George Blanchard , 165 East King Road , stated that he would like to build a pole barn for a tractor . Mr. Niefer asked if Mr. Blanchard is actively engaged in farming the land . Mr. Blanchard stated that he has a John Deer A . The reason for the height of the door is because the John Deer A is fairly tall in height . He would like to be able to drive the tractor into the barn . Chairperson Stotz asked where Mr. Blanchard presently stores the farm equipment . Mr. Blanchard stated that it is at his father's house . Mr. Frost stated that Mr. Blanchard mentioned that access drive was going to come in at a different location from the current driveway. Mr. Blanchard stated that it would be on the northwest corner where the pond is located . Once you enter the lot , it would be parallel to the road for about 300 feet then there is an access cut down the middle of the property that will access the barn . Mr. Frost stated that 433 feet is shown on the portion of the property near Bruno and then another 1400 feet. There is a total of 1800 feet . Mr. Blanchard stated that is correct . It is the latest survey. Chairperson Stotz stated that there are a lot of trees on the property. Would the trees screen the pole barn from Chase Lane? Mr. Blanchard stated that he couldn 't see a house from where the barn will be located . He stated that he is not sure why a variance is needed for a single-story building. He is unable to build a building with less height . Mr. Niefer asked if Mr. Blanchard was planning to do anything else in the building other than the storage of farm equipment . Mr. Blanchard stated that it is going to be a traditional dirt floor pole barn that is unheated . ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PAGE 4 MARCH 8 , 2000 APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - MAY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED Attorney Barney asked if there would be plumbing . Mr . Blanchard responded no . Chairperson Stotz asked if it would be open on the sides . Mr . Blanchard responded no . It is going to be enclosed . Chairperson Stotz asked what is the siding . Mr. Blanchard replied it would have the same siding as the house . Mr. Sigel asked if the barn would have electricity. Mr. Blanchard stated that he does not plan on having electricity in the barn . It is a cold storage building . Chairperson Stotz asked if it would have eaves troughs . Mr . Blanchard replied that it would not . He is going to have one-foot over hangs . Mr. Niefer asked if he was planning to use the barn to store equipment that he would use for any kind of business operation . Mr . Blanchard stated no . Mr. Niefer stated that it is a nice residential area . Chairperson Stotz opened the public hearing at 7 : 25 p . m . , and asked if any members of the public wished to be heard . With no persons present to be heard , Chairperson Stotz closed the public hearing at 7 :26 p . m . ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Attorney Barney stated that this is a large building for one John Deer tractor. Mr. Blanchard stated that to double the size of the building is not much more expensive than to build the smaller building . Mr. Frost stated that there is a large house on the property. He might want to store something else in the barn down the road . Attorney Barney stated that the reason for the barn does not require the size that is being built . The concern is that in an R- 30 zone the uses be limited to those that are permitted in the zone . A ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PAGE 5 MARCH 8, 2000 APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - MAY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED large building such as this often invites a need to move into some type of business that would support it . Mr. Blanchard stated that he did not want to by a canvas tent over the tractor. He wanted something of more quality. He also has a boat that he would like to store in the barn . Chairperson Stotz asked if he had horses . Mr . Blanchard stated that he has horses at his parents' house . It is not being built for horses . ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: MOTION made by Ronald Krantz, seconded by James Niefer.

A vote on the MOTION resulted as follows: AYES: Stotz, Ellsworth, Krantz, Niefer, Sigel. NAYS: None. The MOTION was declared to be carried unanimously. Chairperson Stotz stated that the reason for the height increase is because of the height of the traffic . Mr. Blanchard stated that in order to structurally build the building , the joices with an 8/ 12 pitch makes it a 20-foot building . He cannot build a shorter building with the 10-foot sidewall . The joices run the shortest distance . Chairperson Stotz asked how much would the width of the building need to be reduced in order to comply with the ordinance . Mr. Blanchard stated that he would not be able to pull a tractor with a brushhog or his boat into the building . The code is 15 feet height . Attorney Barney stated that the code is designed for garages . It was also adopted at a time when the style was lower roofs . ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PAGE 6 MARCH 8, 2000 APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - MAY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED Chairperson Stotz stated that he would be inclined not to approve this , but it is on a large piece of property and trees screen it . It is clearly a large building . Mr. Blanchard responded that it is not as tall as his house . Chairperson Stotz stated that it is still a large building as opposed to a garage or utility building . Mr. Krantz stated that 1700 square feet is the size of a house . Mr. Frost stated that the width of the boardroom is about 25 feet . The length is 34 feet . Mr. Blanchard stated that he does not know of the average size of a pole barn . Mr . Frost stated that he could not see Mr. Blanchard 's house from Chase Lane . It can be seen from King Road .

He could not see Mr. Blanchard 's house . Mr . Frost stated that it is very secluded . Mr. Krantz stated that the building would be approximately double the size of the boardroom . Mr. Frost stated that it will be another five feet wider and another 15 feet longer than the boardroom . Mr . Niefer asked if notices were sent to the neighbors . Mr. Frost responded yes . It is noted that the 10 400t sidewall would accommodate a 9-foot door for farm equipment . Mr . Blanchard responded that it was done in the center. It was done more for aesthetics . Chairperson Stotz asked if the roof would be the same style roof as the house . Mr . Blanchard stated that he might have a steel roof , but he is being told that they sweat a lot . He does not want moisture . It will probably be the same that is on the house . Chairperson Stotz asked if it would be insulated . Mr . Blanchard responded that it would not be insulated . Chairperson Stotz asked if he would like to have the barn insulated at a later date . ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PAGE 7 MARCH 8, 2000 APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - MAY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED Mr. Blanchard stated that he is not building it to insulate it . It is possible at a later date . It would be nice to have his riding lawn mower on a pad , but it would be done at a later date . Chairperson Stotz asked if Mr. Blanchard discussed this with Mr. Newhart . Mr. Blanchard stated that he has had discussions with Mr. Newhart and he does not have any problem . Mr. Frost asked if Mr. Blanchard would be able to have a home occupation out of the building with the proposed condition in the resolution . He would not be able to do something that is permitted . Attorney Barney stated that it is a condition of getting a variance for a very large accessory building in an R- 30 zone . If he wanted to do something later on , he could come back to the board . Mr. Blanchard stated that the board passed a pole barn building structure , with concrete floor and heated of the same footprint without restrictions . Why is this different ? Mr. Frost stated that it is difficult for the board to know the circumstances without being able to see the file . They do not have the file before them . The person did have some home occupation components to it . Mr. Blanchard stated that he was not prohibited from commercial use . Mr. Frost stated that he was prohibited from having a bathroom . Attorney Barney stated that each application is taken on its face . This board and the prior boards are not going to be unreasonable if there is a need shown . He came in with a particular application for a particular building with for a particular use . There might have been conditions imposed on that application as well . This board has a concern about the size of the building . It is being represented to the board that the purpose of the building is cold storage . They are willing to allow that . They do want to retain an element of control that if the use changes that it be brought before the board . Mr. Blanchard asked if he would be required to share the use change . Attorney Barney stated that absent the restriction , he would not be obliged to come forward as long as the use was permitted it the zone . There are some types of commercial uses as home occupations . This is introducing what could be a very large home occupation in a residential zone . MOTION made by Harry Ellsworth, seconded by Ronald Krantz RESOLVED, that this board grants the appeal of George Blanchard, requesting a variance from the requirements of Article V, Section 20 of the Town of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance, to be permitted to construct an accessory building with a height of no more than 21 feet ( 15 foot height limitation) to ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PAGE 8 MARCH 8, 2000 APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - MAY 10, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED house farm equipment and a boat, located at 165 East King Road, Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No, 44- 2- 7, Residence District R-30, with the condition that the building shall not be used for any commercial purposes based on the following findings: a. the need for the height is a result of the fact that the building has a very large footprint and in order to obtain a reasonable pitch to the roof, it is needed to exceed the normal height limits; and be this is a very large building in an area that is on a large piece of property, but nevertheless is a residential R-30 zone; and C. as a result there is a concern that the building not be used for something that would cause a change in the neighborhood character and alter the area as a residential zone; and d, therefore the board finds is appropriate to impose a condition that no commercial activities be conducted out of the building.
