quite a ways back into the lot now as opposed to the original , where we had asked to put them back
on the corners of the drive . So we elected to try to fill their requests that they be pushed back into the
lot a ways . It' s the type of this where if we fill them up with antiques or whatever has you , artwork , we
close them up at night we lock them down and then re-open them in the morning . Business right now
is scheduled like a typical business day , like a 9 to 6 type day and those are the hours of operation
that they' d be open . People inside the building would actually be watching for customers that went to
those carts . We ' re asking for a variance to allow for those carts in the area . In that area there 's been
produce stands up and down that stretch . Ithaca , as a whole , has a kind of unique thing with different
farmer' s markets that have been in the area ; both down by Aldi 's as well as out by the Dewitt , well
that's the City of Ithaca there . Ithaca as a whole has always enjoyed outdoor shopping , you might
say . I feel as though the theme of what I am doing down there is nothing different than what Ithaca
has been all about for years .
Mr. Krantz — You stated that those display carts would be set back , on this picture it looks like they
are virtually on the road .
Mr. Frost — Those pictures , Randy , were taken by my office for this meeting .
Mr. Hall — This is a very large area in here , a very large lot .
Mr. Krantz — This is the road , isn 't it?
Mr. Hall — Yes , it is . Right over here , it will show you how many feet it is from the center of the road . It
doesn 't look like a lot from that picture , but it' s really a huge lot in there
Mr. Ellsworth — 53 feet from the center of the road .
Mr. Hall — Right .
Mr . Niefer — You had this matter before the Planning Board and one of the conditions of the resolution
was that the four storage trailers and kiosks be removed on or before December 18 , 2003 . Does that
mean that on or about that date you ' ll be shut down ? Shut this operation down ?
Mr. Hall — As I recall , pertaining to what you ' re talking about was strictly for the trailers . The storage
trailers I ' m using . It was the agreement to have those storage trailers re-located , you have a date
there , December 18 , 2003 , that at the time was strictly the storage trailers , and the kiosks were
aspirate issue .
Mr. Krantz — But it states that the four storage trailers and the kiosks be removed on or before
December 18 , 2003 ,
Mr . Hall — They must have slipped that in there then , I didn 't realize they were talking about the kiosks
as well . That' s another issue I guess . I can go back to the Planning Board I guess . They hardly even
talked about the kiosks as much as they had concerns about the storage trailers .

FINDINGS :
a . The setbacks are substantially different than what is required . The distances are approximately
one- half of what is required .
b . The lots in the subdivision are already small , the additional smallness of the lot is exacerbated .
c . The noise associated with a pumping station is not consistent with the noise of the residential
neighborhood .
d . There is property nearby that may be more suitable .

The motion was declared to be carried unanimously .
APPEAL : Randy Hall , Appellant, requesting a variance from the requirements of Article VII,
Section 38 ( 8 ) and Article XIII , Section 66 of the Town of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance , to be'
permitted to maintain outside display of goods for sale with said display being located within
the open space of a required front yard setback at the Quick Cash Auction House located at
635 Elmira Road , Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No . 35 - 1 -21 , Business District C .
Randy Hall , 3 Blackberry Ln , McLean — I ' m the owner/ operator of that business . I own that property .
What we ' re looking to do down there , in that location , is we ' re opening up a thrift/antique store and
with that property we have two kiosks , they we referred to kiosks in past meetings , what we ' re looking
to do is to have those kiosks , you should have a site plan in front of you , to have those in the lot . If
you haven 't driven by there and seen them . They' re like a little house actually. They have a pitched
roof. The walls on each side of the kiosks come up and latch . It 's a total enclosed building when itls
shut down , but then when the walls come up , they latch and it's like an awning . I spent quite a bit of
money on these buildings to have a carpenter come in and put shelving in it so that it's adjustable at ja
different height , so the consumer can actually shop all the way around each kiosk . We wanted to use
those carts to display different goods out there to help generate sales to help people have awareness
that we ' re there . There were some questions before with the Planning Board about the thing as far as
looks goes , we actually recently had them painted so that they would look a little better. When we first
got them , they looked a little bit like circus carts , but anyways , I think they look fairly nice now. They
were quite a bit a question as to placement of them so that there wouldn 't be any traffic problems in
and out of the lot or out on Rte . 13 so that we 've set them back in . I don 't have my sheet with me ;f I
had to leave a meeting to get here in a hurry . But anyways , I believe it's on your site plan . They are

Mr . Niefer — Well , that's an item of my concern . Those storage trailers there . . , they' re not part of this
appeal that 's in front of us , but on the other hand , those four storage trailers are not particularly
attractive . Elmira Road is kind of the gateway to Ithaca . Unfortunately over the years , the structures
and things that have evolved there are not particularly attractive or condusive to giving a good
impression of the gateway into Ithaca .
Mr. Frost - I think the Planning Board acknowledged that , though . They gave a time period him a
time period until December of 2003 . It is my understanding from one of our recent telephone
conversations where the Town Planner had questioned why the trailers had not been relocated
already .
Mr. Hall - I don 't want to confuse the issue of why we are here today . It is strictly for the display carts .
To answer your question Andy , two of the trailers are going to be moved behind a large tree that is
there . They should very well be screened from Route 13 . Where they wanted the other two trailers
moved was in a wide-open area that I myself felt was very bad judgment at the time . Since that
Planning Board meeting , I had bulldozer work done around the perimeter of that area where those
two trailers that would stick out . . . way out in the open , can now be placed in an area that will be much
more screened . I need to go back and redo another site plan and ask the board if they would like that
better. That is what the goal was . Even though they approved me and to put and its . . . I could just say
that I will stick them out there , but the fire hall had a representative here . They were concerned about
the looks across from their place , which I understood , so I could just take the easy way out and say
okay I ' m good until 2003 . 1 think now I have an answer that I think will please everybody a lot better
by being able to screen those other two trailers in a little bit different location that has been cleared
out . I would like to do that . As far as the kiosks go , that is something I feel as though it is not an
eyesore . It is something that we want to use as part of our business . I guess I misunderstood the
Planning Board that they were looking to have them out of there in 2003 .
Mr. Frost - I can look into that . It was my thought . . . what it says is that the four storage trailers and
the kiosks . I always thought it was just the storage trailers . The Planning Board did acknowledge the
unsightliness of it. I think in some ways gracious enough to give them until December of 2003 to
maintain the trailers .
Mr . Ellsworth - This is the resolution of the Planning Board . The second part , part b is granting by the
Zoning Board of Appeals the required variances to allow outside display in the business district to
allow display carts within the setback . They are saying if you don 't get those variances by a certain
date then you have to move all of them .
Mr . Frost - I think the question is that condition b provides for him i obtaining a variance . Should he
obtain a variance , and then condition c says that you have to get it out by December 2003 . It was my
understanding that the trailers had to be out , but not the kiosks . How can he get the variance ? It
would almost require the Zoning Board of Appeals to grant a time limited variance .
Attorney Barney - In that sense , it doesn 't matter what the board does in terms of time because the
site plan modification approves it until December of 2003 . 1 think the thought there was that they
were going to take a look at it . . .
24
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS

Mr. Frost - Then maybe the question is should the board decide to grant the variance , is a variance
that's granted to expire on December 18 , 2003 ?
Attorney Barney - I think you can grant the variance to expire December 18 , 2003 or to continue so
long as the site plan modification is permitted , which would avoid the necessity of having to come
back to this board for another variance .
Mr. Frost : It doesn 't sound like they are asking for a modification . They are asking for the trailers to
be gone in December. Unless I ' m missing something , I don 't see where they have to come back to
the Planning Board .
Attorney Barney - They do . They have to be removed by December 18 , 2003 in the absence of an
extension of the time to do that .
Mr. Hall - I think that one of the things about the date that was given there was that in hopes that I !
would have enough financial capital to replace those trailers with a warehouse . I think originally they;
wanted to look at about six .months or something . I would have liked to see five years . As gracious
as they were , they gave me roughly with the time that they've been there and the time that that date'
is . . . its works about to be like a year and a half or something like that . That is the goal . At that point
in time , that is my understanding that they are to be removed . If I have the capital or the site plan in'
for the building , they said that they may grant an extension so that I could get the building up and take;
stuff that is in the storage trailers and put it in . . .
Mr. Frost - But you are understanding that the Planning Board resolution includes the removal of .
kiosks along with the trailers .
Mr. Hall - That I did not . That was unclear to me , I guess .
Mr. Frost - I think in the final analysis the board should understand that any variance you grant
basically is going to end up expiring in December.
Mr. Krantz - . . . should grant this variance contingent that the four storage trailers be satisfactorily
screened within a month and that the trailers and kiosks be removed one or before December 18;
2003 .
Mr. Hall - Mr. Barney? You had made a comment a couple of seconds ago about how I might be able
to avoid that coming back with the kiosks .
Attorney Barney - Was that a motion being made there ?
Vice Chairperson Ellsworth - I think we 've got some other parts here .
Attorney Barney - I was going to say , we ' re a little premature on that . We' ll get to that in due course
here .

Mr. Frost - What Mr . Barney was saying though , is that should the board approve your request , it be
done in such a fashion that you would not have to revisit the Zoning Board again . You would still
have to go back to the Planning Board .
Mr . Hall - Okay . I see what you ' re saying . So I would go to the Planning Board , but I wouldn 't have to
go to the . . .
Attorney Barney - We haven 't gotten there yet .
Vice Chairperson Ellsworth - Any questions from the board before I open the public hearing ? Vice
Chairperson Ellsworth opened the public hearing at 9: 17 p. m. The board received a letter from
Raymond Foote, Secretary of the Ithaca Veteran Volunteer Fireman Association stating they agree
with the original discussion of the Planning Board. With no persons present to be heard, Vice
Chairperson Ellsworth closed the public hearing at 9: 19 p . m.
Mr. Niefer - Just a comment , Harry . I think in the past we have been very particular or reasonably
particular about the display of goods outside this type of establishment . We are being asked to take a
different tact in this particular situation . That sort of troubles me . I really don 't feel that I can support
this appeal .
Vice Chairperson Ellsworth - I can recall another business up on West Hill that had some outdoor
display . . . Are there any other questions from the board ?
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT :
Vice Chairperson Ellsworth - Mike , do you have a brief summary of the short environmental
assessment?
Mr. Smith - There is not really anything to add . It doesn 't appear that these are going to be causing
any problems in terms of traffic in and out of the site or navigating through the parking area . They are
out of the way of that . Other than that , I can answer any questions .
Vice Chairperson Ellsworth - Do we have to accept this environmental assessment?
Attorney Barney - Well , it is either that or . . . First , I would suggest getting a sense of whether the
board is going to approve the variance . If you deny it , you don 't have to deal with SEQR . If the sense
is your going to move forward , then you should do it .
Mr. Dixon - I would grant it .
Mr. Krantz - I would accept it .
Vice Chairperson Ellsworth - I feel the same . So would someone make a motion on the short
environmental assessment?

2002 that the trailers be satisfactorily screened . A second contingency would be that the four storage
trailers and kiosks be removed on or before December 18 , 2003 .
Mr . Frost - I ' m not sure what we are screening . I think with the time- limited approval , any plantings
would be useless in my mind .
Mr . Krantz - We are putting two of them behind a large tree where there are very visible , but that
takes care of hopefully two of them . I think they have been there all this time . . . lets leave it up to
Randy. Obviously if he doesn 't . . . Would you like to be in charge of that?
Mr . Frost - The Planning Department had in their site plan specified these locations for him to move
these trailers to . Two of them it sounds like he can satisfy . Two more they want in the location that
Randy feels he has a better spot for, but to do that I believe he has to go back to the Planning Board
to modify that decision . While I understand your concerns . . . I think the Planning Board in their site
plan discussed that .
Attorney Barney - The problem is trying to say whether it is or is not in compliance with what this
board wants . Without specifying in some detail what it is you want . . . either drop the screening or
specify the areas you want screened . I think . the whole purpose of the time limit was to give him a
reasonable opportunity to build another building and give a reasonable opportunity for people to
observe the kiosks to see how they actually function . Then if they appear to be something desirable ,
then I think the Planning Board would not be unwilling to consider an extension . On the other hand if
they feel that they are not desirable , then they probably will make them be removed . The second
one . . . did you want to put into place a situation where if Randy for whatever reason is not able to
accomplish what he wants to accomplish in terms of construction between now a year from
December, he would come back not only to the Planning Board , but this board as well .
Mr. Krantz - Yes .
Attorney Barney - Okay .
Vice Chairperson Ellsworth - Do I have a second for the motion ?
Mr. Dixon - I ' ll second .
Vice Chairperson Ellsworth - All those in favor?
Vice Chairperson Ellsworth , Mr. Krantz , and Mr. Dixon Aye ,
Vice Chairperson Ellsworth - Opposed ?
Mr. Niefer - Opposed .
Mr. Hall - I thank all of you for your time . I appreciate it .

The Ithaca Veteran Volunteers Firemen ' s Association agrees with the original discussion of the Zoning Board
