Supervisor ' s Report
Sewer Project Status
Supervisor Desch stated that he would like to read a letter from
James G . Van Hoesen , of the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation ( copy attached ) that brings a great deal
of satisfaction and one which will trigger a series of steps that
will lead to construction of this long awaited project .
This means that within 45 days we will have the Grant Offer . The
documents have been released for printing and will be released to
contractors on or about March 22 and bids scheduled to be opened on
® May 2 , 1984 . If the Grant Offer comes through in this amount , we
would release our joint brocure for public bidding of $12 , 500 , 000
in BANS . This represents the cash flow needs for four quarters ,
starting six months into the project . Since that money will not be
available , because of the bid period , for four to six weeks after
opening the construction bids we will need approximately one
million dollars to make the initial two months of payments to the
contractor . Therefore , at the April meeting , we will be
considering approval of a resolution to borrow the Towns share of
the $ 1 , 000 , 000 , which will be $ 415 , 740 plus the Towns share of
local STEP II costs which willbe $ 114 , 328 . 50 or a total of

Contracting Parties: The State of New York Acting by and through the Commissioner
of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation who shall
act as authorized representative of the State of New York
and
The City of Ithaca
in Tompkins County
The Municipality agrees to comply with the statutory requirements included in Appendix A and
those listed below.
Statue Reference: Laws of 1972 Chapter 658 ( as amended or repealed by the Laws of
1973 Chapter 400 , 401 , and 402 )
Laws of 1972 Chapters 659 , 664 , 998
Laws of 1974 Chapter 518
Laws of 1975 Chapter 308

New York State Rules and Regulations, Section 621. 13
This contract shall be deemed executory only to the extent of money available to the State for
the performance of the terms stated here ; no liability shall be incurred by the State beyond
moneys available for these purposes.
This contract is issued on the premise that a Federal grant will be awarded. If a Federal grant
is not awarded, this contract will not be signed by the State Comptroller and is therefore null
and void.
Should this contract be signed by the State Comptroller and the Federal grant subsequently
annuled or terminated the Commissioner will take similar action with the State Contract.
The State share shall be one-half the non-Federal share. Should the Federal grant be awarded
at a different figure from originally estimated, the State costs will be recalculated
accordingly. If overpayment has occurred, the Municipality shall then repay the State the
amount by which the State payment actually made exceeds the State payment determined by
the recalculation.
X Approval of this Contract does not .. guarantee State or Federal funding for future steps or
phases of the project. Such funding is dependent on : the future availability of State and
Federal moneys.
The estimated, reasonable project cost eligible for State participation and the State grant
amount are shown on the attached , cost breakdown. All information pertaining to project
description, completion schedule , pollution abatement, and any _ Special Conditions is also
attached. Any increase or decrease to this cost or grant, and all project changes which
substantially alter the design and scope of the project, the type of treatment provided, the
location , size , capacity , or quality, or any major item of equipment must be submitted to the
Commissioner for prior approval.
J
The Municipality agrees that it will fund its share of the project cost.
The Municipality shall maintain separate accounting and fiscal records which show the receipt
and expenditure of all project funds. All project items eligible for State assistance shall be
separately itemized and shall be distinguished from project items ineligible ' for State
assistance. These records and documents shall be kept intact and readily available for three
( 3) years after the issuance of the final Federal/State payment for the completion of the
project.
The Municipality shall submit to the Commissioner such reports, documents, data and other
information as may be requested. Representatives of the Commissioner shall have un-
restricted access to the work for purposes of inspection and to all accounting and fiscal
records and subcontractors records for purposes of audit.
The Commissioner on behalf of the State may annul or terminate this contract.
Grounds for annulment or termination shall include but not be limited to failure to comply
with Federal or State legal requirements, contravention of the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation procedural obligations, or actions which would result in revo-
cation of a permit, as set forth in the New York State Rules and Regulations Section 621 . 13 .
The Commissioner's annulment or termination of a contract shall not be effective until he has
undertaken procedures in conformance with the process set forth in the New York State Rules
and Regulations Section 621 . 13 . For purposes of this clause, the word "contract", shall be
deemed to be substituted for the word "permit" and the word "Municipality" for the word
"permittee" in each place in which they appear in Section 621 . 13 .
It is understood that a determination by USEPA to annul or terminate will affect the grant
made hereby by operation of law, since the Commissioner is authorized to award grant
assistance only in an amount related to USEPA's determination of eligibility. Therefore, the
Commissioner will take action to reduce the grant hereby made consistent with annulment or
termination by USEPA. In the event that such action is taken by the Commissioner, and the
grantee appeals the Regional Administrator's determination, the effective date of the
Commissioner's decision will be the date on which the appeal is decided on by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency.
No delay or omission on the part of the State in exercising any right under this contract shall
operate as a waiver of such right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a
waiver of any right on any future occasion. No waiver or consent shall be binding unless it is
in writing and signed by the Commissioner.
This contract may not be assigned, transferred, conveyed, sublet or disposed of without the
previous consent in writing of the State .
This ontract shall become effective upon approval by the State Comptroller in accordance
with 112 of the State Finance Law and upon approval as to form by the Attorney . General in
accordance with 9 51-0107( 2 ) of the Environmental Conservation Law .
The State share of the Project Cost shall be paid to the Municipality in accordance with Part
625 . 5 Water Quality Improvement Projects, Title 6 , Chapter VII of the Codes, Rules and
Regulations of the State of New York . Payments shall continue until 95 % of the State share
has been paid, which will not occur until 95 % of the project has been completed in the opinion
of the Department.
_l�
Five (S ) percent shall be retained from each payment. Following the completion of the project
and final inspection by the Department of Environmental Conservation indicating that the
project is complete and operating satisfactorily in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and _
regulations, a final payment bringing the total of the State share of the final project costs to-
100 % will be issued to the Municipality.
If, upon final inspection, the Department determines that the five ( S) percent retained from
each payment is not adequate to offset all disallowed costs, an amount equal to the costs
overpaid will be deducted from any future State grant(s) made to the Municipality.

Total construction $ 14 , 240 , 000
Eligible innovative construction = $ 315 , 600 _ 0222
Total construction $ 14 , 240 , 000 _
( a ) Administrative costs were approved for assistant grants administrator ,
Barbara Ann Eckstrom , independent contractor , 40 hrs . week x 104 weeks ( 24 months )
4160 hrs .

February 21 , 1964 ,
Total Federal and State administrative expense approved $ 132 , 400
I /A administrative expense was calculated as follows :
4
$ 132 , 400 x . 2491 = $ 32 , 981 Alternative
$ 132 , 400 x . 0222 = $ 2 , 939 Innovative
Note difference between amount requested in application and amount aonroved was .
either force account , see miscellaneous line item or could not be substantiated
at this time .
( 2 ) Engineering fees requested in application totaled $ 1 , 539 , 700 , actual contract
amount was $ 1 , 538 , 837 , estimated amount aporovable by MYSDEC is S1 , 493 , 558 .

$ 1 , 493 , 558 x . 2491 = $ 372 , 045 alternative
$ 1 , 493 , 558 x . 0222 = $ 33 , 157 innovative
Town Board 2 rlarch 12 , 1984
$ 530 , 068 . 50 or rounded to $530 , 000 . The $ 114 , 000 we would invest
until January 1984 when the City renews the STEP II BAN which our
share would reduce .
We have also just received the contract from NYDBC which , when
executed , will colmt the State to their share . We , the City and
Dryden must adopt this resolution so it can all be sent back to the
State as soon as possible . Fortunately , our three calenders work
to perfection , the Town of Ithaca is meeting tonight , Town of
Dryden on Tuesday , and- the City on Wednesday . Note that the
State ' s share will not be 12 . 5 % . This comes about because the
Federal share will be 77 . 5% not 750 , because of the I/A Technology ,
The State ' s share is h of the non Federal share , so it will be
® about 11 . 20 . This is determined now , so that the Federal
Government will pickup the higher percentage all the way through
the project from the foundation up .
The State reimbursement amount is $ 1 , 935 , 502 for Segment I , so it
is in our best interest to adopt this added starter to the agenda
and take action late in the meeting .
Zoning Law
The Supervisor went on to say that shortly he expected to receive
the EAF on the Zoning Law. He stated that he expected the Board
would make a positive declaration as was done on the Subdivision
Regulations . So before this meeting is over , we should begin the
necessary schedule of work sessions to lead us to adoption .
Fire Contract
Supervisor Desch stated that negotiations are continuing with the
City on the Fire Contract . We have some better wording on the
response during confligration , so we are getting closer . The
budget request figure for 1985 is $ 345 , 000 because the 1983 costs
include the $ 150 , 000 the City spent on fire hose . He stated that
he did not feel that the Town should be asked to pay all of our
share in one year because it inflates the annual pay out and tempts
the City to build that much capital in the budget every year . The
useful life of the hose is ten years , so perhaps a reasonable
spread of our costs should be eight years .
Town Engineer ' s Report
Town Engineer Lawrence Fabbroni reported that he has been busy
Putting the plans together for the water and sewer improvements .
The Northeast Transit Committee has started discussions on their
long range plans . Drainage proposals have been submitted to the
County for their consideration , matching funds $ 1 , 000 from the
County and $ 1 , 000 from the Town . He went on to say that he had
requested the County appropriate $ 10 , 000 with the Town matching the
$ 10 , 000 . If we can get $5 , 000 he stated that he would be happy .
Mr . Fabbroni went on to say that he was trying to get an extension
from DEC to extend our work permit . When the water is high , it is
® not easy to get into the creek . He noted that the Route 79
drainage project has been shifted back to Syracuse . The weather
has been part of the reason for the delay in starting the Burns
Road Project . He is looking forward to starting the project around
April 1st ,
Town Planner ' s Report
Town Planner Peter Lovi remarked that the Board members have the
Subdivision Regulation before them. He suggested that the Board
Town Board 3 March 12 , 1984
hold off passing the new Zoning Law until the Subdivision
Regulations are approved .
Councilwoman Raffensperger remarked that she understood that the
Town has had conversations with Cornell University on the parking
lot proposed for East Ithaca . When will the Board be informed as
to where Cornell plans to locate this parking lot ?
Town Engineer Fabbroni responded that as far as we know , the
parking lot will be located behind the East Hill Plaza .
Supervisor Desch reported that the plan is up for Trustee
consideration this weekend .
® Highway Superintendent ' s Report
Town Highway Superintendent Robert Parkin reported that most of the
weather stripping has been installed at the highway facility . Work
is being done on the loft area . We have been hauling in stone for
patching and paving .

for Town residents . Also , have had the men and bulldozer out
removing tree stumps on the new highway land ( formerly Millard
Brinks property) .

resolution in front of them which was self explanatory , however ,
Doria Higgins , the Coordinator for the Ithaca Outdoor Sculpture
Exhibition was present , if any Board member had questions .
Councilman Cramer asked where the exhibition would take place ?
Ms . Higgins responded , on land behind my house on Hillcrest Drive .

LAKE SHORE WEST PROJECT - REVIEw EAF AMID DETERMINATION OF
SIGNIFICANCE .
Kevin Lewis stated that the Lake Shore West people have been in
negotiations with the County for the last two weeks . A larger
structure now seems to be more marketable . We are still
considering 125 to 150 units in the first Phase . However , fifty
acres of land is now available for independent development . Space
for doctors offices as well as a nursing facility still are in the
plans for independent development . He went on to say that only
one-half of the 50 acres would need to be rezoned . A variance
would need to be obtained for the doctors offices . We are asking
for one parking space instead of the 1 . 3 required in the Zoning
Ordinance .
Supervisor Desch asked Mr . Lewis what services in Phase I would be
obtained from the Hospital ?
Mr . Lewis responded that they were still in negotiations . We would
buy heat from the County who in turn acquires it from the Hospital ,
same with electricity .
Councilwoman Raffensperger remarked , 250 spaces at one per unit .
There are no provisions for parking spaces for employees . Are
there spaces provided for employees ?
Town Planner Lovi responded , no .
Councilwoman Raffensperger noted that the Zoning Ordinance does not
address the problem of parking spaces for employees .
® Mr . Lewis stated that there probably would be parking spaces
ailoted out back , when the details are more cunplete we will know.
Councilwoman Raffensperger noted that the estimated traffic
generated per day was not included in the EAF .
Town Planner Lovi responded that it was an error on his part , he
left it out .
Note , all engineering fees were combined under the architectural engineering basic
fees line item to facilitate the payment process . Breakdown of engineering fees

PUBLIC HEARING - TOWN OF ITHACA WATER SYSTEM BENEFITTED AREA - 1984
Proof of posting and publication notice of a Public Hearing to
consider the Town of Ithaca Water System Benefitted Area - 1984 ,
having been presented by the Town Clerk , the Supervisor opened the
public hearing .
Supervisor Desch stated that these public hearings are the
culmination of extensive amounts of study and discussion by the
Town Board over the past three to four years .
The steps include the decision to do a Master Plan of water
improvements in recognition of the need to prioritize the vast
inventory of needs that we have been .aware of .
Following the completion of the Master Plan , the community
responded with extensive input on the areas where we were having
critical problems with private water supply systems . In 1979 , and
in 1982 , we were able to effectively handle the severe problem
areas on Stone Quarry Road and Coddington Road . This was done
without having to increase the benefit assessment .
One of the primary questions was : "Can we schedule the initial
phase of the water improvements to avoid a major increase in the
$ 23 / unit water benefit assessment rate ? " Our target was to make
the initial payout for these improvements in 1985 , when the annual
debt service payments begin to decline in major steps which would
then offset the new debt service . The scope of work was then set
to match the level that could be afforded without bringing about an
unreasonable burden on the entire Town .
A second objective was to utilize the plant constructed in the
f irst phase to serve as much as possible the connecting links and
capacity needed for the ensuing phases . This is particularly true
with the work on West Hill since there is a desire for service in
an area larger than that which can be afforded in Phase I . It is
conceivable that the second phase might be accomplishable as early
as 1986 or 1987 .
From the standpoint of public works planning , we will have resolved
the most pressing reliability concerns in the area of the hospital
and in time for the new load that will result at the old hospital .
Stabilization of the pressure zones on South Hill , particularly on
Danby Road will occur so that Phase II can potentially further loop
the pressure zones across King Road and also on East Hill , respond
to the increasing demands in the Snyder Hill and Plaza areas .
P/ ri
Town Board 7 March 12 , 1984
The time will come before the end of the decade when additional
storage will be needed on West Hill and East Hill , this may be
possible as a part of Phase II or Phase III .
It is a pleasure to be a part of the planning and design effort .
We not only have excellent support from our engineering and water
system staff and our legal staff but the constituents have been of
considerable assistance in assessing the interest in these
services .
In the case of sewer , we are responding to the results of the Sewer
Sytem Evaluation Survey which indicates that the existing trunk
sewer to the hospital adds considerable infiltration to the City
® system . Since we will be charged for what we contribute at the
Town line , it is in our best interest to minimize all extraneous
flow and also to avoid a collapse of the system . The Bundy Road
service is in response to the desires of the property owners .
These improvements can be accomplished without an increase in the
$ 50 /unit benefit rate .
On West Hill , our level of improvement is also conditioned by the
extensiveness of the Agriculture District . From the standpoint of
pressure zones , these areas may someday be served but it is not
appropriate to spend considerable sums of public money to serve
these areas without the ability to assess the properties in the Ag
District ,
The Supervisor went on to say -- and so we have before us a
properly sign cost effective improvement that responds to our most
urgent needs and will benefit the entire Town for many years to
come .
Following action this evening , we will if approved , apply to the
State Comptroller for approval and release the documents for
bidding at the April meeting , since the referendum period will
expire on April 12 .
Edward Hollister , 173 West Haven Road questioned the plan that was
underway now , what portion of the pumping cost could be saved by
going into Phase II immediately ?
Supervisor Desch responded , three to four thousand a year .
Mr . Hollister asked if the main would make a loop .
Supervisor Desch responded , after the second phase is cu-ppleted .
As no one present wished to speak for or against the improvement ,
the Supervisor closed the public hearing .

reaffirmed the resolution adopted on - the 3rd of November, 1955 and the Town
Board further delegated to the Planning Board the authority to mandate
clustered subdivisions in the Town of Ithaca . Said resolution further au -
thorized the Planning Board to require developers to submit a clustered
subdivision plan whenever the Planning Board believes that the application of

lations , adopted by the Planning Board on November 11 , 1982 and approved

preliminary plat . All documents relating to the preliminary plat , including

staking of roads and lots , and the preparation of final plans , detailed engi -
neering drawings , and other information necessary for the proper environ -
mental review of the proposal . Preliminary approval does not imply nor
should it be presumed to predispose final subdivision approval or endorsement
by the Planning Board or any other agency of the Town of Ithaca . In cases
involving substantial public controversy , the Planning Board shall require a
public hearing at the time final subdivision approval is considered .

RESERVATION REQUIREMENTS AND SUBDIVISION DESIGN STANDARDS
Section 21 . Reservation of Land for Public Facilities or Public Utilities
Whenever a subdivider proposes to subdivide land . which includes , or appears
to include , all or part of the proposed site for a public facility or public
utility as designated in the Comprehensive Plan , the Planning Board shall
submit the plat to the public body responsible for acquiring the land for the
site - before approving the preliminary plat of the subdivision . If this public
body determines that the site for the public facility or public utility should
be located within the boundaries of the proposed subdivision , then the Plan -
ning Board may require the subdivider to reserve land for public acquisition
and shall designate the boundaries of said land . Such reservation shall be
for a period determined by the Planning Board , but not for a period of more
than six months from the date of .submittal of the preliminary plat . Upon
receipt of a preliminary plat where a site for a public facility may be in -
volved , the Planning Board shall transmit a. copy of the plat to the public
body responsible for the acquisition of the site .
No dedication for a drainage easement or a highway or other public use shall
be shown on a plat unless the Planning Board determines to accept such
dedication . When a subdivision is traversed by a water course , drainage
way , channel , stream , or creek , the subdivider shall provide a storm water
easement or drainage right - of-way of sufficient width for such purpose and
its maintenance , wherever the Planning Board finds such easement desirable .
Where alleys are not provided or may not be used for that purpose , ease -
ments not less than 5 feet in width shall be provided at the rear of each lot
for poles , wires , conduits , storm sewers , sanitary sewers , gas lines , water
mains and lines , and other utility purposes as required . In no case shall the
combined widths of the easements on both sides of a rear lot line be less than
10 feet. Additional easements shall be provided where required by the Plan -
ning Board ,
Section 22 . Reservations of Parks and Recreational Land
The Planning Board may require that land be reserved within subdivisions for
parks , playgrounds , and other recreational purposes . The amount of land to
be so reserved is normally in the amount of ten ( 10 ) percent of the gross
area of the subdivision . The area shall be shown and marked on the final
plat " Reserved for Park and / or Playground Purposes . " However , where the
Planning Board determines that a suitable park or parks of adequate size
cannot be properly located in a subdivision , or where such a reservation is
otherwise not appropriate or practical , the Board may require , as condition to
approval of any such plat , a payment to the Town of Ithaca in lieu of land
reservation .
Each reservation shall be of suitable size , dimension , topography , and general
character and shall have adequate road access for the particular purposes
envisioned by the Planning Board . In general , land reserved for recreation
13
FOR TOWN BOARD CONSIDERATION
purposes shall have an area of at least two ( 2 ) acres . The Board may re -
quire that the recreation area be located at a suitable place on the edge of
the subdivision so that additional land may be added at such time as the
adjacent land is subdivided . The subdivider may dedicate all such recreation
areas to the Town .
Land reserved for use as playgrounds or playfields shall be of a character
and location suitable for such use . This land shall be relatively level and
dry and shall be improved by the subdivider to the standards required by
the Planning Board . A recreation site should have a total frontage on one or
more streets of a least two hundred ( 200 ) feet , and no other dimension of the
site should be less than two hundred ( 200 ) feet in depth .

The arrangement of streets in the subdivision shall provide for the continua -
tion of the principal streets in C-Adjoining subdivisions or for their proper
projection when adjoining property is not subdivided , and shall be of a width
at least as great as that of existing connecting streets or the minimum high -
way widths established here . As it general rule the right -of-way of streets
shall not be less than sixty ( 60 ) feet . The street layouts must cause no
hardship to owners of adjoining property when they plat their own land and ,
seek to provide for convenient access to it .
Street names shall be shown ; they shall provide for continuation of the names
of existing streets wherever appropriate ; they shall not duplicate the names
of highways elsewhere in Tompkins County . Highway names shall be subject
to the approval of the Planning Board . House numbers shall be assigned by

feet per hundred . For all other thoroughfares , the vertical curves shall be
equivalent to ten times such difference . At any point , the minimum sight
distance shall be 350 feet .
Where provided , a cul - de - sac shall not exceed 1000 feet in length and shall
be terminated in a turnaround having a property line radius of not less than
50 feet . Where a dead end street is dedicated for the purpose - of providing
future access to adjacent property , its length shall not exceed 1000 feet ;

terminated in a turnaround or backaround acceptable to the Town Engineer .
The minimum right - of-way width shall be 60 feet in level terrain . Additional
right of way may be specified where deep cuts or fills exist . Where a thor -
oughfare is designated in the Comprehensive Plan as having fully or partially
controlled access , and the subdivider elects to provide a frontage road rather
than back or side lots on the thoroughfare , full right -of-way shall be ded -
icated for the frontage road .
Where , any highway deflects at an angle of ten degrees of more , the minimum
radii of center line curvature and the minimum lengths of reverse curves shall
be as follows , where not specified in the Comprehensive Plane
TYPE OF HIGHWAY RADIUS ( MIN ) TANGENT ( MIN )
ramp 100 100
cul- de - sac 50 100

highway 270 200
15
FOR TOWN BOARD CONSIDERATION
I'dhere a thoroughfare contains or abuts a thoroughfare designated as having
fully controlled access or partially controlled access in the Comprehensive
Plan , the plat shall provide for such control for the purpose of . reducing
traffic hazards by eliminating conflict between local traffic entering and
leaving driveways and through traffic . Where a plat includes lots which
directly abut such a thoroughfare , rather than a - frontage , the Planning
Board may require the subdivider , by appropriate instrument deemed suffi -
cient by the Town Attorney , to relinquish right of access to the thoroughfare
from such lots .
Section 24 . Blocks and Lots
Each normal . block shall be planned to provide two rows of lots , but irregu -
larly shaped blocks indented by cul- de -sac streets will be acceptable when
properly designed with an adequate turnaround . The lengths , widths , and
shapes of blocks shall be determined with due regard to the provision of
building sites suitable to the special needs of the type of uses contemplated ,
zoning requirements as to lot sizes and dimensions , need for convenient
access , circulation , control and safety of highway traffic , solar access and
the limitations and opportunities of topography .
Residential blocks shall not be more than 1 , 500 feet in length , except as the
Planning Board determines necessary to secure efficient use of land or to
achieve desired features of the highway system ; measurement of block length
shall be between property lines . In any block over 700 feet long , the Plan -
ning Board may require the subdivider to dedicate and construct a public
walkway across the block . Such walkway shall have a minimum right-of- way
of 20 feet , of which at least 8 feet shall be paved . Residential blocks shall
be wide enough to provide two tiers of lots of minimum . depth , except where
lots back upon a controlled access thoroughfare .
The area width , depth , and orientation of lots shall be appropriate for the
location of the subdivision and for the type of development permitted by the
Zoning Ordinance or contemplated in the Comprehensive Plan . Except for
areas which have been previously platted as small lots , minimum lot areas and
dimensions shall be as established in the Zoning Ordinance , . . including the
approved plans of the planned development districts . In areas which at the
effective date of these regulations were substantially platted with lots having
areas or widths less than those required by the Zoning Ordinance , the Plan -
ning Board may permit the platting or replatting of lots conforming generally
in area and width to existing lots in the immediate. vicinity , but the areas
shall not be reduced below 6 , 000 square feet or the widths below 50 feet .
Where any lot is proposed to be served by an individual sewage disposal
system , the minimum dimensions of each lot shall be determined by the Health
Department . The Health Department may require the subdivider to provide
acceptable percolation tests for lots to be served by individual sewage dis -
posal systems , except that no such lot shall have an area of less than 30 , 000
square feet .
Corner lots shall be increased in size whenever necessary so as to provide
that any structure to be placed thereon shall conform to the provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance . Lots which are sufficiently large to make . possible
16
FOR TOWN BOARD CONSIDERATION
replatting in the future shall be of such shape to facilitate replatting . Side
lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines . Where
a building setback line is shown on a plat , it shall not be in front of any
building setback line established by ordinance .
Section 25 . Solar Access
All subdivisions shall be platted so as to preserve or enhance solar access for
either passive or active systems , consistent with the other requirements of
these regulations . Improvement of solar orientation may be a sufficient
consideration , in the judgment of the Planning Board , to warrant site plan
modifications .
Section 26 . Storm Drainage
All land development shall be related to the surrounding drainage pattern ,
with provisions made for proper storm drainage facilities . All drainage im -
provements must be acceptable to the Town Engineer . Minimum runoff shall
be determined by the Rational Metliod or an equivalent formula with conven -
tional runoff factors , using as a minimum a rainfall rate of . 5 inches per
hour . In all instances , provisions shall be made for adequate storm drainage
and drainage structures to prevent water from standing in the ends of
deadend streets or cul-de - sacs .

Agricultural lands must first be rezoned to a residential designation before a
clustered subdivision plan may be brought before the Planning Board for
review . The Planning Board may not require a subdivider to prepare a
cluster plan- for lands in an Residence District R9 .
The area of the subdivision /.. reserved for open space shall not be more than
ten percent of the gross area , and shall contain in any event a parcel with
an open area of at least 10 , 000 square feet .
At the time of preliminary approval , it shall be determined whether or not the
subdivision to be considered shall be a cluster design . If the subdivider
presents to the Planning Board a traditional subdivision plan , the Planning
Board shall have the authority to approve a preliminary plat for a given
number of units , contingent upon all or part of those units being clustered in
a final plat acceptable to the Planning Board .
In cases where the subdivider proposes to develop a portion of the property
as a traditional subdivision and a portion as a clustered subdivision , the
Planning Board shall have the authority to approve , modify and approve , or
disapprove the proportions of the project and locations which shall be devel -
oped traditionally or being clustered .
In the event the Planning Board approves a traditional subdivision plan at the
preliminary subdivision hearing , the subdivider shall have the option of
submitting a cluster plan prior to final plat approval w it r-may be c-orrsi -er

Section 32 . Number of Dwelling Units Permitted
The number of dwelling units permitted in a clustered residential subdivision
may in no case exceed the number otherwise permitted , in the Planning
Board ' s judgment , by the applicable sections of the Town of Ithaca Zoning
Ordinance . The Planning Board may restrict the subdivider to a lesser
number of dwelling units if , in the Planning Board ' s judgment , particular
conditions of the site warrant such restriction . Notwithstanding the forego -
ing , the density of dwelling units in a clustered development shall not exceed
3 . 5 units per gross acre in Residence Districts R15 and R30 .
19
FOR TOWN BOARD CONSIDERATION
To determine the number of dwelling units permitted to be clustered pursuant
to Section 281 , the Planning Board may require the subdivider , as part of the
sketch plat review process , to prepare a conventional subdivision plat which
meets all standards of the Zoning Ordinance , subdivision regulations , and
Town of Ithaca highway and open space regulations .
The Planning Board may exclude areas from the sketch plat which , in its
opinion , are unsuitable for construction of the proposed housing because of
excessive slopes , poor drainage , or other considerations which may be injuri-
ous to the health , safety , and welfare of the community .
Considerations which the Planning Board may use in order to limit the number ,
of dwelling units or lots which may be developed in any clustered subdivision
include but are not limited to :
a ) will such a development be substantially and materially injurious to
the ownership , use and enjoyment of other property in the vicinity
or neighborhood ;
b ) will such a development impede the orderly development of land in
the vicinity or neighborhood , and will such use be appropriate in
appearance and in harmony with the existing or intended character
of such land in the vicinity or neighborhood ;
c ) will the street system and off- street parking facilities handle the
expected traffic in a safe and efficient manner and not place an
undue burden on existing roads ;
d ) will the natural surface drainageways continue to work effectively ;
e ) are water and sewerage or waste disposal facilities adequate ;
f ) is the environmental quality of the proposal , in terms of site plan -
ning , design , and landscaping , compatible with the character of the
neighborhood ;
g ) are lot area , access , parking , and loading facilities sufficient for
the proposed activities ;
h ) what effect will the density of such clustered construction and use
have on the appearance and maintenance of open spaces in ' a neigh -
borhood .
The number of units allowed in any clustered subdivision shall not exceed the
number determined by the Planning Board as shown on the sketch plat . . The
Planning Board may allow the subdivider to cluster the permitted number of
dwelling units in detached , semi - detached , attached , or multi- storey struc -
tures .
No more than six semi- detached , attached , or multi- storey dwelling units shall
be permitted to be clustered in any one _ structure , nor shall that structure be
more than three storeys high , including the basement or cellar . Distances
between structures in the clustered subdivision shall be no less than thirty
20
FOR TOWN BOARD CONSIDERATION
( 30 ) feet . No building shall be more than three storeys . In any event , no
building shall be more than thirty ( 30 ) feet in height .
Section 33 . Buffer Areas
Buffer areas shall be at least thirty ( 30 ) feet wide between the buildings in a
clustered subdivision and the boundary of adjacent property in residential ,
public . use , and agricultural zoning districts , and at least twenty ( 20 ) feet
wide between the buildings in a clustered subdivision and the boundary of
adjacent property in commercial , industrial , or other zoning districts .
Parkland deeded to the Town of Ithaca pursuant to these subdivision regu -
lations shall have a buffer of at least twenty ( 20 ) feet . The Planning Board
may require a buffer at least forty ( 40 ) feet wide between the edge of the
pavement of any public road in a clustered subdivision and any adjoining
property . Notwithstanding the foregoing , the Planning Board may require a
buffer of at least one hundred and twenty five ( 125 ) feet between a communi -
ty center and the boundary of adjacent properties in any zoning district .
The Planning Board may also , al: its discretion , require the subdivider to
provide adequate landscaping within the buffer area . Parking shall be for -
bidden in the buffer area .
Section 34 . Regulation of Exterior Characteristics
The Planning Board may , in the course of subdivision plat review , regulate
the exterior characteristics of any proposed structures or uses in order that
the development shall be , in the Judgment of the Planning Board , compatible
with the surrounding community . Factors which may be considered in this
judgment include , but are not limil: ed to :
A ) the view accorded present owners of property , or legal users of public
property , in the vicinity of the proposed clustered subdivision after
construction of the project ;
B ) the size , shape , color , and materials used in the proposed structures
and other areas ;
C ) ambient noise incidental to the normal activity in the project , as present -
ed , or extraordinary noise incidental to the construction of the project ;
D ) the phasing plan proposed by the subdivider , if the development is to
be built in stages ,
All chimneys , lightning rods , radio and television antennae , passive or active
solar collectors , or other similar appendages which may be permitted in the
clustered subdivision shall be detailed in the subdivision plat , map or other
documents . These details shall be noted in the conditions of final approval
and must be made available to all prospective buyers of property . in the
subdivision . The Planning Board may require a subdivider to provide a
master antennae or provide cable television service for the development if , in
the Board ' s opinion , the location of the proposed development would make the
use of separate antennae by individual homeowners unsightly or impractical .

FOR TOWN BOARD CONSIDERATION
Section 35 . Restriction of Unrelated Persons
As a condition of approval of a clustered subdivision plan , the Planning
Board may restrict or require the restriction of the number of unrelated
persons who may be allowed to live in any dwelling unit or in the clustered
development as a whole to a number less than that permitted by the Zoning
Ordinance . These restrictions may be made conditions of preliminary or final
approval or placed on the subdivision plat or included in the approval of any
