can be done about the billboards.

AWAM BID ON PHASE 11 OF THE 1984 WATER IMPROVEMMTS
Town Engineer Fabbroni presented his Engineer's Report cn the Phase
II 1984 Improvements to the Town Board. Attached to the minutes is
a copy of the tabulation of bids for "Construction Of Water Main
Phase 11 1984 Improvements" as opened October 31, 1984. After
checking bid extensions, LaFayette Pipeline, Inc. , Route 11,
LaFayette, New York 13084, is the low bidder with a Total Base Bid
Price of $338,845.00. LaFayette Pipeline, Inc. , successfully
ccmpleted the most recent Coddington Road watermain extension.
Other completed municipal projects listed on the Bid Proposal show
that the dollar amount is well within the usual limits of projects
undertaken by LaFayette. The company is registered in Onondaga
County, New York, with 50% stockholders Matthew L. Reynolds and
Arnold E. White. LaFayette is prepared to start work as early as
1985 as weather permits with work expected to take approximately
ninety (90) days excluding cleanup and seeding.
Based on the above, I recommend tha the "Construction Of Water Main
Phase II 1984 Improvements" Contract be awarded to LaFayette
Pipeline, Inc. , Route 11, LaFayette, New York 13084. The
® following budget for establishment of a capital project account is

Supervisor Desch asked what time period would get the system
operational?
® Town Engineer Fabbroni responded, around July of 1985.
The Town Engineer went on to say that twelve bids had been
received. The 360 day leway was a factor in making the bids
competitve.
The Supervisor noted that LaFayette was the same firm that did the
Coddington Road water extensions.
The Town Engineer stated that it looked like the $25,000 in Revenue
Sharing Funds would not be needed for this project, he went on to
say that we may wish to roll it over as a contingency fund for
other projects.
Supervisor Desch remarked that the Water Fund was tight.

ENVIRMWrAL ASSESSMENT FORM ON COGIINERATION PROJECT, CORNELT
HEATING PLANT
Councilman McPeak noted that the noise impact being minimal was the
only suprise to him.
Town Board 7 November 8, 1984
Supervisor Desch responded that Cornell has pretty well committed
themselves to keeping the noise level as low as possible, not only
for the community but to protect their employees.
Councilman Cramer noted his concern with #13 "Impact on
Transportation" stating that Cornell might wish to consider an
alternate route, Route 13 and Route 366 to Dryden instead of the
State Street, and use the rails in Dryden. He stated the present
route would have an impact on State Street, however, he realized
this was a City problem not a Town problem.

costs were quite a bit higher on the railroad run through Owego
® then through Sayre.

CONTRA .V WITH TOM OF ULYSSES FOR BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES
Supervisor Desch stated that a proposed contract for Building
Inspection services for the Town of Ulysses had been sent to the
® Town of Ulysses for their consideration. We expect the contract to
be ready for Town of Ithaca Board consideration at our December
meeting.
He went on to say that several meetings had been held with Town
Attorney Buyoucos, Building Inspector Cartee, Councilman Bartholf
and himself to make sure the Town of Ithaca was not subsidizing the
Town of Ulysses. It costs $35.00 per inspection, and the Town of
Ulysses has been paying $25.00 per inspection. Also, the number of
inspections is greater than the Town of Ulysses anticipated,
however, Building Inspector Lewis Cartee feels that he can handle
RF
Town Board 9 November 8, 1984
this without it being a burden on him. Mr. Cartee is also
attending some evening meetings and the Town of Ulysses should work
out a payment schedule for these, inaddition to the inspection fee.
BUDGET AMENDMOTl'S
Supervisor Desch stated that it was not necessary to pay the Morse
Chain reassessment judgement until 1985, but because of interest
charges, he stated that he felt it would be better to•pay part of
the settlement this year.

KING ROAD SPEED LIMIT
Supervisor Desch noted the following t-wo letters received from
residents of King Road requesting a reduction in the speed limit on
King Raid:
"As a family of four children we are very concerned that some sort
of limitation be placed on automobile speed on East King Road,
particularly between 138 and 171 East King Road. We strongly urge
an enforced lowered speed limit.
We live at 162 East King Road, just over the crest of the road's
hill. The road also bends at this point. It is not possible for
drivers to see a safe distance over the crest either going down or
coming up the hill, and yet every day cars cue tearing up and down
our road at frightening speeds. There have been two bad accidents
(both one-car accidents - both drivers were going too fast and lost
control) within yards of our house since last spring.
Though we have a fenced yard, two of our children are not old
enough to understand the dangers of the road. Our two older
children use the road to travel by bicycle. Their father jogs
along the side of the road. We exchange babysitting, most of the
children involved with the exchange are, again, too young to
understand the dangers of the road. Our cat was killed, our dog
has been hit. We are only one of several families and other road
users affected by the carelessness of drivers along this stretch of
road.
® Before a child, jogger, pedestrian is hit, we implore you to take
immediate action. The road does not belong only to speeding
automobiles. It belongs to all who use it. It must be made safe
for all."
The letter was dated November 5, 1984, signed by Dale A. Hathaway
and Khafiya E. Hathaway, 162 East King Road.
The second letter reads as follows:
z�
Town Board 11 November 8, 1984
"We are writing this letter concerning the posting of an
appropriate speed limit sign, or signs, in the one hundred block of
East King Road, Town of Ithaca.
We have been told that the present speed limit is assumed to be
fifty-five miles per hour since there is no limit posted. We have
deep reservations about this. As parents of yaoung children who use
the road to visit friends, tit feel scmthing must be done.
The rising frequency of serious accidents along this long
straight-away reinforce the urgency of our plea. Granted alcohol
has played a part in some of these incidents, we feel that the
natural topography of the road is the main culprit.
® we realize the posting of speed limit signs and 'Children Playing'
signs won't ccnT>letely solve the problem, but they will certainly
be a step in the right direction. We would also like to bring to
the attention of the 'Town Board that the shoulders of King road are
narrow and that the lives of pets have been lost on this road.
Our recommended speed limit would be forty-five miles per hours."
The letter was received November 7, 1984 and signed Thank you,
Concerned parents.
Supervisor Desch stated that because of the low density of the
neighborhood, the chances of getting the speed limit lowered are
not very pranising. He went on to say that he would write to the
Tompkins County Commissioner of Highways and also respond to the
two letters to let the people know how the system works.
Supervisor Desch then asked the Highway Superintendent to take a
look at the signs on the road. He went on to say that the County
would have to put up any new signs, as this is a County road.
Councilwi< nan Raffensperger asked about the possibility of putting
up "Caution" signs.
PUBLIC HEARING - FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING EMS
Proof of posting and publication notice of a Public Hearing to
consider the proposed use of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds having
been presented by the Town Clerk, the Supervisor opened the public
hearing.
Supervisor Desch presented the proposed use of Federal Revenue
Sharing Funds.
Records Restoration ($2,000)
This is a continuation of the program initiated this year to
properly clean, repair and store our oldest records. This level of
alloction will enable us to complete the job in more years.
Burns Road/Slaterville Road Intersection ($35,000)
® The next phase of the Burns Road project involves the construction
of this intersection on a new alignment. The work will be done in
conjunction with NYSDOT and their project to improve the drainage
and paving on Route 79. The estimate is very rough at this point
for the design has yet to be completed.
Highway Machinery Fund ($35,000)
The 10-Year Plan calls for the replacement of the 1972 F-600 Ford
truck. Rather than include the full estimate cost of dollars in
the operating budget and thereby inflate the annual appropriation
program, we continue the practice of considering equipment
Town Board 12 November 8, 1984
replacement as a high priority for Federal Revenue Sharing funds.
This will allow some 1985 year-end balance to go into machinery
reserve in 1986 and possibly appropriate part-town unexpended
balances to meet the heavy demands expected in the two to three
years ahead.
South Hill Fire Station ($10,000)
This amount is being left in this line item in anticipation of the
need for site planning and design funds late in 1985, following
completion of the joint City/Town Master Plan. It may be desirable
to utilize a part of this money to assist in the master plan
development. We will know within the next two to three months.
Major Federal Revenue Sharing appropriations may be needed in 1986
and 1987.
Inlet Valley Park Development ($18.000)
With the City funding the acquisition of the land, the Town
anticipates the development of an agreement wherein the Town would
construct playing fields and other facilities. This allocation is
about one-half of the money to do all of the Phase I development
recommended in the Park and Open Space Plan update. It may be
desirable to allocate a similar amount in 1986.
Pine Tree Road Tank ($32,000)
The recent surcharge increase in combination with this allocation
will enable us to avoid further delay in the repair and painting of
the Pine Tree and Hungerford Hill tanks. In our judgment it is
prudent to bid these two project together to minimize mobilization
costs. In future years, th surcharge revenue should be sufficient
to handle the annual program. We will know better in one year.
Water System Contingency ($25,000)
The recent bids on the 1984 water improvements are now expected to
enable us to pursue the best alternative to serve West Haven Road
namely, the 12" main from Bundy to Mecklenburg Road at little or no
cost above the authorized borrowing. A safe contingency does not
exist, however, without increasing the borrowing unless the
proposed appropriation is made. These funds may be available for
reallocation next year or for modest further extensions as the
Board deems appropriate.
Forest Home Road ($5,000)
An allocation is desirable to deter further erosion and to protect
the remaining roadway pending a decision on the future of the
roadway.
As no one present wished to speak on this utter, the Supervisor
closed the public hearing.
RESOLUI'I N No. 196
Motion by Councilman Cramer; seconded by Councilman McPeak,
RFSOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby approves
the following proposed uses of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds for
• 1985:
Records Restoration $ 2,000
Burns Road/Slaterville Road Intersection $35,000
Highway Machinery Fund $35,000
South Hill Fire Station $10,000

CABLE MMMISSION
Councilman McPeak stated that somehow he became the Town of
Ithaca's representative on the County Cable Commission. He noted
that recently passed federal legislation decontrolled some of the
authority local governments had over cable television. If the City
of Ithaca goes ahead with their plans to cancel the franchise they
may loose some of the rights they now have, including control of
price. Prices could go higher.
® Supervisor Desch noted that ACC is filing for a cable TV franchise
in the Town of Enfield. He noted that this might help the Town of
Ithaca residents of Hayts Road who have wanted cable in the past,
however, the price of installation was too high.
BOLTON POINT WARRAN`T'S
RESOLUTION NO. 197
Motion by Supervisor Desch; seconded by Councilman Kugler,
RESOLVED, that the Bolton Point Warrants dated November 8, 1984, in
the Operating Aocount are hereby approved, in the amount of

payment.

Councilwoman Raffensperger questioned as to the Town involvement
with the new road scheduled to go through the hospital parking lot.
Town Engineer Fabbroni responded that the route the hospital is
objecting to is the one they preferred before the hospital changed
from a County hospital to a private hospital. Subsequently, it was
approved by the County Planning Board, the Public Works Committee
09
Town Board 14 November 8, 1984
and the Board of Representatives. At the tune, the County people
felt the nursing facilities were not expendable. Then when the

Dear Messrs. Relihan and Shaw:
FOREST HOZ*rE DRIVE
Commencing• in October of 1982 , 1 have received several pieces of
correspondence and material, concerning the above .subject. These include the
Goober 8, 1982 Letter from Mr. Relihan and his 'Letters of April. 22, 1983 and
t4av 4, 1983 and the Mayor' s letters of April '5, 1983 and .:uly 1 , 1Q83. in
addi.tion, when I was in Ithaca recently, I :.lade iiel_d observations of the
highwav, i.n auestion.
I must first caution you both that my opinion .s nct aindins, in any court
of ,Law sense but it s teased on .•ears ai experience ir. legal aspects or
establishment of public highways and .he abandonments thereof.
It is my conclusion based on the materials which you submitted and which
I have examined and the observations L have made, as well as review of the
relevant court cases, that Forest Rome Drive has beer. .a public highway in the
normal sense of such a status since the termination of the Cortland and Seneca
Turnpike Company. This conclusion is based on the following rationale.
Although there does not appear to he any records or the dissolution of
the Cortland and Seneca Turnpike Company, the right::-of-wav for this type of
highway by the generaj. ti,rnp kc tatur.e devolve upon the various towns,
villages, t:ounties and/or the state through which .;t ran to be held in trust-
for the People of the State ns a pub.lac highway. 1, find no case where the
termination of a -imi.l.ar turnpike caused a reversion to private interests.
Therefore, the highway in question, namely For#�st home: Drive as a portion of
the Cortland and Senecas Turnpike Company, first devolved to the Town/Village
and »hen the area became part of the city it became a city street..

VETERAN'S EXEMPTION
Supervisor Desch stated that the believed the Town of Ithaca had
more veterans as property owners than the City of Ithaca or the
Villages in Tompkins County.
® Councilman Kugler remarked that the City has more businesses in
their tax base than the Town.
Town Attorney .lames Buyoucos stated that the Town had three
options. Do nothing, and the State Law with its maximum permitted
exemption would apply. The Town may adopt a local law rejecting
the exemption. Or it might wish to pass a local law granting the
increased exemptions but with the option to reduce the maxbnun
amount allowed. Could be $12,000, $9,000, or $6,000 for any
veteran. A veteran serving in a combat zone could add $8,000.
This could be reduced to $6,000 or $4,000. A disabled veteran
would be allowed an additional $40,000. This amount could be
reduced to $30,000 or $20,000.
Councilwoman Raffensperger questioned the possibility of conflict
of interest on the veteran's exemption. She noted that the County
Attorney had told the members of the Board of Representatives they
could vote on the issue but they must file a letter of conflict of
interest.
PERSONS TO BE HEARD
Andrew McElwee, 123 Judd Falls Road distributed to the Board
members, a copy of a letter dated July 19, 1983 to Walter J.
Relihan, Jr. University Counsel, Cornell University and to the
Honorable William R. Shaw, Mayor of the City of Ithaca from Darrell
W. Harp, Assistant Commissioner, Legal Affairs, State of New York,
Department of Transportation, explaining the history of Forest Home
Drive. (Copy attached) .
Mr. McElwee went on to explain that Forest Home Drive is used by
about 1,000 cars a day in the winter when the road have not been
plowed. Forest Home Drive: is the only way in and out of Forest
Horne quite often during the winter months. By closing this road,
it will only aggravate traffic in the remaineder of the community.
It adds additional cars going by my house.
Mr. McElwee went on 'to say that the road, right now is not in too
bad shape. Most of the holes have been patched. However, he noted
that he cannot remember the City doing any major repairs to the
road in the last twenty-five years. When scueone put in a sewer
® line the road was patched which now seem to be the portion of the
road surface. If the Town Board and the residents don't address
this problem now, it will be closed even if not legally abandoned.
I'd like to see the Town of Ithaca do this (close) to sane of the
other roads around Town and see what would happen. He again said
that if anything were to be done, it must be done immediately to
stop the closing of Forest Hone Drive.
Mr. McElwee noted that the Forest Home Civic Association was
holding a meeting tonight. I'm against the closing of Forest Home
Drive and Forest Home is against the closing of Forest Home Drive.
Rq
There is no legal process under which there is an automatic abandonment
of the public highway status of a highway even when there is a lack of
maintenance by the municipality for a protracted period of time. Similarly, a
public highway does not change its status to a private road by the action of a
private entity in relationship to any operation, control or maintenance of the
highway. Basically, the old principal that "once a highway, always a highway"
applies to the' instant situation and, unless the city can demonstrate that the
highway was abandoned by either the Town/Village or the city under a legal
procedure (e.g. Section 205 of the Highway Law) , the city is responsible for
Forest Home Drive within the city limits.
In view of the fact that numerous vehicles use this highway, the facts
which would support- abandonment do not exist. Also, it should be pointed out
that as a public highway, the responsibility for its maintenance and repair
within the priorities, manpower and fiscal resources of the city is the
responsibility of the city and if that duty is not being met there is
potentially the exposure to liability for failure to fulfill the maintenance
and repair duties and obligat>ons.
The one remaining aspect of the matter that is very critical and one for
which I relied very heavily upon the work performed by the University is the
question of whether or not Forest Nome Drive is, in fact, overlayed over the
old Cortland and Seneca Turnpike or is a slight modification or alteration
thereof but still contintied its status as a public highway. The University
review indicates the common center line of the old turnpike and Forest Nome
Drive except in the area of the lake. My field review indicates that
undoubtedly the location of the road was altered slightly by. the construction
of Beebe Lake. If this was intended to be the substitute highway, which
apparently it is, of the old Cortland and Seneca Turnpike, then the public
highwav status of Forest Horse Drive was not altered.
I examined the University's position relative to the highway becoming a
public highway by use. In view of the fact that it was my conclusion that it
was a public highway upon the dissolution of :he Cortland and Seneca Turnpike,
there is no real need to examine the facts under which a highway becomes a
public highway by use. However, the rationale used by the University is very
accurate .and. since there '_s no phvsical barring of public use of the highway
by the University, the factors of municipal maintenance and control of the
highway, while important, do not overcome the overt public use of the
;aci.lity. Therefore, if it is concluded that I am incorrect as to the public
highway status From the turnpike era the Gniversity position on public
ownership would still be correct as to its public highway nature because of
the use situation.
So that there is no misunderstanding as to what T considered, I would
like to point out a few additional factors that were pointed otit in the
materials submitted to me:
(a) The Official Order 0750 ,-dated Vebruary 5, 11,974, which turned over to
the Towns of Ithaca and Dryden State Higt1 av 681 , would have normally
terminated at the city i.ine since the State Highway ended at the City line
cinder the provisions of Section 344 of the Highway Law. by statute, state
highways within a city must be specifically authorized. There are a few
%xceptions set forth in Section 344 and the main state highway authorizations
in Cities are found in Article 128 of the Highway Law relative to arterial
highways. The letter from Charleca Ames dated October. 26 , 1381 has no real
basis to establish the public highway status relative to the highway inside
the city as the Department had no jurisdiction over that portion of highway.
The fact that it is not on the city street inventory when it could have been
listed as such does not take it out of public highway status.
(b) One of the major points of the city's memorandum relates to the
presumption of a street being a private street. I only call to your attention
the fact that when an area became part of the city, the status of the street
remained the same. In other words, if it was a public highway in either the
old Village of Ithaca; the Town of Ithaca or the Town of Ulysses, then when
the city took over the area or incorporated the area, the highway remained a
public highway.
I trust that the above will be of some assistance to all parties in
resolving this matter. I appreciate the patience which you have extended to
me so that I could find some time to fully consider the matter, as well as do a
field review.
Very truly yours,

Town Board 18 November 8, 1984
Supervisor Desch responded that he had written to Mayor Marcham to
inform him of the closing and to remind him of the impact the
closing of Forest Home Drive would have on traffic at the Ccn munity
Corners. The Supervisor stated that he suggested to Mayor Marcham
that the Village Board might want the Town Board to take a stand on
the issue.
The Supervisor went on to say that the mayor of the City of Ithaca
had called a courtesy meeting to inform the Town of Ithaca and
Cornell University of their decision to close the meeting because
of liability. He went on to say that he had informed the City, at
the meeting, that the Town would be opposed to the closing because
of the impact on Forest Hcme. He stated that he did not know haw
® Cornell feels about the closing.
Town Attorney James Buyoucos stated that his office had started to
look into the closing matter today. He went on to say that at this
point, no official action has been taken by the City. Barriers
have been put up due to liability exposure, not only for the pot
holes but because of the condition of the sub-soil.
Attorney Buyoucos stated a municipality, Town, Village or City does
not have inherent powers to say they don't like a road and to just
abandon or close it. They must follow legal ways to abandon or
close a road. City laws are a little different than Town laws.
The question is, which department of the City has the authority to
abandon or close a road. He went on to say that he felt the City
of Ithaca should hold a public hearing. He also stated that he
felt the City would give the Town notice of a hearing. If a public
hearing is held, everybody should go. After this, we may have some
idea has best to proceed.
The Town Attorney, addressing Mr. McElwee, said if you want you can
remove the barriers and use the road at your own risk. I think the
City will take the position that the barriers will keep people off
the road which they believe is unsafe for people to travel.
Mr. McElwee questioned has long the City could sit on it?
Supervisor Desch remarked that the closing of the road would
require that an Environmental Assessment be caTleted, as part of
the normal procedure as this is a SEQR Type I action.
Town Attorney Buyoucos stated that he was aware of the SBM
requirement. He went on to say that he was sure the City would
hold a public hearing and advised the Board and residents of 1brest
Home to get their facts ready.
Councilwoman Raffensperger asked if the Town would take a position?
Town Attorney Buyoucos responded, we will talk about it.
Frank Shipe, 236 Forest Hcme Drive stated that he had talked to the
Mayor. Mayor Gutenberger stated that the road was closed for
safety reasons after an engineering inspection. Mr. Shipe stated
® that he had told the Mayor a year ago that the road wasn't safe and
needed repairing. Mr. Shipe remarked that he had been using the
road for 36 years and he felt the City had a moral obligation to
keep the road open, however, he did not know about a legal
obligation.
Town Attorney Buyoucos stated that he was sure the City would
follow the law and not take any steps until it interprets the
meaning of the law.

Town Board 19 November 8, 1984
Mr. McElwee asked the Supervisor if he had walked Forest Home Drive
lately? He went on to say that he had walked the road a day or so
ago and found no evidence of movement on the road. If the
shoulders had been kept clean, there would have been no problems.
KING ROAD SPEED LIMIT
Marty Newhart, 171 East King Road stated that he and several
neighbors had written a letter to the 'Ibwn Board requesting a
reduction in the speed limit on East King Road. He went on to say
that he had lived on East King Road for 35 years and that in the
block where he lived, the land was flat and the road was straight
® which was conducive for heavy feet on the gas peddle. Now, Ithaca
College, Morse Chain and National Cash are using East King Road as
a short cut to the Brooktondale area. There is a lot of high speed
traffic on our road. Ithaca College teams are using the road,
fifteen, twenty to twenty-five people at a time. We are asking
that the speed limit be reduced to 45 miles per hour.
Supervisor Desch informed Mr. Newhart that the Board had copies of
his letter and had discussed the matter earlier during the meeting.
He went on to say that the Town has no authority to set speed
limits. NYSDOT has authority to change the speed limits and they
do not highly weigh adjacent property owners concerns. They look
at accident ratio and density. Density is were we get hurt. Also,
this is a County road. However, vie will look at signage and will
request the Tompkins County Commissioner of Highways to petition
for a reduction of the speed limit. The County Commission will
look at the problem and then will either reccamiend or not recommend
that the State consider a reduction of the speed limit. The State
will then do their own survey.
Tom Wickendon, 138 East King Road that there are now thirteen
children living in the area with no sidewalks. There is a more
density of children than there every was before. Hope the density
study takes into account the number of kids.
Supervisor Desch responded that usually if a road is not developed
on both sides then the State considers a reduction in speed limit
as unjustified. The Supervisor went on to say that it won't happen
in your case, but we have actually had the State increase the speed
limit when we requested a decrease in the speed limit.
Mr. Newhart asked if the Town had ever had a request from anyone
for wider shoulders on other roads in the Town?
Supervisor Desch responded yes, but usually there is more traffic
on the road than what you have on your road.
