MEETING OF THE ITHACA TOWN BOARD
October 7, 2024
TB Resolution 2024 - XXX: Authorization for the Town Engineer to Issue a Sewer
Exemption for 174 all Road
Whereas the Town Engineer received a request for a Sewer Exemption from George Sheldrake,
owner of 174 Calkins Road, indicating there is no access to town sewer and identifying the
difficulties associated with connecting to municipal sewer due to the nearest sewer main(s) being
approximately 2260+/- feet away, which would require a main extension at an estimated cost of
$452,000, as well as easement acquisition from the neighboring parcel, and
Whereas the Tompkins County Health Department is designing plans for a replacement septic
system for the failing system for the existing home, now therefore be it
Resolved, pursuant to Town Code Section 214-6, the Town Board finds the applicant has shown
unusual and extreme practical difficulties in connecting to municipal sewer for the reasons
conveyed by town staff and the reasons detailed in the request for a sewer exemption submitted
to the Town Engineer, dated September 26th, 2024, and be it further
Resolved, that the Town Board authorizes the Town Engineer to issue an exemption from Town
Code Section 214-5 Connection required, for 174 Calkins Road, for the installation of a new,
onsite wastewater treatment system associated with the existing single-family residence, subject
to the consent of the Tompkins County Health Department.

Town of Ithaca Public works
114 Seven Mile Drive
Ithaca, NY 14850
RE: Request for Severer Exemption for Single Family home on 174 Calkins Rd Ithaca IVY 14850
Dear Mr. O'Shea,
We are requesting a sewer exemption for the Property located at 174 Calkins Road,
Ithaca, Y 14850 owned by George Sheldrake, Tax. i" asp Parcel No 31- -10. The residential
home was built in the 1 ffs and the current system is failing with drainage rising to the surface
.5
of our lawn. we will be eether performing the work or having a private contractor perform the
,work. The County Health Department is providing the plan for the replacement system.
Currently the Town of Ithaca sewer system does not service this property. The Municipal sewer
system is approximately 2260 linear feet from 174 Calkins Rd and would require an easement
through the neighboring parcel. 174 Calkins Rd would be the: only home using the municipal
sewer system if it were to be extended. The area around 174 Calkins Rd is mostly agriculture
and a small amount of low density residential.
In addition to this, the cost of constructing over 2260 _feet of new severer lime to service
one home with a very low probability of servicing any other future homes would be extreme at
approximately $200/ft. or 452,000.
replacement system is under design and will be permitted through the Tompkins
County Health Department. There is plenty of room for the replacement system and the
contours of the property work very well for a gravity fed septic system.
f
Respectfully ,
George Sheldrake

Draft for P&O and ERC 8.2024
PAID PRENATAL LEAVE POLICY-.
As part of our family -friendly policies and benefits, Town/Commission/Consortium supports
employees by accommodating those who need to take time away during the workday to
attend prenatal medical appointments. NYS amended the NYS Labor Law S196-B (NYS
Paid Sick Leave law), requiring all NYS employers to provide 20 hours of paid prenatal
personal leave per 52-wed period. This policy is mandatory for private sector employers but
is optional for public sector employers.
The Town/Commission/Consortium supports extending this policy to the employees as it
aligns with the employer's family friendly initiative and is complementary to the existing
Federal Family Medical Leave Act {FMLA.) Paid Prenatal Leave is time off in addition to paid
sick leave and paid personal leave. This paid prenatal leave can be used to attend
prenatal medical appointments and procedures.
Eligibility:
0 Both part-time and full-time employees are eligible (seasonal/ temporary
employees are not eligible.)
0 Eligibility is effective date of hire.
0 Employees qualify for prenatal leave as the person pregnant or the spouse
partner of the person pregnant.
40 Approval for all requests for prenatal leave will be without discrimination against
employees for any reason, without disclosure of confidential information relating
to medical condition, and without retaliation for requesting or taking such leave.
Provides:
0 Twenty (20) hours of paid leave in a 52-week period, with no restrictions as to the
number of times an employee may utilize the leave during their employment.
0 Paid leave is to attend health care services during the pregnancy or related to such
pregnancy, including physical examinations, medical procedures monitoring and
testing and discussions with a health care provider related to the pregnancy.
0 Leave is paid in hourly increments without the need to use any vacation, sick or
personal time.
0 While using paid prenatal personal leave, the employees' position, regular pay and
benefits will be maintained.
Requirements:
* Employees must submit time off requests to their supervisor under the same
guidelines as any other paid leave time off request.
0 Leave will be coded as "Other -Prenatal" time on timesheets.
0 Any unused paid prenatal leave will not be paid out at any time.
0 Employees are eligible to request additional leave through the Federal Family
Medical Leave Act.
Town/Commission/Consortium will not discriminate in any way against an employee who
chooses to utilize this leave. Anyone encouraging or allowing a work environment that is
hostile to the right of an expecting parent could constitute discrimination and will be held
accountable for such actions.

Introduction
The Maplewood 11 Planned Development (PD) Zone enables and guides the redevelopment of the Maplewood
Phase 11 housing complex, and its underlying site, into a compact, walkable community. This §271-18 uses a
form -based zoning approach with objective yet flexible standards, to provide clarity and certainty about site
planning and the resulting built environment.
The project envisions a high -density housing type with a community center and potential future neighborhood
commercial use. Planned Development Zone No. 15 (Maplewood Phase 1, §271-15) consists of both medium
and high -density zones. Phase 11 will function as an additional high -density zone within the overall Maplewood
community. Maplewood Phase 11 will connect to Phase 1 3 s grid of streets with a continuation of Lena Street.
The Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan recommends focusing on new residential development in areas near major
employment centers, walkable to nearby destinations, and near the City of Ithaca boundary. Maplewood 11 is located on
an approximately 9-acre infill site entirely within the Town of Ithaca, and approximately 400 feet from the City of Ithaca
boundary. The project is near the Cornell University campus, about 1.2 miles east of downtown Ithaca, and within a 10
to 0-minute walk of both East Hill Plaza and the center of Collegetown. The Comprehensive Plan also recommends
denser mixed -use traditional neighborhood development between Mitchell Street and Maple Avenue, including the
Maplewood site.
2171-18.1 Transect Sub one
* A transect subzone defines parts of the larger site that will have certain physical
and functional characteristics. Maplewood Phase I and Maplewood Phase 11
constitute sulazones of the larger Maplewood community. There are two transect
sub ones in PDZ 15 of Maplewood Phase I and one subzone in the PDZ 17
Maplewood Phase 11 site area. Figure 1 is an illustrative example of the transect
subzone locations and allocation for Maplewood I P15 (approved) and Maplewood 11
P1 7.Figure 1 : Example of transect subzone location and allocation.
