The West lot will be +/- 131.2 ft and the East lot will be +/- 142.4 ft to the highway right of way, located at 209 Tudor Rd, Tax Parcel No. 57.-1-7- 8.168 and 56.-03-13.30, Medium Density Residential (MDR). Charles Guttmann, Attorney for Mr. Frandsen and representative for Ms. Reiter was present to answer questions from the Board. Mr. Guttmann gave an overview of the appeal noting that these are both existing nonconforming lots, one of which has a residence on it and the other is vacant and landlocked. He added that staff and his client have tried to trace the history to figure out how that happened but the proposal will make the occupied lot less nonconforming and fix what appears to be a mistake from long ago in setting these lots the way they are by redrawing the line down the middle to give both lots frontage and decrease the nonconformity of one and make a buildable lot on the other side. He noted that this has gone through the Planning Board process and this is the last step. The Board clarified that it is two lots now and will remain two lots with different lot lines. They were also baffled on how this configuration of the two lots could have come to be. Ms. Brock added that the other lots in the subdivision were "normal" lots and these two were the only oddities. Minor changes were made to the SEQR form and approved by the board. ZBA Resolution No. 2014-009: SEAR Area Variance 209 Tudor Rd, Tax Parcel No. 57.-1-7-8.168 and 56.-03-13.30, MDR May 19, 2014 Motion made by Rob Rosen, seconded by Bill King Resolved that this Board makes a negative determination of environmental significance based on the information in the Parts 1 and 2 and for the reasons stated in the Part 3 environmental assessment form. 1 Approved June 16, 2014 Vote: Ayes — Jung, DeRosa, King, Vignaux and Rosen Nays — None Motion passed. Mr. Rosen opened the public hearing at 7:14p.m. Three neighbors addressed the board. 1st Neighbor: spoke Virginia Steele, to the east. She asked why if the requirements were established, it is so easy to get a variance. She said the lot looks very small and it dips radically. Lady, lots look very small and the one next to me dips quite rapidly. Mr. Lyons, across the street. He stated that when they moved in in 2000, into an established neighborhood that had houses built since the 1970's, they understood what this lot looked like and understood that this lot would not be built on because it is too small and didn't have roadfront access so that was part of their decision to buy their house. He thought it would significantly change the character of the neighborhood to have a house on this end of the street because it is a cul de sac and a park at the other end of the road so having another house on such a small lot would change the character of the neighborhood and he did not think it was the expectation of anyone in the neighborhood. Ms. Sissel, neighbor. She agreed with her neighbors and asked if the board had looked at the two lots because to her it is obvious why this lot is not built on because of the drop off and the woods around it. She added that it was extremely wet this past weekend. She stated that there have been rumors about how a house would be built and most of it is woods and there would be drainage problems if something were to be built there. Mr. Rosen brought the matter back to the board and stated that the issue seems to be that the neighbors assumed that the minimum lot size was the minimum lot size and that the spare change that was left over from lots that were the minimum size would be not built on. Ms. Brock noted that these lots meet the size except for depth and Mr. Bates added that the eastern most lot, the vacant lot, is 8 feet deficient. The western lot, the one with the house on it, would be 18.5 feet deficient which is what it is now, there would be no change. The line is measured from the biggest point to the back. There was some confusion and Mr. Bates made additional copies of another survey map for the board, applicant and neighbors. Mr. DeRosa asked the neighbors if they could speak to the issue of the small deficiency and how that would affect the neighborhood because the issues they had raised such as grade and wetness are not applicable to the lack of depth. That is a building issue, not a character of the neighborhood defect. 2 Approved June 16, 2014 Ms. Sissle responded that she did not know what the town was thinking in setting these boundaries but turned the question back to the board instead asking them why they thought it would be a good idea to grant an exception in this case. Mr. Vignaux, who was looking at an aerial view on his computer and noted that the other side of the street had 8 houses and the side under question only has 6 houses, so the addition of a 7t" house would still leave more open space than the other side of the street. He added that as he looked at the entire neighborhood, the spacing of the houses is such that there is one open space where this vacant lot is so it doesn't seem it would change the character of the neighborhood by overcrowding; it seems to fit. How would that change the character? Ms. Sissle responded that the lot is mostly woods so if a house were built that would change the character and Mr. Lyons added that in looking at only the side of the road in question, there are 6 houses that all have equal lots and it looks like there is a vacancy but you have to take in the greater sense in that there is a park on the other side and beside his house there is an undeveloped road, so there is a lot of area in this neighborhood that is undeveloped and that is what concerns me; it adds yet another family to what we had thought would never be developed and it comes back to that. Mr. DeRosa responded that it comes back to what he said; he understands what the neighbors are saying, but what the issues they are stating would happen regardless if this were an ever so slightly bigger lot. Mr. Rosen responded that he can understand the concerns of the neighbors because the lot size is a minimum and that is what they bought into. They thought they were buying into a certain size and certain look. Ms. Jung asked if the code was different back then and again, the board didn't understand how the lots were divided back then. Members talked about the importance of depth and the question is; when is a variance too much. There was some discussion on the possibility of a ROW from Tudor Rd to the landlocked property to allow a buildable lot and Ms. Brock clarified that it could be deeded or conveyed over but not as a ROW. The lots around the ones in question were discussed and there are lots across the road that have an even larger deficiency (131, 134, 132, 129, 165, 172, 139, and the ones to the west, 147, 152, 149, 151, 150) and some that are only a few feet short or a few feet over. Mr. Bates looked at the neighborhood tax map and all of the lot depths seem to be slightly under or slightly over the 150 feet with a few exceptions that are significantly deficient but built on. The neighbor across the street is only 131 in depth and the next door neighbor is 104; a significant number of the houses in the neighborhood would have needed a variance to build if the intent was the 150 foot depth and this seems to be some kind of error in the subdivision layout that was filed. Mr. Rosen closed the public hearing at 7:43 p.m. Mr. Guttman addressed the board again noting that although he appreciates the comments of the neighbors, they do not go to the issue of the deficiency here which 3 Approved June 16, 2014 is depth. He added that as Mr. Bates stated, there are existing lots across the street with depths of 130 — 150 feet so it is consistent with the character of the neighborhood. As noted, the Town has passed an ordinance but this is a 5% difference and the Town also created this Board, and the purpose of this Board is to grant variances in appropriate places. Regarding the saturation of the neighborhood, that question really goes to the frontage and the frontage being proposed exceeds the required frontage and is consistent with the neighborhood. Regarding the woods and whether the land is wet; that doesn't go to the question of the variance for depth which is being asked for. That is a building and design issue, not a zoning issue. The size of the lot meets the lot requirement and the depth is 5% lacking. He added that the applicant could go to the neighbor abutting the back and buy 7 feet and they would be able to build. ZBA Resolution No. 2014-010: Area Variance 209 Tudor Rd, Tax Parcel No. 57.-1-7-8.168 and 56.-03-13.30, MDR May 19, 2014 Motion made by Rob Rosen, seconded by Bill King Resolved that this board grant the appeal of Frandsen Real Property, LLC, owner and Elizabeth Reiter, agent, requesting a variance from the requirements of Chapter 270-73 D "Size and Area of Lot" of the Town of Ithaca Code, to be able to subdivide a lot and not have the minimum depth from the highway right of way, with the following Findings: 1. It does not appear that the benefit can be achieved by any other means feasible to the applicant, including but not limited to acquiring a strip of land to provide access to Tudor Rd because the access would still be nonconforming, and 2. Based upon the current density of the neighborhood; the lot depths within the neighborhood, particularly on either side and across the street, and taking into account further the fact that the frontage of these two resulting lots would be entirely consistent with the frontage throughout the neighborhood and in compliance with current zoning laws, this proposal does not change the lot depth for the eastern lot and substantially improves the lot depth for the western lot, even though the western lot will still not comply with the 150 feet of depth, it improves the current 101 feet depth of the lot. Therefore there will be no undesirable change in the neighborhood or to nearby properties, and 3. It is debatable whether or not the request is substantial, but to the extent that it is, that is outweighed by the benefit to the applicant in light of the minimum detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the community, and 4 Approved June 16, 2014 4. There are no apparent physical or environmental effects as stated in the SEQR form, and 5. While the difficulty may have been self-created because the two lots were purchased together, that is outweighed by the benefit to the applicant and the lack of any material detriment to the health safety and welfare of the community. Vote: Ayes — Rosen, DeRosa, Jung, Vignaux and King Nays — None Motion passed Appeal of Town of Ithaca, owner, and Patrick Fairbrother, agent for Ithaca Cal Ripkin/Babe Ruth Baseball requesting a variance from the requirements of Chapter 221-6A(2) and Chapter 221-6A(1)(a) of the Town's Sign law to erect a manual scoreboard that exceeds the height limitation of 6 ft and exceeds the allowable square footage of 4 sq ft to be located at Tutelo Park, 151 Bostwick Rd., Tax Parcel No. 31.4-6.1, Low Density Residential (LDR). Mr. Fairbrother addressed the board and explained that they plan on trouble shooting some of the details, such as the catwalk, to see how difficult and the various costs of the two options presented. One is 8 feet tall and the other is 11 feet tall. It will be placed back from the outfield fence. The Board discussed the different sizes and the smaller one would not have room for the balls and strikes to be shown. It was determined that it would not be visible, or barely, from the church and the only other neighbor is the school bus garage. Mr. Rosen opened the public hearing at 8:02 p.m. There was no one wishing to address the board and the hearing was closed. Minor changes were made to the SEAR Form ZBA Resolution No. 2014-011: SEAR Sign Variance Ithaca Cal Ripkin/Babe Ruth Baseball Tutelo Park, 151 Bostwick Rd., Tax Parcel No. 31.4-6.1, LDR May 19, 2014 Motion made by Rob Rosen, seconded by Christine Decker Resolved that this Board makes a negative determination of environmental significance based on the information in the Parts 1 and 2 and for the reasons stated in the Part 3 environmental assessment form. Vote: Ayes — Jung, DeRosa, King, Decker and Rosen Nays — None Motion passed. 5 Approved June 16, 2014 There was some discussion during the composition of the resolution regarding the sign and whether to refer to it being required to be built at depicted. The Board did not want the applicant to have to come back in if they had to vary it and stated for the record that elements as depicted can be rearranged and configured but the sign must function as a scoreboard. ZBA Resolution No. 2014-012: Sign Variance Ithaca Cal Ripkin/Babe Ruth Baseball Tutelo Park, 151 Bostwick Rd., Tax Parcel No. 31.4-6.1, LDR May 19, 2014 Motion made by Rob Rosen, seconded by Bill King Resolved that this board grants the appeal of Town of Ithaca, owner, and Patrick Fairbrother, agent for Ithaca Cal Ripkin/Babe Ruth Baseball requesting a variance from the requirements of Chapter 221-6A(2) and Chapter 221-6A(1)(a) of the Town's Sign law to erect a manual scoreboard that exceeds the height limitation of 6 ft and exceeds the allowable square footage of 4 sq ft to be located at Tutelo Park, 151 Bostwick Rd., Tax Parcel No. 31.4-6.1, Low Density Residential (LDR) with the following: Findings 1. That the benefit to the applicant outweighs any detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood given that it is a Town park and made for playing sports and this is an accessory appropriate to the environment, and 2. That it will not have an undesirable change because it is not visible from any residential properties, and 3. That although the request is substantial, and self-created by the applicant's desire to have a large scoreboard, nonetheless, the benefit to the applicant outweighs any detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the community in that it is not visible to any residential properties because this is set deep in the property with a back drop of woods and only visible from the bus garage and possibly from the church and is consistent with the use of the ball field and will therefore not change the character of the neighborhood. 4. That there will be no adverse physical or environmental effects for the reasons stated in the SEAR form. Conditions 1. That the color will be generally as depicted; green with lighter colored lettering, and 6 Approved June 16, 2014 2. That the maximum height will be 11 feet and the maximum square footage will not exceed 112 feet and shall function solely as a scoreboard in the usual manner. Vote: Ayes — King, Rosen, DeRosa, Jung and Decker Nays — None Motion passed Appeal of Town of Ithaca, owner, requesting a variance from the requirements of Chapter 270-59 "Height Limitations" to replace a the water tower that is 72 foot high which exceeds the height limitation of 30 feet, to be located at Christopher Lane, Tax Parcel No. 72.-1-10, Medium Density Residential (MDR). Mr. Hebdon explained the project. Mr. Rosen opened the public hearing at 8:22 p.m. There was no one wishing to address the board and the hearing was closed. ZBA Resolution No. 2014-013: Height Variance Town of Ithaca Christopher Lane, Tax Parcel No. 71-1-10, MDR May 19, 2014 Moved by Rob Rosen, seconded by Chris Jung Resolved that this board grants the appeal of the Town of Ithaca, owner, requesting a variance from the requirements of Chapter 270-59 "Height Limitations" to replace a the water tower that is 72 foot high which exceeds the height limitation of 30 feet, to be located at Christopher Lane, Tax Parcel No. 72.-1-10, Medium Density Residential zone with the following: Findings 1. That there will be no detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the community and 2. That the Benefit cannot be achieved by any other means given that the height is the minimum height required to provide water and pressure for the system to the community, and 3. That the request is substantial, but nevertheless, the existing tank is 70 feet high and the replacement adds only 2 feet, and 4. There will be no adverse physical or environmental effects which has been legislatively determined by the DEC because the action is Type 2, exempt from SEAR, and 5. This is not self-created in that there is a tank in place already and this is a replacement consisting of the minimum height needed to adequately supply the neighborhood. Vote: Ayes — King, Rosen, DeRosa, Jung and Vignaux Nays — None 7 Approved June 16, 2014 Motion passed Continuation of appeal of Carrie Regenstein, owner, requesting a variance from the requirements of Chapter 270-71(F) "Yard Regulations" of the Town of Ithaca Code, to be able to place a detached garage within the 15 ft setback from side property line in the front yard, located at 301 Muriel St, Tax Parcel No. 70.- 2-3, Medium Density Residential (MDR). Claudia Brenner was present to answer questions from the Board. Ms. Brenner gave an overview, stating that she and the applicants went back to the property after the last meeting to review all possible places the garage could be placed and decided on keeping the garage in the same place but removing their beloved pine trees and locating the garage 7 feet further into the yard. She noted that going any further would present issues because it would be into the grade and would require a massive amount of regarding etc. She said that it was her understanding that there were concerns about the garage being so close to the road and this revision cuts that in half or meets the board halfway. This is a cul de sac and there isn't a lot of traffic. She added that she did meet with Mr. Bates to discuss options and locating the garage attached to the house, but there are issues with fire separation etc. Mr. DeRosa asked her what she felt was the main reason for locating the garage in the fornt of the house as opposed to the back and she responded that there is a brand new addition to the back of the house with a lot of glass and there would be a fire separation required as well as the house being 8 rises up and if you bring the garage in at grade you would need a staircase in the garage which would make the roof really tall to attach it to the house. Mr. DeRosa asked about a detached garage in the back and Ms. Brenner stated that it would be far from the house and they spent a lot of money and effort putting in the existing sidewalk and there is more than enough room. While it has an address on Muriel St, it effectively has its front and parking area on Rosehill Rd and that is where the garage is proposed. Mr. King asked if the proposal is the same size and Ms. Brenner responded that it was and it was not her understanding that there was an issue with the size. They would like to be able to park their two cars in there. Mr. DeRosa stated that the issue was more that the garage would be an unusual structure on that street and Ms. Brenner responded that she looked at the neighborhood and they are proposing a very attractive garage that matches the existing house and she did not see it as an architectural detriment at all. There are other garages in the neighborhood, either attached or in the back so this is not different. Mr. DeRosa stated that he was surprised that given the range of concerns that were expressed that the only change was pushing it back a bit. It is going to be out of character being so close to the pavement. 8 Approved June 16, 2014 Mr. King thought there were plenty of places to put the garage and Ms. Brenner responded that there really isn't given that they are looking to age in place and the house is significantly above ground. She added that they looked at all locations and not attaching it to the house and given that the house is elevated, there is nowhere else. Mr. Rosen responded that they don't want to attach it to the house anywhere, they didn't want to build it anywhere it is permitted on a very large lot, and the only place that is acceptable is in a public space. Ms. Brenner agreed, stating that they are asking to be able to put it 7.5 feet closer than allowed. Mr. DeRosa stated that it is very out of character from the other homes on the street being basically on the front lawn if you are looking from Muriel St. Ms. Brenner responded that no neighbors have come in or complained about the proposal and it was well-advertised and discussed and the sense is that the neighbors do not mind and Mrs. Regestein had spoken with neighbors and no one minded. Mr. Bates noted that they are parking cars there now and Ms. Brenner added that this is one of the nicer houses in the neighborhood and they are trying to stay close to the house as they get older and to match the house etc. They have built a one story house and this is the next step to staying home with a very nice gradual step and pathway that they invested a lot of money into and this is not a detriment to the neighborhood. Ms. Brenner stated that she was having trouble understanding why having a garage is a negative attribute and Ms. Jung responded only because it is so close to the road; the town wants structures to be away from the road. Mr. Rosen came back to the steps and felt that if they were there, the justification that the occupants wanted the garage to "age in place" and have easy access to the house, the flight of steps weakens the argument and therefore putting the garage in the other location is the same distance for them to walk. Mr. DeRosa stated that he understands their reasons and wishes, but the question is whether they are entitled to a variance because they prefer where they want it. That is not the basis for a variance and Ms. Brenner responded that the basis is that it is not a detriment to the neighborhood in that it is a nice garage that fits in with everything else on their very nicely landscaped and existing property and they are asking for a variance to put it slightly closer than is allowed. It is a wide road. Mr. King asked why they didn't make the garage any smaller which would allow for it to be further from the road and Ms. Brenner responded that if it was any smaller, a car wouldn't fit. Usually a garage is 24 feet and this is 22 feet and that is the outside measurement, so only 20 feet inside and depending on the car, you need that space to open the doors etc. you have to be able to maneuver around the car. She added that she could speak to them about that but it is already smaller than what would usually be built and is a compromise already. If it made all the difference in the world she could talk to them and they told her to get the variance and then they would consider whether or not to build it. She asked where the board would feel good about since she already met them halfway. Ms. Jung asked at what point does it get in front of the house? Ms. Brenner responded that the evergreens are not going to survive the pushing it in as it is. 9 Approved June 16, 2014 Mr. Rosen stated that he is getting the sense that everyone is uncomfortable with the revised plan and Ms. Jung stated that this is a very large lot and it is not like that is the only place you can put the garage and that while she can see the arguments about why you wouldn't want to, she didn't know if that was enough to grant a variance when there are so many options. Ms. Brenner responded that since the other options don't work for the clients they have a right to ask for a variance and what the board would be comfortable with? Is it 15 feet or nothing because they have already moved it back to 7.5 feet. Ms. Brenner stated that since the Regensteins are not here, she would like to table it again until they would like to come back to the board. Vote: Ayes — King, Rosen, DeRosa, Jung and Nays — None Motion passed ZBA Resolution No. 2014-014: Adjourned Area Variance — Garage Carrie Regenstein, 301 Muriel St, Tax Parcel No. 70.-2-3, MDR May 19, 2014 Motion made by Rob Rosen, seconded by Christine Jung Resolved that this appeal is adjourned until the applicant requests to have it back on the agenda. Vote: Ayes — Rosen, Jung, DeRosa, King and Decker Motion passed Ms. Brock noted that the way the resolution was worded allows the applicants to come back with the same proposal. Mr. Rosen brought the board's attention to the draft minutes and moved their approval. Ms. Jung seconded. Minutes were approved unanimously. Mr. Bates reviewed the upcoming appeals and the meeting was adjourned at 8:58 p.m. Submitted by Paulette Terwilliger Town Clerk 10 Approved June 16, 2014 TOWN OF ITHACA AFFIDAVIT OF POSTING AND PUBLICATION I, Lori Kofoid, being duly sworn, say that I am the Deputy Town Clerk of the Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York that the following notice has been duly posted on the sign board of the Town Clerk of the Town of Ithaca and the notice has been duly published in the official newspaper, Ithaca Journal: O ADVERTISEMENT O NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS ZOMIr1G EX)Au1 OF APPEALS : NONCE OF MOM HFARNG Monday May 10,29094 215Nodhldaatra Strest, MUVnaw dao RX Appeal u1 Fnnds art Reel Puayrarfrk LLCM, +gowei a¢arri. ks zabe,thi Reiter, aiapeia ib- Location of Sign Board Used for Posting: cf"° °thg a `anon`1r�a,m the ^¢quirkvrhwriP ofCha*,v 270 71"t Lr Sy wird A'ca of LA" Town Clerk's Office of$e owri of lthma Code, 215 North Tioga Street a dp"'r,b"° to�,r°:ab�t "'m p�td rcrpp M/cvv tfar., grtirrpivrtyaV4 Ithaca, NY 14850 depth fi,M�a'��`miti ki be,�r:50 ftoil f;vrrtkr blas Dm,`West lot will oe Ir 1311 It pack the Date of Posting: Wednesday April 30, 2014 i €aollrrk vvrdl be i`.M2,4(1 to g Cha,l ii,ytn✓u,y rr�hk rakw p?,<.I e. a te,JtO 209�ir�rfor`f6 4 Sax F'"arv,' No 1.1-7-&T68 sia'd i Date of Publication: Friday May 2, 2014 , fla Medium"rr�taa tp 1erm.rtrhtde vrPral fbhfaPl.
