Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes
June 16 , 2003
APPROVED
Tax Parcel No. 19 . -2-21 , Residence District R - 15 . The construction does not
enlarge the existing building footprint but enlarges it skyward . Said lot is
deficient in size and building lot line setbacks .
Claudia Brenner, 528 West Green Street — I am an architect and I drew the plans for
this project . The two areas that cause us to be here for a variance have to do with
rebuilding the master bedroom roof . One , we are increasing the size of the rafters to
get the proper insulation and ventilation in that roof because we had a real undersized
roof structure . Those are changing and thereby raising the roof a few inches .
Additionally we are putting a small dormer approximately 3 . 5 feet tall . You can see it on
the elevation drawings . Those have been reduced . . . the ones in your set . It is going up
about 3 . 5 feet beyond the current shed roof . That would be on the side of the house
that you can see from the lake . On the roadside we are increasing the ceiling height in
one bedroom and adding a pitched roof . Previously there was a shed roof on that side .
One of the owners is here and took a photograph from the water so you could see the
adjoining properties and see that even with the 3 . 5-foot additional height in the master
bedroom dormer, they were still below the heights of the adjoining properties . Other
than the fact that they own a non -conforming lot there are no other issues for the board
to consider.
Mr. Frost — To clarify , the footprint of the building does not change . It is just that
building upwards that creates the extension of the non -conforming building .
Ms . Brenner — Correct .
Chairperson Sigel — Andy , is the change from unheated spaces to heated
spaces . . . does that require approval ?
Mr. Frost — The addition of building mass , yes .
Chairperson Sigel — The roof you are adding in the back is still lower than the highest
point of the roof?
Ms . Brenner — Yes .
Mr. Frost — The height of the building does not change really .
Ms . Brenner — No .
Mr. Frost — The maximum height .
Ms . Brenner — Right . In fact , we are improving the ceiling height in the one back room
by putting on that back room . We are improving the ceiling height in two bedrooms and
improving the insulation in the roof system .
Chairperson Sigel — Anyone have any questions ? Mike , any comments ?

Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes
June 16, 2003
APPROVED
Mr. Smith — With the footprint not changing and the overall height not changing , it
actually appears like the aesthetic looks of the building will improve with the additions
and the upgrades .
Mr. Krantz — It is hard to object to a renovation where nothing is in the way of the
footprint is being changed .
Chairperson Sigel — It is almost entirely an upgrade of the existing structure . Any other
questions , comments? We will open the public hearing at this point (8 : 08 p . m . ) Would
anyone like to speak? If not , we ' ll close the public hearing (8 : 09 p . m . ) . If no one has
any other questions or comments , would someone like to make a motion on the
environmental assessment ?

Modification on a Non-Conforming Lot
Zoning Board of Appeals
A . Action is Unlisted .
B . Action will not receive coordinated review .
C . Could action result in any adverse effects on, to or arising from the following :
Cl . Existing air quality, surface or groundwater quality or quantity, noise levels,
existing traffic patterns, solid waste production or disposal , potential for erosion,
drainage or flooding problems?
No significant adverse effects are anticipated relating to air quality, water quality or quantity,
noise levels, traffic, solid waste, or potential for erosion, drainage, or flooding as a result of
the proposed action .
The proposal is to rebuild an entry and porch and to add a dormer ceiling to the master
bedroom at 1014 East Shore Drive, Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel 19-2-21 . The approximate
area of the lot is 3794 ft2 , while the Town of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance requires a lot of
15 ,000 ft2 in the R- 15 District where 1014 East Shore Drive is located . Thus, approval must
be granted for any modifications on this lot .
The two stories of the entryway will be demolished , as will the back porch . A new entryway
with an extended exterior landing and a new family room will be constructed in their original
footprints . The roof over these two areas will be replaced, with the roof over the entryway
changing from a flat slope to a dormer. Along with other modifications to the interior plan of
the house, the master bedroom will be expanded and a dormer roof constructed over it in
place of the current sloping roof.
The reconstruction of the entryway, family room , the interior modifications, and the changes
to the roof configuration all occur within the building ' s current footprint. Therefore, it is
unlikely that these changes will affect erosion potential or drainage ability over the long
term . The changes do not include any increase in occupancy, so it is unlikely that the
changes will significantly affect water, noise, solid waste, traffic, or parking issues .
C2 . Aesthetic, agriculture, archeological historic or other natural or cultural
resources, or community or neighborhood character?
No archeological , historical , or other cultural resources are known to exist on the site, or are
otherwise affected by the proposed action . There is little potential to affect the aesthetic
character of the community, as the only permanent sign of the modification viewable from
Cayuga Lake will be the new dormer over the master bedroom (which does not exceed the
current height pf the roof) .
C3 . Vemetation or fauna fish shellfish or wildlife species, significant habitats, or
threatened or endangered species?
None anticipated . No significant vegetation or wildlife habitats are known to exist on this
site .
C4 . The Town ' s existing plans or goals as officially adopted, or a change in use or
intensity of land or other natural resources?
None anticipated .
C5 . Growth, subsequent development, or related activities likely to be induced by the
proposed action?
None Anticipated .
C6 . Long tern , short terns , cumulative, or other effects not identified in CI -05 ?
None Anticipated .
C7 . Other impacts (including changes in use of either quantity or type of energy)?
None Anticipated ,
D . Is there, or is there likely to be, controversy related to potential adverse environmental
impacts?
No controversy related to potential adverse environmental impacts is anticipated .
PART M . — Staff Recommendation, Determination of Significance
Based on review of the materials submitted for the proposed action, the proposed scale of it,
and the information above, a negative determination of environmental significance is
recommended for the action as proposed .
