PttMBING CODE Supervisor Schwan noted it appeared there is some con fusion as to whether the Town of Ithaca , at its meeting of August 23 , 1976 , legally adopted the Niew York State Plumbing Code .

Town Attorney Buyoucos will look into this matter and make a recommendation to the Town Board . He said it appears at this time that the Town of Ithaca has adopted the State Plnigbing Code , which is included in the State Building Construction Code since McKinney ' s Consolidated Laws of New York indicates that the Town of Ithaca adopted the State Building Construction Code , in its entirety . :However , final determination in this„ matter will have to await !er .

He suggested that the Town have a traffic light installed at the intersection , stating this is an unusually dangerous corner .

In this connection , Super ® visor Schwan referred 'ito a letter dated September 13 , 1976 frem Councilman Desch ( who °, was not present at this mee +' inq ) indicating his feeling that a traffic light is justified at this intersection and that the Board should officially request the County to install such` a light . Ile urged that the Toe'm ' s County Representatives take up the matter at their next board meeting and sui.ggested that mem- bers , of the Town Board might appear before the County Board if it would help the CountyPBoard to reach a pronpt decision . Dar . How ' s comml eats and Mlt . Desch ' s letter led to a Long discussion of 4 �-way stop ;signs , 4 -way red blinking light ,, and traffic control device ( lights ) . During the discussion L11r . Fabbroni. noted that his studies indicate that the traffic volumes at this intersection do not meet the warrants established for traffic lights, by the State and Fede r," al governmentso and that a request for a traffic control device would probably not be granted by the Depart- ment of Transportation . Councilwoman Raffensperger noted that part of the problem at this intersection as that the present speed lim- its are not enforced , ', according to comments she has heard . County Representative Livesay also citsz:.f! the riecd for more law enforce-- ment at the intersect-ion until people get used to the 4 -way stop signs . She also suggested a " Stow Ahead " sign for Hanshaw Road . County Representative ' Theisen noted that traffic lights are ren - dered ineffective atce:rtain tides . of day because of the sun ' s glare .
