The MOTION was declared to be carried unanimously. The second appeal to be heard was as follows : APPEAL of Timothy Ciaschi , Appellant , requesting a variance form the requirements of Article IV , Section 11 (6) , to be permitted to construct a new single-family residence with a building height of 40 ± feet (36 foot height limitation ) at 120 Grove Road , Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No . 23- 1 - 11 . 112 , Residence District R- 15 , Timothy Ciaschi , 124 Woolf Lane , stated that he is constructing a single-family home at 120 Grove Road . The house is higher than the allowed . He informed his architect . The architect did not want to change the height because it would change the look of the house . He said that New York State looks at it differently than the Town of Ithaca . It is usually the average grade to the mid-point of the roof . The Town takes the top of the roof to the lowest grade . Attorney Barney stated that the Town allows a large dimension . Mr . Frost stated that the proposed house site is secluded from other buildings . It is probably several hundred feet away from other buildings . ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PAGE 7 MAY 24, 2000 APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JULY 12, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED Mr . Ciaschi stated that he owns four acres in front of the proposed house and six acres behind the proposed house . Attorney Barney asked what is the height of roof. Mr. Ciaschi stated that he is not sure . It is a 10/ 12 pitch . Mr. Frost stated that it is roughly 17 feet to the ceiling of the second story. Mr. Ciaschi stated that from the front it is a two- story house . They are removing a lot of dirt from behind the house to have a walkout basement . Mr. Ellsworth asked if the house is not visible because of the grade or because of the leaves on the trees . Mr. Frost stated that its location is several hundred feet away from any houses . Chairperson Stotz asked in the 105 feet between the Grove Road extension and the proposed house , is there vegetation . Mr. Ciaschi stated that it is small brush . Mr. Sigel asked if Grove Road Extension is an existing road . Mr. Frost responded no . The house is going to be visible . It will be several hundred feet away from other houses . Mr. Smith stated that the portion of the house that would be visible from other roads appears to be a two- story building. Mr. Niefer asked if this was being built as a spec house . Mr. Ciaschi responded that it is going to be his home . Attorney Barney asked who lives at 11 . 113 on the tax map . Mr. Ciaschi responded that Ken Audio was deeded that property many years ago . There is no house there . He lives in North Carolina . Chairperson Stotz stated that the driveway will be off Grove Road . Mr. Frost stated that Mr. Ciaschi did obtain an easement to cross some Town parkland that he had donated to the Town . The Town Board has reviewed the access to the parcel . ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PAGE 8 MAY 24 , 2000 APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JUL Y 12, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED Chairperson Stotz asked why would they extend Grove Road . Attorney Barney stated that it was thought there might be another subdivision . They were reserving the ability to have a road . Chairperson Stotz stated that the height is not going to be in access of 40 feet . Mr. Ciaschi stated that it would depend upon how the house is being looked at . From the front , it is less than 40 feet . From the back , it is higher than the height limitation . Chairperson Stotz stated that it is more isolated than the other houses in the area . Mr. Ciaschi stated that he had a neighbor call him because they thought that the house would be near their pond . Chairperson Stotz opened the public hearing at 7 : 45 p . m . , and asked if any member of the public wished to be heard . With no persons to be heard , Chairperson Stotz closed the public hearing at 7 : 46 p . m . ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT : Mr. Smith stated that the three- story section of the house would be visible from the back . It will appear as a two-story house from Grove Road and Woolf Lane . Chairperson Stotz asked if the house will appear as a tall house from Woolf Lane . Mr. Smith stated that it would appear as a two-story house . When he was driving on Woolf Lane , there were only a couple of locations where the house could be seen . Mr. Frost stated that there are large houses in the area . Mr. Sigel stated that the board has been getting a number of these request . The houses were all about 39 feet . It might be appropriate to amend the law rather than continually grant variances . Mr . Ellsworth stated that it was amended a few years ago from 32 feet to 36 feet . Mr . Sigel stated that the law needs to be changed to allow this type of house to be built or the board should not be granting these approvals . Chairperson Stotz stated that most of the height variances have been on sites where there is a slope . This is the first that he can recall that is on a level site . Mr. Sigel stated that people are taking advantage with properties that have a natural slope . They could also move some dirt around and not have a walkout basement . ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS PAGE 9 MAY 24, 2000 APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED - JUL Y 12, 2000 - APPROVED - APPROVED - APPROVED Mr. Krantz stated that the law could also be changed so that they correspond with the State ' s law. Mr. Frost stated that it becomes more complicated . It is important to remember that the height limitation is not just a building code limitation . It is a zoning , land use limitation . Mr. Krantz stated that there should be a uniformity in the way that things are measured . Mr. Frost stated that it is simpler to go by the low point and high point . Mr . Sigel stated that he does not object to the method of measurement . Mr . Frost stated that it does offer the Town an opportunity to review the height variances . Mr. Sigel stated that it might not be desirable to allow the height to be 40 feet . It might be appropriate to allow one side of the house to show more face . This would accommodate sloping property. He feels that the board is making law by continuing to allow the height variances . Chairperson Stotz stated that the type of building that is happening in the Town of Ithaca is that it is more upscale housing . Those houses seem to be getting bigger and bigger. The height requirement has more to do with the topography of the Town and obstructing other people' s views . This is a situation where it is not obstructing anyone ' s view. Mr. Ciaschi stated that he would not build a house if it would obstruct someone 's view. Attorney Barney stated that they struggled over drafting the existing law. They came to the conclusion that they wanted the duel measurement . The dimensions that they used were requiring a lot of variances . It was then increased by four feet . It used to be that the style of the house was a gradual pitch . The steep roofs cause the problems . This is fairly workable . It is a rare occasion that someone comes in and gives the board an opportunity to look at it . There might be a circumstance where it does impact someone 's view. In that case the board could choose not to grant the appeal . Mr. Sigel stated that maybe one case per month is an exception given the number of houses being built . Mr. Frost stated that the board is seeing more because it is house construction season . Mr. Ellsworth stated that the board has a representative on Codes and Ordinances Committee . They can bring it to their attention . RESOLUTION NO. 2000=34 — ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT = Tim Ciaschi Height Variance . MOTION made by Ronald Krantz , seconded by Harry Ellsworth .
