Whereas, over many years, staff from the Town of Ithaca Planning and Code Enforcement
Departments,along with the Attorney for the Town,have identified Town Sign Law provisions that are in
need of revision and/or updating, and
Whereas, the Town Board has recognized the importance of revising the Sign Law, in order to
ensure that the law is content-neutral, consistent with other laws of the Town and updated to reflect new
sign technology; and has worked collaboratively and over many years with the Codes and Ordinances
Committee to draft a comprehensive and effective law, and
Whereas, during the many discussions regarding the Sign Law, the Codes and Ordinances
Committee also discussed regulating art murals, finding that art murals were not signs and therefore
required their own regulation, and
Whereas,at its August 12,2015 meeting,the Codes and Ordinances Committee finalized an initial
draft of the Sign Law and referred said law to the Town Board for consideration, and
Whereas, at its meeting on October 19, 2015, the Town Board referred the proposed local law
related to Signs to the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Conservation Board and Agricultural
Committee, for their review and recommendations, and
Whereas, the Town received numerous comments on the draft law that were reviewed and
discussed at meetings of the Codes and Ordinances Committee in 2016 and 2017, which resulted in a
revised local law related to Signs that the Codes and Ordinances Committee referred to the Town Board at
its January 11, 2017 meeting, and
Whereas, during that same period of time,the Codes and Ordinances Committee reviewed a draft
local law related to Art Murals,which was also referred to the Town Board at its January 11,2017 meeting;
and the Attorney for the Town drafted a local law that would cross-reference the new Code location of
relevant sign provisions; and
Whereas,the Town Supervisor,Town staff and the Attorney for the Town thereafter met a number
of times to prepare the next version of the laws, and
1
Whereas,at its meeting on May 8,2017,the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca reviewed,discussed
and further revised the proposed local laws and adopted a resolution for a public hearing to be held by said
Town Board on June 12,2017 at 5:30 p.m. to hear all interested parties on the proposed local laws entitled
L "A Local Law Revising The Town of Ithaca's Sign Provisions By Deleting Town of Ithaca
Code Chapter 221, "Signs," and By Adding Sign Provisions To And Revising Town Code
Chapter 270, "Zoning,"And Chapter 271, "Zoning: Special Land Use Districts;"
2. A Local Law Adding Art Mural Provisions To Town Code Chapter 270, "Zoning;" and
3. A Local Law Conforming Sign Requirements References In Town of Ithaca Code Chapter
125,`Building Construction And Fire Prevention,"And Chapter 173,"Lighting,Outdoor,"
and
4. "A Local Law Deleting Chapter 192 of the Town of Ithaca Code, "Numbering of Buildings"
Whereas, notice of said public hearing was duly advertised in the Ithaca Journal; and
Whereas, said public hearing was duly held on said date and time at the Town Hall of the Town of
Ithaca and all parties in attendance were permitted an opportunity to speak on behalf of or in opposition to
said proposed local laws, or any part thereof, and
Whereas,pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act("SEQRA")and its
implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, adoption of said local laws is a Type I Action for which
the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca, acting as lead agency in an environmental review with respect to
adoption of these local laws, on June 12, 2017, made a negative determination of environmental
significance, after having reviewed and accepted as adequate the Full Environmental Assessment Form
Parts 1, 2 and 3; and
Whereas,the Town Board made additional changes to the proposed Art Mural Provisions local law
and held an additional public hearing on August 7, 2017,
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved,that the Town of Ithaca Town Board hereby(1)determines that the above-referenced additional
changes to the proposed Art Mural Provisions local law,which changes restrict art murals to certain zoning
districts, are minor and have no negative impact on the environment, and (2) reaffirms the negative
determination of environmental significance in accordance with Article 8 of the Environmental
Conservation Law and 6NYCRR Part 617 New York State Environmental Quality Review for the above
referenced actions as proposed,based on the information in the EAF Part 1 and for the reasons set forth in
the EAF Parts 2 and 3, and, therefore, a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be required, and
Resolved, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby adopts:

14
Discussion draft for 05/08/17 'frown Board ineeting
(b) The Town shall present the landowner with a bill for all costs and expenses incurred by the Town
in connection with the sign removal. If the landowner shall fail to pay such costs and expenses
within 15 days after the demand for same, or within 30 days of the final decision on any
administrative or judicial contest the landowner may pursue, then such unpaid costs, expenses and
interest(at the statutory interest rate for money judgments in New York State courts)incurred
from the date of the sign removal shall constitute a lien upon the land on which such removal was
undertaken. A legal action or proceeding may be brought to collect such costs, expenses, interest,
and recoverable attorney's fees, or to foreclose such lien. As an alternative to the maintenance of
any such action, the Town may file a certificate with the Tompkins County Department of
Assessment stating the costs and expenses incurred and interest accruing as aforesaid, together
with a statement identifying the property and landowner. The Tompkins County Department of
Assessment shall in the preparation of the next assessment roll assess such unpaid costs, expenses
and interest upon such property. Such amount shall be included as a special ad valorem levy
(administered as a move tax) against such property, shall constitute a lien, and shall be collected
and enforced in the same manner, by the same proceedings, at the same time, and under the same
penalties as are provided by law for collection and enforcement of real property taxes in the Town
of Ithaca. The assessment of such costs, expenses and interest shall be effective even if the
property would otherwise be exempt from real estate taxation.
(c) Appeals of notices and Town bills. Any person receiving a notice to remove a sign, or a bill for
Town costs and expenses, may appeal to the Town Board by, within 15 days of receipt of such
notice or bill, delivering to the Town Clerk at the Town offices an Appeal requesting a
reconsideration and administrative hearing before the Town Board. Such Appeal shall state the
basis for the request for reconsideration and shall be accompanied by any supporting materials.
Failure to serve such an Appeal within 15 days shall be deemed a waiver of any claim or defense
that the notice or bill is not justified, and the violator shall comply with the requirements of the
notice or pay the bill. If the Appeal is timely filed, the Town Board shall, within 40 days of the
filing, hold a hearing and, based upon any relevant materials presented by the Town and the
appellant, shall issue a resolution deciding the Appeal within 30 days after the hearing. Such
resolution shall be filed with the Town Clerk, who shall arrange for delivery of a copy of the
decision to the appellant within 5 days after such filing, at the address for such person designated
in the Appeal or at such other address as the appellant may thereafter designate in writing to the
Town Clerk. The Town Board's decision after the hearing shall constitute a final agency action.

faces of the sign shall be used to compute the sign area.
B. The area of a sign on a surface that is not flat, and the area of a sign symbol (e.g., a barber pole), shall be
16
Discussion draft for 05/08/17 'frown Board meeting
computed as the area of the smallest rectangle that can encompass the largest viewable surface that is
visible from any one point of view (see "Sign Area Computation" chart below). Supports and mounts
shall not be included in the computation.
C. The only permissible additions to a sign are hanging shingles or smaller signs that extend or are located
below and cumulatively are less than the main sign area. The area of each hanging shingle or smaller
sign shall be measured separately from, and added to, the area of the main sign to determine the total
sign area. Spaces between additions or between an addition and the main sign shall not be included in
the measurement of sign area.
D. The cumulative area of sign bases, supports, and decorative elements shall not exceed 1.5 times the
maximum allowable sign area for the zoning district in which the sign is placed. Terracing or additional
stonework,pillars, or other structures that are not integrally part of a sign are not considered supports.

A LOCAL LAW ADDING ART MURAL PROVISIONS TO
TOWN CODE CHAPTER 270, "ZONING"
Be it enacted by the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 270, entitled"Zoning," of the Town of Ithaca Code, is amended by
adding new Article XXX, entitled"Art Murals," as follows:
"ARTICLE XXX
ART MURALS
§ 270-264. Purpose.
§ 270-265 Allowed art murals.
§ 270-266 Prohibited art murals.
§ 270-267 Art mural permit.
§ 270-268 Alternate requirements and procedures.
§ 270-264. Purpose.
The purpose of this article and the policy of the Town of Ithaca is to permit and encourage art
murals on a content-neutral basis on certain terms and conditions. Art murals comprise a unique
medium of expression which serves the public interest. Art murals have purposes distinct from
signs and confer different benefits. Such purposes and benefits include: improved aesthetics;
avenues for original artistic expression;public access to original works of art; and community
building through the presence of and identification with original works of art. Murals can
increase community identity and foster a sense of place if they are located at heights and scales
visible to pedestrians and are retained for longer periods of time.
§ 270-265. Allowed art murals.
Art Murals that meet all of the following criteria, and which are not prohibited by § 270-266
below, will be allowed as accessory structures in the Agricultural, Mobile Home Park, Multiple
Residence, Light Industrial, Industrial and all Commercial zoning districts upon satisfaction of
the applicable permit requirements:
A. No part of the art mural shall exceed 30 feet in height, from the bottom of the mural to the
top of the mural.
1
B. The art mural shall not extend more than 6 inches from the wall upon which it is tiled or
painted or to which it is affixed.
C. The art mural shall remain in place, without alterations, for a period of three years, except as
described below. The applicant shall certify in the permit application that the applicant
agrees to maintain the art mural in place for a period of three years without alteration. The
following shall not constitute "alteration" of the art mural within the meaning of this article:
(1) Naturally occurring changes to the art mural caused by exposure to the elements or the
passage of time;
(2) Minor changes to the art mural which result from its maintenance or repair. Such minor
changes include slight and unintended deviations from the original image, colors or
materials that occur when the art mural is repaired due to the passage of time, or as a
result of vandalism such as graffiti.
D. The art mural shall not be internally or externally lit.
§ 270-266. Prohibited art murals.
The following are prohibited:
A. Art murals on any historic building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places,
or that has been proposed by the New York State Board on Historic Preservation for a
recommendation to the State Historic Preservation Officer for nomination for inclusion in the
National Register, or that is listed on the State Register of Historic Places.
B. Art murals in a public right-of-way.
C. Art murals for which compensation is given or received for the display of the art mural or for
the right to place the art mural on another's property. The applicant shall certify in the permit
application that no compensation will be given or received for the display of the art mural or
the right to place the art mural on the property. For the purposes of this article,
compensation" shall mean the exchange of something of value. It includes, without
limitation, money,securities, real property interest, barter of goods or services,promise of
future payment, or forbearance of debt. "Compensation" does not include:
(1) Goodwill; or
(2) An exchange of value that a building owner(or leaseholder with a right to possession of
the wall upon which the art mural is to be placed)provides to an artist, muralist or other
entity where the compensation is only for the creation and/or maintenance of the art
mural on behalf of the building owner or leaseholder, and the building owner or
leaseholder fully controls the content of the art mural.
D. Art murals which would result in a property becoming out of compliance with the provisions
of Chapter 270, Zoning, or with conditions of approval imposed by the Planning Board or
Zoning Board of Appeals for the development or lot on which the art mural is to be located.
2
E. Art murals that contain moving or mechanical components.
§ 270-267. Art mural permit.
A. No art mural shall be erected or altered, unless and until an art mural permit for such work
has been obtained. No art mural permit is necessary for maintenance or repair of such a
mural,provided the art mural is reinstalled in the same location, and its dimensions, height,
and design remain unchanged.
B. Applications for art mural permits, on forms provided by the Town, shall be submitted to the
Code Enforcement Officer.
C. Applications shall have attached thereto the following information and material:
(1) Application fee as set from time to time by Town Board resolution.
(2) Information as listed on the application form.
(3) Drawings at an appropriate scale that adequately show the dimensions, height and design
of the art mural, details of any illumination sources, and placement of the art mural
relative to the building on which it is located.
D. The Code Enforcement Officer shall issue a permit within 30 days after:
(1) Receipt of a complete application, if the proposed art mural is in conformance with all
requirements of this article and does not require action by the Planning Board or Zoning
Board of Appeals, or
(2) Receipt of a complete application and any necessary approvals and/or variances by the
Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals, if the proposed art mural complies with
all Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals approvals and/or variances and with all
requirements of this article that have not been waived by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
E. If an art mural authorized by a permit is not completed and in place within one year, said
permit will expire.
F. The Code Enforcement Officer shall issue a Certificate of Compliance for any art mural upon
completion of the art mural installation or alteration in compliance with its permit and any
Planning Board or Zoning Board of Appeals approvals.
§ 270-268. Alternate requirements and procedures.
Even though art murals are not signs, a building owner(or leaseholder with a right to possession
of the wall upon which the art mural is to be placed) may at its option have the requirements and
procedures of Article XXIX, Signs, apply to a proposed art mural that does not meet one or more
requirements of this Article XXX, Art Murals. The building owner or leaseholder must notify
the Department of Code Enforcement in writing that it wishes to utilize this option at least 45
days prior to installation of the art mural. The art mural will thereafter be subject to all of the
3
requirements of, and procedures in, Article XXIX, Signs, instead of those in Article XXX, Art
Murals."
Section 2. If any provision of this local law is found invalid by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of this local law, which shall
remain in full force and effect.
Section 3. This local law shall take effect immediately upon its filing with the New York
Secretary of State.

Ellis Hollow Water Tank Proposal — Ellis Hollow Road and Hungerford Hill Road
Town of Ithaca Town Board—August 7, 2017
The proposal involves installing a new municipal water tank, water main and control valve to meet the
demands of the Pine Tree tank service area, which encompasses portions of the East Hill Water System
in the Town of Ithaca. The need for these improvements was based on a water service study conducted
by GHD for the Town of Ithaca. GHD determined that the existing 200,000 gallon Pine Tree tank was
undersized and did not meet current needs (i.e. fire flow) for the service area, nor would it meet
projected future needs, particularly demands associated with the Maplewood Graduate Student
Housing Project. All impacts related to the Maplewood development have already been fully examined
and mitigated through the Maplewood Environmental Impact Statement process, so this environmental
review examines the impacts of non-Maplewood developments.
The study recommended constructing a new 600,000 water tank that would meet the town's required 3-
day storage capacity for current and future needs in the service area. The GHD study estimated the
water demands as a result of the Maplewood project and also projected demands as a result of
potential future development of several vacant parcels within the service area. This included the 10
acre site off Strawberry Hill Circle (formerly the Greenways proposal) and three smaller parcels off
Slaterville Road and Park Lane. Preliminary demand projections from the GHD study were included in
the Maplewood Draft EIS (appendix). The study indicated that any additional future development within
the service area would require upgrading and possible upsizing of the existing Pine Tree water tank.
The new Ellis Hollow water tank will be located on Hungerford Hill Road, on an 11+/-acre parcel that
contains a barn and a shed and is currently maintained as a mix of lawn, shrubs and woods. The
property is bordered on all sides by Cornell-owned properties: agricultural fields to the north (beyond
Ellis Hollow Road), wooded land to the east, structures and parcels associated with Cornell's Hungerford
Hill Road research facilities to the south, and open fields and wooded land to the west.
The project will increase the intensity of the use of the land during construction of the water tank and
associated main, and will involve some grading, tree loss and soil excavation and material removal.
However, the impacts will be temporary and the tree loss will be minimal. The amount of material
expected to be removed from the site will require approximately 350 truckloads. Proper erosion and
sedimentation controls will be installed during excavation and construction.
In terms of potential visual impacts, the proposed tank will only be 44-feet tall (the height of many
homes that have been constructed in the town), while a good number of trees on the property that
surround the tank are significantly taller. The tank will also be tucked into the side of the slope on the
property, and will be located behind the existing barn that fronts on Ellis Hollow Road. Finally, the tank
will be painted a dark green or blue, to blend in better with the surrounding area. All of these factors
will serve to screen the tank from those traveling along Ellis Hollow Road and from anyone in the woods
and fields that surround the property.
The proposal will impact the existing public water supply insomuch as it will be an upgrade to the supply
to accommodate existing development and future growth in the Pine Tree service area. These beneficial
impacts will include increased water storage capacity for the service area.
Regarding Part 1, question 12b: The proposal will be located on a site that has been previously
disturbed. Therefore, any archaeological resources that had existed on the site would have been
discovered by the prior disturbances.

EXHIBIT I
SCLIWC - BOLTON POINT WATER SYSTEM
2018 WATER RATE SCHEDULE
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2018
RATE STRUCTURE:
The flat rate charge per 1,000 gallons shall be non-fluctuating and equal to four dollars and fifty three
cents ($4.53). This rate is equal to three dollars and thirty nine cents ($3.39)per 100 cubic feet. The
foregoing rate will be the rate charged for all regular quarterly bills sent after January 1, 2018. Actual
or base consumption may occur prior to January 1, 2018.
MINIMUM BASE CHARGES:
Notwithstanding the foregoing rate structure, the following minimum base charges shall be applicable
to the meter size indicated below, for regular quarterly bills sent after January 1, 2018. The table
below shows the amount of water consumption that is permitted before the minimum base charge
would be exceeded:
BASE MINIMUM BASE
METER SIZE CONSUMPTION CHARGE
INCHES (GALLONS) (DOLLARS)
3/4 10,000 45.30
1 30,000 135.90
1-1/2 45,000 203.85
2 90,000 407.70
3 140,000 634.20
4 200,000 906.00
>6 350,000 1,585.50
Multiple Housing and mobile home parks of over two dwelling units, using a master meter, will be
computed as follows: The quarterly master meter reading will be divided by the number of dwelling
units and the water charge will be figured on this number as if the unit was individually metered. The
water charge will then be multiplied by the number of units on the master meter and this will be the
billing rendered. If the calculation of the water consumed per dwelling unit is less than the allowable
consumption for a three-quarter inch meter, then the billing will be calculated by multiplying the
number of units on the master meter times the minimum base charge for a three-quarter inch meter
(e.g., if there were 20 dwelling units on the master meter, and total water consumption shown by the
master meter was 100,000 gallons, the Commission billing would be $906.00 (20 units times $45.30)
rather than $453.00 (100,000 gallons at $4.53/1000 gallons))
An annual charge for each fire protection main serving a fire suppression system will be billed along
with the first quarterly water bill of the calendar year.

getting the approvals and his concept was to get the approvals and sell the property to a home
builder to develop all of the units and that has proven really challenging because to develop the
infrastructure in phase one and that is a challenge for 105 units in a market that only develops
about 34 units across the entire county. His plan also would have taken years and ours is
different and we hope to tighten the construction period to 15 months and use the Townhomes as
rentals and transition to for sale when we have a recapitalization of the development.
Mr. Dirr stated that in looking at the development, they spent a lot of e reviewing the
comments throughout the previous approval process to better uncle the feedback and to see
what they could do to not change anything but to enhance some approvals that have been
granted.
Mr. Dirr had display boards and stated that the are pro to develfirst phase which

with all the necessary infrastructure. The way the raphy is, it runs down nd in the
approval, there were 2-story townhomes with g and they suggesting, b �n some of
the negative comments, and in looking at the sub m tha t take into acco t that
topography; the new proposal would be single story ahigh side of the road and on the
low side, from the road side, you wou single-story but the backsides would actually
be two-units to take advantage of the b hat woul to be built and in the previous
plan would have been undeveloped base t his wo duce the visual impact and
better utilize the contour of the topograph
Mr. Brown added that t ' uilds d ead of � it avoids that view thateo le

They Ian also has f the osed townhouses as a clubhouse for the development near
the e e and some sh servi ch as playgrounds, gardens and inside some computer
equipme reuse room, c unity ving room, and laundry services.
Mr. Dirr state the ori approval had the road as a public road and they are open to the
idea of it being a to ecause that seems to be desirable in municipalities lately. Since it
is a rental develop m rst, the rental management company would be responsible for the
maintenance and in th uture, a home owners association would take that over.
Mr. Dirr spoke about the rentals; they are suggesting doing the development as a rental
development to allow them to reduce the impact of a long production cycle down to a 12-15
month period and allow them to do both the construction of the road and the vertical units
simultaneous. He said he understood that one of the conditions of the subdivision approval was
that the road be completed prior to commencement of any vertical construction so he would like
feedback from the town about their willingness to allow that with the understanding that none of
TB 2017-07-10 pg. 2
the units would be issued Certificates of Occupancy until all of the infrastructure associated with
phase one was completed.
Mr. Dirr stated that they understand that housing affordability is of great concern to the town and
that one of the requirements for the development was that a certain percentage of the units be
affordable. They "acknowledge, accept and agree with that" and they are proposing that a
percentage that is higher than required by the town be affordable. They see the great need and
demand for units that range in that middle income.
Mr. Dirr stated that by "middle income"he means units that range0% AMI up to 130%
AMI and they see that as a need that is not met in this area. He t know what the
percentage will be but when translated into rents, the units w' minately 2- 3- and 4-
bedroom units with the majority being 2 and 3 bedroom uni' gin een $875 - $1,500 a
month excluding utilities. Mr. Dirr stated that they hav a lot of in from CMC about
the units. ����

Board Comments and Q
Ms. Leary asked abo range o is they and asked if that really was within the 50%-
120% AMI and th onded tha ny peopl surprised at what the actual rent is within
those parameters. ry as woul n additional fee for the private road and
they responded no, only ��� �u d separately but they will be very energy
efficient ate es will be abo 15 a month for a 2-bedroom.
v
Mr. "dried that on HO over the roads, the HOA members would be responsible
for th sts, but not on front
Ms. Learyabout the ti rame for possible ownership and Mr. Brown responded that it
depends on th of fina g they are able to secure. If the low income tax credits are taken,
there is a 15 year pHowever, the second phase of 30 odd units would be affordable
for sale units witho g to utilize tax credits. All of the units in the first phase, 66 of them,
would be rentals with e second phase having as many of them as affordable as possible and
that is an issue when not using the tax credits and how many will not have an affordability
requirement to allow that to happen.
Mr. Dirr stated that it is an extraordinarily expensive site to develop because there is so much
infrastructure associated with it so the way to be able to deliver units that are less expensive
would be to utilize a different building structure which isn't contemplated and the other is that
there seems to be a good deal of very low income units, 30%AMI, available in this area so we
TB 2017-07-10 pg. 3
are really trying to target that 50% -130% AMI. He added that Ithaca and Saratoga Springs are
consistently the highest AMI in the region.
Mr. Levine asked about the initial occupancy and if they qualify to get in, are they allowed to
stay even if that changes so that long term occupancy is encouraged? Mr. Dru responded that
once they are admitted as a resident, they cannot be kicked out essentially; the administration
would work the numbers to move them up to the next level while opening the level they left.
Mr. Dru added that once the development turns to ownership those w' the longest tenancy get
a better deal; they essentially get credit toward the eventual purcha units will have a long-
term affordability requirement so someone couldn't move ' an as a market rate unit.
Ms. Hunter asked about the different funding programs out explained the Federal
Low Income Tax Credit which is for units up to 65% A between 6 % there is a State
Low Income Tax Credit so the units that are above 6 d up to 90% are ble for the State
credit but not the Federal credit. Then there is a t ogram called a Midd ome Credit
that the State just started to encourage those uni 0%-130% d that is what es us to
provide that mixed income in the middle, a combi of t �e programs. We ill use those
as well as layered conventional debt.
Mr. Dirr added that the allocation to ea' ends on nancing structure and the market
study as well as the competitive process t ' we can n how it is structured.
Mr. DePaolo asked if they ticipatin edi p om the Town Board or were
they here strictly for in rposes . Dru sai does not anticipate looking for

Ms. Hunter spoke ab creati . .es for r children such as soccer fields, tennis

are ral but they a ret en to those types of recreation.
Ms. Bl i tated that she reciate� he update and agreed with Ms. Hunter about whatever
recreationa ortunities ca incorporated for the teenagers. She also talked about getting a
bus stop there he aske ut parking areas and Mr. Dirr responded that they have
approached this ei ood with normal driveways for parking, not parking lots. He also
stated that this back he NYS Parks property where the Black Diamond Trail is and they
anticipate a number o sements for trails and connectivity to CMC and down to the trail.
Ms. Leary asked about the garages and Mr. Dirr explained that it is mostly a cost and visual
consideration, noting that they have storage in each of the units which is what garages usually
end up being.
TB 2017-07-10 pg. 4
Mr. Goodman asked Mr. Dirr if they are asking the Town for a PILOT and he responded, at this
time he is not but he asked what the Town's feeling are on that since some funding/grant sources
find that attractive.
Mr. Goodman asked about the process and Mr. Dirr outlined the different grants/funds they are
pursuing. They have had positive comments from the agencies.
Mr. Weber commented that it seems they would like to accelerate a lot of the infrastructure and
the buildings and he reminded them that there is public water through site and part of the
acceptance of the water is that there is proper cover over the main at usually facilitates
final roadway grades, so if the water is going in prior to any co on as required, you don't
have cover over the main, that's a consideration. Mr. Dirr re at what they would
typically do is engage the inspector to ensure that construct'° don ording to the
municipality.
There was some discussion on the transportation DDand conditions and r responded
that they will comply with all conditions of the ved plan. p

Ms. Brock had a question about whether the accessory unit would only be allowed in an
accessory building to the primary building because as written, you can have a second dwelling
unit in a building that is accessory to the home; a garage, barn etc. but you can't just build a
second unit that is just a dwelling unit; basically a little house and a big house. Mr. Goodman
responded that that was discussed at the Study Session and those present were fine with allowing
that and removing the current requirement of removing an elder cottage.
Mr. Bates added that there is a percentage of lot coverage which would come in to play with a
stand-alone second unit.
Mr. DePaolo stated that that would bring up other questions suc owing 2-stories and Ms.

9. Discuss and consider approval and authorization to sign the revised Southern
Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission Agreement(Bolton Point)
TB 2017-07-10 pg. 8
Mr. Goodman gave an overview of the history noting that this revision started a few years ago to
simplify and streamline the agreement.
Mr. DePaolo had a question on page 8 where it indicates that"the Chair serve as the public
spokesperson of the Commission and express approved policy of the Commission when called
upon" and he didn't understand the difference and asked whether this implied that the Chair can
only be the spokesperson when he or she is called upon by the Commission to be the
spokesperson or is he the spokesperson and can say whatever he wants and that is the edict of the
Commission whenever he decides to speak.
Mr. Goodman responded that that actually was not changed but umes that the "when called
upon"would be when the Commission asks him to take on t
Mr. DePaolo suggested changing the word "and" to "to" ch makes '� rer that it is the one
role because the Commission is asked from time to t' weigh in on cer nvironmental
issues and political issues and he would want to at if the Chair speaks speaking on
behalf of the Commission and not unilaterally a Commis' letterhead.
Mr. Goodman thought that change would be fine.
Mr. DePaolo asked about page 20 whi o with lat wer connection inspections and
why Cayuga Heights is not included? o espond t he believes they do their
own and the ones in the Agreement are fo se th mmi does and charges back.
Mr. Goodman clarified from k. The t substantive being page 7,

Some discussi Mowed s. Brock stated that the provision of large quantities of water
would be subject each agency would do its own review or it would be a
coordinated review' of the municipalities as Lead Agency for which there is another
process where the tow could state any concerns.
Mr. DePaolo asked what would trip the balance about what is large enough to need a review and
some discussion followed on how to make a review happen. Ms. Brock stated that the
Commission could create a Type 1 list with any sale of water to a non-member that meets certain
criteria would need review.

and June 26, 2017; and
Whereas, the Town Board anticipates that its review, study and consideration of this
legislation, can be completed by October 31, 2017; and
Whereas, the Town Board is concerned that any new legislation would be significantly
subverted if development proposals for new two-family dwellings or for the addition of second
TB 2017-07-24 Pg. 1
dwelling units that are covered by the current moratorium were to be entertained and possibly
approved before the Town Board considers such legislation; and
Whereas, extension of the moratorium until October 31, 2017, will protect the public
health, safety and welfare and further the goals of the moratorium by preventing the
consideration and approval of these types of development during the limited time the Town
needs to complete such review and study and adopt such legislation; and
Whereas, at its meeting on July 10, 2017, the Town Board discussed a local law to
extend the moratorium until October 31, 2017, and set a public hearing for July 24, 2017 at 4:30
p.m. to receive public comments on it; and
Whereas, a notice of public hearing was duly advertised in the Ithaca Journal and said
public hearing was duly held at the Town Hall of the Town of Ithaca and all parties in attendance
were permitted an opportunity to speak on behalf of or in opposition to said proposed local law,
or any part thereof, and
Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act
("SEQRA") and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by
the Town Board that adoption of the proposed local law is a Type II action because it constitutes
"adoption of a moratorium on land development or construction" pursuant to 6 NYCRR §
617.5(c)(30), and thus adoption of the proposed local law is not subject to review under SEQRA;
now therefore be it
Resolved, that Local Law 11 of 2017 entitled Extending the Moratorium on New Two-
Family Dwellings, and on the Addition of a Second Dwelling Unit to an Existing One-Family
Dwelling, through October 31, 2017 is hereby adopted, and be it further
Resolved, that the Town Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file said local law
with the Secretary of State as required by law.

2. Discuss Rental Operating Permit Program
Mr. DePaolo reported from the Planning Committee discussion saying that the major questions
surround the timing and whether some parts would be active before others due to staffing issues
and how to roll this out. Possibilities include phasing in the registering and the inspections.
There will have to be some targeted mailing to listed rentals as well as the media etc.
Mr. DePaolo added that the most substantive issue discussed with Ms. Brock at the Committee
was whether the town wants to allow separate rental units and some restrictions around that such
as within a certain distance of the primary structure so there isn't a little house stuck in the
TB 2017-07-24 Pg. 2
middle of open space in a Conservation Zone. Also looking at size restrictions with the working
number being 800 square feet.
The other talking point is looking at the definition of"family" and the "boarder" component.
Mr. Bates suggests that a boarder be allowed in both sides because it is happening anyway and is
an enforcement nightmare and the developers are asking for it also.
In the high density zones, allowing true duplexes is also on the table to be discussed.
3. Discuss request for establishing an open development zone for 185 Kendall Avenue
Mr. Goodman gave the history of this request and noted that we have done this for two other lots
that had existing buildings on them. There are other vacant lots and something will eventually
happen with those, but this one has a house on it and can't have a building permit until the issue
is resolved. Mr. DePaolo reported that the Planning Committee reviewed this and recommends
moving forward with establishing an Open Development Zone for this one site because the house
is already built. There was some concern about setting a precedent for the other lots, but those
lots do not have houses on them already that have received building permits in the past, so there
is no comparison and therefore no precedent.
Ms. Ritter added that Ms. Brock stated that these types of zones can be conditioned heavily.
Mr. Goodman moved the request to the Planning Board for review and comments with Mr.
DePaolo seconding, unanimous.
4. Discuss and consider award of contract for the 2017 Manhole Rehabilitation Project
TB Resolution 2017-085: Authorization to Award the Contract for the 2017 Manhole
Rehabilitation Proiect
Whereas: The adopted 2017 Ithaca Town Budget included $300,000 for Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation, which includes Manholes; and
Whereas: pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act
("SEQRA") and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by
the Town Board that approval, construction and implementation of the 2017 Manhole
Rehabilitation Project (the "Improvement" or "Project") are a Type II Action because the Action
constitutes "replacement, rehabilitation or reconstruction of a structure or facility, in kind, on the
same site," and thus approval, construction and implementation of the Improvement are not
subject to review under SEQRA; and
Whereas: On July 17, 2017, the Director of Public Works/Highway Superintendent
(Director)received bids for the Project; and
TB 2017-07-24 Pg. 3
Whereas: The Director has reviewed the bids and qualifications of the bidders and has
determined the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $121,442.90 was made by the lowest
responsible bidder, Kenyon Pipe Inspection, LLC., 22 Helen Drive, Queensbury, NY 12804;
now therefore be it
Resolved: That the Town Board hereby authorizes the award of the contract for the Town
of Ithaca 2017 Manhole Rehabilitation Project to Kenyon Pipe Inspection LLC.; and be it further
Resolved: that the Town Supervisor is authorized to execute such contract subject to
approval of the final contract documents by the Town Engineer and Attorney for the Town; and
be it further
Resolved: that the Director is authorized to approve change orders to such contract upon
receipt of appropriate justification provided the maximum amount of such change orders shall
not in the aggregate exceed $12,100.00 without prior authorization of this Board, and provided
further that the total project cost, including contract, engineering, legal, inspection, and other
expenses, does not exceed the maximum authorized cost of$133,542.90 for the project.

5. Committee Reports
Budget Committee—Mr. Levine reported that they discussed the Capital budget and
with the preliminary assessed value increase, the tax bill for a typical house in the Town of
Ithaca, excluding the Village will be 1% or approximately $17. Some people have experienced a
significant increase in their assessments this year so of course those bills will be up significantly
for that reason.
There will be two Highway Funds which will allow the Village to begin paying for a portion of
the services they receive.
The Committee looked at the Sustainability position and the fact that the grant funding is over
and the City had been considering a dedicated full time position but decided against it this year.
This will be a discussion at the P&O Committee also with recommendations forthcoming.
The Committee talked about the 96B sidewalk grant and asking IC for a substantial contribution
since the project benefits almost exclusively the college. Others such as SHBC and new
development might, but right now it's really the college.
