"Section 59 . Trailers . Trailer camps or parks and trailer or mobile homes for occupancy shall be prohibited in all districts except Residence District R5 and except as follows ,s . . . " This law takes effect inmediately . • Town Planner Peter Lovi stated that earlier in the year an individual in the Town indicated his desire to enlarge his trailer • park which is presently located in the Town of Ithaca . This prompted the Planning Board to think about trailer parks in the Town of Ithaca and the need for a comprehensive study plan . A comprehensive study plan was then ounpleted by the Town staff to guide the Planning Board and the Town Board . The proposed amendments are the result of several public hearings . Supervisor Desch stated that he could not pick out the changes that were made . 0 Town Board 6 November 20 , 1985 Town Planner Lovi responded that specific language was added to cover Building Permits , Operating Permits and Health Department Permits . Also , storage space and the defining of space and size . He noted that the Planning Board had checked with the Town Attorney for specific language . Supervisor Desch questioned the fee schedule . Asking if he had 102 units , what fee would he - be required to pay for inspection ? Town Planner Lovi responded , line six of the fee schedule . 102 units times $5 . 00 each . The Building Inspector will be inspecting each lot so there is no savings of his time . • Supervisor Desch remarked , this means that 51 units the fee would be $ 400 . 00 , 26 units would be $200 . 00 and 11 units would be $ 100 . 00 . • Building Inspector Cartee responded that he was satisfied with the fee schedule , as it will take a lot of his time especially if the units are not on public water and sewer . Supervisor Desch asked the Town Engineer if he had any coments to make on the fee schedule? Town Engineer Fabbroni responded that he felt the fee schedule was reasonable . Councilman McPeak stated that he was very concerned with Section 5 , Number 1 ( Stands ) which state that "the mobile home stand shall be provided with anchors and other fixtures capable of securing and stabilizing the mobile home " . Councilman McPeak went on to say that from his travels in the south he was quite aware of what can happen to a mobile home during a hurricane if they are not securely anchored down . He questioned if the language was strong enough or should we be more firm? Building Inspector Cartee stated that he agreed with Councilman McPeak and that he felt the Town should insist that anchors be used . He went on to say that he did not think that they were required in Tanpki.ns County although he knew of a couple of mobile ham parks who , as common practice , do anchor all trailers for their people . Councilman MCPeak added , we didn ' t used to have earthquakes in this area . Town Attorney Barney questioned what the Town proposed to use as a penalty for the enforcement of requiring anchors to be installed ? Building Inspector Cartee responded that each mobile home will require a building permit and the placement of anchors can be enforced through the building permit . • SECTION 3E . , Number 1 was amended to read : Stands : The mobile home stand shall be provided with anchors • and other fixtures capable of securing and stabilizing the mobile home . These anchors shall be placed at least at each corner of the mobile home stand and shall be affixed to every mobile home in place . Councilman Kugler asked the Building Inspector if a mobile home park would have a separate septic tank for each trailer and one well? Town Board 7 November 20 , 1985 Building Inspector Cartee responded that normally one septic system or sewage system will serve two or three trailers . One well will usually supply the whole water system . The Health Department requires a minimal of 5 , 000 square feet for each mobile home . RESOLUTION N0 , 242 Motion by Councilman McPeak ; seconded by Councilwoman Raffensperger , RESOLVED , that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca will meet and conduct a public hearing on December 9 , 1985 , at 7 : 45 P .M . , at the Town Hall , 126 East Seneca Street , Ithaca , New York , to consider a • Local Law to amend the Zoning Ordinance on Mobile Homes . (Desch , Kugler , Raffensperger , McPeak , Howell and Bartholf voting Aye . Nays - none ) . • SET DATE FOR PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE ON SATELLITE DISHES The Town Attorney presented to the Town Board , for their review , the following proposed Local Law on Satellite Dishes : BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca as follows : The Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Ithaca as re-adopted , amended and revised effective February 26 , 1968 , be further amended as follows : A . Article I , Section 1 , is hereby amended by adding a new Section 35 to read as follows : 35 . A "dish antenna" is a large parabolic antenna used to receive television , radio , microwave , or other electronic signals from orbiting satellites . A "dish antenna " may also be known as a satellite antenna or satellite earth station . (A dish antenna shall be considered a structure for purposes of obtaining a building permit) . Be Article XIII is hereby amended by adding a new Section 59A to read as follows : 59A . Dish Antenna . Free-standing and roof-mounted dish antennae shall be prohibited from all districts except as follows : a . In Residential Districts R9 , R15 , and R30 , and Agricultural Districts , free-standing dish antenna with a diameter or height of 15 feet or less shall be considered a permitted accessory building and • subject to all applicable yard and height requirements . • b . In all other zoning districts , free- standing or roof mounted dish antennae with a diameter of less than six ( 6 ) feet is permitted . In such districts such antennae with a diameter of six feet or more may be permitted following site plan review by the Planning Board . In the site plan review, the Planning Board shall consider : i ) The aesthetic effect of such antenna and effect on neighborhood property values . Town Board 8 November 20 , 1985 ii) The accessability of the particular property to commercial cable television service . iii ) The location of the property and its effect on the physical effectiveness of the dish antennae . iv) Landscaping , berming and buffering . c . Except as permitted as part of the site plan approval in the preceding paragraph , no dish antenna may exceed 15 feed in height when measured • vertically from the highest exposed point of the antenna , when positioned for operation , to the bottom of the base which supports the antenna . • d . No dish antenna may be located on any portable device , including a trailer , designed principally for the transportation of such dish antenna . However , a portable or trailer mounted antenna may be placed on a lot by an antenna installer for a period not to exceed one week for the purpose of determining the most acceptable place for a permanent installation . e . A dish antenna located on a building within 200 feet of an R9 , R15 , or R30 zone shall not exceed 6 feet in height above the roof height at the building line . f . The installation of all roof-mounted dish antennae must be certified by a registered architect or professional engineer . g . No such antenna or device shall be abandoned unless the owner removes same from the premises and restores the surface on the ground to its original grade and approximately the same condition as before the antenna or device was installed . h . Applicability . Regulations on dish antennae apply to all types of installations , such as i ) Dish antennae serving more than one user cap a single lot , such as apartments in an apartment complex , mobile homes in a mobile home park , or separate business establishments in a single business building . . Dish antennae operated by commercial , • regulated cable systems . Dish antennae which serve one user on one • lot . This law shall take effect immediately . Supervisor Desch noted that the proposed local law would allow a roof mounted antenna in a mobile hone park . Town Planner Lovi responded that a mobile hone park would likely have a central type antenna . Town Board 9 November 20 , 1985 Councilman McPeak remarked that conceivably a six foot dish could be used for a trailer park . Town Planner Lovi responded yes , site plan approval would cover this , less than six foot would be approved (permitted) . Councilman McPeak went on to say that a dish is a lense and that you can get only two stations on one dish . The more stations a person wishes to receive , the more dishes they will need . If you wish to receive twelve stations you would need six dishes . Town Planner Lovi responded that a large number of dishes would fall within site plan approval . • Councilman McPeak remarked that probably every trailer would have its own six foot dish . A dish setting upon the top of a trailer , in a 60 MPH wind would tip a trailer over . • Councilwoman Raffensperger questioned why the Planning Board did not consider it necessary to do a site plan review in an R9 , R15 or R30 zone ? Town Planner Lovi responded that the Planning Board considered the dish antenna to be in the same category as an accessory building , as it would take up no more space , therefore , site plan review was not necessary . Councilwoman Raffensperger then questioned the permitting of accessory buildings in the front yard , as sometimes dish antennas are located in the front yards . She stated that she felt it would be wise to have site plan review as there would be no way to control the installation of dishes in the front yards . Building Inspector Cartee added that because of the waves in score parts of the Town , it might be necessary to locate the dish in the front yard . Councilwoman Raffensperger went on to question if front yards were the only places that were undesirable for the installation of dishes . She went on to remark that may be other places are equally undesirable . Town Attorney Barney stated that technology will bring the size of the dishes down and the Planning Board did not want to get into a position of having to review every application . Town Engineer Fabbroni noted that the Zoning Ordinance already states that except for garages , accessory buildings are only allowed in rear yards . Supervisor Desch stated that he was uncomfortable with the wording . He went on to question what , in the proposed local law tells him • that he needs to get a building permit? Town Attorney Barney responded that a dish antenna was considered • an accessory building and that language denoting this could be added to the last sentence under Article I . Section 1 , subparagraph 350, "A dish antenna shall be considered a structure for purpose of obtaining a building Permit" . RESOLUTION N0 , 243 Motion by Supervisor Desch ; seconded by Councilman Bartholf , RESOLVED , that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca will meet and conduct a public hearing at 8 : 00 P .M. , on December 9 , 1985 , at the Town Board 10 November 20 , 1985 Town Hall , 126 East Seneca Street , Ithaca , New York , to consider a local law to amend the Zoning Ordinance on Satellite Dishes . (Desch , Kugler , Raffensperger , McPeak , Howell and Bartholf voting Aye . Nays - none) . SET DATE FOR PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE ON THE DEFINITION OF STREET RIGHT-0F�WS Town Attorney Barney stated that he had a problem with the proposal to amend the Zoning Ordinance on the definition of street right-of-ways because street lines are mentioned in twelve to • fifteen different places . We may not want to keep repeating ourselves . Town Planner Lovi responded that he would prefer clarity , even if • it is nausating . Somebody obtains a copy of the Zoning Ordinance , spends money for a survey then they come in and find out they have surveyed from the street not the highway right-of-way line . Supervisor Desch suggested that the Board delay setting a date for a public hearing until a local law is drafted listing the sections where all changes were made . SET DATE FOR PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REZONING OF 921 MITCHEf1L STREET , PARCEL NlklBERS 60-1-3 AND 6 -1-4 , OWNED BY WILLIAM S . DOWNING Town Planner Lovi stated that the Planning Board had looked at the presentation of Mr . Downing for a 30 unit clustered subdivision at 921 Mitchell Street . He noted that the project involves thirty attached Townhouses . The Town Planner went on to say that the plan is based upon talks with the architects and staff . The parcel is long and narrow with public water and sewer . It would be difficult to develop this parcel as it is currently zoned , an R-30 zone . The developers plan is based upon it being rezoned to R-9 . The cluster regulations have certain requirements , such as buffering of the property , which is long and narrow . A 30 ' buffer zone would tie up 20 % of the property into buffer which would them make the property impossible to develop as cluster . Economically , this parcel requires it be rezoned to R- 9 and then the Planning Board could waiver certain buffering requirements . Mr . Lovi went on to say that the Town Board should schedule a public hearing for the December meeting so as not to delay the project . The Planning Board has ajourned their public hearing to December 3rd so they can prepare a recommendation to the Town Board . Supervisor Desch speaking to the Town Planner remarked , then the • Planning Board has not made a recommendation? Town Planner Lovi responded , the Planning Board action to date has • only been to set the date for a public hearing . Councilwoman Raffensperger questioned the rezoning to R- 9 , she asked why not R-15 ? Town Planner Lovi responded because of the number of lots that could be developed which would not be economical for the developer . Councilwoman Raffensperger then asked why not rezone the property to Multiple Residence ? Town Board 11 November 20 , 1985 Town Planner Lovi responded that a Multiple Residence District could have been considered . He went on to say that he felt that an R-9 District was good for the residential property . Twenty to thirty units will fit in with the R- 9 District . 140 Multiple Residence units on seven acres could change the character of the project . Therefore , R-9 District with some of the cluster requirements waived seemed the best approach . Councilwoman Raffensperger asked if the total number of units would be thirty ? Peter Newell , Downing Associates responded that 18 units will be built in Phase I and 12 in Phase II . • Councilwoman Raffensperger questioned the number of parking spaces? Peter Newell responded that there will be a total of 92 parking • spaces . Town Planner Lovi remarked that the Town Board would be lead agency . Councilman Kugler asked if the proposed project was for low income type ? Town Planner Lovi responded no , high income . RESOLUTION NO . 244 Motion by Councilman McPeak ; seconded by Supervisor Desch , RESOLVED , that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca will meet and conduct a public hearing at 8 : 15 P .M. , on December 9 , 1985 , at the Town Hall , 126 East Seneca Street , Ithaca , New York , to consider the rezoning of 7 . 1 acres , at 921 and 925-35 Mitchell Street , Tax Parcel Nos . 60-1-3 and 60-1-4 , owned by William S . Downing , from Residence District R-30 to Residence District R-9 , and to consider the waiver of certain cluster requirements as they pertain to this Property (Desch , Kugler , Raffensperger , McPeak , Howell and Bartholf voting Aye . Nays - none) . HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN Supervisor Desch stated that a lot of time has been spent evaluating the health insurance . The Personnel Committee has recommended the Town go with the Empire Core Plus Enhancements Plan . Employee contribution ranges from 90o and 95 % , however , the Supervisor stated that it was felt 10 % contribution for the employees was too much . (Copy attached to the minutes ) . • Both Town Engineer Larry Fabbroni and Town Clerk Jean Swartwood questioned why the employees had not been informed that the Town • was considering a change in the health insurance and why was the State Wide Plan not being offered . Supervisor Desch responded that the State Wide Plan and CHI were no longer available and were being replaced by the Empire Plan . He went on to say that the Town had only known about the phase out of the State Wide Plan and GHI for a month and that the cost figures only arrived a few days ago . He went on to say that there were some subtle changes . Also , there was a guarantee that there would not be an increase in premiums before January 1987 . Town Board 12 November 20 , 1985 Councilman McPeak asked if the new coverage would begin on January 1 , 1986 ? Supervisor Desch responded , yes . Town Attorney Barney asked if anyone covered now on the State Wide or GHI Plan would be covered under the new Empire Plan ? Supervisor Desch responded , yes . RESOLUTION N0 , 245 Motion by Councilwoman Raffensperger , seconded by Councilwoman • Howell , RESOLVED , that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby approve the Empire Chore Plus Enhancements Plan for health insurance for • the Town employees , and FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED , that any future increases in premiums be shared 50 -50 by the Town and the employees afater January 1 , 1987 . (Desch , Kugler , Raffensperger , McPeak , Howell and Bartholf voting Aye . Nays - none) . PERSONAL USE OF 'TOWN VEHICLES Town Attorney Barney stated that he had dictated a letter to be sent to the Town Supervisor on the latest IRS rulings and suggested the Board hold off making any decision for awhile . INLET VALLEY COOP Town Attorney Barney stated that in 1979 , the Planning Board gave subdivision approval for the Inlet Valley Coop . An Offering Plan was to be filed with the Attorney General and the Town Clerk . Mr . Weisburd never filed the plan with either the Attorney General or the Town Clerk , Supervisor Desch stated that people who brought property at the Coop brought the problem to his attention . Seven building permits were issued by the Building Inspector who was not aware of the fact that the Offering Plan had not been filed . The Building Inspector issued another building permit just before the problem with the Offering Plan was brought to light . The building permit was then revoked . Mr . Weisburd was informed of the decision to revoke the building permit by letter and he and his lawyer are in the process of doing whatever they deem necessary . Town Attorney Barney added that the person whose building permit • was revoked had purchased the land quite awhile ago and he may need to go to the Planning Board for consideration of a waiver in order to build . • ADJOURNMENT The meeting was duly adjourned . own 1 rk BUILDING INSPECTOR ' S MONTHLY REPORT NOVEMBER 1985 Lewis D .
