PLANNING BOARD MEETING
TOWN HALL
NOVEMBER 15 , 1993
PRESENT : CHAIRMAN : DAVID TYLER ; MEMBERS : GERRI KEIL , GREGG HOFFMIRE
AND BUDD STOVER ; SECRETARY : ROXANNE SMITH
The Chairman called the meeting to order at 7 : 45 PM . 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 .

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 .
