The Supervisor went on to say that we have some excellent video tape of the aftermath of the Octopus accident . We also have some excellent tapes of the congestion during the peak hour situation . Newsletter ® We are getting a good response to our inquiry as to sewer and water extensions . As might be expected , many of the property owners on West Haven who do not have sewer would like it .

Beeners went on to highlight her report by saying that they would try to cut costs by using used material where ever possible .

In Eastern Heights Park they propose to finish the parking area and driveway from Tudor Road plus restore the five parking spaces along with completing the drainage , playfields , blacktopping the trail into the woods , landscaping improvements , more seeding and install nature trail signs . The Village of Cayuga Heights did not accept the original design of the Pleasant Grove Road Recreation Way . The Village is now designing a six foot detached path along the side of the road along with partial road relocation . Ms . Beeners continued , we propose to topdress certain areas of the playfields and cut brush at the Cayuga Heights Ccmnunity Center , Forest Home Walkway , complete steps , paint and landscaping . The Town would assume responsibility for the playfields at the Coddington Road CCMmunity Center and then designate them as Town playfields .

Additional work on restoring the vegetation ® for the Burns Road Phase I project , then the seeding of Phase II when it is completed . We will be doing maintenance and making repairs around the pump stations , a continuation of last year . Also , the inspection of the water line project for plantings restoration after the contractor has completed his work . We will not be able to do any of the work , that was budgeted for the Inlet Valley Park below the first ladder this year . Ms . Beeners went on to say that a budget amendment may be needed to accomplish the work on the driveway and parking area at the Eastern Heights Park . She mentioned that she was hoping to obtain information on historic buildings and plantings that could be historic landmarks . Town Board 11 May 13 , 1985 Town Supervisor Desch asked Ms . Beeners if she was coming back for approval of the Eastern Heights Park project or are you asking for authority to move ahead ? Town Engineer Fabbroni responded , we need to have the program approved , then we will come back for budget amendments if necessary . We are looking for your approval for the work program . Supervisor Desch remarked that it would be necessary to come back to the Board for approval of the Cayuga Heights Walkway . RESOLUTION NO , 77 Motion by Supervisor Desch ; seconded by Councilman Cramer , RESOLVED , that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby approves the 1985 Parks Work Plan as presented , and FURTHER RESOLVED , that if the need arises for budget amendments , they will be presented to the Board at a later date , and FUR'T'HER BE IT RESOLVED , that upon the completion of the design , by the Village of Cayuga Heights , of the Pleasant Grove Road Recreation Way this proposal will require Town Board approval . Councilman Cramer questioned the $18 , 000 budgeted for the Inlet Valley project . Town Engineer Fabbroni responded that the problem is with the City ' s purpose of the property . He went on to say that they would be coming back to the Board , in the fall , to ask that the funds be carried over for a more aggressive completion in the 1986 . Susan Beeners stated that the City was talking about appointing a committee to review the whole project and that she had been asked to help with the review . (Desch , Kugler , Raffensperger , Cramer , McPeak , Howell and Bartholf voting Aye . Nays - none ) . GRAPHIC ARTS BIKEWAY LICENSE Susan Beeners gave a brief history of the Town ' s East Ithaca Recreation Way section between Maple Avenue and Game Farm Road which was completed last summer and has become a popular route for Town residents and the Cornell Community . Major users of the trail are commuters who walk or bike to campus , runners , and riders on horse from the Cornell Polo facilities . A three foot cinder path was constructed adjacent to the five foot oil and stone trail from the former railroad bridge over Judd Falls Road to Game Farm Road , at the request of the manager of the Oxley Polo Arena , who has agreed to assume maintenance of that path . An extension of this trail from the railroad bridges to the ® intersection of Judd Falls Road and Route 366 is clearly needed , as evidenced by the muddy foot and horse paths which leave the trail and cross north on the lawns of the Graphic Arts Services Building , The Town proposes that an eight foot trail , conposed of a five foot wide oil and stone path , adjoined by a three foot gravel and cinder path , be constructed from the existing East Ithaca Recreation Way at the west end of the former railroad trestles , over lands of the Cornell Graphic Arts Services Building to Route 366 , with the condition that Cornell University share in financing trail construction , supply cinders , retain liability coverage and assume maintenance of this trail spur . Town Board 12 May 13 , 1985 RESOLUTION N0 , 78 Motion by Councilman Kugler , seconded by Councilman McPeak , WHEREAS , the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca by resolution on April 8 , 1985 , gave conceptual approval that the Town share with Cornell University the construction costs to provide for the construction of an all-weather trail from Route 366 to the East Ithaca Recreation Way through the Cornell Graphic Arts property , and further resolved that the maintenance and liability for the trail be assigned to Cornell University and legal access be given to the Town of Ithaca , ® NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED , by the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca , that the Town Supervisor be authorized to enter into and execute an agreement with Cornell University , as approved by the Town Attorney , that would provide legal access to the property and Town construction of the trail from Route 366 to the East Ithaca Recreation Way at a cost not to exceed $ 2 , 000 with all additional cost , maintenance , and liability to be borne by Cornell University . ( Desch , Kugler , Raffensperger , Cramer , McPeak , Howell and Bartholf voting Aye . Nays - none ) . PERSONS TO BE HEARD David Tyler , attorney for Rocco Lucente stated that Mr . Lucente was questioning Item # 7 of Local Law No . 4 , 1984 which reads "At least one dwelling unit in each of the structures , after any conversion as provided herein , or after a sale or other transfer of title by Rocco Lucente or his executors or administrators , shall be owner-occupied ; such owner , however , must qualify as a household ( or family ) as defined herein . If any such structure is sold or title is otherwise transferred by Rocco Lucente , such new owner or transferee of title must occupy at least one dwelling unit in any such structure within 13 months of acquiring title , if , thereafter , a structure is not occupied by the owner then the structure may be occupied only as permitted by the regulations of a Residential District R- 15 for a two-family dwelling as if this amendment to the Zoning Ordinance had not been adopted " . Mr . Tyler went on to say that this paragraph does not address the question of rentals before the sale of the property . He noted that how Mr . Lucente stands , is not included in this paragraph . Mr . Tyler stated that Mr . Lucente did not feel one year rental was sufficient time for him. Mr . Tyler went on to noted that there was another issue that was not addressed . This is a university town and facility take sabatic leaves , maybe the rental issue should be two years out of ten years . If the owner is forced to leave town , he would be forced to leave the dwelling vacant while out of town . A three year period would be optimal to get the units marketable . Mr . Rocco Lucente stated that he was asking the Board to allow him to do a good job converting the buildings . One or two years won ' t ® make a difference , the best job of conversion can be done in three years . He stated that if allowed three years he could be more fussy who he sold the property to and more fussy about finishing the landscaping , etc . Mr . Lucente ' s attorney Mr . Tyler noted that if Mr . Lucente were given more time he could find buyers with larger down payments . He went on to say that people who make larger down payments are better persons . Town Board 13 May 13 , 1985 Supervisor Desch noted that Mr . Lucente had three units under construction and that there was a need for Mr . Lucente to address the concerns of the Building Inpsector in his letter to Mr . Lucente dated April 15 , 1985 . He asked Mr . Cartee to review the violations . Mr . Cartee listed the following violations : 120 Sapsucker Woods Road ( 1 ) Complete the conversion of the two-bedroom unit . ( 2 ) Provide self-closing mechanism cap fire doors from the garage to furnace room and garage to main house . ( 3 ) Complete plantings as paer site plan . ( 4 ) Conplete work on yard and driveway and designate parking space as per site plan . ( 5 ) Empty garage to provide parking for occupants in the two-bedroam units . ( 6 ) The vacant two-bedroom unit shall remain vacant until such time as the Town and your office resolve an interpretation of Local Law # 4-1984 . 218 Sapcucker Woods Road ( 1 ) Provide self-closing mechanism on fire doors from the garage to furnace room and garage to main house . ( 2 ) Complete plantings as per site plan . ( 3 ) Complete work on yard and driveway and designate parking space as per yard site . ( 4 ) Empty garage to provide parking for occupants in the two-bedroom units . ( 5 ) Remove dumpster from front yard . 226 Sapsucker Woods Road ( 1 ) Provide self-closing mechanisms on fire doors from the garage to furnace room and garage to main house . ( 2 ) Complete plantings as per site plan . ( 3 ) Complete work on yard and driveway and designate parking space as per site plan . ( 4 ) Empty garage to provide parking for occupants in the two-bedroam units . ( 5 ) Remove dumpster from front yard . Mr . Cartee went on to say that the buildings had been ccmpleted and occupied without his knowledge or inspection . He went on to say that as he had stated in his letter to Mr . Lucente , no building permits would be issued for the conversion of the remaining eleven units until the Town and Mr . Lucente resolved the interpretation of Local Law # 4 - 1984 . Mr . Lucente responded that he had already done quite a bit to eliminate the violations . The garage sheds are all made and he had purchased the closers for the fire doors . ® Mr . Cartee noted that in his discussions with Mr . Lucente he had noticed the realtors signs . Mr . Lucente responded that all fourteen properties had been listed . Mr . Tyler noted that there is a good buyers market right now . Councilwoman Raffensperger stated that she did not understand what Portion of Local Law #4 - 1984 needed to be changed . Town Board 14 May 13 , 1985 Town Attorney John Barney responded that under Local Law # 4 - 1984 , the owner has thirteen months to move into the property as purchased . Mr . Lucente is asking that the law be changed so that once the conversion is done he be allowed three years to rent before sale . Supervisor Desch responded that the questions is , under the present law , can Mr . Lucente rent the property and for what period of time . He noted that he felt three years was too long of a period . The Board must decide is they want to allow Mr . Lucente to rent the property until it is sold and if they choose to allow the rental then for what period of time . If the Board decides to consider allowing rentals then a public hearing will need to be scheduled . ® Mr . Lucente stated that he would like regulations ccnparable to Conmonlands where owner occupancy is required twelve out of thirty-six months . Councilwoman Raffensperger asked if the Board allows Mr . Lucente to have thirteen months rental , then is the new owner also allowed thirteen months rental ? Town Attorney Barney responded , that is up to the Board . You could specify thirteen months rental after the Certificate of Occupancy is issued . Councilman McPeak remarked , thirteen months doesn ' t seem like a long time . There is another apartment complex soon coming on the market . Supervisor Desch then appointed a committee of Councilwoman Howell and Councilman McPeak to go through the proposals , discuss them with staff and the Town Attorney and then report back to the Board at the June meeting . BURNS ROAD PHASE II Town Engineer Fabbroni stated that he had spoken to the landowner in New Jersey and that he was asking for fair value . He went on to say that the Town would be getting $125 , 000 from Safer-0ff Systems to complete the work on Burns Road . The project money comes with strings attached , however , the Town of Ithaca is one of four ccmTunities still receiving money . This will allow us to tie the timing of construction with the extension of Park Lane . With fill from Park Lane , there will be less disturbance to the land . In soneways this improves the favor of the project , as far as the landowner is concerned . The Town Engineer went on to say that the Town would be doing the grading work but the State will do the paving as the State has a higher standard for blacktop for intersections . Supervisor Desch asked what the total cost would be ? Town Engineer Fabbroni responded , we estimate the total cost to be ® $85 , 000 and we will be receiving $ 125 , 000 . Councilman Kugler asked if this included the land purchase cost? Town Engineer Fabbroni responded no , land purchase is not eligible for Safer-Off Systems monies . Supervisor Desch stated that the Board needs to know if the budgeted funds are adequate ? Town Board 15 May 13 , 1985 Town Engineer Fabbroni responded , there is no doubt that the funds budgeted will be adequate , infact if all goes well we should have approximately $20 , 000 unexpended .

Town Engineer Fabbroni responded the resolution only shows that the Town recognizes the cost of the project . (Desch , Kugler , Raffensperger , Cramer , McPeak , Howell and Bartholf voting Aye .

He went on to say that about a year ago the Board passed a resolution to install a storm sewer and that this would becom part of the agreement . Supervisor Desch noted that the drainage project would also dovetail with the state project .

The State of New York Constitution , Article 5 -G of the General Municipal Law , and Executive Law §381 grant local governments the power to cooperate in the enforcement of the Code . 39 Ithaca employs a full time Building Inspector . 49 Ulysses has no Building Inspector , in large part because the number of applications for building permits in Ulysses has not been enough to necessitate such an employee in the past . 5 . With the Act and Code in effect , Ulysses requires the services of an inspector and wishes to avail itself of the services of the Ithaca Building Inspector , presently Lewis Cartee and to appoint the Ithaca Inspector as the Ulysses Inspector . Therefore , Ulysses has requested Ithaca to provide the services of its Building Inspector in consideration of the agreements and provisions set forth below: TENS 1 .
