AGENDA ITEM
Public Hearing: Consideration of Preliminary and Final Subdivision Approval for the proposed 4-lot
subdivision located on the north side of Orchard Hill Road (including 10 Orchard Hill Road), Town
of Ithaca Tax Parcel No.'s 22.-2-2.5 and 22.-2-2.6, Low Density Residential Zone. The proposal
involves creating four new parcels out of the two existing parcels. The proposed parcels would consist
of a 2.13 +/-acre vacant parcel(2.A), a 2.00 +/-acre vacant parcel(2-B), a 3.03 +/-acre parcel
containing the existing residence 10 Orchard Hill Road (3-A), and a 1.14 +/-acre vacant parcel(3-B).
Timothy P. Dietrich and Leslie C. Dietrich, Owners/Applicants
Mr.Wilcox opened the public hearing at 7:24 p.m.
Ira Wasserman, 2 Orchard Hill Road, said his property abuts Lot 1.The town sewer line runs
through his backyard, so it's a matter of considerable concern to him that if the potential three new
homes are connected to the sewer, the sewer can accommodate it and that there won't be problems
for him. He's spoken with Mr. Dietrich and understands that his need to subdivide and ultimately
sell the lots is due, in part, to rising property assessments along Orchard Hill Road. It's a shame that
those kinds of considerations become drivers of the evolution of the community. The tax burden is
an issue for people in the neighborhood.Another concern is that on the side of Orchard Hill Road
his property is on, there are currently only four houses, so adding three more is a considerable
increase. The other issue is drainage: water from Dubois Road flows downhill through their proper-
ties.Assuming more construction will clear more brush and trees, the water flow needs to be studied.
Rich Armstrong, 14 Orchard Hill Road, said he is one of the original owners and builders of the
neighborhood. He's concerned about how the neighborhood is going to evolve. He's concerned about
what Dubois Road looks like from Orchard Hill Road to Woolf Lane with the addition of some new
properties that are out of character with the neighborhood: they're small and not very well kept.
When he first bought the property, Rumsey Ithaca Corporation required that he submit an exterior
design that also showed the location of the building to be erected. His architectural drawings had to
be reviewed, and the materials selected had to be compatible with other homes on the street. There
were stringent requirements to meet the overall character of the neighborhood. If the main floor of
the structure were to be raised off the existing grade, it couldn't block the neighbor's view. So the
initial requirements for buying into the subdivision were important to him, and he expects it to be
important to people proposing to build in that area. The construction should fit in with the character
of the neighborhood as designed. That's how the town should do things: go through the neighbor-
hood and look at some of the new buildings and decide whether that's the character of the torn. He
and Mr. Dietrich's father paid$12,000 to have the water line brought down the hill; others can now
hook up to it. If the town is going to supply sewer for potential new construction, will it be available
Planning Board Minutes 05.01.2018
Page 3 of 8
to him down the road? He's concerned about the drainage. Sometimes when there's a heavy rain,
there's a six-foot-wide swath of water running through the middle his property.
Mr. Haefeli asked whether it's a covenant-controlled neighborhood.
Ms. Balestra said she did a bit of research a long time ago with the Orchard Hill Road subdivision.
She did not see restrictive covenants,but will take a closer look. It wasn't part of the resolution for
the planning board, but when the subdivision was approved, restrictive covenants didn't always get
filed with the deeds.
Ms. Brock stated that we don't enforce restrictive covenants because we don't know whether or not
they're valid. If it was required by the planning board, we would,but if the developer just put them in
himself without the torn requiring them,we do not get involved.
Jeff Silber, 20 Orchard Hill Road, said they have no sewer or water except when the water is coming
out of the ground and out of the sky.An area of their lawn, increasingly over the years, is green
throughout the year until it freezes. The soil is very wet and there's lots of clay.After two floods in
their house, they had excavator work done, and that will hopefully take care of things. So drainage is
their biggest concern as properties are built on and improved.The drawings provided in the packet
make the seasonal stream look discontinuous - like it runs to a property line and jumps over -but
he's not sure it really does that or if it's a cartographer's interpretation.Those seasonal streams are the
source of some of the water; one of them bisects the small lot. He understands that the code requires
that water be mitigated as part of any development.
Ray Small, 3 Orchard Hill Road, said he's also one of the original buyers in the neighborhood. He
shares a lot of the concerns his neighbor brought up. They had to go through a lot of approvals; for
example, all houses had to have cedar siding. He's not opposed to the project,but is concerned about
the character of the homes that might be built.
Mr.Wilcox closed the public hearing at 7:39.
Mr. Bates explained what happens when someone applies for a building permit to construct a house:
we make sure it complies with the building code and the setback requirements within our zoning.
Engineering looks at the SWPPP to make sure it's compliant, and the SWPPP needs to be approved
before we issue a permit.All issues are considered at the time someone proposes building.
Mr. Bosak said this is a good example of a point he's raised before: neighborhood character is a
SEQR issue. Having already declared a neg dec, he questions the board's ability to deny a site plan
that meets all the code. This is not our fault; it's the way the state has arranged the process. Over and
over,we run into the problem of approving the SEQR, and then comments the public raises during
the public hearing about SEQR issues are too late to resolve.This is a major flaw in the process.
Mr. Haefeli asked what happens if any covenants are at odds with what is being proposed in the
subdivision before us.
Ms. Brock responded that if the town required the covenants as part of an approval, we might want to
know why and whether the torn should be requiring those same covenants for the new action. If the
Planning Board Minutes 05.01.2018
Page 4 of 8
developer wanted to do that on their own,we don't get involved in that.We don't have abstracts of
title; we don't know whether, at some point, something happened and those covenants aren't in
effect anymore.That's a private transaction that has nothing to do with our zoning or our subdivision
law. It's not in our purview to base our decision on whether it complies with a private party's
transaction. Private covenants would typically be in the deed.
Mr. Dietrich said he read somewhere that this covenant was due to expire in ten years after the initial
purchases on the property. He thinks it was part of the original development plan.When he consid-
ered doing this subdivision, he searched for the covenant, and found that it expired after ten years.
Mr.Wilcox said a covenant or deed restriction may have been filed or may have been enforced by the
developer after the initial approval. It may not still have been effect, and the torn may not have any
record of it.
Ms. Balestra looked at the minutes from the preliminary and final subdivision reviews in the 1970s
and didn't see anything related to restrictions. She also read the deed and saw nothing related to
restrictions on the location, design, or height of the houses.This was not something our planning
board required. It may or may not have been required by the developer.
Mr.Wilcox said that although any covenant would be a private matter, it would behoove anyone who
buys the lots to check to see if there are covenants or deed restrictions still in place that are enforce-
able on the land. If the town approval at the time said, for example, that the lots all had to be two
acres, then it would be relevant to the action.
Mr. Dietrich said his father did have to submit plans and conform to whatever the developer deemed
appropriate for the neighborhood. But he's sure that it expired after ten years.
Mr.Wilcox said cedar siding might have been in a covenant, but for this board, to say the houses
need to have cedar siding gets into an area he would call "architectural review," and that's not a
power given to the planning board. So we don't go there.
Mr. Bates wanted people to understand that even if there are covenants or deed restrictions, building
department staff have no authority to enforce them. He can only enforce the building code. Cove-
nants are often sales tools, and it's up to the neighbors to enforce them.The applicant will have to get
with his attorney to make sure when he sells these, they'll be free and clear to do what the buyer
wants. If the buyer's attorney is savvy, he or she will do the same.
For the benefit of the neighbors who were in attendance, Ms. Balestra explained some of the
conditions in the resolution that address drainage.When we did our environmental review, we noted
an intermittent drainage stream that crossed almost all of the properties on one side. That particular
intermittent stream is not listed on our stream setback law because it doesn't meet the drainage
requirements,but we were concerned that future development down the line would impact neighbors
to the east downhill, so we passed it by the engineering department. They have to approve stormwater
management facilities and erosion and sedimentation controls.We decided to add as a condition of
approval that when and if a building permit is submitted, the development would have to adhere to
our stream setback requirements and would also have to meet our stormwater management law,
Planning Board Minutes 05.01.2018
Page 5 of 8
which would require the erosion and sedimentation control so any drainage stays on the site and is
handled on the site.We don't normally add that as a condition of approval for a subdivision.
Ms. Brock added that even though that has to be done anyway as part of the building permit, the
planning department felt that if we state it as a condition, it's a reminder that there are concerns with
these lots because there's a stream that's regulated and because of the drainage. Hence, condition B.

AGENDA ITEM
SEQR Determination: Reaffirmation of the October 4, 2016 (Resolution No. 2016-056) SEQR
determination (negative determination of environmental significance) for the Sleep Inn Hotel located
at 635 Elmira Road, Torn of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 35.4-2 1, Neighborhood Commercial Zone. No
changes have been made to the project scope since the 2016 approval. Ahir Hotels Corp., Own-
er/Applicant; Adam M. Fishel, PE, Marathon Engineering, Agent
Ms. Fogarty abstained from the action and took a seat in the audience.
Ms. Brock explained that this is a Type I action, so we had to do a coordinated review and the
planning board was the lead agency for SEQR. The planning board's negative determination is
binding on the ZBA when it goes to them for the variances. Even though the site plan approval is still
valid and there's no expiration imminent, the variances have a shorter timeframe and are about to
expire. For the ZBA to consider issuing them again, they need to have SEQR done, and because the
planning board was the lead agency, it's simpler for you to look at it and determine whether to
reaffirm the neg dec in light of the fact that there have been no changes. Then the ZBA will be able to
act on their variances.
Mr. Fishel said they have made no changes to the site plan since the approval. The only changes
they've made have been to address the approval conditions.They're working with the DOT, torn
staff, the contractor, and the developer to iron out funding. They're hoping it will be kicked off this
year, but just in case there's another setback and the variances need to be pushed farther out, they're
asking the ZBA to extend the approvals for another 18 months.
Mr. Bosak asked whether, absent any significant difference in conditions or plan,we would even have
the authority to make a different decision without being arbitrary and capricious.
Ms. Brock responded that you'd have to have a rational reason to come out with a different answer.
Mr.Wilcox said the law might have changed, or something that we look at as part of SEQR, such as
traffic, might have changed significantly, and that may lead us to a different conclusion.
Mr. Haefeli pointed out that that's why the environmental review isn't indefinite.
Planning Board Minutes 05.01.2018

Mr. Bosak commented that at the case law review session of the Planning Federation meeting this
year, it was noted that recently there was a New York court decision that said if you make a ruling
different from a ruling you made before on an essentially similar set of circumstances - even if it's a
different project - it is ipso facto capricious and arbitrary.
Ms. Brock agreed, unless it's a rational reason.
