The meeting was called to order. at 8 : 40 PM . The Chairman changed
the word " shall " to " should " in the third paragraph up from the bottom ,
on page one , of the minutes of May 2 , 1994 . David decided to hold the
minutes for approval , until Peter and Krys had an opportunity to re -
,
view them .
® The first order of business was the placement of the Special
P ermit . It will continue to be at the end of Article II in the Zon -
ing Ordinance ( as it exists now ) .
The Members approved of every thing in R1 - A and moved on to R1 - B .
They questioned the terminology used in R1 - B , item " b " . " Treatment or
research facility . . . " , why was " hospital " omitted ? In item " d " , the
Members changed the word " persons " to " clients " ( for now ) . R2 and R3
( multiple dwelling units ) are mentioned before Section I of Residence
D istricts and need to be expanded .
The Members moved on to Section 2 , Accessory Permitted Uses in
Residence Districts . After much discussion ( and David ' s comment
" activities have to go with the person occupying the building " ) , the
Members added the following statement :
Accessory uses permitted hereafter , shall be those incidental to
t he primary residential use of the premises by its resident ( s ) . Sign -
age to be in accordance to Article VIII .
" Accessory " has been added after " Permitted " in the paragraph
following the above statement . In item " a " , the Members deleted
" resident " ; they added " consultant " after " broker " . To reduce sexism ,
t he Members updated item " b " to state :
Customary home occupations , including but not limited to taxi -
d ermy , tailoring , hair styling , undertaking , child care , or catering ,
conducted by residents in the dwelling , and by Special Permit any
o ther home occupation , provided that no goods or products or materials
✓ elated to the occupation are publicly displayed .
The Members approved item " c " for now . David commented though ,
t hat he has a hunch this might have been directed at someone who has
a business and is using their backyard as a staging area for the busi -
n ess . Budd stated it was also saying that the homeowner that drives
two pick - up trucks is in violation . David said we need to define
what commercial vehicle is . Perhaps it can be an exception if the
personal vehicle of each individual resident has commercial plates .
He went on to say that the Members don ' t know enough of the history
behind item " c " , to decide to junk it or to do something with it .
In item " d " it was decided to delete " commerce or industry " and
replace it with " for construction purposes " .
® Geri requested that David bring in a copy of Ithaca ' s Zoning
Ordinance for the next meeting . Due to the Memorial Day holiday and
the first Monday of June being set aside for the ZBA , the next two
meeting dates will be May 23 , 1994 and June 20 , 1994 .
The meeting adjourned at 9 : 15 PM .
