Minutes
Board Members Present: David Squires, Chair; Chris Jung, Stuart Friedman, David Williams,
Mark Apker, and Connor Terry
Marry Moseley, Director of Codes; Paulette Rosa, Town Clerk; and Guy Krogh, Attorney for the
Town
Mr. Squires opened the meeting at 6:00 p.m. and introduced Connor Terry to the Board.
ZBAA-22-130 Appeal of David Tat-Chee & Mavis Ng, owners of 306 Birchwood Drive, TP
70.4.0-1.1.43, MDR; seeking relief from Town of Ithaca Code section 270-71 (E)(2) (Yard
regulations) to be permitted to put an approximately 10.5' x 11.5' accessory building in the front
yard, when said buildings are only permitted in the rear yard.
CIiI/ DZI/ 15►�.�/
Mr. Tat-Chee stated that during the COVED pandemic, he and his wife turned their attached
garage into a recreation/gym room and needed a place to store the snowblower and similar items
and they placed the shed in the front yard, relatively close to the house for ease of access.
Mr. Squires opened the public hearing at 6:04 p.m. There were no public comments, and the
public hearing was closed.
DISCUSSION
Mr. Krogh stated the action is a Type II and therefore SEQR is not required.
The Board asked if the concrete slab was laid with the shed and why it could not be placed in the
backyard as well as if the shed was placed at the same time as the renovation of the garage into a
gym.
Mr. Tat-Chee responded that the back yard is small and slopes as well as being wet much of the
time due to that topography. He said the concrete pad was there prior to the shed being placed
and the renovation and purchasing and placing the shed were done at the same time.
Mr. Squires stated that he felt the placement of shed didn't really change the character of the
neighborhood and that other houses on the block have similar driveway configurations making
the shed not very visible to the immediate neighbors.
Discussion followed with the Board reviewing the balancing criteria and the difficulty discerning
ZBA 2023-01-10 (Filed 1/25) Pg 1
a unique hardship in this appeal. Although they empathized with wanting the snowblower in the
front yard, there are ways to make access to a rear yard shed feasible and there was not sufficient
evidence of a unique hardship, such as actual slope percentages, details of other options explored
to stay within the Code and the reason(s) they were rejected.
Ms. Mavis Ng joined by ZOOM and seconded her husband's comments, stressing the difficulty
of the slope and access to the rear yard.
Mr. Squires explained to Mr. Tat -Ghee that he had the option to request that the appeal be tabled
to provide additional information to demonstrate the unique hardship or to move forward and the
Board would make a determination on the information provided.
Mr. Tat-Chee requested time to provide additional information.
Mr. Squires moved to table the appeal for up to 90 days to allow the applicant to amend his
appeal; seconded by Mr. Apker, unanimous.
OTHER BUSINESS
Possible change of monthly meeting day - Discussion on how many board and committee
meetings are scheduled in the first 2 weeks of the month and the possibility of moving the
meeting to the 4'h Monday or Tuesday of the month to spread out the schedule for staff.
The Board agreed and Ms. Rosa will discuss with the other Attorney for the Town regarding her
availability.
Meeting adjourned upon motion by Mr. Squires, seconded by Mr. Apker, unanimous.

We built a storage shed in the front yard right next to the driveway, where we can
store a heavy snowblower and other yard equipment. The storage shed is relatively
small in size ), is situated on top of a wooden platform, and is not fixed to the
ground. 10.5' x 11.5'
The code requires the shed to be built on the back or the side. However, the
snowblower that we use to plow the driveway is very heavy. Our backyard and our side
yard are on a hill, and there is a big step. It is extremely difficult to move the snowblower
back and forth between the driveway and the storage. So we would like to apply for a
variance to put the storage in the front yard near the driveway.

MEETING OF THE TOWN OF ITHACA
Zoning Board of Appeals
April 17, 2023
Draft Minutes
Present: Board Members David Squires, Chair; Chris Jung, Stuart Friedman, Mark Apker
Connor Terry, and Kim Ritter
Marty Moseley, Director of Codes; Paulette Rosa, Town Clerk; and Susan Brock, Attorney for
the Town
Mr. Squires opened the meeting at 6:00 p.m.
ZBAA-23-5 Appeal; Linda Ruth, owner, (David Lewis, Agent) 1057 Taughannock Blvd., TP
21.-2-14, Lakefront Residential zone seeking relief from Town of Ithaca Code section 270-46(C)
(Yard regulations) 21.-2-14 for a proposal to convert an existing garage into a single-family
dwelling/house. The garage is in the side -yard setback (facing the southern property lot line) and
the request is to maintain the existing footprint which would result in a setback of approximately
4. V feet when the garage is converted to a residence, where 20' feet is required.
The applicant was not present, and Mr. Squires opened the public hearing.
Russell Maines spoke, saying that he is an attorney retained by Ms. Barr, the neighboring
property owner at 1051 Taughannock Blvd. just this morning and asked that the appeal be
postponed allowing time to review the details, adding that the notice was received Saturday and
was very sparse in details. (Attachment 1)
David Lee spoke, saying that he is a neighbor within 500 feet and although he doesn't have an
opinion on the appeal, a setback of 4' feet is pretty minimal, and he was wondering how that
ever even happened as a setback is usually intended to be a buffer. If he were a neighbor, he
would be concerned about such a small setback if he were an immediate neighbor.
Mr. Squires closed the public hearing.
Discussion
Mr. Squires stated that the previous resolution and findings show the concerns of the neighbor,
and the variance was granted. The footprint remains the same, with changes in the layout of the
garage, but the footprint is the same as approved by this Board. He was in favor of approving
the appeal under the same Findings as in 2021, unless someone would like to adjourn until the
applicant was present and the neighbor's representative has requested time to look at the details
of the request.
Mr. Friedman asked if the neighbor notification is a legal requirement.
ZBA 2023-04-17 (Filed 4/21) Pg. 1
Mr. Moseley responded that the legal notice in the local newspaper is the legal requirement,
along with the orange posted sign on the property to alert neighbors. The neighbor notification
is a courtesy.
It was noted that the notice of public hearing and the full packet is and was available on the
Town's website.
Mr. Squires moved to adjourn the appeal until the next meeting, seconded by Ms. Jung,
unanimous.
• ZBAF-23-1 Appeal of 924 Danby Rd, LLC, Owner, (Greg Tumbarello, Agent), 924
Danby Road, MDR, TP 40.-3-8, seeking a Determination if a group of unrelated
individuals is a "family," as defined by Town of Ithaca Code section 270-5 (Definitions).
Mr. Squires noted that the property has been issued a Notice of Violation by the Code
Enforcement Department.
Mr. Tumbarello stated that that was true, but he would like to request an adjournment to the next
meeting because he hadn't had time to gather supporting documentation from the tenants due to
bereavement leave.
Mr. Squires opened the public hearing.
Mr. Kasmir spoke, saying that he and the three students in the audience live at the address and
new nothing about this issue and only found out after the Notice of Violation was put on their
door.
He said it was his understanding that Modern Living Rentals wished to classify them as a
"family" and it was his understanding that a "family" had to have two people that were related,
or all expenses are shared and activities they do are done as a "family."
Ms. Brock and Mr. Apker explained the definition of a "family" under the Town Code and went
through the determining factors for Mr. Kasmir.
There were audio issues which were being addressed, but disruptive.
Board members and Ms. Brock asked clarifying questions of Mr. Kasmir.
Mr. Kasmir stated that they were not a "family" because other than each paying rent, nothing on
that list applies to us. We buy and prepare our own food, most of the time; we are not on each
other's financial institutions and have our own banking accounts and do not share each other's
expenses in any way other than rent and utilitiies. There is one car, and it is mine, and we do not
share it. We are all students and will not live there indefinitely and will not live there or together
next year.

Mr. Tumbarello stated that the occupants had signed a group lease.
There was no one else wishing to speak and the public hearing was closed.
Ms. Brock questioned Mr. Tumbarello regarding the assertions and answers in the submitted
application, noting that many seemed to be outright false, such as the assertion that he had
spoken with the tenants.
Mr. Tumbarello stated that there are two units at this property, and he was attempting to help the
tenants be permitted to stay through their lease and he was unfamiliar with the Town Code, as
this is the only property he manages in the Town.
Ms. Brock responded that that support was done through false information, such as the answer of
"yes" regarding speaking with the tenants, which has been refuted here tonight by said tenants.
Mr. Tumbarello responded that he was not referring to the tenants of the lower -level apartment,
but the upper -level apartment, which he had spoken to.
Ms. Brock asked who his answers applied to on the application.
Mr. Tumbarello stated that he was talking about 4 people living in Unit 1 who have lived there
for many years but their circumstances have recently changed; and then there are 4 people living
in Unit 2.
Mr. Moseley explained the maximum number of people that could live in a two-family dwelling
where the primary dwelling unit has a maximum of 1 family and no more than 1 boarder, and
where the accessory unit can be no more than 1 family.
Ms. Brock went into more detail and noted that if the people as described are all un-related, the
maximum allowed would be 5 people; 3 in one unit and 2 in another.
Mr. Tumbarello responded that he had been applying for the property as a whole and conceded
that it is over capacity, and he did not realize the hearing would happen so quickly and has not
had time to speak with the tenants from Unit 1 and he felt that they live as a family.
Ms. Brock asked him if he had asked each of the criteria questions within the Code regarding this
issue, to which Mr. Tumbarello only responded yes to the question regarding eating together.
Mr. Apker asked whether he had seen driver's licenses and permanent addressed on the
application and Mr. Tumbarello responded that that was kept at the office, and he hadn't
compiled the data.
Discussion followed on whether to act on the appeal or adjourn to give more time to the
applicant to supply information to the Board regarding the criteria.
ZBA 2023-04-17 (Filed 4/21) Pg. 3
The applicant wanted more time, but the Board felt they had received enough information from
the speakers tonight and as this was a referral from the Codes Department and not from the
owner or tenants, this is a Determination by the Board and not a variance where the Applicant
has the opportunity to request an adjournment or withdrawal.
Ms. Brock noted that any enforcement of the Code by the Code Enforcement Department is
stayed until this process is completed.

Resolved that this Board makes the determination that the occupants of both Unit 1 and Unit 2 of

That the definition of a "Family" is
The group is one which in theory, size, appearance, and structure resembles a traditional
family unit:
a. For Unit 1, the applicant provided no information to support the resemblance of a
traditional family unit, and
b. For Unit 2, the occupants denied living as a traditional family unit as described, and
2. The group is one which will live and cook together as a single housekeeping unit:
a. For Unit 1, the applicant stated that one of the four occupants stated that they cooked
and ate together, and
b. For Unit 2, the occupants stated that they rarely ate together as a group, and
3. The group is of a permanent nature and is neither merely a framework for transient nor
seasonal living, (including an academic year)
a. For Unit 1, no information was provided by the occupants of Unit 1 and the occupants
of Unit 2 denied:
i. Having lived together in the past; intending to live together in the future; no joint
financial agreements, tax returns, motor vehicle registrations; no children enrolled
in local schools; no employment in the area and no other factors that would
reasonably be related to whether or not the group of persons is the functional
equivalent of a traditional family, and

Description
Brief Description of Variance Request*
The following is a request for reinstating a variance in regard to the
proposed transformation of an existing garage into a small
residence at 1057 Taughannock Blvd owned by Linda Ruth.
The Town of Ithaca approved this variance request on June 8, 2021,
as number 011-2021. This variance has now expired, and this
application is to renew this variance.
The proposed project is identical to the one submitted in April 2021,
occupying the same footprint and location, with one change. That
change rotates the roof 90-degrees, simplifying the roofline, and
redirecting windows to not overlook the neighboring property, while
maintaining the same proposed roof height of 21 feet.
Description of the Project (from 5/2021)-
The existing garage with concrete foundation sits close to the
property line (4'-l" — see survey by TG Miller from 5/15/2018). The
owner seeks to convert this garage on the existing foundation into a
dwelling and add a deck to the east.
This existing footprint does not meet the required side -yard set
backs of 20'-0" as required by the Town of Ithaca Zoning
regulations for Lakefront Residential Zone. (270-46).

3/21/23, 9:19AM
ZBAA-23-5
The variance request is to allow for the use of this foundation and
footprint for the conversion of this garage into a residence, thus
using the existing concrete foundation in its current state.
The property had a primary residence which was taken down in
2019. As such, this conversion of the garage means that the guest
house will be the primary residence. It is under 800 sq. ft. but
above 300sq ft. The owner seeks Special Approval for Area
Variance.
Area Variance Criteria Form
A. Will an undesirable change be produced in the character of the neighborhood or be a
detriment to nearby properties?
A. Will an undesirable change be produced in the character of the
neighborhood or be a detriment to nearby properties?
1. Will an undesirable change be produced
in the character of the neighborhood or
be a detriment to nearby properties?*
we
Reasons:
This is a conversion of an existing garage, one of two on the
property, and thus a redundant garage. The proposed improvement
enhances the character of the neighborhood by improving the
garage. No expansion to the existing conditioned building footprint
is anticipated.

3/21/23, 9:19 AM ZBAA-23-5
2. Can the benefit sought by the applicant
be achieved by a feasible alternative to
the variance?*
No
Reasons:
The goal is to reuse the foundation and framing material and
investment in the existing garage structure in converting this
existing structure to a new use. Moving this garage is not feasible
to meet the setback.
3. Is the requested variance substantial?*
Reasons:
The request does not change or expand the footprint of the existing
structure. The requested variance is to allow for the conversion of a
garage into a small guest dwelling, reusing the resources already
invested in a redundant garage to serve as the basis of an
inhabitable structure.
4. Would the variance have an adverse
impact on the physical or environmental
conditions in the neighborhood?*
No
As a conversion of an existing structure, the project does not have
an adverse impact on the neighborhood. It is an improvement of a
garage structure and an enhancement of the property.
5. Is the alleged difficulty self-created?*
No
https:llithacany.viewpointcloud.iol#lexplorelrecordsl281361react-form-detailsl28136 6/12
3/21/23, 9:19 AM
Reasons:
ZBAA-23-5
The request pertains to an existing structure. Other than the self-
created condition of the owner seeking to change its use, the
difficulty of proximity to the property boundary is not self-created,
as it is a historical condition of the location of the garage close to
the side yard property boundary.
The UNDERSIGNED respectfully submit this application requesting
an appearance before the Zoning Board of Appeals. By filing this
application, I grant permission for members of The Town of Ithaca
Zoning Board of Appeals or Town staff to enter my property for any
inspection(s) necessary that are in connection with my application.
I acknowledge, that completed applications are scheduled on a
first -come first -serve basis and that all documents ideally be
submitted forty-five (45) days advance of the proposed meeting
date, together with the required application fee. Failure to do so
may result in a delay in my hearing.

011-2021 Appeal of Linda Ruth, owner of 1057 Taughannock Blvd., TP 21.-2-14, LF, seeking
relief from Town of Ithaca Code section 270-46 (C) (Yard regulations) for a proposal to convert
an existing garage into a single-family dwelling/house. The applicant is proposing to retain the
existing 4.1' foot side yard setback after converting the garage to a house.
David Lewis, Architect, gave an overviewing, saying that it would be the only structure on the
property as the former house was demolished. The existing garage has a concrete basement and
it will be a small guest house.
The intent is to not disturb any existing landscaping or the existing viewshed. He added that
Indian Creek gorge is about 150' feet away from the proposed converted structure.
Mr. Squires asked if this was the garage that is right on the road and Mr. Lewis responded that it
was not, it was further down the lot. There are two garages on the property.
Mr. Squires asked if the proposed garage is the same style as the one near the road and Mr.
Lewis shared his screen to show the picture of the garage in question.
Mr. Rosen asked about the house that was demolished, and how that avoided a primary structure
on the lot.
Mr. Moseley responded that he did not know the history but would look at that.
Mr. Rosen said then it would not be an accessory dwelling unit and the applicants responded that
was correct.
Mr. Rosen said he doesn't see what is being saved here when only the foundation is going to
remain and all the utilities and such will cause disturbance.
Mr. Lewis responded that they are going to try and preserve the studs and foundation and
anything else that can be salvaged and not impact the surrounding landscaping.
ZBA 2021-06-08 (Filed 7/23) Pg. 3
Mr. King stated that he did a site visit, and he thinks this idea will be a lot less impactful than
trying to build new. The foundation and asphalt is in good shape and there is quite a bit of work
that has already been done to establish a flat area and trying to place something new would be a
much greater impact.
Ms. Brock asked if the height of the new building would be taller, and Mr. Lewis responded that
the height would increase from about 1.6' ft to 20' or 2 1 ' ft and the roof line will change because
the existing isn't attractive but that is open to discussion.
Mr. Rosen opened the public hearing at 6:34 p.m. There was no one present, and Mr. Rosen
discussed the two emails received. The State Parks had no concerns, and the neighbors did have
concerns.
Ms. Brock noted that no SEQR is required for the reasons stated in Mr. Moseley's memo.
Discussion
Mr. Vignaux stated that he did a site visit today and he doesn't see how it will impact Ms. Barr
as this house is going to be located under a swale and is well on the other side of the gorge, 150'
ft as stated by the owner, and her lot is huge.
Mr. King stated that he didn't think Ms. Barr could see this house.
Mr. Vignaux agreed, saying she would have to walk quite a way to get a glimpse, her lot is over
6 acres.
Mr. Moseley shared the County GIS overview of the lots with the stream depicted.
The image showed the previous, very large house that has been demolished.
Mr. Squires said he was very supportive as they are repurposing a current structure and it will be
the only home on the site.
Ms. Jung agreed, saying she was very happy they were reducing the size of what had been there
by removing and not rebuilding the large home.
Mr. Williams and Mr. Filiberto agreed with the rest of the Board and did not understand the
comments against the project as this will not crowd the neighbor or the neighborhood.

Tuesday, June 08, 2021 @ 6:00 p.m.
215 N. Tioga St.
0011-2021 Appeal of Linda Ruth, owner of 1057 Taughannock Blvd., Tax Parcel No. 21.-2-14, is
seeking relief from Town of Ithaca Code section 270-46 (C) (Yard regulations) for a proposal to convert
an existing garage into a single-family dwelling/house.
Town of Ithaca Code section 270-46 (C) requires a side yard setback (measured from a side yard property
lot line) of 20 feet, where the applicant is proposing to convert an existing garage into a single-family
dwelling/house which would be located within the side yard setback (facing the southern property lot
line). The applicant proposes to maintain the existing southern property side yard setback, measured from
the southern property lot line, to the existing garage that is proposed to be converted into a single family
dwelling/house of approximately 4.1 feet.
The current property is located in the Lakefront Residential District.

MINUTES
Due to public health and safety concerns relating to COVID-19, and in accordance with the Governor's Executive
Order 202.1, this meeting was held by video conferencing through the Zoom app.
Present: Rob Rose, Chair; Members Chris Jung, Bill King, George Vignaux, and David Squires
Alternates David Filiberto and David Williams
Marry Moseley, Director of Codes; Becky Jordan, Deputy Town Clerk and Susan Brock,
Attorney for the Town
Mr. Rosen opened the meeting at 6p.m.
0010-2021 Appeal of Edward Mabaya and Krisztina Tihanyi, owners, 208 Eldridge Cir, TP
46.-1-15.47, LDR, seeking relief from Town of Ithaca Code section 270-60 (C) (Yard
regulations) to construct a new single-family dwelling with an approximately 35' ft side yard
setback on both sides where 40' ft is required.
Ms. Tihanyi gave an overview, noting that her architect, Ms. Bartholomew was also present for
any questions. She said the slope was the determining factor and the proposal is a single story
with walkout basement and placed to allow for the garage and house to work within the slope.
Ms. Bartholomew added that they are trying to avoid a wet spot and it will not be the entire
house encroaching into the setbacks, but just a corner on each side.
Mr. Rosen asked if the house is tilted so the walkout basement is at the bottom of the slope and
that is the placement reason?
Ms. Bartholomew responded that is correct, and the wet spot and fitting the access to the garage.
She added that it is really hard to measure on that slope so the 5' foot request is really for a
buffer and might be slightly less.
Mr. Squires stated that he drove by and the neighboring house is far away and this request
shouldn't impact anyone and is minor.
Mr. Vignaux agreed, saying the encroachment is negligible and the whole body of the house isn't
over the line which further mitigates the request.
Mr. King wanted to know where the "wet spot" is.
Ms. Tihanyi and Ms. Bartholomew responded that when they built the road, they pushed dirt
onto the lot and changes the drainage and it may be worked out after we build, but there is no
guarantee. It is over near the garage.
ZBA 2021-06-08 (Filed 7/23) Pg. 1
Ms. Tihanyi added that the neighbor the right, there garage is almost on the property line.
The Board looked at the survey map to determine where the wet spot was and the neighbors
garage, and Mr. Moseley shared his screen to show the drawing. The Board was satisfied with
depiction and description.
Mr. Rosen opened the public hearing at 6:15 p.m. There was no one wishing to speak and the
hearing was closed.
Mr. Rosen noted that SEQR is not required as a Type 2, single family house.
Mr. Rosen noted for the record that Taitem. Engineering is the stamp on the survey, but he was
not involved or aware of this project. Mr. King stated the same. Both stated that their would be
no impact on them or their jobs if they were to vote against this project with the Taitem
Engineering involvement.
Ms. Jung and Mr. Filiberto felt the request was minor and fits the neighborhood and the unique
circumstances described by the owner and architect make sense.

(C) (Yard regulations) to construct a new single-family dwelling with an approximately 35' ft

2. That the side setbacks be no less than 34.5' feet on either side, and

Owner/Appellant/Agent Name:
Linda Ruth / Jonsara Ruth
Address of Property Requiring Variance: 1057 Taughannock Blvd
Tax Parcel No.: 503089 - 21-2-14
TEST: No area variance will be granted without consideration by the Board of the following factors:
A. Will an undesirable change be produced in the character of the neighborhood or be a detriment to
nearby properties?
Yes_ No=
Reasons:
This is a conversion of an existing garage, one of two on the property and
thus a redundant garage. The proposed improvement enhances the
character of the neighborhood by improving the garage. No expansion to
the existing conditioned building footprint is anticipated.
B. Can the benefit sought by the applicant be achieved by a feasible alternative
to the variance?
Yes_ No El
Reasons: The goal is to reuse the existing framing, foundation and investment in the
existing garage structure in converting this existing structure to a new
use. Moving this garage is not feasible to meet the setback.
C. Is the requested variance substantial?
Yes_ No
Reasons: The request does riot change or expand the footprint of the existing
structure. The requested variance is to allow for the conversion of a
garage into a small guest dwelling, reusing the resources already
invested in a redundant garage to serve as the basis of an inhabitable
structure.
D. Would the variance have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the
neighborhood? L
Yes_ No©
Reasons: As a conversion of an existing structure, the project does riot have an
adverse impact on the neighborhood. It is an improvement of an garage
structure and an enhancement of the property.
E. Is the alleged ulty self-created?
Yes_ Noe
Reasons:
The request pertains to an existing structure. Other than the self-created
condition of the owner seeking to change its use, the difficulty of proximity
to property boundary is not self-created, as it is a historical condition of
the location of the garage close to the side yard property boundary.

Re: 1057 Taughannock Zoning Variance Request Narrative
Date: May 5, 2021
Dear Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals,
The following is a request for an area variance in regards to the proposed conversion of an existing garage
into a small residence at 1057 Taughannock Blvd owned by Linda Ruth.
The existing garage with concrete foundation sits close to the property line W-1" — see survey by TG Miller
from 5/15/2018). The owner seeks to convert this garage on the existing foundation into a dwelling and
add a deck to the east.
This existing footprint does not meet the required side -yard set backs of 20'-0" as required by the Town of
Ithaca Zoning regulations for Lakefront Residential Zone. (270-46).
The variance request is to allow for the use of this foundation and footprint for the conversion of this
garage into a residence, thus using the existing concrete foundation in its current state.
LTL Architects PLLC 11 Broadway, Suite 1500 New York, NY 10004 t.212,505,5955
Please use this as the denial letter for owner Linda Ruth's daughter Jonsara Ruth's application

Dear ZBA members:
Please be advised that I represent Joy Barr, individually and with regard to the Joy L. Barr Revocable Trust. On behalf of
my client, I write to express my client's objection to the referenced appeal.
My client is opposed to the appeal of Linda Ruth for a variance from the Town of Ithaca Code section 270-46 (C). My
client can't support crowding a house on a narrow, steep parcel of land located on lake front property. A plan clearly
contrary to the purpose and benefit of the Code. Not only are the current compliance concerns but the premises are
subject to numerous encumbrances. Further, construction on that location poses many environmental issues, including,
but not limited to, - the premises. The streams on and abutting the premise drain, only a short distance, into Cayuga
Lake which drainage has the potential to be disrupted in a negative and on a long term basis; the burden on the
premises from occupation of additional housing will be increased; impact on vegetation is likely and its restoration open
to question; and rare and beneficial water and viewsheds jeopardized.
Thank you for your efforts and consideration in this matter.
Respectively Submitted,
Joseph W. Allen

RE: ORDER TO REMEDY
924 Danby Road
Ithaca, NY 14850
Dear Sir or Madame,
We are in receipt of the "Order to Remedy" issued by your office on January 3, 2023 in relation
to the above property and have completed most of the items listed in the order to remedy. With regard
to the alleged violations of Town of Ithaca Code sections "207-5" and 270-7713, we must respectively
disagree with the determination that the total amount of tenants occupying a single unit exceeds that
allowable by the above referenced code sections.
Our office is under the impression that the tenants in the unit in question live and function as a
"FAMILY", as that term is defined in Ithaca Town Law section 270-5. We therefore ask that the alleged
violations under sections 270-5 and 270-77B be removed from the "Order to Remedy" and that an
appropriate order be reissued.
In the alternative, if there is an additional process to challenge these alleged violations, please
advise the undersigned of that process at your earliest convenience.

1. Can the applicant realize a reasonable
return, as shown by competent financial
evidence? (The lack of return must be
substantial).*
m
Proof:
The 3-acre property has frontage along Elmira Road and Five Mile
Drive but has significant grade change from Five Mile Drive so the
only feasible access is from the Southwest corner of Elmira Road.
This property has been vacant due to the many site restrictions of
steep slope areas, un-uniform shape and overall poor access. To
obtain an overall rate of return on the property it needs to be
utilized to its full potential which can be completed with storage
buildings in different shapes and configurations to fit the site.
In summary the large expense required for development of this site
could not be supported by uses suggestion in the overlay district
such as a restaurant or smaller commercial buildings that are retail
oriented.

Proof:
ZBAU-23-2
The subject property has many development challenges in which a
self -storage facility can overcome due to the nature of the business.
Items bulleted below outline some significant site challenges and
how self -storage can overcome them while other allowed uses in
the Overlay district could not:
1. Access is limited on Elmira Road to the Southwest close to
Brewery Lane. This access location is not suitable for a
commercial type of use such as a retail or service facilities
outlined in the Overaly District allowed uses. Retail/service
type use would have traffic align with peak hours to further be
negative on the entrance and accessing Elmira Road. Self -
storage is not a traffic generator in the size proposed. Traffic is
typically off-peak and very limited for the units shown.
1. The shape of the property and slope of the site is very unique
with large elevation changes in the rear. The site drops over 12-
feet from the entrance in the buildable area. This creates a
high cost of site development to provide sufficient parking and
to create a building pad area. The self -storage facility is very
flexible in that the buildings can be fitted and rotated to utilize
the property to the maximum potential. The separated
buildings also can be placed at different elevations to fit the
site topography.
1. The property is zoned as Light Industrial, which was purchased
with intention of self -storage, an allowed use. Since the plan
package was submitted the Inlet Valley Center Overlay district
has been adopted which is a unique situation for the property.
1. The property does not have sewer readily available at the
frontages. The self -storage facility requires very little sewer
demand, and it is intended to have a small onsite wastewater
disposal system onsite.

- Board members' observations of neighborhood.
- Expected effect of proposal on neighborhood, for example, change
in parking patterns, noise levels, lighting, traffic.
3. Will the requested use variance, if
granted, alter the essential character of
the neighborhood?*
m
Proof:
The proposed project includes self -storage which hides the typical
mini -storage buildings in the rear with more commercial style
buildings along the frontage. The proposed buildings will have
architectural features unlike typical storage facilities and fit the
area. The current area has commercial style structures on the side
and rear of the property. The rear of the property is designed as a
small industrial/commercial area.
SELF-CREATED FACTORS:
- What were the permitted uses at the time the property was
purchased by the applicant?
- Were substantial sums spent on remodeling for a use not
permitted by zoning?
- Was the property received through inheritance, court order,
divorce?
4. Has the alleged difficulty been self-
created?*

RE: Letter of Denial — DEV-23-6
602 Elmira Rd.
Ithaca NY, 14850
Tay Parcel Number: 31.-3-4
Dear Mr. Lasell,
On January 23, 2023, you submitted a partial site plan application (DEV-23-6) for a self -storage facility
located at 602 Elmira Rd., Ithaca NY, 14850. When you submitted this application, the zoning for 602 Elmira Road
was identified as the Light Industrial "Lone, which allowed a self -storage facility as a permitted use in the zone.
On February 13, 2023, the Town of Ithaca Town Board approved the Inlet Valley Overlay District, which
encompasses the address identified above. This alters the zoning from the Light Industrial zone to the Inlet Valley
Overlay District, which does not permit a self -storage facility as an allowable use.
The specific zoning that is now identified for this parcel of land is the "Inlet Valley Center Overlay Zone".
Since a use group allowing for a self -storage facility use is no longer available at this property, your application
(DEV-23-6) has been denied.
If you wish to pursue the self -storage facility project at 602 Elmira Road, then you will need to seek and
obtain a use variance from the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). This letter can be used as a denial
to request an appearance before the ZBA. If you have any questions related to the above related items, please feel
free to contact us by phone at 607-273-1783 or by email at codes town.ithaca.nv.us.

Re: Project Narrative - Proposed Storage Facility
The purpose of this letter is to express Rudra Management's interest in constructing a self -storage
facility on their vacant land, located at 602 Elmira Road, Ithaca, NY (the "Property").
Project:
Rudra Management proposes the construction of approximately 30,000 square feet of self -storage
space, which will be comprised of both traditional drive -up storage units, as well as indoor climate -
controlled storage units. The project will be split into two phases. Phase One will entail the construction
of the traditional drive -up storage units, and Phase Two will entail the construction of the indoor
climate -controlled building. Unit sizes will vary to meet the Community's needs. The project will utilize
the public water system for its fire suppression and bathroom, but will install on site septic for its single
use toilet. We anticipate construction to last 6 to 8 months.
About Rudra Management:
Rudra Management is a real estate development company that builds, owns and operates 25+ hotels in
the Western New York area. At the helm, Jay Patel has extensive experience in development and
construction. Once example of their work is The Holiday Inn Express & Suites, 371 Elmira Road, which is
located down the road from the Property. The hotel project was considered a "ground -up" construction
project that transformed a neglected site into a thriving local business. Rudra Management hopes to
continue their successful track record by diversifying their portfolio with a self -storage facility, as their
market research has determined a demand in the Ithaca area. Rudra Management has hired Line 42
Architecture to consult and assist with the development process. Having worked together on other
successful projects in the past, Rudra Management and Line 42 Architecture bring a collective
experience that will ensure this project comes to fruition in a reasonable amount of time.
About Line 42 Architecture:
Line 42 Architecture, PLLC is a design firm specializing in self -storage and multifamily housing. Joshua
Best, AIA, Founding Principal has developed, designed, constructed and operated four other self -storage
facilities in the Buffalo, NY area with his company Best Brothers Development, LLC. His most recent
ground -up construction was a facility located in Orchard Park, NY, which is similar to Rudra
Management's proposed facility for Ithaca, NY.
Best Brothers Development, LLC is a homegrown company that specializes in operating and assisting in
commercial real estate development ventures. Their services include site acquisition, architectural
design, construction management, technical and operational assistance. Their focus is on multi -family
housing, self -storage and hotel development.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Runda Management plans to construct a self -storage facility at 602 Elmira Road in the Town of Ithaca. The
previous zoning was Light Industrial but as of February 13, 2023 the area has become within the Inlet Valley
Center Overlay District which has a restriction on self -storage.
Per the guidelines of NYS for applications to the Zoning Board of Appeals, the following breaks down each
request.
USE VARIANCE WOR A"NO
A. The no envy is incapable of e rning a reason able return on initial investment il'use for allowed
district uses.
The 3-acre property has frontage along Elmira Road and Five Mile Drive but has significant grade change
from Five Mile Drive so the only feasible access is from the Southwest corner of Elmira Road. This
property has been vacant due to the many site restrictions of steep slope areas, un-uniform shape and
overall poor access. To obtain an overall rate of return on the property it needs to be utilized to its full
potential which can be completed with storage buildings in different shapes and configurations to fit the
site.
In summary the large expense required for development of this site could not be supported by uses
suggestion in the overlay district such as a restaurant or smaller commercial buildings that are retail
oriented.
B. The no envy is being affected by a unique on uncommon circumstance
The subject property has many development challenges in which a self -storage facility can overcome
due to the nature of the business. Items bulleted below outline some significant site challenges and how
self -storage can overcome them while other allowed uses in the Overlay district could not:
1. Access is limited on Elmira Road to the Southwest close to Brewery Lane. This access location is
not suitable for a commercial type of use such as a retail or service facilities outlined in the
Overaly District allowed uses. Retail/service type use would have traffic align with peak hours
to further be negative on the entrance and accessing Elmira Road. Self -storage is not a traffic
generator in the size proposed. Traffic is typically off-peak and very limited for the units shown.
The shape of the property and slope of the site is very unique with large elevation changes in the
rear. The site drops over 12-feet from the entrance in the buildable area. This creates a high
cost of site development to provide sufficient parking and to create a building pad area. The
self -storage facility is very flexible in that the buildings can be fitted and rotated to utilize the
property to the maximum potential. The separated buildings also can be placed at different
elevations to fit the site topography.
The property is zoned as Light Industrial, which was purchased with intention of self -storage, an
allowed use. Since the plan package was submitted the Inlet Valley Center Overlay district has
been adopted which is a unique situation for the property.
4. The property does not have sewer readily available at the frontages. The self -storage facility
requires very little sewer demand, and it is intended to have a small onsite wastewater disposal
system onsite.

C The Variance will not alter the essential character of"the neighborhood
The proposed project includes self -storage which hides the typical mini -storage buildings in the rear
with more commercial style buildings along the frontage. The proposed buildings will have
architectural features unlike typical storage facilities and fit the area. The current area has commercial
style structures on the side and rear of the property. The rear of the property is designed as a small
industrial/commercial area.
D. The hardship is not self-created.
The property was purchased with intent to develop self -storage because of the un-uniform shape and
topographical changes. When the property was purchased self -storage was allowed in the LI district
and a Planning Board submission was made. Now the Overlay district has been adopted by the Town for
this property which was not a self-created hardship.

Project: Ithaca Self Storage, 602 Elmira Road
Actions: Use Variance, Zoning Board of Appeals
Site Plan Approval, Planning Board
Date: April 17, 2023 (Zoning Board of Appeals)
Physical characteristics of the property: The proposed self -storage facility will be located on vacant
property that was utilized as a fill -site for the storage of fill and construction materials during the NYS
Department of Transportation's (DOT) Route 13/Route 13A intersection and Cayuga Inlet bridge
reconstruction projects in the mid-1990's. Approximately 80% of the property is relatively flat and
clear of vegetation. However, the remainder of the site, particularly the north and west edges and
along the NYSDOT right-of-way to the east, contains steep slopes and manmade fill mounds in various
stages of natural re -vegetation. Those areas of the property also contain first succession vegetation
(mostly young birch, locust, and sycamore trees) along with some larger deciduous and evergreen
trees, overgrown shrubs, and tall grasses.
This property used to contain a stream that is a tributary to the Cayuga Inlet. During the
reconstruction projects, the stream was piped underneath and across the property to outlet culverts
on the northeast and west sides of the property, where it currently flows exposed off the property
and onto adjacent properties. The stream eventually filters into a NYS DEC regulated wetland and
Unique Natural Area located on the east side of NYS Route 13A. Some of the most significant slopes
found on the property are located along the stream bank in the north and west areas.
1. Will the proposed action create a material conflict with an adopted land use plan or zoning
regulations? Small impact may occur. The 2014 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map has
characterized this property as "Natural/Open" and "Inlet Valley Gateway." According to the
Comprehensive Plan, this portion of Elmira Road is intended "to be a setting for a mix of office, small-
scale retail, hospitality, tourism, and agritourism uses, with low impact light industrial, artisanal
industrial, and skilled trade uses."
The Town Board adopted the Inlet Valley Overlay District (IVOD) zoning on February 13, 2023, to meet
the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. However, the IVOD prohibits self -storage facilities. Until two
months ago, the property containing the proposed Ithaca Self -Storage project was zoned Light
Industrial, which permitted self -storage facilities with site plan approval by the Planning Board. Now
that the zoning has changed, the project requires a use variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals
along with site plan approval from the Planning Board.
Although self -storage facilities are currently prohibited in the IVOD, they do not necessarily create a
material conflict with the IVOD provisions. Part of the goal of the IVOD is to enhance the Elmira Road
corridor's distinctive characteristics by fostering and building on the semi -rural assets that currently
exist. Self -storage facilities are typical uses found in semi -rural landscapes, although they are
generally unattractive and detract from the aesthetic of an area. The IVOD's architectural design
standards and requirements would provide an opportunity for the proposed Ithaca Self -Storage
project to show sensitivity to the surrounding natural area, with elements that would be in context
with the semi -rural character of Elmira Road. To that end, the self -storage structures in the IVOD may
be more attractive than typical self -storage buildings.
2. Will the proposed action result in a change in the use or the intensity of the use of land?
Small impact may occur. This property has been vacant for many decades. Developing the property at
all will change the use and the intensity of the use of land. It is a highly disturbed site, due to the NYS
DOT projects mentioned above. Additionally, the property contains a NYS DOT right-of-way with steep
slopes that would create a challenge for most types of development. There was a proposal for a self -
storage facility on the property in 2010, but the applicant only appeared before the Planning Board
for a sketch plan review and never returned for approval.
The NOD provisions allow many types of uses for this property that would change the use and
intensity of the use of the land, e.g., bed and breakfasts, hotels, veterinary clinics, day care centers,
health/fitness uses, restaurants, professional offices, retail and commercial uses, small light industrial
uses, cultural facilities, etc. The proposed Ithaca Self -Storage project is a less intense use of land than
other permitted uses.
3. Will the proposed action impair the character or quality of the existing community? Small
impact may occur. The Elmira Road corridor has a very diverse community character. The NOD
provisions are specifically designed to create an attractive and appealing character for the corridor
that is safe and inviting to residents and visitors. Some portions of the NOD design standards are
required and some are strongly encouraged ("must" versus "should"). If the Zoning Board grants the
use variance, the board may condition the approval on requiring the project to comply with all IVOD's
Design Standards and Guidelines (§270-171.6), regardless of whether they are required or
encouraged. This would ensure that the Ithaca Self -Storage facility will enhance the character of the
community and comply with the design aesthetic intended for the Inlet Valley Corridor.
S. Will the proposed action result in an adverse change in the existing level of traffic or affect
existing infrastructure for mass transit, biking, or walkway? Small impact may occur. Self -storage
facilities typically have much lower traffic impacts than other commercial and retail uses. This is
primarily because self -storage facilities do not attract existing traffic (e.g., like a fast-food restaurant
would) nor are they destinations for most people (e.g., state park, recreational facility). There is no
expected change to the existing level of traffic, and the project will not affect existing infrastructure
for mass transit, biking, or walkways.
The proposed use will require another highway curb cut off NYS Route 13/Elmira Road. The applicant
has located the new access as far from the intersection of NYS Route 13 and NYS Route 13A as safely
possible, given the property's slopes and sight lines from the intersection. The NYS DOT will need to
approve this access location, and the Zoning Board and Planning Boards may condition their approvals
on the NYS DOT approval.
10. Will the proposed action result in an increase in the potential for erosion, flooding, or drainage
problems? The drawings submitted by the applicant for the Zoning Board use variance show a
significant increase in impervious surfaces associated with the development. Preserving existing
vegetation where it is more established, especially along the stream bank and slopes, and providing a
landscaping plan that contains native, non-invasive tree and plant species, will reduce the overall
impacts of the development. The applicant will be required to comply with all applicable Town and/or
NYS DEC Stormwater Management Regulations to address water quality and water quantity issues.
Regarding Part 1, question 12b: According to the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic
Preservation Cultural Resources Information System program, the property is in an area that could be
archaeologically sensitive. However, this is a highly disturbed site, due to a 1990's NYS DOT
reconstruction project. Therefore, any archaeological resources would have been discovered with
prior disturbances.
Regarding Part 1, question 13a: As mentioned above, there is a stream located adjacent to the
property on the north and west sides. Although the stream is piped and culverted on the property,
the applicant will be required to comply with the Town of Ithaca Stormwater Management Law and
NYS DEC stormwater regulations to ensure protection of the stream during and post construction.
There is also a NYS DEC regulated wetland and a Tompkins County Unique Natural Area located across
NYS Route 13A, approximately 460+/- feet northeast of the property. The wetland and the UNA will
be unaffected by the proposed use.

Robb,
You are correct. An area variance would be required for the height of the lights as 270-70 of the Medium Density
Residential Zone district regulations limit structures, other than buildings to be a maximum height of 30 feet.
In Medium Density Residential Zones, no building shall be erected, altered, or extended to exceed 38 feet in height from
the lowest interior grade or 36 feet in height from the lowest exterior grade, whichever is lower. No structure other than
a building shall be erected, altered, or extended to exceed 30 feet in height. A building occupied by a detached accessory
dwelling unit shall not exceed one story and 20 feet in height, except buildings constructed prior to the effective date of
Local Law No. 20 of the Year 2017 may exceed these two parameters as long as the building height is not subsequently
increased beyond that existing on the effective date of said local law. Other accessory buildings shall not exceed 15 feet
in height.
Please feel free to use this email as a denial letter to apply for an area variance.
Thank you,

Part 3 Determination of Significance
For every question in Part 2 that was answered "moderate to large impact may occur", or if there is a need 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 considering its setting,
probability of occurring, duration, irreversibility, geographic scope and magnitude. Also consider the potential for short-
term_ long-term and cumulative impacts.
This project involves removing a running track, replacing a natural grass athletic field with synthetic turf, and installing
four (4) stadium light poles. The project is located within and immediately around the existing Butterfield Stadium and is
not located within any Unique Natural Areas. There is no vegetation removal associated with the project. The project
includes a stormwater management plan (SWPPP) that will mitigate any potential erosion, sedimentation, drainage, and
flooding impacts.
The proposed light poles have been designed to illuminate only the athletic field. They need to be tall enough to achieve
the most efficient result and are similar heights as poles on other athletic fields on the Ithaca College campus. The poles
require height variances because they are taller than the 30-foot maximum height for structures other than buildings (80',
100', 120' tall). The LED color temperature is typical of a stadium or retail commercial center (5700K) and is necessary to
achieve the illumination required for athletic events. The lights comply with the Outdoor Lighting Law, are shielded, with
low -glare optics, and angled away from any nearby residences, which will mitigate any potential adverse visual impacts.
Regarding Part 1, question 12b: The NYSDEC EAF Mapper Program indicates that the proposal is located in an
archeologically sensitive area. This area has been previously disturbed with the construction of the existing stadium and a
retaining wall, so it is presumed that any archeological resources would have been discovered with prior disturbances.
Regarding Part 1, question 13a: While there are several ponds, wetlands, and streams on the 757+/- acre Ithaca College
property, none are located within or adjacent to the boundaries of this project.
Regarding Part 1, question 15: While there is the potential that plant or animal species that are listed as threatened or
endangered could exist on portions of the 757+/- acre Ithaca College property, Butterfield Stadium has been in place for
many years and is located in the developed portion of the campus. It is unlikely that the project will negatively impact any
threatened or endangered species.
Regarding Part 1, question 20: According to the NYSDEC Environmental Site Remediation Database, there are no
hazardous waste remediation sites on the Ithaca College property. The Database does show that remediation sites are
located at the adjacent Former Axiohm Facility (South Hill Business Campus, Site Codes C755012A and C755012) and the
adjacent Morse Industrial Corporation (Emerson/Chainworks, Site Code 755010). Both of these facilities are located on the
opposite (west) side of Danby Road/NYS Route 96B and downhill of the proposed project.
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

Site Environmental Assessment
The primary contaminants of concern at the site include trichloroethene (TCE) and its associated
breakdown products. Remedial investigation (RI) data indicate a plume of groundwater and soil vapor
contamination extending onsite approximately 400 feet west of the former plating and underground
storage tank (UST)areas on the western side of the manufacturing building. Areas of subsurface
trichloroethene (TCE) soil contamination in the low pprn range were detected on the western side of
the manufacturing facility in the former UST areas. TCE was detected in soil vapor up to 5300 ug/m3
and 270 ug/m3 in samples collected below the parking lot and under the building slab, respectively. A
low level of TCE (8.7 ug/m3) was detected in one offsite soil vapor sample. With the exception of one
SVOC in one soil sample, commercial SCOs for soil are not exceeded. Exceedances of groundwater
standards include TCE and its associated breakdown products. TCE was detected at a maximum
concentration of 2200 ppb in shallow bedrock groundwater. The RI Report and the Remedial Work
Plan have been approved. It has been determined that the site presents a significant environmental
and health threat. Remedial action has been completed at the South Hill Business Campus BCP site,
in accordance with the approved Remedial Work Plan and subsequent Remedial Design. Potential on -
site contamination, associated with former USTs, soil, and groundwater, have been removed and/or
treated to achieve a Track 4 cleanup level under the NYS Brownfiled Cleanup Program (BCP which
relies on institutional and engineering controls consistent with the proposed commercial end use.
Potential exposure to on -site contamination associated with soil, groundwater, and soil vapor, has
been eliminated, to the extent practicable. Specific actions taken include: * Excavation and removal of
soil adjacent to two former 9,000 gallon underground dilution thanks, and backfilling with clean soil.
Excavation of approximately 200 tons of soil in the area west of the southern portion of the site
building, as in -situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) trenches were dug, and show not contamination.
*Injection of approximately 4,958 pounds of potassium permanganate, as 13,600 gallons of potassium
permanganate solution, into ten (10) injection trenches in the target zone of groundwater
contamination. * Installation of a sub -slab vapor mitigation system (SSDS) and positive pressure air
exchange system in the site building as an Interim Remedial Measure (IRM) to mitigate potential soil
vapor intrusion. * Development of a Site Management Plan (SMP). The remedy has been
implemented, and Site Management has begun. The Department does not foresee any unacceptable
impacts to the environment from the site provided the SMP continues to be implemented. Based on
the remedial action, the site no longer poses a significant environmental threat. The air exchange
system was shut down in June 2013 subsequent to modifications to the SSDS and indoor air testing
which determined that continued mitigation in the northern portion of the building was no longer
necessary. Groundwater data analysis through December 2015 indicate that most wells have lower
TCE concentrations following a second injection event in 2012, however, a sustained decrease in TCE

levels was not observed in several wells proximate to the former source area. In October 2015, the
Site Conceptual Model was modified. The performance of the remedy was evaluated in Fall 2016 and
,?, Monitored Natural Attenuation Program was implemented in Fall 2017, The effectiveness of the
MNA remedy will be re-evaluated in the Fall of 2019.
Site Health Assessment
The only potential exposure pathway remaining on this site is from soil vapor intrusion; however, this
potential for exposure in the onsite building is being controlled with the operation of a sub -slab
depressurization system and positive pressure air exchange system, The potential for soil vapor
intrusion to impact indoor air quality within offsite structures will be evaluated and addressed as
necessary, Exposure to contaminated groundwater and soil is not expected because the area is
served by public water and pavement or a building covers residual soil contamination

drawings as the National Cash Register (NCR) sewer. The NCR sewer intersects sanitary sewers
from two other local manufacturing facilities: the Emerson Facility (Superfund Site No. 755010) and
the Therm Facility, The sanitary sewer on Turner Place originates from the Emerson Facility. The flow
from the NCR sewer formerly combined with Emerson's sewer on Turner Place. The sanitary sewer
line originating at the Therm Facility flows north on a portion of Hudson, and makes a 90 degree bend
at Columbia, flows one block west down upper Columbia, where it meets the NCR sewer at S. Aurora
St. It then continues on to Turner Place, where all three Facility sewer lines intersect. In November
2005, in conjunction with ongoing investigation activities, Emerson collected four soil vapor samples
along the portion of the line that traverses its property to evaluate the potential for releases of VOCs
from the sewer line itself. Six chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) were detected,
including trichloroethene (TCE), tetra cl oroethylen e (PCE), 1,1,1-tricloroethane (1,1,1 TCA), and cis-
1,2 Dichloroethene (cis-1,2 DCE). In June 2006, South Hill Business Campus collected three soil
vapor samples along the NCR sewer line on its property as part of the BCP investigation. The
concentration of TCE was elevated near the center of the site, but the level dropped off significantly
over the sewer line at the property line. In July 2007, Emerson collected three additional soil vapor
samples along the NCR sewer line in an area between the Former Axiohm Facility and the November
2005 sample locations. Elevated levels of TCE, PCE, and 1, 1, 1 -TCA were also detected in each of
these samples. Based on this information, the NYSDEC approached Emerson and National Cash
Register (former owners of the Axiohm Facility) to conduct additional sampling along these sewer
lines; however, each declined. Therefore, between September 2007 and November 2008, the
NYSDEC installed additional soil vapor points along the off site portion of the NCR sewer line and
conducted soil vapor intrusion (SVI) testing in 28 structures in the Phase VI study area (i.e., buildings
on Columbia St., east of Turner Place, and on S. Aurora St.). These results indicated that actions to
either reduce the potential for SVI to impact indoor air quality, or take reasonable and practical actions
to identify source(s) and reduce exposure, were recommended in four properties. Sub slab
depressurization systems (SSDS)were subsequently installed in two of the four homes in the Fall of
2009. As a result of the Phase VI study and soil vapor investigations conducted by NYSDEC along the
Therm Facility sanitary sewer in November and April 2008, a seventh phase of structure sampling was
completed in May 2011. The Phase VII SVI tesing included 29 residential structures located along
upper Columbia Street between S. Aurora and Hudson Streets, along Hudson St. between Columbia
Street and the nature trail, along Crescent Place, and along a portion of Pearsall Place. The NYSDEC
had approached Therm to perform this sampling, however they declined. In addtion, at DEC's request,
Therm completed a passive soil vapor investigation in November 2011 to evaluate the presence and
spacial distribution of CVOCs in shallow soil vapor at two Phase VI I structures north of the Therm
facility. Based on the results of the Phase V11 SVI testing, mitigation systems were installed by DEC in
two residential homes and enhancements made to existing radon systems in two other homes in June
2011 and Feburary 2012, respectively. In June 2012, at the request of the DEC, Therm installed three
groundwater monitoring well pairs on the Therm property. These wells were sampled by Therm in
January, June and October 2013. In Fall 2012, DEC conducted SVI testing in four addtional homes in
the Phase VI I study area. Two addtional mitigation systems were installed in February 2013 as a

result of this testing. In March 2014, DEC conducted a final round of SVI testing in six homes located
along the western boundary of the Phase V11 testing area, Based on the groundwater sampling results
and final round of SVI testing, no further action is necessary at this site. In April 2015, a settlement
consent order was executed between Therm and DEC,
Site Envii-oni''nental Assessment
Historic releases of solvents from the former NCR Facility and the Therm Facility aged sanitary sewer
lines have migrated and flowed along the surrounding bedding material, where present, or directly into
the fractured bedrock directly below the sewer line. The primary contaminants of concern at the site in
soil vapor include tetrachloroethene (PCE) and its breakdown products, trichloroethene (TCE) and
1,2 dichloroethene (DCE), These constituents have been detected above Class GA groundwater
standards in two onsite wells at the Therm facility and in a residential sump sample,

Parking Permits are the contractor's responsibility to obtain. All contractors, sub-
contractors and major vendors must obtain a college parking permit. (Parking Permits — can
be obtained at the Office of Parking Services located within the Office of Public Safety on
Farm Pond Road.)
12. Parking
Parking near and around campus is limited.
Contractor parking will be restricted to Red and Green parking lots when there is
adequate access parking (depending on time of year).
Only Superintendents and site sensitive equipment, personnel and delivery vehicles
will be allowed on site parking privileges. These permits must be approved by the Director of
Facilities Planning, Design and Construction.
Contractor parking will not necessarily be accommodated immediately adjacent to the
work site. Students and staff members have priority parking rights to College lots. It may be
necessary to designate contractor parking in remote campus lots or locations, thereby
requiring the contractor to arrange for shuttling to and from the job site (at no cost to Ithaca
College). Final parking arrangements for projects will be discussed prior to the project kick-
off, but the College will make the final determination on where contractors can and cannot
park.
Contractors or their subs who are ticketed are responsible for all fines, booting/towing
expenses, etc. Ithaca College assumes no responsibility and will not seek to have fines or
other costs waived.

Yes, I think having a quick meeting before submitting an application would also be helpful to the Planning Department. 1
have a meeting Friday from 9am-10, but otherwise could meet anytime you mentioned.
One question, does this project require any variances? 1 think the original proposal that was talked about a couple years
ago had new light poles that were higher than allowed? If you think a variance will be necessary, we might want to
include Marty Moseley (Director of Code Enforcement) in a meeting so the Zoning Board of Appeals timing and process
can be worked into your schedule. 1 have added him to this email.
In general, a Planning Board application needs to be submitted at least 30 days before a meeting, and the Planning
Board meets on the 1s' and 3rd Tuesdays of the month. Also, all Town applications are now submitted online, so here is
the link for whenever you are ready: .12.11.ps://ithacainy.viewpoiintc ooud.com/.

Good Afternoon Robb, as for the Planning board dates, I will leave this up to the Planning Department to answer. From
an Engineering perspective, we just need to make sure we have an 'approvable' plan before you can be placed on the PB
schedule. 1 do feel a meeting would be a great idea. Once we have a better understanding of the SWM philosophy, we
can start to discuss PB dates, etc. I am generally available later this week/early week between 8am-2pm. Give me a few
dates and times your team is available.

Good Afternoon Daniel,
We have been working on a modified athletic field layout with Ithaca for the Butterfield Stadium project and have finally
gotten it revised so would like to move forward with the re -initiation of the approval process. I have multiple questions
as I'm sure you do as well so I would like to kick that process off with the following:
Would it make sense to have some kind of pre -application meeting to go through the design?
What are the submission dates to be placed on the board agenda for the next meeting? (ie is it 1 month, 2 weeks in
advance?)
I'm sure I will come up with more but if we could get things started it would be appreciated. Thank you and please feel
free to contact me to discuss further.

Mabel, we performed a preliminary review of the stormwater methodology for this project. Wanted to get these
comments to you ASAP as there appears to be several major issues we need to work through. These comments may
necessitate an overall redesign of the project.
As a reminder, you have been tentatively scheduled for the April 21S`. Planning Board meeting. A requirement for final
PB approval is that the SWM is in an approvable form .... If we cannot come to a resolution on these issues, we may need
to reconsider the Planning Board schedule.
As always, should you have any questions, please feel free to call.
Thank You
Dan Thaete
Preliminary Stormwater Management Review Comments:
Soil Borings S61-S63 & S137-SI38 appear to be at/near or below the three-foot separation from the
seasonal high groundwater table and/or bedrock. The current design does not appear to adhere to the
infiltration requirements as outlined within section 6.3 of the NYS Stormwater Design Manual. Due to
the proximity of high groundwater and/or bedrock the applicant will be required to install an
impervious liner beneath tosubbase material. Modifications tothe overall storrnvvatermanagement
treatment system philosophy may berequired.
2. Please explain the pre-treatment methodology for this storrnvvatersystenn and how it conforms with
Chapter 6ofthe NYSStornnvvaterManagement Design Manual. The high infiltration rate ofthe stone
storage media does not provide the required pre-treatment as outlined within chapter 6. How will
100%pre'treatnnentbeachieved,nnaintained,andinspectedoverthe|ong'ternn?
3. Due to the high infiltration rate ofsynthetic turf systems, 20 inches or greater, the post development
[N value should reflect that of an impervious surface (i.e. all runoff is directly transmitted to the
stormwater device). Current model has a synthetic turf CN value of 86, this should be revised to 98.
4. It appears that on page 7 of the HydroCAD analysis, "Preliminary Design w/ Infiltration testing," an
exfiltration rate of 1.875 in/hr. is applied to the entire subsurface area of the field, (Device #3).
Exfiltration should only be applied to areas of the field that are 3 feet or more from bedrock and/or
high seasonal high groundwater. If liner is installed, major modifications to the design and analysis
will need to be implemented. Please clarify.

Hi Mike,
We are in the final assembly phase of the submittal of materials for the Ithaca College Butterfield project and should
have the electronic documentation shortly. We will follow up with a hard copy of the submittal materials and check for
fees via US Mail assuming that it is still being received in your office in light of the latest developments with Covid-
19. Can you please verify that is still the best way to do this?

RE: Ithaca College Butterfield Stadium Redevelopment — Athletic Field Lighting
The redevelopment activity at Butterfield Stadium at Ithaca College includes the installation of
athletic field lighting. These four light poles are at (2) 80 feet high, (1) 100 feet high, and (1) 120
feet high. These heights are necessary to provide adequate field lighting while also eliminating
the spill and glare of area outside the athletic field.
As per code 270-70 of the Medium Density Residential Zone district regulations, structures other
than buildings are limited to a maximum height of 30 feet. Athletic field lighting restricted to this
height will not adequately light the athletic field and will produce significant spill and glare to
areas off the athletic field.
On behalf of Ithaca College, we are requesting an Area Variance on the heights of the light
poles.
Thank you,
Mabel Gutliph

IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Please confirm that the design voltage listed above is accurate for this
facility. Design voltage/phase is defined as the voltage/phase being connected
and utilized at each lighting pole's electrical components enclosure disconnect.
Inaccurate design voltage/phase can result in additional costs and delays.
Contact your Musco sales representative to confirm this item.
2. In a 3 phase design, all 3 phases are to be run to each pole. When a 3 phase
design is used Musco's single phase luminaires come pre -wired to utilize all 3
phases across the entire facility.
3. One contactor is required for each pole. When a pole has multiple circuits, one
contactor is required for each circuit. All contactors are 100% rated for the
published continuous load. All contactors are 3 pole.
4. If the lighting system will be fed from more than one distribution location,
additional equipment may be required. Contact your Musco sales representative.
5. A single control circuit must be supplied per control system.
6. Size overcurrent devices using the full load amps column of the Circuit Summary
By Zone chart- Minimum power factor is 0.9.

Brief Description of Variance Request*
This is a dual request: 1) the relocation of a scoreboard from its location at the old
baseball field, 2) installation of a wind screen on the perimeter fence around the new
baseball field.
Area Variance Criteria Form
A. Will an undesirable change be produced in the character of the neighborhood or be a detriment to nearby
properties?
A. Will an undesirable change be produced in the character of the neighborhood or
be a detriment to nearby properties?
1. Will an undesirable change be produced in the
character of the neighborhood or be a detriment to
nearby properties?*
ire
Reasons:
SCOREBOARD: The proposed scoreboard is being reused from its former
baseball field location in the City of Ithaca. The proposed installation is
compatible with its surroundings, appropriate to the architectural character of
the building and field near which is it placed, and contains no advertising.
Cornell provided information about the scoreboard to Town staff on October 13,
2021, and was told that it would be subject to staff review. On April 3, 2023,
Cornell was informed that the scoreboard required a variance from the Zoning
Board of Appeals. Due to the sequence of events, the scoreboard was not
included in the zoning variance application previously submitted to this Board,
which granted a variance to the project for fence heights on February 8, 2022.
The scoreboard and proposed location were included in the project plans that
received final site plan approval on March 1, 2022.
WINDSCREEN: A windscreen is an integral part of a baseball field and is
compatible with the character of field and facilities. The logos on the
windscreen are unlikely to be visible from outside of the complex.

about:srcdoc
2. Can the benefit sought by the applicant be
achieved by a feasible alternative to the variance?*
we
Reasons:
SCOREBOARD: The scoreboard is an integral part of and necessary for the
operation of the baseball complex.
WINDSCREEN: A windscreen is a necessary part of a baseball field in order to
reduce the impact of wind on the ball during play. It also creates a backdrop
that will provide clearer visibility of the ball for the participants.
3. Is the requested variance substantial?*
we
Reasons:
SCOREBOARD: The scoreboard is 350s.f., typical of an athletic scoreboard in
terms of size and design, in order for it to be visible to players and spectators.
The portions of the scoreboard containing Cornell logos is appr. 50s.f.
The scoreboard is similar in size and design as other existing scoreboards in
the Town of Ithaca (e.g., 400s.f. Ithaca College Butterfield stadium sign, 350s.f.
Ithaca College Freeman baseball field sign,175s.f. Ithaca College Carp Wood
Field sign,115s.f. Valentino baseball field sign at Tutelo Park, etc.)
WINDSCREEN: The complete area of windscreen is 5,715s.f. and the portion of
the windscreen containing print is approximately 830s.f. and will be installed
on the outfield fence. It is very common to have the facility's name and/or
other language on a windscreen surrounding a sports facility. There is no
advertising on the windscreen.
4. Would the variance have an adverse impact on the
physical or environmental conditions in the
neighborhood?*
M
3 of 6 4/14/2023, 12:50 PM
ZBAA-23-7
Reasons:
about:srcdoc
SCOREBOARD: The scoreboard will not have any physical or environmental
impact. Its presence and electricity usage was included in the materials
reviewed by the Planning Board during the environmental review of the
baseball complex.
WINDSCREEN: The windscreen has no physical or environmental impact.
5. Is the alleged difficulty self-created?*
W
Reasons:
SCOREBOARD: The alleged difficulty was not self-created. As described, the
size of the scoreboard is typical for this type of complex, and needs to be this
size so that it is visible to players and spectators. The scoreboard contains no
advertising.
WINDSCREEN: The alleged difficulty for the windscreen was not self-created. A
windscreen is needed to mitigate negative impact from wind during play and is
