Randall, Director of Planning 2/15/23 TOWN OF ITHACA PLANNING BOARD February 21, 2023 MINUTES Present: Greg Lindquist, Chair; Members Fred Wilcox, Liz Bageant, Yvonne Fogarty, Cindy Kaufman, Bill Arms, and Kelda McGurk. Ariel Casper(remote) CJ Randall and Chris Balestra, Planning; Marty Moseley, Codes; Susan Brock, Attorney for the Town; John Little, IT; Dan Thaete and David O'Shea, Engineering and Becky Jordan, Deputy Town Clerk Mr. Greg Lindquist called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. with the introduction of new members Kelda McGurk, Alternate and Caitlin Cameron coming on board in April 2023. Announcement of Yvonne's April retirement from the planning board after many years of service. Agenda Item 1 Preliminary and Final Subdivision Approval, Cortright 2-Lot Subdivision, 653 Elmira Road, Tax Parcel 35.-1-18 Overview Mr. Goodman stated the project has been in the works for decades now and is part of the Black Diamond Trail project that New York State Parks has been working on for a long time. In the meeting material there is the Planning Board approval for the subdivision from 23 years ago in 2000. The subdivision wasn't consummated back then because NYS Parks discovered title issues with the property so the approval expired after 10 years. A couple of years ago I started working with Tompkins County to try to help NYS Parks out with getting rights to the remaining private parcels for the lower Black Diamond Trail which goes from Buttermilk Falls State Park to Lower Treman. About four years ago there was a subdivision of six acres at the back part of Eddydale Farm property. The Town bought that and is planning on transferring it to NYS Parks. The parcel on tonight's agenda became part of a lien foreclosure auction at the end of January. The Grimm's, owners of Gray Haven Motel were the high bidders at the foreclosure auction, so we've been working with them to buy the back portion which requires the same subdivision approval granted in 2000. The Town will then transfer the property to NYS Parks so they can combine parcels and move forward with the Black Diamond Trail. Mr. Wilcox asked who currently owns the parcel under consideration? Mr. Goodman stated that on paper the current owner may be the Estate of Isaac Cortright but they were sued by the Estate of Orson Ledger, so the court ordered it to be sold at auction. The Grimm's were the high bidders. The Town Board entered into a purchase contract contingent on the closing which there is 30 days to occur. Mr. Lindquist asked if the foreclosure would dissolve all liens against the property currently such as municipal land or county taxes? Are there any taxes that the county will waive? PB 2023-02-21 (Filed 3/16) Pg 1 Mr. Goodman replied that the minimum amount of about$355,000 set for auction includes all back taxes so the estate will be paying off all back taxes once bid amount is received at closing. Ms. Fogarty inquired whether the total lot amount is 61 acres. Ms. Balestra replied no, it includes land already town owned.

Moved: Ariel Casper Seconded: Fred Wilcox Vote: ayes—Casper, Kaufman, Wilcox, Fogarty, Lindquist, Arms, and Bageant Item 2 Sketch plan for the proposed Mirabito convenience store, fuel canopy, and car wash, located at 301 Pine Tree Road. The project involves demolishing the existing Mirabito building and re-developing the site with a new 6,600+/- square foot Mirabito convenience store with fuel canopy and carwash, along with an adjoining fast-food restaurant with drive-thru. This is an Unlisted Action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act and is subject to environmental review. Cornell University, Owner; Mirabito Energy Products—Brett Hughes, Applicant/Agent. Overview Mr. Neal Zinsmeyer; Engineer from Napierala Consulting introduced Brett Hughes; Mirabito/tenant, Kristen Gutenberger; Cornell Real Estate and Jim Ballantyne from his team. Mirabito is looking to upgrade many of their stores, this being one of them. It is a total of 6,600 sf building, 4,800 of which is Mirabito and 1,800 for Burger King with the drive thru. This is a big upgrade for Mirabito as the current store is about 200 sf. We are proposing eight fueling stations, which is the number of dispensing units the current station has now. We ended up with PB 2023-02-21 (Filed 3/16) Pg 4 this site scenario based on the split zone with Commercial on the east side, VFR on the west in order to keep form going down a zone change path. We are looking for sketch plan input to take back and discuss with team and move forward through the process. Mr. Lindquist asked if there may be any thought as to location of green space being pushed further out toward the street to act as a buffer and patio seating be shaded from street view? Mr. Zinsmeyer responded certainly, that was one of the comments from county planning as well and they will take that into consideration. Mr. Arms emphasized a key point in the Town of Ithaca Conservation Board environmental review in that all other buildings on that street are well set back from the street with green space in between street and building. Putting such a large building right on the corner has all sorts of disadvantages. There are two quite spacious areas being consolidated into one and I can't help thinking too much is being squeezed into one reduced area. Ms. Bageant commented that the sketch plan looks a lot like what is there right now. Would like to see something more aligned with the visions that the Town and Cornell has for this area in terms of pedestrian friendliness and a denser community feel. Mr. Hughes replied that they are very much willing to work with Cornell and the Town to create an upscale convenience center. We're really going to invest and put thought and effort into upscale architecture and collaborate with the walkability much like urban planning. What exists there today is very underserving of the area. We want to bring some of the modern architecture, food service offerings and technology when it comes to fueling equipment. Traditional fossil fuels are not going away any time soon,but we are very much paying attention to alternative fuels. Also, we have a partnership with the New York Power Authority to deploy vehicle charging stations throughout the region so we look forward to offering EV charging at this location. We are putting a lot of thought and effort and being very cognizant of how we make this an upscale offer for the community to last years and years. Ms. Kaufman asked if the quantity of parking is based on code requirement for the building size and how did you come up with the size of the building? My biggest concern is the size of the building. The canopy is going to be very large. Mr. Hughes replied that as far as the fueling positions they are proposing the same as what exists today which is four fueling dispensers. We want to leave room for alternative supply. Parking is a big part of the convenience as is allowing people to get in and out easily. Mr. Zinsmeyer added that the goal is to be efficient, and they have minimums to meet the needs of both businesses. This is a typical scenario to meet the parking code. Mr. Hughes commented that the building that exists today is not sufficient to compete. The business has evolved, and we want to keep pace with the modern offerings. In other communities where we've had opportunity to redevelop with our modern convenience offerings has been very well received. Big emphasis on full food service offering while still maintaining the typical core PB 2023-02-21 (Filed 3/16) Pg 5 convenience items that you find in most convenience stores. Burger King was an interesting touch to this project as an existing operator that has served the community for some time. We're really in collaboration with Cornell and the Town to put forth a development plan that reinvigorates and still leans on the legacy offerings that have existed at the corner for some time and one that is going to be around for another 50 years. Ms. Fogarty wondered if 6,600 sf of convenience store is really needed in the community with P&C and the drugstore across the street that carries food as well. It doesn't fit in with the neighborhood. Mr. Hughes commented that in collaborating with Kristin and the Cornell team and their architects there is an emphasis on aesthetics and that what the project team is proposing, architecturally speaking, meet the objectives that are in line with the vision for East Hill. Mr. Arms asked if they weren't working to the zoning restrictions would it have helped to find better or different locations to place the building? Mr. Zinsmeyer replied that they looked at many scenarios and obviously the driving force was the zoning. There were 18 other versions of sketch plans before presenting the current one before presenting to the town. Mr. Hughes stated that there were preapplication workshops with Sue Ritter, former Director of Planning and Marty, Director of Code Enforcement and we looked at quite a few scenarios with their guidance and this is a plan that everyone felt pretty comfortable putting forward that meets the requirements from zoning perspective while allowing us to evolve and still maintain the existing uses that are there today. Ms. Randall referred to the Cornell Master Plan for East Hill Village gearing it more toward a visitors center but which also indicates gateway improvements at this intersection. Is this intended to be part of the project? Some of the enabling projects are to remove gas station and fast-food restaurant. The plan calls out parcel 17f It is my understanding there is an emphasis on gateway features and improvements. Is this still relevant and applicable? Ms. Gutenberger replied that while she appreciates the comment, Cornell's plans have evolved over the years since the last master plan was created. It would be best to consult with Cornell Planning. We have asked for the building to be forward, and canopy be in back so that it creates somewhat of a gateway. This will all be run through our planning and architects' office to try to be as consistent with that plan as possible. Mr. Moseley agreed. Conversations have occurred between the project team and the Town whereas Planning encouraged placement of the building be in closer proximity to the road based on the Towns comprehensive plan and traditional new neighborhood development. Ms. Balestra commented that it is a vision of the comprehensive plan to have this be a traditional neighborhood high density development since it's our major commercial area in the town. To Mr. Arms comment, it does go contrary to what the environmental review committee would want PB 2023-02-21 (Filed 3/16) Pg 6 to see, which is more of a suburban style development with buildings farther back from the road. Mr. Thaete highlighted that Ellis Hollow and Pine Tree are county roads and in county jurisdiction and their comment letter included in the packet states they don't like the location of entrances. Also, from an engineering perspective on sewer capacity, the car wash may be an issue for our sewer system. How realistic that is will be determined once we get some flow data. One other thing we just found out is that the entrance on Ellis Hollow Road lines up with an existing box culvert that goes under Ellis Hollow and I know that is slated, under our current projects, to be replaced so the entrance on Ellis Hollow right now is not good from a stormwater perspective and from what the county said. Mr. Casper asked if parcel two [Former Burger King] is going to be left as a deteriorating parking lot or what is the long-term plan for that? Ms. Gutenberger responded that Cornell doesn't have any specific plans for that approximate 1 acre parcel right now. We are hoping to be able to develop that with some sort of community asset as well whether it be another commercial space and what that may be is yet to be seen. The building will be raised so it will be a clean site. Ms. Bageant commented that she visited the site today and was struck to see more green space there than she realized. With this plan is there a net gain or loss relative to what's there right now? Mr. Zinsmeyer responded that they don't have numbers yet but as they move forward, they'll show an increased landscaping plan including green space and stormwater. Mr. Hughes added that they are very much prepared to put forth a landscaping plan above and beyond what they are typically accustomed to as far as screening. Mr. Lindquist, referring to the design, particular with the drive-through, asked how many cars are they looking to stack, is there a minimum that the operator needs and is there going to be one window, two windows? Mr. Zinsmeyer responded there are two windows and ten or so stacking from the window which may change based on layout moving forward but ten is usually the goal. Mr. Hughes added that the stacking number minimum requirements are dictated by fast food operations and will come from Burger King Corporate. Mr. Wilcox pointed out that the conservation board talked about flooding that occurs in that area and when the county redid that intersection a number of years ago it actually worsened the flooding problem. Mr. Thaete provided that the box culvert that exists at the Ellis Hollow entrance drains most of the water across the street and it gets into the center island which is what we see as flooding. The county is replacing the box culvert at the intersection with one of increased size and capacity and PB 2023-02-21 (Filed 3/16) Pg 7 replacing the box culvert out of the center island, a design to direct discharge the water down through there so that intersection shouldn't flood anymore. The project is awarded and should be starting in the next couple of months. Mr. Wilcox is concerned with the car wash as it relates to traffic circulation. Ms. Kaufman asked for better understanding of Cornell's gateway concept. Ms. Gutenberger replied that with so many people coming in from RT 79 and Pine Tree Road Cornell wants to make sure the approach to the University is sensitive with way finding signs and not just gas stations in your face. Cornell doesn't have control of Dunkin Donuts or Walgreens because it is not their property but they can work with Mirabito and what happens with this site. Ms. Balestra commented that if this project advances to the preliminary site plan stage of review the applicants needs to provide a lot more detail than what they provided tonight. The board is going to want to see trip generation, stacking, traffic analysis for the proposed use, lighting, energy usage, project compliance with energy code supplement, building elevations, colors, building plans, stormwater management plans, information on utilities, landscaping, signage to name some. Herb Engman commented that he uses East Hill plaza and the fueling station there and agree that the current entrance to the service station on Pine Tree Road is terrible. He couldn't tell from the graphic whether it had moved back toward P&C more but since Cornell controls all that property they ought to be able to design an ideal entrance and exit situation. Cars coming from Ellis Hollow Road whip around that corner and people coming out at the current entrance are in grave danger. This project does seem to be designed to increase customer traffic which is the reason for expanding and that means that there really has to be a walkway across Pine Tree Road at the light because you take your life in your hands trying to get across the road there. There needs to be a pedestrian walkway across Pine Tree. If a car wash is to go in there it should have the very latest technology in treating salt, oil, and gas that comes off vehicles. There's already a large car wash just a few hundred feet away and the system certainly doesn't need more run off from that sort of facility. When Burger King first started up, they made some agreements about litter control as that was one of the major concerns about a fast food place and fast food being a high contributor to roadside litter. It should be required that there be no foam or plastic used. I hope that things are looked at very carefully as this would be a major change to the East Hill area. Ms. Brock stated that the project will need a special permit. Mr. Hughes thanked the board and stated he's going to work with the development team and take all the comments, input, and history of the site and intersection to put together a nice project for everybody in the end. This is a family owned and operated business going on about 100 years and the business has evolved over the years. Item 4 Persons to be heard -None PB 2023-02-21 (Filed 3/16) Pg 8 Item 5 Other Business There are two items on the next agenda thus far,The Learning Farrn at 272 Enfield Falls Road and a three-lot subdivision and consolidation on Haller Blvd. Ms. Bageant and Mr. Arms are unavailable on March 21". Regarding meeting minutes, the board needs to decide whether or not to change from having the minutes on the agenda for the board as a whole to review and approve to the discretion of the chair. The general consensus is not to change from the board receiving minutes on the agenda. Update on the proposed Ithaca College football field: Ms. Balestra provided that there was a coordinated internal staff meeting with the applicant. There was codes, engineering, and planning staff. They submitted materials on March 9, 2020 for the Butterfield stadium project and then the world shut down three or four days later. The materials that they are going to present to the planning board are going to be largely similar. Once we receive the materials they will be placed on the agenda. Update on Visum Development: Ms. Balestra provided that about 15 months ago Visum purchased properties in the city and the town, one of which is off Honness Lane. Planning staff has not heard anything about a project yet. Ranic upcoming in spring. Meeting adjourned at 8:54 pm upon motion by Fred Wilcox, seconded by William Arrns.
