Town of Ithaca Planning Committee Thursday,July 20, 2023 (3:00 PM Aurora Conference Room and on Zoom) Draft Minutes Committee members: Rich DePaolo, Chair; Rod Howe; Margaret Johnson. Board/Staff members: Director of Planning C.J. Randall; Town Civil Engineer Sam Jilson; Director of Codes Marty Moseley(3:15). Guests: Sandra Schmitz via Zoom. 1. Persons to be heard: None 2. Committee announcements and concerns: Rod asked to add proposed RaNic Planned Development Zone to the end of the meeting for an update. 3.Approval of May meeting minutes: Rod moved; Margaret seconded. The May 18, 2023, minutes were approved with two minor changes. 4. Consider request for a Limited Historic Commercial Overlay District for Hayt's Chapel and Schoolhouse 1296-1298 Trumansburg Road. Property owner Alexa Schmitz submitted a Narrative Description and Justification for the request along with a proposed Preservation Plan and Inspection Report with photos.Alexa and her husband were unable to attend the meeting; Sandra Schmitz joined via Zoom videoconference on the applicant's behalf. It was noted that this historic property has been used as a long-term and short-term rental property without permit or restrictions.Applying for enactment of Limited Historic Commercial Overlay District would permit and formalize milestones and deliverables to preserve the historic nature of the property. Upon review of the documents provided, the committee asked for a revised draft Narrative and Preservation plan with the addition or clarification of the following: Add the text"number of days" after"unlimited" on page 1. Proposed Use. Under Feasibility, the committee wanted clarity on the number of sleeping units and total proposed occupancy (set up for 2 adults, 2 children currently per Sandra).Note was made that this will be determined ultimately by the Codes department. Page 2, the statement that"It will also permit more members of the public each year to appreciate the historic structures"was asked to be clarified as the use of the buildings is not proposed to be changed from its previous use, possibly this means compared to the base zoning restrictions. There should be consistency between the items noted for immediate correction and the Preservation Plan (some are under the within 2-year timeline but noted elsewhere in the inspection report as immediate) as well as the specific materials proposed to be used in the repairs. Clarify timeline under 121 Long Term property maintenance "regular inspection and maintenance". Who classifies the "professional"to inspect the exterior every 5 years. Next steps for the applicants: Director of Codes Marty Moseley will set up a meeting with the applicant and C.J, Director of Planning to go over the comments and anticipated revisions. The application will 1 come back to the Planning Committee in August for a potential recommendation to the Town Board for re-zoning. The Applicant would then apply to the Planning Board for a Special Permit before operating permits could be issued. 5. Update: Tompkins Green Energy Network(TGEN) Master Implementation Plan. Rod reported that a DER(distributed energy resources)plan was received and will go to the Town Board in August. Initially it was anticipated that the Master Implementation Plan would come back to the Planning Committee for review, however at this time it is solely the DER Plan that will go to the Town Board with a memo from the Sustainability Planner to explain. The DER plan may need an additional meeting for attorney review prior to town board adoption. 6. Update: City of Ithaca Draft Encampment Policy. A draft document and map were emailed to the committee members prior to the meeting. The map was briefly shown on screen by a committee member and appears to cover a city owned property within the town. It was suggested that Rod contact the city and request a representative to briefly present and explain the draft policy to the town board. 7. Update: East Shore Drive Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Corridor Project. C.J. updated the committee that the proposals for the R.O.W. survey/mapping (Erdman Anthony&Associates) and the Feasibility Study(Barton&Loguidice)have been approved by the Town Board and a kickoff meeting will be scheduled soon, noting multi agency and interdepartmental coordination needed as well. Funding for the project was awarded by NYS Assemblymember Anna Kelles, who recently visited Town Hall in person. It was mentioned that the project could be put on the town website for public awareness. 8. Update: Financial Feasibility Analysis of Residential Development or South Hill Traditional Neighborhood Development(TND). C.J. updated that the (up to IOK) grant fund assistance application from the County to offset the cost of this analysis was approved recently. There is a new affordable housing scenario needed (if the County funding is accepted) which was not specifically written into the Camoin Associates proposal/scope of work that was previously approved. C.J. asked the committee their thoughts on requesting a revision to the Camoin Scope of work. The other option could be to decline the funding from the County. Rich noted the desire for an effective outcome for the project if an additional large piece or deliverable is added. The total cost of the study as previously approved was $19,500. C.J. will reach out to Camoin to clarify if they will add the affordable housing piece to the current proposal and report back to the committee as well as get more clarification with the county as to the desired outcome of the additional piece and proposed draft language for the amendment to the scope. 9. Staff updates and reports. Rod noted there has been some concern in the Village of Cayuga Heights over the marketing material for the proposed sale of the RaNic Golf course. He asked if there were any Town concerns about the wording or description of the proposed PDZ. Staff and committee members read the listing and although approval of the PDZ and future plans are implied, the language describing where the project is in the process is generally accurate and did not cause significant concern at this time. The existing zoning possibilities and Town Comprehensive Plan language was briefly discussed. C.J. updated that the Longview facility has been in contact for possible upgrades to their facility. Sewer capacity in the area was mentioned and the owners will apply to the Planning Board once the details are 2 formalized. Tareyton Drive property-still awaiting information, water and sewer issues as well as park land conveyance. Maplewood II is still being discussed,water connection with city or town and upgrades needed to the water main to be determined. Southworks is hiring for a Development Services Manager and an RFP is out for architectural services for the residential area in the town("The Woods") as the first development focus-this will be a project that needs close coordination with the City of Ithaca for infrastructure and other concerns. Potentially, the GEIS would need to re-opened if the new development exceeds any previously approved thresholds. 11.Next meeting date and upcoming agenda items: August 17t', 2023 3:00 p.m. possible revised LHCOD application for Hayt's Chapel and Schoolhouse. The Town of Ithaca Planning Committee meeting concluded at 4:10 pm. i 3 1296-1298 Trumansburg Road (Hayt's Chapel and Schoolhouse) Request for Limited Historic Commercial Overlay District Town of Ithaca, New York August 9, 2023 Section 270-142.3 C(1): Narrative Description and Justification for Request (a) Historical Significance: Per section 270-142.3.B(1),the two buildings situated on Tax Parcel No. 24.4-2 qualify for a LHC Overlay District by being listed in the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places. The Chapel and Schoolhouse have been deemed of cultural and architectural significance to local history and were listed in the State Register on April 25, 2005 (USNs: 10906.000292 and 10906.000293, respectively) and as a single place ("Hayt's Chapel and Schoolhouse") in the National Register on December 22, 2005 (MAID: 75315064). (b)Proposed limited commercial use and feasibility of using the buildings for this use: Proposed Use: The owner(applicant)proposes to use the buildings for year-round unhosted short-term rental use, subject to special permit review and approval, which is allowed in LHC Overlay Districts as per § 270-142.4(2). Feasibility: The buildings easily accommodate the proposed use without alteration. The Chapel and Schoolhouse buildings each consist of a single large open living area with separate kitchen, full bathroom, and laundry facilities.A portion of each of the living areas is separated by partial walls to create a sleeping area. There is space sufficient for parking 2-3 vehicles near each building. The Schoolhouse has for years been used for long-term rental and the Chapel building for short-term rental without incident. (c) Compatibility with neighboring and nearby properties and uses The proposed use blends well with the cemeteries, medical offices, and apartment buildings that surround it. The property is bordered on two sides by Frear Memorial Park Cemetery across Hayts Road to the northwest and Hayt's Cemetery (now West Hill Cemetery) immediately west and southwest. There are medical offices across NYS Route 96 (Trumansburg Road)to its northeast. 200+ feet of woods separate it from an apartment complex to its south and additional medical offices (housed in what was the Hayt family home) to its southeast. 1 (d)How the proposal will facilitate the preservation and enhancement of the property Establishment of the LHC Overlay District will allow the applicant to seek a special permit from the Town of Ithaca Planning Board for certain low-impact special uses, especially short-term rental use. The regular access between occupancies and additional income afforded by this and other enabled uses will help ensure preservation of the historic integrity of the buildings by facilitating needed restoration, repairs, and regular maintenance. It will also permit more members of the public each year to appreciate the historic structures. Past visitors have come to enjoy all that the surrounding area has to offer, or for work, or to visit their children or attend a graduation at one of the nearby colleges, or to undergo treatments or support hospitalized family members at Cayuga Medical Center just across the road. Furthermore, the historical significance of the property (collected in a folder for guests to read during their visit), especially its officially-recognized likely role in the Underground Railroad, has inspired guests to look deeper into Ithaca's rich history of supporting basic human rights, as evidenced by statements the applicants have received from past guests, such as the following: "I just read about the possibility that the church was part of the Underground Railroad. That's amazing!... It's great that it's in the hands of someone who appreciates its history." 2 Section 270-142.3 C(2): Conditions Assessment NOTE: Please see the attached assessment report performed by certified property inspector Lars Burggren of LB Spaces on June 11, 2023. The following text has been compiled by the applicants,drawing from this report("Assessment"sections) as well as information gathered from the National Register listing ("Description" sections). Chapel Building r f 3 View of original building, c.1900 I t s. View of building as of July 2023 3 Overview The original Hayt's Chapel building was constructed in 1847 as a rectangular single-story mass measuring 24 feet by 36 feet and fronting on Trumansburg Road. The front elevation is three bays wide with a center entrance flanked by windows. The side elevations have two symmetrical pairs of windows. There is a small entrance vestibule addition at the front and a shed-roofed addition at the rear of the building,both thought to have been constructed in the 1930s or 1940s when the building was converted to school use. A Town of Ithaca historical marker in front of the Chapel on Trumansburg Road calls attention to the "Abolition Church." The chapel was completely renovated with new roof and interior renovation meriting a Tompkins County Historical Renovation Award in 2006. VA HAYTS CHAPEL t BUILT• • HILL.

SLAVERY ADVOCATES • LEADERS a._ TOWN OF ITHACA 1996 f S Vt' (a) Cladding materials, including trim, architectural details, and attachments: Description: The front elevation features two projecting steeples (columns capped with pyramidal pinnacles) flanking a central entrance and wall segment which is topped with a crenellated parapet. This is consistent with the Gothic Revival style architecture that was popular in the area during the mid-19th century. A rectangular attic vent rests on a crown molding above the entrance. With the exception of the front vestibule addition, which is sheathed in clapboards, the entire exterior of the building, including the rear addition, is sheathed in random-width vertical wood planks that are laid flush with one another. Assessment:Paint is chipping, missing and/orpeeling on front vestibule siding and along the diagonal set baseboard.All siding is showing excess wear(damp and paint damage)near the base due to splash back from roof drip edge. Paint is chipping and peeling throughout. The steeples (columns and pinnacles) are chipping, missing and/or peeling paint, pest intrusion observed and seams are showing signs of separation. One of the pinnacles is crooked and/or detached. Repair to the damaged steeples is recommended. Thorough refinishing and painting is recommended.Due to the heavy wear from sun and weather, regular maintenance 4 is recommended to ensure a solid surface coating on the wood steeples. Wood fascia boards are showing signs of water damage,pest damage and peeling/chipped paint. Replacement of fascia boards is recommended by a carpenter specializing in exterior trim. Fascia boards on the rear shed roof are showing signs of water damage. It appears that there is a leak beneath the roof covering causing excessive damage to the fascia boards. Problem solving the water leak followed by repair and/or replacement of the damaged fascia boards recommended by a carpenter specializing in exterior trim. It is recommended that all worn exterior surface coverings be scraped/sanded, primed and painted within 0-3 years. .aut exterior — alp I` f <� rr -. a � .j t NaQi ta3cia 5 (b) Windows and doors, including panes and trim: Description: Windows: The front elevation has single double-hung nine-over-nine sash windows flanking the centered entrance. The side elevations have two pairs of double-hung nine-over-nine sash windows. All windows on the front and side elevations are capped by a projecting Tudor molding and have retained most of their original glass panes. There are random window openings in the rear addition. Doors: Metal screen door on front vestibule. Wood door on rear addition. Assessment: All nine-over-nine sash windows would benefit greatly through new window glazing, refinishing, and repainting wood surfaces. Wood window trim is showing signs of chipping/peeling paint,exposed bare wood, and light water damage throughout all surfaces. Scraping/sanding, priming, and painting is recommended within 0-3 years. . wtw,� /, North window ML J � (c) Roof, including gutters and chimney: Description: Roof.

There are solar panels on the southeast slope of the main structure's roof. 6 Assessment: Roof. A section of metal roof(approximate age 20+years) on the north end has become detached from possible ice damage. Repair to this area is recommended. The flashing near the steeples was installed poorly and has become detached which will cause water intrusion below the surface. Installation of new and/or repair to the existing flashing is recommended. Plumbing vent at the west shed roof was not installed properly which may be contributing to water leaks. Sealant and proper fastening is recommended. Gutters: Not present but are highly recommended to be installed. Roof drip edge runoff can cause excessive foundation settling, splash back against siding and foundation and possible water intrusion into lower home levels (basement/crawlspace). Chimney: The base of the chimney stack and flashing is deteriorating. Repair to base block chimney surface and new flashing detail is recommended by a qualified stone mason. iumns. r� F ' 1 � r y pop- (d) Decks,porches, and/or balconies: Not present (e) Grounds specific to elements that are relevant to the historic integrity: Description: A chain link fence encloses the property on three sides, likely originating when the Chapel functioned as a schoolhouse (until as late as 1964).
