MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Board Members
FROM: Chris Balestra, Senior Planner
DATE: July 30, 2024
RE: SEQR Lead Agency Declaration of Intent – Maplewood Phase II Project
Enclosed please find materials related to the Maplewood Phase II Project, located on Maple Avenue
between the Maplewood Graduate Student Apartment complex and East Lawn Cemetery. The
proposal involves consolidating four (4) parcels and constructing a community center and six (6) five-
story apartment buildings, containing up to 650 units/800 beds in studio, one bedroom, and two-
bedroom unit configurations. The project will also include integrated amenity/services spaces,
parking areas, trails and pedestrian facilities, open spaces, stormwater facilities, and other site
improvements. Site improvements and amenity spaces include an outdoor terrace, fitness and
wellness spaces, landscaping, and lighting.
The proposed Maplewood II project is located on Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No.’s 63.-2-5, 63.-2-6, and
63.-2-7.1 (currently High Density Residential Zone and Multiple Residence Zone); the project also
includes the adjacent vacant 2.37-acre Tax Parcel No. 63.-2-7.3 (currently a High Density Residential
Zone). The Applicant has applied for a rezoning to a Planned Development Zone (PDZ) under Town
Zoning Code Article XXI: Planned Development Zones and Article XXII: Creation of New Zones,
respectively.
The Planning Board heard a Sketch Plan presentation at the July 2, 2024, Planning Board meeting,
where the applicant team gave an overview of the Maplewood II proposal and heard initial feedback
from the Board. The applicant team subsequently provided updated materials for this Preliminary
Site Plan Review submission to the Planning Board.
The attachments include a Full Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) Part I, along with a revised
narrative, revised site plan drawings, visual assessment, traffic study, an environmental site report,
and a geotechnical report. For those of you that receive hard copies of materials, please save these
materials. They will be applicable during SEQR discussion of any potential environmental impacts
associated with the project. The materials are being provided now to give the Board time to review all
of the reports; however, they are not intended for discussion or analysis at the August 6, 2024,
Planning Board meeting.
The purpose of the August 6th meeting is for the Planning Board to discuss and declare their intent to
be the Lead Agency in the environmental review of the project. If the Board declares themselves the
Lead Agency for the environmental review on August 6th, then the next step in the process is for
2
planning staff to send a Lead Agency concurrence letter (with the EAF and application materials) to all
involved agencies to start the official 30-day timeframe for agencies to respond. Among the
attachments is a draft resolution for the Board to consider that indicates their intent to be the Lead
Agency in the environmental review for the Maplewood Phase II project.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions regarding this proposal by phone at 273-1721,
extension 121, or by email at cbalestra@townithacany.gov.

Thanks, Abby!
One other point regarding a trail to the playing fields: If you want to get those fields from Maplewood, you
have to walk up Mitchell to Pine Tree, then down Pine Tree to Reis Tennis center, then cross Pine Tree
(where there is no pedestrian crossing), and go around Reis. A long and dangerous route. You can also
go southeast on the East Ithaca Rec trail, and then take an overgrown, muddy deer path through dense
brush, but that's not viable as a real route. There really should be a pedestrian-only way to walk from
Mitchell/Maplewood to all the Cornell facilities on Pine tree.
Best wishes,
Rob

Subject: Re: Maplewood Phase II Development
Dear Planning Board,
Can you please encourage/force Cornell to build outdoor recreation facilities – at least basketball
courts and perhaps a soccer field – near its Maplewood development as part of its Maplewood Phase II
project? The Belle Sherman/Bryant Park neighborhood should not have to bear the weight of providing
recreational facilities for what are essentially Cornell dormitories (even if they are taxed). Although
Cornell students can’t be barred from using recreational facilities at Belle Sherman school or from using
our “pocket parks”, ample recent experience has shown that there is no way that Cornell students can
be allowed to co-mingle with our neighborhood children in those spaces in the after-school evenings,
on weekends, or in the summer. The only way to keep that co-mingling to a minimum is to ensure that
Cornell students living in the Maplewood complexes have nearby access to all the recreational facilities
that they demand – either within their housing complexes or on nearby Cornell land. Basketball and
soccer are the most popular outdoor sports for the largely international students that live in the
Maplewood complex. The nearest outdoor Cornell courts are 1.4 miles away on West Campus (a single
court at the Campus Rd.-Stewart Ave intersection) and 1.9 miles away on North Campus (8 courts on
Jessup Rd across from RPU). Cornell has very few general use outdoor playing fields near central
campus and very few indoor courts for a university its size, and they are largely booked by
undergraduates for intramural sports. Cornell’s new field house addresses the needs of the varsity
teams and will have no general use facilities. Note also that most of those living in Maplewood are
graduate students and many/most remain in Ithaca during the summer, so the usual argument about
outdoor facilities not being so useful during the academic year does not apply. Beginning in 2019,
peaking in 2020 and 2021, and continuing until 2023, there was extensive use of the playground
facilities at Belle Sherman by Cornell students, the majority from Maplewood. They would show up in
groups of up to 15, and sometimes completely take over the playground. They often showed no
3
consideration for children or their parents who showed up to play, requiring them to wait until the
students were done playing. Sometimes they showed up with portable speakers blaring expletive laced
hip hop music, and refused to turn the music down. They damaged one of the hoops by hanging on the
rim and net. And during senior week in 2022 someone – most likely Cornell seniors who had made
heavy use of the courts – tried to steal one of the backboards; fortunately the screws were very long and
had friction nuts. Cornell student use has been manageable for the last year, but that is not likely to
continue if 800 more beds and no appropriate rec facilities are added in Maplewood II. Cornell
students in Maplewood I and II will outnumber the number of children in our neighborhood by a factor of
4 or more. I repeat: there is simply no way that college students can or should play side by side with
elementary and middle school students on our school playgrounds, regardless of what the law says. No
parent wants to let their 10 year old daughter play next to a dozen male Cornell students. The best way
to prevent that is to provide the recreational facilities that the Cornell students want close to where they
live, on Cornell-owned property. Cornell owns lots of land east and south of the proposed development
that could be used for construction of courts. They already have large playing fields behind Reis Tennis
Center that are rarely used. However, there are (as far as I’ve been able to find) no walkways or paths
that connect those playing fields to Maplewood I (or II). Adding courts and a connecting trail should be a
priority as part of the development project. I’ve sketched possibilities below.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: Maplewood Phase II – Preliminary Site Plan Review with Town of Ithaca Planning Board
Dear CJ and all,
On behalf of the project team, please find submission materials attached for the Maplewood Phase II
proposed project. We introduced the project to the Planning Board at the July 2nd meeting. With this
submission we request that the Town and SEQR review process begin with the Town’s Declaration
of Intent to Assume Lead Agency at one of the two Planning Board meetings in August. The project
proposes a redevelopment of the former East Hill Apartments with new construction of apartment
units for graduate and professional students at Cornell. This development will be an extension of the
existing Maplewood Phase I site, and it is proposed that a new PDZ be created for Phase II to
include the project area. Residents will share amenities and open spaces with the existing
Maplewood project. Maplewood Phase II proposes approximately 800 new beds, spread among
approximately 650 new units between six new residential buildings and a community center. The
project is accessible from Maple Avenue and via a new street connection from the existing
Maplewood Phase I project. The project team is composed of:
• Greystar Development East, LLC – Sponsor/Developer
• CBT – Architects
• GTS Consulting – Traffic Engineers
• T.G. Miler, P.C. – Project Civil Engineers
• Whitham Planning & Design – Landscape Architects, Approvals & Project

PROJECT NARRATIVE
PLANNING BOARD PRELIMINARY SPR07-19-2024
MAPLEWOOD II
Project Description
Location
The Maplewood Phase II project is located on Maple Avenue in the Town of Ithaca in the East Hill neighbor-
hood, within walking distance of Cornell University, East Hill Plaza, and Collegetown. The project comprises
four Cornell-owned parcels that will be consolidated into a single approximately nine-acre parcel. Immediately
adjacent parcels include Cornell-owned properties used for agricultural research across Maple Avenue to the
north, Maplewood Phase I graduate student housing to the west and south, and the East Lawn Cemetery to
the east. The project also wraps around a City of Ithaca water tank located on Maple Avenue.
Approach
The project is a second phase of the existing Maplewood student housing community and is oriented toward
Cornell graduate students, similar to the residents of the current community. Six five-story buildings are pro-
posed that will house approximately 615 units with 800 beds, primarily studios and one-bedroom apartments
with a small percentage of two-bedroom. Approximately 150 parking spaces are proposed. Greystar, the
operator of Maplewood Phase I, is uniquely positioned to blend Maplewood Phase I and Maplewood Phase II
to create a larger Maplewood neighborhood, a vibrant community of approximately 1,672+ primarily graduate
students. Using feedback from the current residents, Greystar proposes to optimize the connections between
the two Phases, aiming to provide students with high-quality off-campus housing.
The project redevelops a vacant site, within an existing neighborhood with high connectivity that includes bike
paths, accommodations for personal and Bikeshare bikes, sidewalks, easy connections to TCAT bus routes,
and Ithaca CarShare vehicles. With a lower parking ratio for personal vehicles per unit, constructing housing in
this location, within proximity to campus, aids in reducing the number of personal vehicle trips for commuting to
campus for graduate and professional students.
Affordability, Density, and Sustainability
Affordability, Density, and Sustainability are all interconnected in the Maplewood II project. As an overarching
goal, Greystar and Cornell are striving to create a more affordable option for graduate students. Many graduate
students attending the Cornell University Graduate School are on fixed stipends that must cover their living
expenses while completing their degrees. With the project as proposed, the rent per bedroom to students is
contractually obligated to be materially below market rate. The efficient design of five-story buildings allows for
compact and economical construction. This configuration is more sustainable in terms of construction materials
required and future energy consumption. Additionally, fewer buildings leave more of the site as open space,
facilitating the preservation of existing vegetation, and less impact on site permeability. The unit mix has been
carefully tailored as a response to a lack of supply for these units at Maplewood I, further serving as a relief
valve for the local market to increase affordability for the households where it will have the highest impact.
The capital being utilized to fund the development costs is currently identified within an Environmental, Social,
and Governance (ESG) fund, which analyzes investments through a lens of both traditional finance and social
benefits such as increased housing affordability, reduced carbon emissions, and the promotion of sustainable
development trends such as walkability. This unique capital source will serve to ensure that the Project is held
to a higher standard for ESG objectives than the minimum as set forth by government. Additionally, given the
scale at which this capital source operates nationally, the Maplewood II project will benefit from reduced costs
to further ESG objectives than would otherwise be available to traditionally capitalized development projects.
Sustainable elements the project will incorporate:
• Walkability / Transit - the site will connect to multi-modal transit networks (walking paths, biking paths,
bus transit). This project will seamlessly integrate into existing sidewalk networks and connect existing
multi-use trail networks, as further described in ‘Site Design’ below.
• Redevelopment – as a redevelopment site, the project avoids greenfield development conserving farm-
land, floodplains, and natural habitats.
• Materials Selection & Embodied Carbon - source sustainable materials locally, reclaimed or recycled
PLANNING BOARD PRELIMINARY SPR07-19-2024
MAPLEWOOD II
content and/or easily recyclable materials, third-party certified wood when possible.
• Health – the project will use low volatile organic compound (VOC) materials where possible.
• Embodied Carbon - for the largest material purchases, the design team will consider materials with a
low carbon footprint from the extraction, manufacturing, and transport of the material to the site.
• Energy
o The project is 100% electric with no fossil fuel for operational needs for heating and cooling,
which will be accomplished with air source heat pump systems. Domestic hot water will also be
supplied through individual electric hybrid heat pump technology.
o Interior Lighting - high-efficiency, LED lighting in tenant, common, and exterior areas and addi-
tional lighting efficiency strategies will be implemented.
o Daylighting – to promote occupant health and building efficiency the design will include thought-
ful daylight design
o HVAC - all air handling units equipped with economizers where available. Fresh air requirement
is supplied locally into each tenant HVAC unit instead of through the common/corridor HVAC
system.
o Residential cooking electrification – all electric Energystar rated stoves will be utilized.
o Residential clothing electrification - all electric Energystar rated ventless dryers will be utilized.
o Electric Vehicle Charging – EV charging stations will be evenly distributed across the proposed
parking areas. 5% of all the total spaces (3 spaces min.) will be provided on day one. Electrical
infrastructure (equipment and conduits) will be provided for an additional 20% of all total spac-
es (30 spaces total) to be installed as demand requires. Residents will also have the ability to
charge e-bikes and e-scooters in a centralized bike storage facility.
o Renewable Energy - On-Site Solar - the project will include designated roof areas for future
solar panels. Conduits to the main electrical rooms will be provided on day one.
• Water Conservation - plumbing fixtures that meet or exceed EPA WaterSense specifications.
• Landscape Design & Biodiversity
o Native and Drought Tolerant - landscaping will consist of primarily native plantings adapted to
local conditions that do not require irrigation.
o Biodiversity- the site design preserves native vegetation where possible and will improve the
original biodiversity of the site.
o Selections for plantings will use locally appropriate varieties to provide pollinator habitat and
draw upon known tree species growing in this area, including the Recommended Urban Street
Tree resources for areas where trees are proposed adjacent to streets. Tree plantings will help
reduce the effects of the urban heat island by locating shade trees over paved parking areas.
o Meadow plant communities will be selected that grow in our community as informed by the
Guide to the Plant Communities of the Finger Lakes and many other Cornell resources. The
meadows proposed will be infrequently mown requiring significantly less mowing and mainte-
nance than lawns. Meadow also provides habitat for insects, ground-nesting birds and reptiles,
and small mammals.
o Where possible, on-site soil will be stockpiled and re-used with amendments for plant health.
o Site Design will provide outdoor amenities such as seating, plantings, walking paths, and com-
munal greenspace to improve resident wellbeing.
o Exterior lighting – will consist of energy-efficient, dark sky-compliant LED fixtures, the same or
similar ones used in Maplewood I with advancements made in efficiency that have been imple-
mented since its construction.
• Stormwater – the project will incorporate permanent storm water management practices to attenuate
changes in peak flows and provide treatment of runoff from impervious surfaces.
• Waste Management
o Waste Diversion - Construction waste diversion measures will be in place.
o Site Recycling - easy-to-access recycling stations will be included.
Zoning
Planned Development Zone
Greystar, in collaboration with Cornell, is requesting to rezone the site as a Planned Development Zone (PDZ)
that will function as a higher-density neighborhood, building on the first phase of the Maplewood graduate
PLANNING BOARD PRELIMINARY SPR07-19-2024
MAPLEWOOD II
student housing community. While distinct from the adjacent Maplewood Phase I PDZ (PDZ No. 15), this new
PDZ will address the unique constraints/opportunities of the site while embracing the compact, walkable com-
munity character embodied in PDZ No. 15.
Conformance with Town of Ithaca Planning Initiatives
Maplewood Phase II is located at the site of the former Maple Hill apartment complex and is ideally situated for
redevelopment as a dense residential student housing neighborhood. The 2014 Comprehensive Plan outlines
a series of critiques of the then current development patterns in the Town and actions that might be taken for
improvement, among them mixed-use neighborhoods. Mixed-use is a laudable goal but with current trends
away from brick-and-mortar retail services and restaurants in Collegetown struggling, the more immediate
need is for housing and with it a population that can support existing businesses.
The Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan (2014) proposes this site as a development node, and the Future
Land Use Plan (2014) identifies it as a TND High-Density area. While not a TND mixed-use neighborhood, the
development of this site at the proposed density aligns with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan, in which surveys
and comments revealed support for denser development overall. The Plan’s goal of establishing ‘more inten-
sively developed mixed-use neighborhood centers near large employers on East Hill’ aligns directly with the
aims of this project, which seeks to increase student housing density on East Hill, close to Cornell with easy
access to mixed-use areas in Collegetown and East Hill Plaza. Furthermore, the development proposed by
this project would be ‘compatible with the established character and scale of development,’ as stipulated by
the Comprehensive Plan. The first phase of the Maplewood project, adjacent to this site, laid the groundwork
for the scale and density of student housing here, which this second phase would supplement. The existence
of infrastructure and services on this site further recommend it for increased density following the guidelines of
the Comprehensive Plan, and its proximity to Cornell makes it eminently attractive to the prospective student
population.
The Tompkins County Housing Strategy report (2017) called for purpose-built student housing such as that
proposed for this project. The Housing Strategy report recommended the construction of beds for 25% of the
total student population of the County, of which the current housing stock can accommodate less than 10%.
The Tompkins County Housing Targets for 2016-2025 include the goal of meeting the existing deficit of pur-
pose-built student beds, further stating that student housing is expected to require more beds than non-stu-
dents in Tompkins County in the coming years when accounting for the growth of Cornell and Ithaca College.
The Housing Strategy further recommends locating student housing within urban centers where students do
not require personal vehicles to access their campuses. This site is ideally situated for use as student housing,
as it lies on an existing public transit route and is a short walk from the Cornell campus.
Outreach
The project team has begun outreach with various project stakeholders and interest groups, including neigh-
borhood associations (including the Belle Sherman neighborhood), the Belle Sherman School, elected officials,
and construction trades groups. A public informational meeting will be held in the coming months. In the fall
when students return, outreach will include current Cornell graduate and professional students and residents of
Maplewood Phase I.
Schedule
The project team has coordinated with the Town of Ithaca Planning Dept. to prepare a municipal approvals
schedule to accommodate the necessary Site Plan Review, SEQR, and Re-Zoning processes. A detailed proj-
ect schedule chart is attached for reference.
The following scheduled summary is anticipated:
• 10 months to complete Site Plan Review and SEQR
• 20 months construction period
• Move in August 2027
As with any project of this size, the times, dates, and durations shown here should be considered approximate,
and subject to the review process.
PLANNING BOARD PRELIMINARY SPR07-19-2024
MAPLEWOOD II
Site Plan and Environmental Review
The following outlines some of the areas that are subject to environmental review:
• Traffic Analysis and Traffic Demand Management – The project location is appealing to students who
do not own cars. Many, especially international students, rely on alternative modes of transportation
including public transit, biking, and walking. One of TCAT most popular bus routes is located on Maple
Avenue. A low parking ratio is proposed due to the walkable nature of the site and the public transporta-
tion available.
Parking ratios
o Phase 2 only = 615 units with approximately 150 spaces = ~.24 ratio
o Phase 1+Phase 2 combined = 1059 units with approximately 494 spaces = ~.47 ratio
Many students who do own cars don’t use them daily; therefore, off-site storage parking is being con-
sidered. A traffic study to consider the impacts of the project on nearby intersections and streets has
been undertaken by GTS Consulting. Traffic counts conducted in April of 2024 show that traffic generat-
ed by the first phase of Maplewood is significantly lower than anticipated. In collaboration with Whitham
Planning & Design, a TDM has been developed. TCAT, Ithaca Carshare, and Ithaca Bikeshare have
been consulted regarding their participation in an on-site presence. The conversations have been posi-
tive.
The study concludes that the additional traffic generated by the proposed Maplewood II will have no
significant impact on traffic operations in the area. It is anticipated to be a minor traffic generator, con-
sistent with the existing Maplewood development. There are sufficient gaps in traffic to accommodate
the additional traffic turning into and out of the development, good sight lines, no significant accident
history in proximity to the development, and no traffic capacity concerns. The study suggests that de-
velopment should continue to implement TDM strategies consistent with the existing development and
continue to look for additional opportunities to promote alternative modes of transportation. There are
no mitigation measures recommended.
• Visual Impact Assessment – The project team has met with Town staff to discuss selected locations
for simulated views and areas of potential sensitivity including designated scenic vistas. The locations
selected were deemed to have the greatest potential for visual impact. A study of the nearest identified
scenic vista at Pine Tree Road and Snyder Hill Road concludes that the project will not be visible from
this location. The greatest visual changes from public locations will occur on Maple Avenue. Views are
provided looking towards the project from Maplewood I, looking west on Maple Avenue, looking south
across Maple Avenue at the proposed crosswalk from the East Hill Recreation Way, from Maple Avenue
towards the water tower, and towards the east on Maple Avenue. Interior views of Maplewood II are
also provided.
These views depict visual changes that are compatible with the existing residential and campus uses in
the vicinity of the project.
• Energy - The project will comply with the Ithaca Energy Code Supplement (IECS).
IECS Compliance Summary –
o The project will meet the requirements of the Ithaca Energy Code Supplement (IECS), 144-5,
2020 Mechanical Code of New York State, 2020 Energy Conservation Code of New York State,
and NEEP. There are multiple pathways to comply with this code; it is anticipated that this proj-
ect will meet the requirements of the Prescriptive Compliance Path.
o Per IECS §R504.1, as of January 01, 2023, the prescriptive compliance pathway requires the
achievement of a minimum of twelve (12) points as laid out in §R504.4. The proponent antici-
pates meeting the requirements as follows:
o EE1, Heat pumps for space heating: Six (6) points achieved via the use of cold-climate, air-
source variable-refrigerant flow units.
o EE2, Heat pumps for domestic water heating: Two (2) points achieved via individual heat pump
PLANNING BOARD PRELIMINARY SPR07-19-2024
MAPLEWOOD II
water heaters.
o EE4, Residential cooking, and clothes drying electrification: Two (2) points achieved via the use
of electric stoves and ventless dryers
o AI1, Smaller building/room size: One (1) point achieved via standard rooms falling below the
thresholds set by IECS.
o OP1, Development density: One (1) point achieved via sufficient level of density (units/acre)
within the development.
o Additionally, the building will be held to the NY State Energy Conservation Code for all envelope
assembly requirements under the Commercial Code Section.
• Fire Department and Emergency Vehicle Access – An initial meeting was held with the Town Code
Enforcement Officer to discuss issues of potential concern, and additional meetings to discuss the site
plan-related access for firefighting will be needed. The project site is most readily accessible via the
loop located along Maple Avenue with secondary access from Mitchell Street. The height of the build-
ings and the construction type will require aerial apparatus access. A second meeting was held with IFD
Chief Covert and Code Enforcement Director of Code Enforcement & Zoning Marty Moseley. Details of
hose length and standpipes are under discussion. It is understood that approval of adequate access is
required for the project.
• Utility infrastructure – T.G. Miller is the lead engineer for the project and has been working with Town
staff to develop utility plans for the project. Water for domestic and fire protection services will be
connected to the Maplewood Phase I private system at two locations with mains extended within the
project to create a distribution loop. This configuration will allow for the existing master meter and
backflow preventer servicing Maplewood Phase I to also be used for Phase II. Greystar currently has
an interest in Phase I and will develop an agreement to ensure this relationship survives in perpetuity.
In-field fire hydrant flow testing of the Town’s Mitchell Street water main and the privately owned mains
within Maplewood Phase I are being coordinated with the Town and Bolton Point. Results of this testing
will be used to update the computer-aided hydraulic modeling will be performed to inform the need for
any domestic or fire suppression booster pumps. No new connections to the Town’s water system are
proposed. Sanitary sewer service will be connected along the western property boundary to the existing
Town sewer main which extends through the Maplewood Phase I site from Mitchell Street. To make the
connection, the final segment of Town main within Maplewood Phase 1 may be replaced in the same
horizontal alignment but adjusted vertically to accommodate the pipe inverting depths needed for the
proposed private sewer main extensions. At this time, it is anticipated that all new sewer mains con-
structed within the project will remain private. Referencing the utility analysis performed for Maplewood
Phase I, it is expected there is adequate treatment capacity in the Ithaca Area Waste Water Treatment
Facility (IAWWTF) to serve the project. This will be confirmed with a ‘will serve’ request to be submitted
to the IAWWTF. The previous Phase I analysis also established that there is sufficient capacity in the
downstream jointly owned interceptor sewer system. Maple Hill Apartments was a Town Sewer custom-
er, so an updated assessment of the capacity impacts will be based on the differential in pre-post bed
counts.
• Storm Water Management - Considerable hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of watersheds upstream of
the Maplewood site, including the former Maple Hill Apartments parcel, was completed for the 2017 Ma-
plewood Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP). In addition to fulfilling the traditional storm-
water requirements of the Town and NYSDEC, the layout of new storm sewers and sizing of permanent
water quality/quantity practices in this project will respect the capacities of the downstream facilities
within Maplewood Phase I, which ultimately connect to the Town’s system on Mitchell Street. T.G. Miller
will meet with the Town Engineer to revisit the facility designs for Maplewood Phase 1 and, prior to for-
mal submission, review a draft SWPPP for conformance with confirm the Town’s and NYSDEC design
requirements for this redevelopment project.
• Cultural Resources – The State Historic Preservation Office was contacted regarding any concerns
that might be present for archaeological and historical resources. They expressed no concerns with the
Maplewood II site but suggested a protection plan for the Mitchell Family Cemetery, located on the Ma-
PLANNING BOARD PRELIMINARY SPR07-19-2024
MAPLEWOOD II
plewood I site, if construction activities will take place within 90’ of the cemetery. A temporary protection
fence for the cemetery will be installed.
Site Design
Situated just south of Cornell’s campus, with groves of existing native vegetation on the site, the landscape at
Maplewood Phase II is inspired by the rolling hills and character of the surrounding landscape. The buildings
are organized around both the existing woodland and a generously scaled central landscape of rolling mead-
ows and gathering lawns. With the major exterior spaces well-defined, the buildings strive to engage seamless-
ly with the landscape. Six five-story buildings will be oriented to maximize distant views across the cemetery to
the east, towards Cornell to the north, and hills south and west of the Site. Buildings will open outward towards
Phase I and Maple Avenue.
The landscape character of Maplewood Phase II will differ from Maplewood Phase I but will be just as robust.
The design will be less gardenesque and more campus inspired. Where the plantings of Maplewood Phase I
are sympathetic to an urban neighborhood character, Maplewood Phase II is proposed to be more open and
expansive. The majority of the site (approximately 58%) will be devoted to landscape, paths, and outdoor
recreation, with approximately 42% covered by building footprints and parking. The site design proposes large
areas of meadow and native trees, with smaller areas of lawn to allow gathering and casual enjoyment of open
spaces. The streetscape along Maple Avenue will be extended to the extent of the property and will include a
sidewalk and street trees.
Prioritizing the pedestrian experience is a core guiding principle for the project. Maplewood II establishes key
pedestrian and bicycle connections not only within the confines of the site but to the greater trail networks
beyond. Accessible where possible, barrier-free pathways throughout the site ensure that pedestrians of all
mobility levels have equitable access to all areas of the community while vehicle parking is deemphasized and
located along the less active edges of the property. The site plan maximizes the amount of green space by
preserving existing trees and woodland areas, adding bio-diverse meadows, and locating open lawn areas for
social interactions. The building positions reinforce the landscape approach by encouraging porosity between
the two phases. The most active of these spaces will be the terrace adjacent to the new Community Center,
which is intentionally located proximate to the existing Maplewood I Community Center. Combined, the two
Community Centers will be the “social heart” of the Maplewood community.
All parts of Maplewood are connected by a network of accessible paths where possible and a central acces-
sible multi-use trail which the public will be invited to use, connecting to the wider network of hiking and biking
trails in the area. Students will be able to relax, study, or gather in the open air close to each building, or walk
to the Community Center, where a large outdoor terrace, movable furniture, and attractive lighting will ensure
that there is always something going on throughout the day and the year. Stormwater wetlands integrated with
the topography will further enhance the sustainability of the project and contribute an extra dimension to habitat
diversity. The native plant communities of woodland and meadow will create an ecologically rich and low-main-
tenance landscape that will attract wildlife and contribute to the environmental value of the project.
Shared Open Space
The existing Maplewood Phase I apartment complex is separated from the Maplewood Phase II site by a
sloped area along its eastern edge that is currently heavily wooded and has minimal landscape improvement.
The team identified this area as an opportunity to weave together the two sites and create a seamless neigh-
borhood. Existing topography and mature trees will be preserved to the greatest extent possible while introduc-
ing clear, inviting, and, where possible, accessible pathways through the natural landscape.
Multi-Use Trail Network
The East Hill Recreation Way has an existing spur that ends on the northeast corner of the site at Maple Ave,
and a converted rails-to trails pathway that runs along the southwest side of Maplewood Phase I. The design is
organized around completing the vital link between these two sections of the existing trail network, which offers
car-free recreation and commuting options for residents of the Maplewood I and II site and to the surrounding
neighborhoods within the Town and beyond. An improved crosswalk on Maple Ave is proposed. The team will
work with the Town of Ithaca on the configuration of the crossing, which may be raised and/or include flashing
beacons. The details for the crosswalk design will be developed in coordination with the Town of Ithaca staff
PLANNING BOARD PRELIMINARY SPR07-19-2024
MAPLEWOOD II
and the design team.
Signage
No signs are proposed at this time except for standard traffic control signs, which the locations and types will
be coordinated with the Town Engineering and Department of Public Works.
Architecture
Building Concept
The seven buildings in Maplewood Phase II are organized around connections to the East Ithaca Trail Net-
work and maximizing interactions between Phase I and Phase II residents. Active and passive open spaces
form around these major connections and a campus-like space prioritizes the pedestrian experience. Building
entries and study lounges are located in the middle of each building to promote interaction where residents will
circulate frequently. The architecture and landscape will seamlessly blend to reinforce connectivity and commu-
nity.
Community Centers as Social Nucleus
The primary community space is located at the southern end of the site directly across from the Phase I Com-
munity Center. The new Community Center is nestled into the landscape as close to Phase I as possible to
allow for maximum connections between the two community spaces. The programs in the new Community
Center will complement and supplement the programs in Phase I. By combining the Community Centers, a
social heart for the entire community is established.
Graduate students want to be part of a vibrant community, rich with neighborly social interaction and balanced
with independent apartment-style living. The team recognizes the generous communal offerings at Maplewood
Phase I and offers a complimentary, differentiated amenity package in Phase II. Shared, diversified features
offer benefits to both Phase I and Phase II residents, sparking renewed interest and uniting the Maplewood
community. The majority of community amenities are planned within a centralized hub to maximize social op-
portunities.
A study lounge will be provided on almost every floor of each building, for a total of approximately 52, to sup-
plement private in-unit workspace. A survey of Maplewood Phase I residents ranked group study spaces as the
most imperative and desirable amenity, prioritizing academic success. Providing a variety of seating and room
options, such as acoustically controlled office-style pods, open booths, and communal tables allows students
to choose spaces that support an array of assignments, work styles, collaboration, and moods.
The resident survey also revealed great interest in larger fitness accommodations with a wellness focus, pro-
viding specialty equipment and semi-private spaces for personalized and restorative workouts. Coffee and food
naturally encourage conversation and exchange. A centralized café commons where students can mingle and
gather over a meal or snack enriches the community culture. In combination with an outdoor terrace retreat,
the inclusion of comfortable lounge seating, games, and dining tables is welcoming and entertaining for events,
indoor/outdoor living, and daily relaxation. To respond to high rates of pet and bike ownership, a pet spa in
Phase II complements the popular dog park provided in Phase I, and a bike workshop that offers repair capa-
bilities. Pet and bike-focused amenities identify a micro-community for owners, as well as providing superlative
care and convenience. A playground for families or guests with children is provided at Maplewood I as well.
Material Palette
The facade design implements strategies to relate the new buildings with the scale of the Phase I residences,
with multiple tones and textures, building offsets, and window groupings. Materials will consist of stone mason-
ry veneer walls and landscape elements where the buildings meet the ground. The stone will be set in a recti-
linear ashlar pattern that reflects the linear quality of the native bluestone found throughout the Ithaca area and
in its gorges.
Upper floors will be clad in durable fiber cement board in a vertical orientation with intermittent battens. The
boards will be painted in lighter warm tones to reflect the colors of nature and will be accented with trim in a
variety of colors and widths. All residential units will have operable punched windows while study lounges and
PLANNING BOARD PRELIMINARY SPR07-19-2024
MAPLEWOOD II
other amenity spaces will include larger expanses of storefront glass to maximize views, daylight, and con-
nection with the outdoors. These larger expanses which might be more likely to cause bird strikes will utilize
bird-friendly glass.
The community center building will complement the residential buildings and utilize similar materials but with a
more vibrant palette of red-brown natural earth inspired colors. This building will have glass storefront windows
surrounding its largest interior gathering space and exposed mass timber construction.
Building Envelope
The building envelope will be designed to meet current energy code requirements with an emphasis on high
thermal performance, airtightness, increased ventilation rates, and energy recovery. Materials will also be
chosen to reduce environmental impact during their entire life cycle from extraction to deconstruction/recycling/
upcycling, thus reducing the embodied carbon along with the operational carbon impact. All roofs will be flat
except for the community center. Roofs will have high levels of insulation and light-colored surfaces to return a
large part of the sun’s rays to the atmosphere (high albedo).
Superstructure
The superstructure will be primarily 5 levels of panelized light wood frame construction. Due to the significant
topography of the site, some buildings will include a partial basement level and/or split level as the site steps.
Substructure
The basis of design for the foundation systems is slab-on-grade with footings.
Conclusion
The Maplewood Phase II project will bring much-needed graduate student housing to a neighborhood targeted
by the Town of Ithaca for more dense development. The Greystar team is committed to continuing to provide
high-quality, affordable, and sustainable housing to the Cornell and Ithaca communities and looks forward to
discussing the project with the Town of Ithaca Board, the Town of Ithaca Planning Board, and the neighboring
community.

Maplewood II Public Outreach Plan
July 17th, 2024
Public Outreach Plan Purpose and Objectives:
Our proposal for Maplewood Phase II will focus on creating greater density while also enhancing the open
space network within and surrounding the site. This approach creates greater connectivity between the project
site and the surrounding trail network and encourages alternative multimodal transportation, such as TCAT,
bicycles, and car sharing. The project would increase the housing stock of Cornell and the Town of Ithaca,
helping to mitigate the current shortage and demands for housing. By taking advantage of the existing infra-
structure provided by the site, the project would not only create a more livable and connected development but
also help prevent sprawl from continuing to occur on the periphery of the Town.
A key element of this project is a well-informed public that actively contributes to and benefits from our initia-
tives. As you are aware, public participation and outreach are critical for success at the planning stage and for
fostering continued engagement with the local community. This Public Outreach Plan will provide an effective
model for communication between the public and our team. Individual meetings, group meetings, and open
communication lines will ensure that accurate information is conveyed promptly to stakeholders and that all
participating parties have been properly involved in or made aware of the planning and design process.
We will engage with the community to ensure a harmonious development process by:
1. Offering community leaders and stakeholders individual or small group updates on project goals and
progress.
2. Working with local and regional media to ensure that a full and accurate narrative of the project is in the
public eye.
The following have been identified by our team and/or Town of Ithaca staff as important stakeholders to en-
gage:
1. Stakeholders to Engage for Individual Meetings
