing and food sources. They are looking to live and
behave more sustainably with regard to their impacts on the natural environment and feel it is
important to have power and agency in the protection of our environment and in the
development of healthier food and housing interactions. They would be staying on the farm for a
five-week intensive practicum in order to gain valuable knowledge and practice in sustainable
agriculture and environmentally protective methods of living. They are eager to make changes
and eager to engage with energy efficiency and renewables as well as community development
work.
Ten (10) small temporary dwellings for Summer stays will be yurt-style structures to house a
single families between approximately 2-6 people. A camp/composting toilet, sink and shower
would be provided in each dwelling, along with a kitchenette with a mini fridge and counter
space for minimal food prep. No stove. People will learn about sustainable agriculture, ag and
green business development and ecological living and develop a positive personal connection
with nature and farmland.
A 1,000 sq. ft. commercial kitchen will be used as a means to support nutritious cooking classes
for small groups of K-12 students in two cohorts of twenty students each (40 total students
on-site) as well as small-scale product development. Two families at a time will utilize the
kitchen for group meal preparation.
One of our family programs includes field trips to neighboring farms for children and their
parents and caregivers to learn about where their food comes from and how they can be a more
integral part of our local food production system. We partner with these local farms and farming
and youth development organizations in order to provide this aspect of our program:
The Youth Farm Project
Groundswell Center for Local Food and Farming
Pressbay Alley Food Hub
Wellspring Forest Farm
Van Noble Farm
Here We Are Farm
The existing barn has two classrooms which are used for shelter purposes for programming for
50 people split over the two rooms during inclement weather.
I have been told by Town of Ithaca staff that the described uses are currently not allowed in our
applied zoning. Because we believe this is a beneficial use as well as a neighbor and
community supported use for this property, we are requesting a special zoning provision to
make space for this unique work that we seek to do.
Though the type of land use that we are requesting does not fit any zoning models the Town of
Ithaca currently has, our goals align very closely with those of the Town's regarding the
promotion of agricultural uses of land in Ithaca's surrounding farmland.
We look forward to hearing from you on this matter. Please reach out with any questions or with
any further information needed to inform your decision to consider ways to make a change in
zoning.
Sincerely,
Christa Nunez
