Ithaca College Sally Mennen , 997 Taughannock Boulevard Chairperson Sigel — Good evening . Welcome to the September meeting of the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals meeting . Tonight we have 6 appeals and we will be taking them in the following order. The appeal of Judith Kellock - The appeal of David Auble The appeal of Lewis Clark The appeal of Edward Kratil - The appeal of Ithaca College - The appeal of Richard and Sally Mennen a Edward Kratil , Owner/Appellant, requesting an area variance from the requirements of Chapter 270 , Article VIII , Section 270=60( C) of the Town of Ithaca Code to be permitted to construct a workshop addition to an existing garage/barn located at 1151 Danby Road , Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No . 36=2- 18 , Low Density Residential Zone . The proposed addition will encroach into the required side yard setback for structures and garages in a Low Density Residential Zone . The appellant may also require a variance from Section 270=60 ( E ) , as accessory buildings may not occupy any open space other than a rear yard Chairperson Sigel — Please start with your name and address . Ed Kratil , 1151 Danby Road Chairperson Sigel — Is there anything you would like to add at the start? Mr. Kratil — I was here in front of you 3 years ago where you approved a 5 foot side yard setback for this building as well as a height variance . I have . . . Chairperson Sigel — I ' m sorry. Could you pull the microphone a little closer? Thanks . Mr. Kratil — My hobbies seem to have outgrown my space . Within the past 3 years I have picked up 2 older cars , collector cars and I have not a lot of space to swing a board around really . My wife parks in this garage as well as myself and then I have these two other vehicles , which doesn 't . . . it takes up a lot of space . So the additional 24 feet in the back would allow me to do household projects and other things related to the automobiles that wouldn 't necessarily throw sawdust or . . .there ' s a certain separation there . Chairperson Sigel — How large is your lot? Mr. Kratil — Two and a half acres , 2 . 4 1 believe . Chairperson Sigel — What is the allowable square footage for accessory buildings for that size lot? I forgot what the . . . Ms . Brock — Accessory buildings that are not a garage , Kirk? Is that what you are looking for? I ' ll read you what it says for permitted accessory buildings , 99 up to three accessory buildings other than a garage , all such accessory buildings in the aggregate , not to exceed a total of 600 square feet in size unless the lot is 3 acres or larger, which in case the aggregate area of the accessory building may not exceed 2 , 000 square feet . ,, Chairperson Sigel — But there is no restriction on something that is a garage . Is that true? Ms . Brock — Give me a minute to make sure . . . I believe that is true . Chairperson Sigel — When you are finished with this , it is going to be all one building ? Mr. Kratil — Yes , sir. Chairperson Sigel — You are going to be removing at least part of that back wall of the existing structure . Mr. Kratil — The wall will stay but the siding will come off and there will be an opening cut in so you can go from one spot to the other. Chairperson Sigel — So a doorway? Mr. Kratil — Yes . Chairperson Sigel — Okay. Ms . Brock — Kirk , there is some maximum lot coverage requirements for accessory buildings . Accessory buildings in the aggregate may not occupy more than 15 % of any required rear yard . Chairperson Sigel — Okay . Ms . Brock — That' s it . I don 't think there is any square footage limitation on . . . ( not audible ) . . . Mr. Kratil — I believe as part of the application as well it asks how much built area is on the property itself and I believe I came up with 3 percent and that was including my house . I ' m well under 15 percent . Chairperson Sigel — And this is clearly a garage , so . . . anyone have any questions or comments? I mean personally I was actually at first reluctant to grant the original variance , but then after considering the particular law and its pretty far back and its well screened and actually its sited nicely on the property even though its somewhat close to the property line . Then obviously this addition is even further back. Mr. Krantz — You can 't see it from the road . B Chairperson Sigel — Well screened . It' s even well-screened from the neighbor... Mr. Matthews — I ' m just a little confused about the print here , the blue print . And it shows on the left hand side of this print , this one here , that there was a 5 yard setback variance granted and I think the arrow points to the dashed am as the variance line , right? Chairperson Sigel — Well , the dashed line is 5 feet in from the property line . Mr. Matthews — Okay . So he has not gone into that 5 feet? He ' s still short? Chairperson Sigel — No , but I' m pretty sure that it was the case that when we granted that variance for 5 feet it was only to build what was proposed at the time . . Ms . Brock — Kirk , that' s correct . The condition was that the structure be built substantially as shown on the applicant' s plans and sited as indicated on the applicant' s plans . Mr. Matthews — So what was built at the time? Chairperson Sigel — Well , the existing barn . Mr. Matthews — Oh , I see . Mr. Kratil — 26 x 40 . Mr. Matthews — Okay . Chairperson Sigel — So that existing barn was granted a variance to be as close as 5 feet , which the applicant actually didn 't get that close to . . . but the variance didn 't allow unlimited building within 5 feet, just for that proposal so that is why he needs a separate variance for this new proposal . Mr. Matthews — Yeah . It' s out in the country and it' s out of view. Mr. Ellsworth - And it' s only the corner that comes within 5 feet . . Chairperson Sigel — Any other questions , comments? Okay . We will open the public hearing . Anyone wish to speak? Are you . . . Male voice — I am the neighbor. Chairperson Sigel — We would actually like you to come speak now, not that you weren 't welcome before . Mr. Yengo — I represent Lillian Yengo , who is the owner of record of the property in question . We are his neighbors to the north and you couldn 't ask for a better member of the Town of Ithaca , Ed and Debby Kratil . I couldn 't ask for better neighbors . They took a 100 year old house and continued to remodel it after I did and they added to it and with the barn . And I happen to have a barn next to his barn that extends further back than the barn he has already. So again , your remarks are that he is screened from any point of view. A barn is looking at a barn . But you just couldn 't ask for a better member of the community and the work that they do and how they handle their grounds , and their fauna and their everything else , its just a . . . to cooperate with his desires is . . . besides being code compliant is what we should be doing and I ' m pleased to have him as a neighbor. Chairperson Sigel — Thank you very much . Okay if there is no one else who wishes to speak we' ll close the public hearing . Anyone else have any questions , comments? I will move to grant the appeal of Edward Kratil , requesting an area variance from the requirements of Chapter 270 , Article VI I I , Section 270-60C of the. Town of Ithaca Code to be permitted to construct a workshop addition to an existing garage and barn located at 1151 Danby Road , Town of Ithaca tax parcel number 36 . -2.- 18 , low density residential zone . The proposed addition will encroach into the required side yard setback . . . ( coughing by another) . . . structures and garages in a low density residential zone . Susan , what is your opinion on the Section 270-60E? Ms . Brock — You do not need this variance because this garage is in the rear yard and garages are permitted in the rear yard . Mr. Kanter — And that' s thanks in large part to our . . . the new law, that more clearly defines side and rear yards . Chairperson Sigel — Okay . This motion has the following conditions : 1 ) that the new structure being built be no closer to the side lot line than 5 feet and 2 ) that the structure be built as indicated on the applicant' s plans , 3 ) that no further structure be allowed to encroach within the required side yard setback . And with the following findings : that the requirements . . . that the benefit to the applicant does outweigh any detriment to the health , safety , and welfare of the community, specifically that while the benefit the applicant wishes to achieve which is expanded garage space could be achieved on another portion of his property , but it would not work nearly as well for him and would involve creating more structure visible from the road and from other neighbors . 2 ) that there will not be an undesirable change in the neighborhood character or to nearby properties given that the proposed structure is well-screened . At the request . . . is in this case substantial , but none-the- less , mitigated by the other factors , that there will be no adverse physical or environmental affect and that while the alleged difficulty is self- created , again it is mitigated by the other factors in this case . Second ? Mr. Krantz — Second . Chairperson Sigel — All in favor? , Board — Aye . Chairperson Sigel . — Okay. Thank you very much .

OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 17 , 2004 APPROVED MINUTES . , CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — Sorry about that . See you next month . OK , . the next appeal is that of Edward Kratil . . . APPEAL of Edward Kratil , Appellant , requesting a variance from the requirements of Article VIII , Sections 806 and 807 of the revised Town . of . Ithaca Zoning Ordinance ( effective April 1 , 2004) , to construct a 1 , 040 + square foot accessory/garage building with a loft located at 1151 Danby Road , Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No . 36 -2 -18 , Low Density Residential Zone . . Said building will exceed the 15 foot height limit and is proposed to have a side yard setback of . 5 ± feet. CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — Hi . Mr . Kratil — Edward Kratil , 1151 Danby Road . Mrs . Kratil — And Deborah Kratil , 1151 Danby Road . Mr. Kratil — What we would like to do is provide parking on a daily basis for the two vehicles , as well as shop space in the back to restore an old car as well as some loft space for storage up top , up above . I assure you there is no distillery involved . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — If there was you may want to put it up on the second floor in the back . Mr . Kratil — that may work . We are asking for two variances , one is in height , just to provide us with some extra storage space up above . And the second would be to encroach in the 15-foot side-yard setback required by what is considered a one-story garage . Due to the placement of the house on the site and the siting of the existing gravel driveway , we would like to fit this structure between the property line and out existing shed , so we don ' t have to move it . In addition we would like to keep the roof pitches appropriate to the house that we own , therefore we would need the additional variance for the height . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — I stopped by your home today and looked out back and I have to say I don 't really have a problem with the height , but I do find it hard to believe that you can 't situate it reasonably on the lot such that it doesn ' t encroach on the 40 foot or close to a 40 foot setback . I mean , is there a reason why you' re trying . to retain the existing shed in particular. It seems pretty small compared to what you ' re building . Mr . Kratil — It is . I think that ' s probably the best spot for the garage , because it is a straight shot off the gravel roundabout that exists now . If we were to remove the existing shed , we would lose a lot more green space that you can see right from the back of the house . 39 TOWN OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS . MAY 17 , 2004 APPROVED MINUTES CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — I mean I appreciate your feeling that that may be the best spot for the new structure from your point of view, but on the other hand you have a fairly large lot , you do have some considerable flexibility as to where you can place it , and at least as' far as I can see it would seem still pretty reasonable to basically put it where the shed is now , and one of the findings we need to make when we grant a variance is that there is no reasonable alternative other than getting the variance to achieve what the applicant wants to achieve , and in this case I would have a hard time making that finding since , you know ; it would be pretty easy for you to move it over, and if it were set back say partly , I mean , either location you would put it , I assume you would take out some trees , sort of set it back into the woods a little bit . Mr. Kratil — There are two remaining trees that would need to be removed . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK , so I mean setting it back a little farther into the wooded area or moving it over some , I don 't really see a significant difficulty in that . That's just my feeling , I ' ll let other board members . Mr. Krantz — I concur with your conclusion . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK . i Mr. Ellsworth — I agree . I don 't think it has to be 40 feet necessarily . Mr. Kratil — The existing shed is 43 feet from the property line . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — Yeah . Mr. Kratil — Which would put I guess the left side of the garage right about at the left side of the existing shed , that would mean we would have to gravel about 50 feet almost in a diagonal toward the southeast , and .that would take up whatever grass we have between the existing maple to be saved there and the large pine trees on the right hand side. Whereas if we kept it in a straight shot , we would still have some green space back there . Mr . Frost — I mean he shows on his map on the larger site sketch , existing maple tree to be saved , which kind of pushes the . . . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL SIGEL — Well that' s going to be saved no matter where he puts the . . . Mr . Frost — Well I mean if he 's ' going to have a driveway in . Are you going to have a driveway into this that' s not shown on this sketch ? Mr . Kratil — Yes , basically it 's going to be a straight , straight shot .into the . . . 40 TOWN . OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 17 , 2004 APPROVED MINUTES Mr . Frost — It wouldn 't be a straight shot to the driveway if he has to line it up with the . . . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK , so normally the setback is 40 feet but you ' re allowed 25 feet for the garage , but this exceeds the height for a garage . So you couldn 't put it 15 feet by right . Mr. Frost — But you know the ordinance , and I ' m not so sure the new ordinance clearly addresses this , the old ordinance considers the garage an accessory building and an accessory building can be 3 or 5 feet from the property line , but they specifically say a garage has to be 15 foot , so if he didn ' t park a car in there he could be 3 .feet or 5 feet in this zone . The fact that he puts a car in there . . . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — But can an accessory building be this high ? Mr. Frost - No . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK . Mr. Frost - we still have the height variance . Mr. Kratil — they also have one story garage and a two-story garage , too . Mr . Frost — This is a storage loft , so I don 't know. In some cases , the building code doesn 't consider a loft or a mezzanine a story , if the loft or mezzanine is no more than a third of the. floor area of the space below . Mr. Kratil — There is no intended living space up there . Mr . Frost — I guess what I ' m saying is that if he weren 't putting a car in there , he ' d be fine with a five foot setback I think in this particular zone . The fact that he's putting a car in there is making him have to have an increased setback and then the height is the height . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — Right , right . Well , if no one else has any comments , maybe we ' ll open the public hearing , see if anyone has any comments before we start to haggle over differences . We ' ll open the public hearing now, . if anyone wishes to speak , sir, please . Chairperson Sigel opens the public hearing at 9: 03 p . m . Mr. Yengo — John Yengo . I ' m hear representing my wife who owns the property at 1147 to 1149 Danby Road , lot 36-2 -2 . 2 . These folks are my neighbors . He ' s reviewed his entire plan with both my wife and myself. I couldn 't ask for better 41 TOWN OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 17 , 2004 APPROVED MINUTES neighbors . I couldn 't ask for a better plan . I 'M here to support any decision that he makes in building this facility . The issue as I see it is height , well the trees are about 4 times as tall as he wants to build his garage . So he 's not going to remove them , he's going to set his garage among them which will certainly enhance the beautiful , the beauty of his 100 year old house that he lives in . He has the personal skills to do this . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — for me personally I ' m not so concerned about the height , just about the rather small setback that he proposed from the lot line . Mr. Yengo — Well , I heard you say that you visited the site , and if you walk back there you will see that it is quite wooded . And this is why people buy properties like this . They want the woods to remain , they don 't want to think in terms of tearing down , cutting down trees . So the reason he hasn 't moved in one direction or the other is because of it . And the other thing is , as he perceives it, it's a straight line again coming off of Route 96 B . You want a straight line to your garage . You don 't want any curves or anything , because you ' ll never make it in wintertime . But , I just think that the project is done in a professional manner, I think that the neighbor who has been there since 1962 , 1 can 't even. add it up anymore , doesn 't object . He 's over 200 feet away from his other neighbor. Ithaca College owns everything behind him , so god forbid someday they' re going to come in and emancipate the whole territory , so he's going to be — he 's probably going to be the one who ' s going to suffer with that particular excavate . They own 30 acres behind him . So , why can 't he do what he wants now? CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK , thank you very much for your comments . MR . BARNEY — What' s the total height of this building ? Mr . Kratil — I scaled off the builders drawings , and we' re looking at 22 feet . Mr. Barney — 22 feet ? That' s all the way to the peak of the roof? Mr. Kratil — That's correct . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — Anyone else wish to speak? If not , we ' ll close the public hearing . Well , for me personally , given the ringing endorsement of your neighbor there , I would feel comfortable imposing the normal setback for a garage which is only 1 . 5 feet which I don 't think would affect your, and depending on how you angle it may require that you move or remove the shed , but I don 't that would affect the layout . . . Mr. Kratil — That would require the removal of the shed . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK . But I mean otherwise I don 't think it would affect the layout a whole lot as far as the utility of the structure for you . I don 't know 42 TOWN . OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 17 , 2004 APPROVED MINUTES how others feel . If other board members feel like 15 feet would ::;be a large enough setback or not . Mr. Krantz — Sure . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK . Mr. Krantz — And the height variance . Mr. Barney — I ' m sorry , I didn 't understand your answer to the question , Mr. Kratil , if you go 15 feet , you would . have to remove that shed ? Mr. Kratil — I do believe so , yes . Mr. Smith — The dimensions are right up here — there ' s 43 feet between the shed and the property line . If you take the 15 foot setback off of that , you have 28 feet , and the building width is 26 feet , so. it seems like it might squeeze in . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — you 'd squeeze it in there a little . Mrs . Kratil - We ' d have to move the shed because we ' d have side doors to get lawnmowers and tools and all kinds of things out , the shed would have to move in order let the doors fold in to bring access to the . . . Mr . Barney — To the garage ? Mr. Kratil — To the shop area . Mrs . Kratil — To the shop area , yeah . Mr. Frost — to the new building . Would the board consider something close to 15 foot , but not 5 foot , that maybe will enable him to get his doors open on the shed ? I don 't know what that number would be , but . . . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — It seems like you would have to lose - I mean the 15 foot is already pretty modest , I mean I think it' s pretty modest considering that its higher than a normal garage . Mr. Barney — We ' re trespassing now from legal to policy , and I know I ' m doing that. If you have a next door neighbor for whom these yard setback requirements are basically designed to protect , and he 's saying I don 't care , I like it where it is there , and there are some difficulties , although not necessarily insurmountable ones , but difficulties in siting it , why not go with the . . . The next door neighbor was` here and concerned about it , then that' s a different story , but your balancing the pros for the one side , the applicant to the detriment of the neighbor , but the neighbor is saying there isn ' t any detriment . 43 TOWN OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 17 , 2004 . APPROVED MINUTES CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — That' s a good point . John is pointing out that the test we are supposed to make is the balance of the benefit to the applicant versus the detriment to the surrounding community , which in this case is obviously the neighbor on that side , and the neighbor is fully in favor of locating it where the neighbor has requested . Mr. Krantz — OK , fine with me . Mr. Barney Do I get to vote now? CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — I think you just did . Alright so do we need to do environmental assessment for just an area variance ? OK , any comments on - it? No , OK . Alright , well I guess that the town attorney convinced us . Mr. Barney — It's your decision . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — I know . OK, I will move to grant the appeal of Edward Kratil requesting variance from the requirements of Article VIII , Sections 806 and 807 of the revised Town of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance ( effective April 1 , 2004 ) , to construct a 1 , 040 ± square foot accessory/garage building with - a loft located at 1151 Danby Road , Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No . 36-2- 18 , Low Density Residential District . Said building will exceed the 15 foot height limit and will be no greater than 22 feet? Are you OK with that? Mr. Kratil - OK . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — Will be no greater in height than 22 feet and will be no closer to the north side? Mr. Kratil — Uh , yes . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — No closer to the north side lot line than 5 feet , , with the finding that the requirements for an area variance has been satisfied and with the condition that the structure be built substantially similar, or substantially as shown on the applicant' s plans and sited as indicated on the applicant' s plans .

The condition of the variances was that the structure be built substantially as shown on the applicant's plans and sited as indicated on the applicant's plans . The garage was approved at .the time with a height of about 22 feet (exceeding the 15 height limit) and a side yard setback of 5 feet (where 15 feet is required ) . The addition would be on the back of the garage and would be 26 feet wide (same width as existing garage) and about 24 +/- feet long (although the plans have not been finalized yet) . The height of the addition would be about 18 feet, 6 inches . This would be a modification of the previously granted variances , and would require an application to the ZBA. I told Mr. Kratil that the deadline for the August 20th meeting is this Friday, July 20th , and that he could get the application materials from Dani or from the web site . He is not sure whether he will have time to have- the plans completed in time to submit on Friday, and I told him that the next meeting would be Sept . 17th . He. wants to do the construction this fall , so he is trying to get the application in by Friday. Dani has the file for the 2004 variances .

The proposal includes constructing a workshop addition to an existing garage/barn. The proposed addition will encroach into the required 15 - foot side yard setback for garages in the LDR zone. The appellant received an area variance from the ZBA in May of 2004 to construct the existing garage/barn with a 5 - foot side yard setback (although the built garage ended up further in from the approved setback line) . Please refer to the enclosed minutes and resolution from that meeting. The appellant now wishes to construct a 624+/- square foot workshop addition to the garage/bam. According to the enclosed site plan, the proposed addition will be located approximately 5+/- feet from the side lot line . As in the previously approved proposal, the Town Code requires a 15 -foot side yard setback for garages in the LDR zone. Therefore, the appellant seeks another area variance to build a garage addition that encroaches into the required side yard setback. According to 6 NYCRR 617 (State Environmental Quality Review Law), area variances for single, two , or three-family residences are considered a Type II Action, as is granting of individual setback and lot line variances . Therefore, the variance does not require an environmental review and determination by the Board .

OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 17 , 2004 APPROVED MINUTES CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — Sorry about that . See you next month . OK , the next appeal is that of Edward Kratil . . . APPEAL of Edward Kratil , Appellant , requesting a variance from the requirements of Article VIII , Sections 806 and 807 of the revised Town of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance ( effective April 1 , 2004) , to construct a 1 , 040 + square foot accessory/garage building with a loft located at 1151 Danby Road , Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No . 36 -2 -18 , Low Density Residential Zone . Said building will exceed the 15 foot height limit and is proposed to have a side yard setback of , 5 + feet. CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — Hi . Mr . Kratil - Edward Kratil , 1151 Danby Road . Mrs . Kratil — And Deborah Kratil , 1151 Danby Road . Mr. Kratil — What we would like to do is provide parking on a daily basis for the two vehicles , as well as shop space in the back to restore an old car as well as some loft space for storage up top , up above . I assure you there is no distillery involved . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — If there was you may want to put it up on the second floor in the back . Mr . Kratil — that may work . We are asking for two variances , one is in height , just to provide us with some extra storage space up above . And the second would be to encroach in the 15-foot side-yard setback required by what is considered a one-story garage . Due to the placement of the house on the site and the siting of the existing gravel driveway , we would like to fit this structure between the property line and out existing shed , so we don ' t have to move it . In addition we would like to keep the roof pitches appropriate to the house that we own , therefore we would need the additional variance for the height . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — I stopped by your home today and looked out back and I have to say I don 't really have a problem with the height , but I do find it hard to believe that you can 't situate it reasonably on the lot such that it doesn ' t encroach on the 40 foot or close to a 40 foot setback . I mean , is there a reason why you ' re trying to retain the existing shed in particular. It seems pretty small compared to what you ' re building . Mr. Kratil — It is . I think that ' s probably the best spot for the garage , because it is a straight shot off the gravel roundabout that exists now . If we were to remove the existing shed , we would lose a lot more green space that you can see right from the back of the house . 39 TOWN OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 17, 2004 APPROVED MINUTES CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — I mean I appreciate your feeling that that maybe the best spot for the new structure from your point of view, but on the other, hand -.you have a fairly large lot , you do have some considerable flexibility as to where you . can place it , and at least as far as I can see it would seem, still pretty reasonable 51 . to basically put it where the shed is now , and one of the findings we need to make when we grant a variance is that there is no reasonable alternative other than getting the variance to achieve what the applicant wants to achieve , and in this case I would have a hard time making that finding since , you know `it would be pretty easy for you to move it over, and if it were set back say partly; I mean , either location you would put it , I assume you would take out some trees , sort of . set it back into the woods a little bit. Mr. Kratil — There are two remaining trees that would need to be removed . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK , so I mean setting it back a little farther into the wooded area or moving it over .some , I don 't really see a significant difficulty in that . That's just my feeling , I ' ll let other board members . Mr. Krantz — I concur with your conclusion . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK . Mr . Ellsworth = I agree . I don 't think it has to be 40 feet necessarily . Mr. Kratil — The existing shed is 43 feet from the property line . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — Yeah . Mr. Kratil — Which would put I guess the left side of the garage right about at the left side of the existing shed , that would mean we would have to gravel about 50 feet almost in a diagonal toward the southeast , and that would take up whatever grass we have between the existing maple to be saved there and the large pine trees on the right hand side.. Whereas if we kept it in a straight shot , we would still have some green space back there . Mr . Frost — I mean he shows on his map on the larger site sketch , existing maple tree. to be saved , which kind of pushes the . . . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL SIGEL — Well that' s going to be saved no matter where he puts the Mr . Frost — Well I mean if he ' s ' going to have a driveway in . Are you going to have a driveway into this that' s not shown on this sketch ? Mr . Kratil — Yes , basically it' s going to be a straight , straight shot into the . . . 40 TOWN . OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 17 , 2004 APPROVED MINUTES Mr . Frost — It wouldn 't be a straight shot to the driveway if he has to line it up with the . . . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK , so normally the setback is 40 feet but you ' re allowed 25 feet for the garage , but this exceeds the height for a garage. So you couldn 't put it 15 feet by right. Mr. Frost — But you know the ordinance , and I ' m not so sure the new ordinance clearly addresses this , the old ordinance considers the garage an accessory building and an accessory building can be 3 or 5 feet from the property line , but they specifically say a garage has to be 15 foot , so if he didn't park a car in there he could be 3 feet or 5 feet in this zone . The fact that he puts a car in there . . .` CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — But can an. accessory building be this high ? Mr. Frost - No . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK . Mr. Frost - we still have the height variance . Mr. Kratil — they also have one story garage and a two-story garage , too . Mr. Frost — This is a storage loft , so I , don 't know . In some cases , the building code doesn 't consider a loft or a mezzanine a story , if the loft or mezzanine is no more than a third of the floor area of the space below . Mr. Kratil — There is no intended living space up there . Mr. Frost — I guess what I ' m saying is that if he weren ' t putting a car in there , he ' d be fine with a five foot setback I think in this particular zone . The fact that he' s putting a car in there is making him have to , have an . increased setback and then the height is the height . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — Right , right . Well , if no one else has any comments , maybe we ' ll open the public hearing , see if anyone has any comments before we start to haggle over differences . We ' ll open the public hearing now, if anyone wishes to speak , sir , please . Chairperson Sigel opens the public hearing at 9: 03 p. m. Mr . Yengo — John Yengo . I ' m hear representing my wife who owns the property at 1147 to 1149 Danby Road, lot 36 -2 -2 . 2 . These folks are my neighbors . He 's reviewed his entire plan with both my wife and myself. I couldn 't ask for better 4l TOWN OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 17 , 2004 APPROVED MINUTES neighbors . I couldn 't ask for a better plan . I ' m here to support any decision that he makes in building this facility . The issue as I see it is height , well the trees are about 4 times as tall as he wants to build his garage : So he 's not going to remove them , he 's going to set his garage among them which will certainly enhance the beautiful , the beauty of his 100 year old house that he lives in . He has the personal skills to do this . " CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — for me personally I ' m not so concerned about the height , just about the rather small setback that he proposed from the lot line . Mr. Yengo — Well , I heard you say that you visited the site , and if you walk back there you will see that it is quite wooded . And this is why people buy properties like this . They want the woods to remain , they don 't want to think in terms of tearing down , cutting down trees . So the reason he hasn 't moved in one direction or the other is because of it . And the other thing is , as he perceives it it's a straight line again coming off of Route 96 . 13 . You want a straight line to your garage . You don 't want any curves or anything , because you ' ll never make it in wintertime . But , I just think that the project is done in a professional manner, think that the neighbor who has been there since 1962 , 1 can 't even add it up anymore, doesn 't object . He 's over 200 feet away from his other neighbor. Ithaca College owns everything behind him , so god forbid someday they' re going to come in and emancipate the whole territory , so he' s going to be — he's probably going to be the one who ' s going to suffer with that particular excavate . They own 30 acres behind him . So , why can 't he do what he wants now? CHAIRPERSON SIGEL —. OK , thank you very much for your comments . MR . BARNEY — What's the total height of this building ? Mr . Kratil — I scaled off the builders drawings , and we' re looking at 22 feet . Mr. Barney — 22 feet? That' s all the way to the peak .of the roof? Mr. Kratil — That's correct . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — Anyone else wish to speak? If not , we ' ll close the public hearing . Well , for me personally , given the ringing endorsement of your neighbor there , I would feel comfortable imposing the normal setback for a garage which is only 15 feet which I don 't think would affect your, and depending on how you angle it may require that you move or remove the shed , but I don ' t that would affect the layout . . . Mr . Kratil — That would require the removal of the shed . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK . But I mean otherwise I don 't think it would affect the layout a whole lot as far as the utility of the. structure for you . I don 't know 42 TOWN , OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 17 , 2004 APPROVED MINUTES how others feel . If other board members feel like 15 feet would be a large . enough setback or not . Mr. Krantz — Sure . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — OK . Mr. Krantz — And the height variance . Mr. Barney — I ' m sorry , I didn ' t understand your answer to the question , Mr. Kratil , if you go 15 feet , you would have to remove that shed ? Mr. Kratil — I do believe so , yes . Mr. Smith — The dimensions are right up here — there 's 43 feet between the shed and the property line . If you take the 15 foot setback off of that , you have 28 feet , and the building width is 26 feet , so it seems like it might squeeze in . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — you ' d squeeze it in there a little . Mrs . Kratil — We' d have to move the shed because we ' d have side doors to get lawnmowers and tools and all kinds of things out , the shed would have to move in order let the doors fold in to bring access to the . . . Mr. Barney — To the garage ? Mr. Kratil — To the shop area . Mrs . Kratil - To the shop area , yeah . Mr . Frost — to the new building . Would the board consider something close to 15 foot , but not 5 foot , that maybe will enable him to get his doors open on the shed ? I don 't know what that number would be , but . . . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — It seems like you would have to lose — I mean the 15 foot is already pretty modest , I mean I think it' s pretty modest considering that its higher than a normal garage . Mr. Barney — We ' re trespassing now from legal to policy , and I know I ' m doing that . If you have a next door neighbor for whom these yard setback requirements are basically designed to protect , and he ' s saying I don 't care , I like it where it is there , and there are some difficulties , although not necessarily insurmountable ones , but difficulties in siting it , why not go with the . . 1 The next door neighbor was here and concerned about it , then that' s a different story , but your balancing the pros for the one side , the applicant to the detriment of the neighbor, but the neighbor is saying there isn 't any detriment . 43 TOWN OF ITHACA ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 1712004 APPROVED MINUTES I CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — That's a good point . John is pointing out that the test we are supposed to make is the balance of the benefit to the applicant versus the detriment to the surrounding community , which in this case is obviously the neighbor on that side , and the neighbor is fully in favor of locating it where the neighbor has requested . Mr. Krantz — OK , fine with me . Mr. Barney — Do I get to vote now? CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — I think you just did . Alright so do we need to do environmental assessment for just an area variance ? OK , any comments on it? No , OK . Alright , well I guess that the town attorney convinced us . Mr.. Barney It' s . your decision . CHAIRPERSON SIGEL — I know . OK , I ' will move to grant the appeal of Edward Kratil requesting variance from the requirements of Article VIII , Sections 806 and 807 of the revised Town of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance (effective April 1 , 2004) , to construct a . 1 , 040 ± square foot accessory/garage building with a loft located at 1151 .

Ithaca, New York 14850 ' (607) 273-3829 Kratill @aol.com To the members of the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals, We ask you to consider the issuance of two variances for our proposed building on two interrelated points. The first is the issue of height limitation in a Low Density Residential Zone, Article VIII, Section 806, which indicates a fifteen foot height restriction for accessory buildings other than a barn. Strict observance of the Zoning Ordinance would result in both aesthetic and spacial shortcomings. The existing house on the site was built in 1900 in the late Victorian style, and as is typical for this period, is reflected in pitched roofs and very little in the way of usable storage and shop space . By permitting construction beyond the standard fifteen feet in height, the proposed structure will compliment the existing architecture, adequately shed snow loads by allowing adequate roof pitch, and provide sorely needed- storage above and shop space below. The second is the issue of siting, Article VIII, Section 807, which in this case indicates a forty foot side yard setback with the exception of a one-story garage which can be as close as fifteen. Due to the close proximity of the existing house to the Northerly property line, and the presence of an existing shed and tall pines, it will be impractical to locate the proposed structure in strict observance of the Zoning Ordinance. This will force the proposed structure southward and westward of the requested location; consequently, there are problems with each direction. Southward will necessitate the relocation of the shed, and in the process require the gravel drive to extend well into the usable green space of the back yard. Westward will bring the proposed structure closer to the existing house, consuming usable green space , upsetting the balance of scale between the existing house and the proposed structure, and spoiling our neighbors ' views ; in essence, creating a functionally unusable back yard. Along with the height variance, our proposed solution requires the issuance of an additional variance which allows the structure to encroach on the side yard setback. Siting the proposed structure no less than five feet from the Northerly property line will address each issue mentioned thus far. The shed will not have to be relocated. Access will be straightforward from the existing gravel roundabout. Green space will remain functional and sense of scale will be retained. By grouping the existing shed, the proposed structure and the neighbor' s shed together, they will all share a common functionality, be architecturally appropriate by relating to one another, and views from Danby Road and from our neighbors ' homes will be preserved. Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to moving ahead with this project with your approval. Sincerely, Edward W.

The height variance will provide additional internal usable space and appears to remain within character of the area. A barn in the Low Density Residential zone would be allowed up to 36 ' in height. It does not appear that the side yard variance is necessary, at least to the degree proposed, The property is 2 . 4 +/- acres and it appears that there could be other locations on the property that would meet the setback requirements . If this were a one-story garage, it would require a 15 ` setback. It appears that the garage could be shifted to the south to meet the 15 ' setback, without disturbing the existing shed. C5 . Growth , subsequent development, or related activities likely to be induced bX the proposed action? None Anticipated. C6 . Long term, short term, cumulative, or other effects not identified in C1 -05 ? - None Anticipated. C7 . Other impacts (including hanges 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 III. — 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.
