The minutes II from November 1 , 1993 were reviewed . One correction was made on page one , middle paragraph . " Another aspect that Krys thought of after the last meeting was extending Municipalities . . . " . Municipal service will ✓ eplace Municipalities . Budd made a motion to approve the minutes , Gregg seconded . The minutes passed unanimously . In discussing Multi - family units ( of 3 or more ) the areas should be sewered stated David . ( He brought out the land use map from Alex ' s o ffice . ) The Members looked over the map to see where Multi - family Residential could go . The trailer park was mentioned . Gerri stated t hat she has a problem putting multi -- family in an area that is already so densely populated . She mentioned the housing in Enfield and the t endency for them to reoccur . Budd asked if when the new septic plant was put in in Ithaca if there was any for thought as far as capacity ? There is some excess capacity and it probably will be gobbled up due to t he Cayuga Heights plant . ( There has been a moratorium placed on it . ) That plant traditionally provided service to the Village of Lansing e ven out to Dryden , etc . Capacity has been reached and for three or four years sewers have essentially been frozen . Part of the settlement has been to use some of the city ' s excess capacity said David . The sewer line would be very expensive for the Town of Ulysses said David . The idea is to find the path of reality and not develop potential sites for Multi - family units at this evening ' s meeting stated David . The Members agreed that if there are more than 4 units they need to go into a sewered area . Alex ' s comments would be greatly welcome , said David . He could tell us if the Multi - family unit ( 4 or less ) could go anywhere said Geri . We ' ll keep the distinction for the R2 as 4 family or less , n on - owner occupied . The R3 will have more than 4 family and could ✓ equire water and sewer . The R3 could end up in one or two places ; near t he Town line or around the edge of the Village ( an area that perhaps will be annexed ) said David . Gerri felt it was important to address acreage for each Residential . After discussion the Members decided o n the following : R2 -- Acreage ( 4 Families or less ) - - minimum one acre per unit ( non -- sewered areas ) . The setback will be graduated depending on the number of units . one unit - 75 feet two units - 90 feet t hree - four units - 100 feet H eight restriction - All units to be at or above grade up to two stories . R3 -- Acreage ( 4 Families plus ) - Specify the number of stories and specify the percentage of lot that is covered with improvements . Will the height limitations be the same as in Residential asked t erri ? We should make a special request for Alex to attend the next meeting to address fire codes , height restrictions and setbacks . Rla and Rib will be permitted in R2 and R3 said David . " S TOWN OF ULYSSES 2 PLANNING BOARD MEETING TOWN HALL NOVEMBER 15 , 1993 The topic of the Duplex came up . It should be provided for as it is common enough said David . ( Owner occupied . ) They are not un - common in the Town of Ulysses as they do help the owner get a mort - gage . It is easier to regulate if it is owner occupied said David . In what Residential should it be placed asked Gerri ? It was decided it will go in the Rib . Gerri asked who would enforce it ? Alex would said David . Restrictions would be placed in the title ( owner occupied ) . The Town of Ithaca does this . It ' s an effective mechanism . Every time there is a change of title the lawyers look into it . We should look into that , it might make Alex ' s job a little easier said David . The City of Ithaca inspects every multi - dwelling every three years . They require a Certificate of Compliance . It ' s the way they keep their code enforced . It ' s a more expensive way of doing it ; more labor intensive said David . The less the Town has to be involved the better he said . The topic of Multi - Family will continue to be addressed . The 29th of November will be the next meeting . The meeting for December will be on the 6th . ( Two weeks back to back ) . Gerri made the motion to adjourn ; it was seconded . The meeting ended at 9 : 15PM . I i .
