Call to Order and Pledge of Allegiance — Meeting was called to order at 5:30 p.m. 2. Report of the Board of Fire Commissioners — Bill Gilligan —Attachment 1 Mr. Gilligan read highlights from his submitted report. He reminded the board that there is a vacancy on the Board of Fire Commissioners and they are interested in recruiting someone with computer and web skills and added that familiarity with fire protection is not necessary because there are many tasks the Commissioners need to do that are not directly fire related. Questions from the Town Board — Mr. Goodman reminded the board and Mr. Gilligan that Mr. Engman had written a letter to President Rochon regarding the need for Ithaca College to contribute toward fire protection and that the town has the option of removing the college from its fire protection district which would mean Ithaca College would have to contract with the City itself or form its own service. Mr. Goodman reminded the President Rochon of that letter and will be meeting with the Vice President of Facilities on the topic. 3. Presentation on the redevelopment of the Maplewood Apartment site — Attachment 2 Scott Whitham, Whitham Planning and Design and Torti Gallas, Torti Gallas and Partners, Inc. Mr. Whitham and Mr. Gallas went through a powerpoint presentation outlining the project. This is an example of form -based code that the town's Comprehensive Plan is based upon and moving toward. This project is designed for graduate and professional students and will be a high - density, mixed -use, neighborhood with high walkability and connectivity to existing transportation, trails and parks consisting of townhomes, apartments and duplexes. Mr. Witham noted that the intent is to preserve the views and area around the historic Mitchell burial location and the connection to the Ithaca East Hill Recreation Way. Questions from the Board Ms. Hunter asked what percentage of the property is currently covered by buildings and what the anticipated coverage will be. Mr. Witham responded that he did not know at this time, but getting that information is a priority. Ms. Hunter then asked about trees and the Mr. Gallas responded that they will be saving as many trees as possible and adding a significant number of TB 2-5-2016 pg 1 street trees but the circles on the draft drawings are not a final number or location and should not 114" 1 be viewed as such. Ms. Hunter asked about the term "professional student" and was told that it essentially means not undergraduates or employees of the college but graduate students and their families; some people coming back to college after a break to pursue jobs and returning for higher degrees. Ms. Leary asked about parallel parking, noting that that is much harder to most people and she did not like the comment about limiting cars; she stated that she is not anti -vehicle and does not want to see this project become anti -vehicle. Mr. Whitham responded that parallel parking is easier for snow removal and uses less impervious surfaces and theparking will be on the inner streets. He added that they will be researching the types of residents and their needs and will certainly meet the vehicle needs identified. Mr. DePaolo asked about the number of "beds" and the significant increase in number and Mr. Whithan responded that they will be doing research on what type of housing is most in demand and that in turn will push the number of "beds" versus number of units. Mr. Goodman noted that the number of beds does not equate to the number of people as some "beds" would have couples etc. and Mr. DePaolo asked if the numbers given were accurate then as they represent a triple increase in what is there already. Mr. Whitham responded that the numbers are not set but they are committed to the ranges as stated. Mr. Goodman noted that this project will be going to the Planning Committee for more in depth review and questions and before coming back to the Board. He asked the college representative about the talk of other phases of this development plan within the next few years and the representative described two adjoining areas that could be developed in following phases but nothing is concrete yet and they would like to get this one underway and before thinking about the next phases but that is why some of the design is as it is; to allow for connectivity if additional phases are done. 4. Persons to be Heard and Board Comments Claire Forest — Attachment 3 Ms. Forest read her prepared statement. Ms. Forest is asking the Town Board to not allow guinea hens in the town. Ms. Forest stated that guinea hens are not chickens and should not be covered by the chicken law currently being drafted by the Codes and Ordinances Committee. Ms. Forest's statement detailed her issues with guinea hens kept by her neighbor and the financial losses to her family farm and predator issues she feels are a direct result of her neighbors farm. Mr. DePaolo asked if the neighbors' guinea hens were in the front yard and asked if it would be helpful if the guinea hens were made to be confined to a certain area. Ms. Forest responded that at first they were all over and in the front yard and then she believes the Code Enforcement visited them and they now move them around the property. She stated that just before the �...1 meeting she stood outside to listen and they are over on the back side of the lot but they are still noisy. Ms. Forest reiterated that she feels they have no place in the town of Ithaca. TB 2-8-2016 pg 2 Ms. Bleiwas asked Ms. Forest to estimate what the losses to her crop were as a result of guinea hens and Ms. Forest responded that she lost her investment in the pick -your -own aspect of her farm and when Ms. Bleiwas asked specifically about the predators eating the crops and what percentage of that she directly associated with the neighbor Ms. Forest responded that one can't break it out amongst the different predators but she felt it was at least a 50% increase but probably much more. Ms. Hunter asked how many guineas the neighbor has, 6- 10- 20... and Ms. Forest responded that it changes constantly since they hatch and butcher them throughout the month but way more than twenty at any given time. Ms. Forest again stated that she wants the town to disallow guinea hens. Board Comments Mr. DePaolo asked Ms. Brock if the noise from guinea hens falls under our noise ordinance and could be regulated on a case -by -case basis. Ms. Brock responded that she would have to check, but she thought it would be. Ms. Brock added that the problem is enforcement of the noise law because you have to call the Sheriffs who have to go out to write a ticket, and if it is unpredictable or not constant noise, when and if the Sheriff gets there, the outcome is unknown and may not be what you expect or want. Mr. Goodman thought the law didn't address animals other than dogs but Ms. Brock thought it wouldn't be limited to just dogs. Mr. Goodman added that the COC has been hearing from both sides on this issue and he is suggesting the COC actually go on a field trip to see what the noise is really like because of the conflicting opinions. He added that he went to the neighbor's house last weekend and they had about 6 guinea hens and he did not find them objectionable, especially from 50 feet away. Mr. Goodman stated that he will let the full board know when the date of the field trip is. 5. 5:30 p.m. Public Hearings: a. Pulled — Public Interest Order — Park Lane Water Main Replacement Water Improvement Replacement Item Mr. Goodman explained that there was a discrepancy in the description of the project and the public hearing will need to be revised and reset. Mr. DePaolo asked Mr. Weber how much of the overall water main in place now is 6" inch rather than 8" inch and Mr. Weber responded that there is approximately 2,000' feet of 6" inch now sandwiched in-between 8" inch mains so the majority is 6" inch main now.

Mr. DePaolo stated that he prefers to see the draft laws at the time of setting the public hearing in case there are major questions. He asked Ms. Ritter for a quick synopsis and she stated that it seems we are not recouping the legal fees associated with Planned Development Zones and through Personnel and Organization, it was decided to consider an escrow system and there were two other places in the current Code that dealt with escrows but were not the same. This law will establish one place for the procedure and process for all escrow accounts. Ms. Brock added that the draft is very wordy because the courts do not like vagueness in these types of transactions and they like to see a process where an applicant can object and other safeguards. Mr. Goodman added that another fee to look at is the fee associated with the cost of a building permit because right now, it is capped at $20M and as Ms. Hunter noted, the Maplewood project is upwards of $80M and will be taking quite a bit of staff time which is not addressed in the current scale. He will be putting this on the Personnel and Operations agenda.

Review of Correspondence a. Intermunicipal Watershed Organization (IO) Ms. Hunter gave a history of the IO and the current grant -funded study they are working on to revitalize the organization. She asked all board members to complete a survey as part of the study which will prioritizes what projects or concerns regarding the Cayuga Lake Watershed should be looked at by the IO by weighting them; you have 25 points and can distribute those points in whatever fashion you feel reflects your priorities. The IO is also interested in getting administrative help to assist with coordination between the many different municipalities of various sizes along the watershed. Ms. Hunter noted that she was told by the state that it is a reasonable and common request and should be associated with a specific project which typically spans 3 years. Ms. Hunter stated that this is. where the aforementioned survey comes in to identify priorities and concerns and develop a project to focus on as well as to indicate buy -in by elected officials and the public in the IO. Ms. Hunter stated that one idea for a project is to do a stormwater runoff study and she has gotten contact names from Mr. Weber and she will be working with others to start to think the project through and determine a good case study municipality and then move to involve the associated county. Ms. Hunter again urged all members to fill out the survey and any associates or residents; the more responses, the more the State is going to feel this is important to us and our residents. Mr. Goodman stated that the board should look at it and then review it at the study session. 17. Report of Town Officials Mr. Goodman asked the board about the end -of -year reports that have been done in the past and what members thought would be the best format for them. He was in favor of a one -page, shorter report with bullet points; Mr. Howe agreed and Ms. Hunter thought the emphasis should be on objectives for the upcoming year rather than a rehash of what has happened. Mr. Goodman stated that he would talk to the SAC group. Mr. Goodman reported that the polling place for the Bostwick Road area usually served by the town highway barn is being moved to the county highway barn effective immediately. Mr. DePaolo reported that in discussions with staff and other board members to figure out ways to reign in the systematic abuse of our "accessory apartment' definition and applicability, the idea of considering a temporary moratorium on new buildings containing accessory apartments seems to be necessary while we draft language that might somehow address the problem without too many unintended consequences. He will be bringing the idea to the Planning Committee for TB 2-8-2016 pg 29 consideration and referral to the Town Board. He felt the moratorium would give the town time to address the loophole and while still allowing residents to take advantage of additional income opportunities within the real intent of an accessory apartment. Mr. Goodman noted that the COC will be meeting Wednesday to continue discussion on the draft solar law and set a field trip for the hens. 18. Consider Executive Session At 8:03 p.m. Mr. Goodman moved to enter Executive Session to discuss the potential acquisition of real property where public session could affect the value and to discuss collective bargaining negotiations. Seconded by Tee -Ann Hunter, unanimous. At 8:26 p.m. Mr. Goodman moved to reenter public session, seconded by Mr. DePaolo, unanimous. No action was taken. 19. Adjournment Ms. Bleiwas moved to adjourn at 8:27 p.m., seconded by Mr. Howe, unanimous.

This project will redevelop the existing Maplewood housing complex, which currently has 372 beds in I70 units in one-story flat apartments, and will create a new, revitalized, and pedestrian friendly neighborhood of 850-975 beds in 500-600 units of a mix of townhome, stacked flat and multi -family apartment buildings within a +1-I3-acre property between Maple Avenue and Mitchell Street, with Veteran's Place as a thru-streer to these roads. Nearby amenities include East Hill Plaza, Belle Sherman Elementary School, and East Hill Recreation Way and Cascadilla Creek Natural Area. A small portion of the site, the northwest corner, is located in the City of Ithaca and is zoned as Rib. However, a majority of the property is located in the Town, and is currently zoned as High Density Residential, limiting the site's development to fulfill the objectives set forth in the Town's Comprehensive Plan. The 2014 Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use and Character map zones Maplewood as a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) High Density area in connection with East Hill Plaza (or East Hill Village in the future per Cornell's Master Plan). In order to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's guidelines and goals to create more sustainable and dynamic, pedestrian -oriented, mixed -use developments with compact and dense footprints that conserve environmentally sensitive areas, we are requesting to rezone the site as a new Planned Development Zone (PDZ) for the Town of Ithaca. The PDZ would use Form -Based Zoning Code tools and methodologies in the PDZ rezoning of the property, with foresight to the Town's goals of redeveloping existing zoning codes with Form -Based Codes. The Project Team has been chosen by Cornell University after a Request for Proposals process, an example of Cornell's goal to provide housing for more of its graduate and professional students. The developer is EdR Trust of Memphis, TN, one of the country's largest owners, developers, and managers of collegiate housing, The design team consists of Torti Gallas and Partners of Silver Spring, MD, a nationally recognized Urban Design and Architecture firm grounded in principles of Pbone: 607.379.9175 EnzaiG 123 Y.

Project Overview The proposed redevelopment of Cornell University's Maplewood Graduate and Professional Student Housing Project seeks to create a sustainable, walkable, and affordable community with more density than currently exists, using a mix of building and housing types, as well as neighborhood -serving retail and community space, within the +/- 13-acre property. The project will preserve and create a diversity of open spaces, which preserve natural areas of significance, such as a knoll and other topographically sensitive areas along the eastern edge of the property, and connect to the East Ithaca Recreation Way. This conservation will also provide an amenity to the Town and City of Ithaca, by creating a trail connection for greater access to and from the larger community. The pursuit of a Planned Development Zone (PDZ) would give the redevelopment of Maplewood a degree of flexibility within the conventional land use and design regulations of the property's current zoning restrictions, and would use Form -Based Zoning Code methodologies rather than conventional Euclidean zoning codes, a direction the Town has indicated that we pursue. Cornell University has set an opening date for the redevelopment of Maplewood as July 2018. The project will take approximately 1 year to construct. With these parameters and a fast-moving timetable, the Project Team hopes to complete the rezoning, SEQR, and Site Plan Approval process by Fall 2016. The Project Team will work diligently to respond to feedback from the Town and City boards, the neighboring community, and students through out the process, aiming to develop a project that meets the needs of all parties involved and affected by the project. To meet the goals of the Comprehensive Plan, the layout, scale, form, and character of the proposal will be compatible with the established character of the surrounding neighborhoods. The density of development would allow for fewer disturbances on and surrounding the site, and more areas of conservation. To accommodate a demographic of graduate and professional students that are international or domestic, single or are moving to Ithaca with their families, units are no larger than four -bedrooms in a semi -urban location. This would create a diverse community consisting of a mixed age group. Structures The project consists of 850 to 975 beds in 500 to 600 units of a mix of townhome, stacked flat, and multi -family apartment buildings, creating a dynamic mix of unit types and building configurations with the overall proposed development. The current rental project serves graduate students and the professional population of Cornell University for singles, couples, and families. The buildings will be designed to echo the surrounding neighborhood with the use of contemporary features. The residential units will be distributed in a mix of 3 to 4 story, corridor loaded, elevator served, apartment buildings, 2 and 3 story individual entry stacked flats, and 2 to 3 story townhouses. Studio units, 1 Bedroom, 2 Bedroom, 3 Bedroom, and 4 Bedroom units will be provided. Small-scale retail is anticipated in the ground floor of one of the gateway apartment buildings on Maple Avenue on the City portion of the property. This commercial use is anticipated to be approximately 5,000 square feet. N'q Maplewood Redevelopment Project 1 February 3, 2016 /'►� The community center will be an additional approximate 5,000 sf, and includes a combination of common meeting space, management, leasing, and office space, exercise, and recreational spaces. The building will serve as a focal point and edge to one of the internal park spaces as part of the open space network. All of the units and buildings will be designed to meet and exceed NYS Energy Code, and will use a nationally recognized sustainability metric, such as LEED, as a guideline for best practices. Emphasis will be placed on exceeding the NYS Energy Code requirements for thermal envelop and incorporating high efficiency heating and cooling systems along with the exploration of renewable energy systems where practical. Utilities Existing infrastructure around and within the site is adequate to support the development. The project will connect to public and private utilities such as water, sewer, electricity, gas, and telecommunications and provide stormwater management in accordance with current regulations. The project site lies within the Town of Ithaca Water District, with water being supplied by the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission (Bolton Point). Water service is currently fed from the Town's distribution system off of Mitchell Street and runs through a large below -ground vault housing a meter and backflow prevention devices. The system is looped throughout the site and connects to a Cornell University (CU) main on Maple Avenue. This CU main distributes water from the Cornell University Ground Tank off of Rte 366 but lacks adequate pressure to serve the site. A normally closed valve separates the two systems at Maple Avenue. Water service to the project will be fed from the existing water main in Mitchell Street and it is expected that the new water main loop within the site will be privately operated and maintained. The project parcel is also within the Town of Ithaca Sewer District with treatment ultimately provided at the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility. Sewer flows west via gravity to a collection system running along the East Hill Recreation Way, through the Belle Sherman Cottages development then connects to the Mitchell Street interceptor. Although the site collection system will be modified, the project will connect to the same manhole east of Belle Sherman Cottages. Once the project is further defined, proposed water and sewer demands will be provided to the Town for their use in confirming capacity exists in both the water and sewer systems. The site electric and gas services are maintained by New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG) and installation/modification of these utilities will be performed in coordination with NYSEG. Site telecommunications are supplied by Cornell University for data, Verizon for phones and Time Warner Cable for cable. Cornell fiber and Verizon copper facilities will be relocated to serve the new buildings. The project will be designed and constructed to meet Town, City and State stormwater management regulations in order to promote groundwater recharge, provide water quality treatment of stormwater runoff and to attenuate peak flood events to pre -developed runoff rates. Under current NYSDEC stormwater regulations the project will be considered a "redevelopment" project. The redevelopment regulations allow for exemptions from Stormwater Quantity controls provided that development activities result in no change to hydrology that increase the discharge rate from the project site. The project will strive to minimize impervious cover to below existing conditions in order to obtain an exemption Maplewood Redevelopment Project 2 February 3, 2016 from installing Runoff Reduction and Stormwater Quantity controls. A redevelopment project that reduces impervious cover by 25% or more is not required to install water quality or quantity controls. However, it is unlikely that the project will meet the 25% impervious cover reduction and accordingly the project design will consider the implementation of all potential Green Infrastructure techniques such as tree planting, rain barrels, rain gardens, bioretention areas, and disconnection of impervious areas. Through in situ soils testing, the project team will identify areas that are appropriate for stormwater recharge and determine the potential for infiltration facilities. The storm sewer conveyance system will be designed to safely convey flows to all stormwater facilities as well as discharge locations offsite. Zoning The current High Density Residential zoning code places restrictions on providing an efficient and sustainable mix of housing types to include apartments which would accommodate a wide demographic of graduate students within the property. In order to create a dynamic redevelopment of Maplewood, the developer is requesting to create a PDZ for this site. Rezoning the site for a PDZ would allow for the Maplewood redevelopment project to respond to the planning and land -use concepts set forth in the Town of Ithaca's Comprehensive Plan: 1. Sprawl would be avoided by providing denser clusters of housing with significantly r'+1 smaller footprints than High Density Residential would allow for. 2. Environmentally valuable areas would be preserved and protected as an amenity for the neighborhood and surrounding community. 3. The project will promote human -scaled development and social connectivity within the site and around the community by providing access to and a connection for the trail network. 4. The new development will take on a cluster form and/or conservation subdivisions in environmentally and visually sensitive areas. 5. Zoned as a TND High Density Area in the 2014 Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use and Character map, rezoning the Maplewood site as a PDZ would help realize the vision for the property set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. Rezoning the +/- 13-acre property as a PDZ will allow for the redevelopment of Maplewood to make the values and guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan a reality. We believe this is an ideal opportunity to help shape and improve the quality of the built environment in the Town of Ithaca by focusing growth to provide for the needs of current and future residents associated with Cornell. A PDZ for this site will focus and promote redevelopment in a location where infrastructure already exists with amenities nearby. Additionally, as the Town is in the process of developing Form Based Zoning Codes, and this PDZ would use Form - Based Zoning Code methodologies. Maplewood Redevelopment Project 3 February 3, 2016 Next Steps A PDZ for this site would allow for Maplewood to be redeveloped more closely in accordance with the Comprehensive and General Plan for the Town rather than under the current conventional land use and zoning allows for. We are aware that this development will most likely be deemed a Type I action under the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) due to the project's size and density. We are already anticipating the production of a comprehensive engineering report, which would include concerns and mitigation of traffic impacts. In foresight of this: — ATraffic Study will be performed in coordination with Tompkins County and Town and City of Ithaca Representatives. — The site entrance locations will be evaluated to determine adequate intersection sight distances. — The entrance designs will comply with Local Design Standards, allow for safe ingress and egress, and will include a crosswalk to connect to the TCAT bus stop on Maple Avenue.

February 5, 2016 Dear Town of Ithaca Town Board, I'm here to ask the Town Board to DISALLOW Guinea hens and pea fowl in the Town. I am Claire Forest of Forest Family Farm at 330 West King Road, Ithaca, in the NYS Ag District. My 55 acre farm includes orchard, berry field, hayfield, rye cover crop, irrigation pond, and farm woodlot. My sons and I grow organic red raspberries, peaches, apples, blue berries, and hay. If you drive past you will see only a cedar fence, roofline of traditional farm house, red barn and sheds, and orchard, and likely hear only songbirds. There is no chemical run-off because our family farm uses organic methods. I bought my farm in 1986-30 years ago. Each year I invested most of my income in the farm: irrigation pond, barn, shed, cedar fence around one field, woven wire around another, nursey stock --peaches, pears, apples, red raspberries. In 1992 1 pioneered the area's first organic CSA vegetable farm, feeding 60 families. As other farmers began growing organic vegetables, I switched from vegetables to fruit. During the growing season, I am out picking by 6:30 am then deliver fresh berries to a local bakery which they bake into muffins bought by local people. Picking has always been hard work, sometimes hot or cold, but peaceful until new neighbors moved in across the road in 2015 with noisy, smelly, Guinea hens. In 2015 1 invested heavily in adding pick -your -own to my berry business. I collected a list of people who wanted to pick at my farm, bought baskets wholesale, trellised and mulched rows for easy picking. Unfortunately due to the sudden arrival of new across -the -road neighbors' guinea fowl, I had to immediately shut down my new Pick -your- Own business, because my first customers, anticipating a pleasant country experience, were appalled by the raucous Guinea hen racket so left without picking berries (or paying). That suddenly left me with the entire fragile crop of berries to pick and sell. It also brought up serious questions about whether we'll have to close our farm and move our home. I'd planned to live the rest of my life here and my sons after me. However, these Guinea Hens transformed our peaceful life into an unbearable hell. I predict that if not disallowed now, aggressive guineas will cause more problems. Town Agriculture Chair Debbie Teeter has this to say about guinea hens: "Guinea hens, and pea fowl, make an ungodly noise, and it's loud and frequent. It is far, far worse than roosters .... I frankly have to wonder about anyone who would want to raise any number of Guinea hens in proximity to neighbors..." To help the Town Board consider this request, It is important to distinguish between chickens, and Guineas. Although the females of both are called "hens", the two have extremely different habits. Chicken: (gollus domesticus)—common chickens. Chicken hens are quiet and unobtrusive. Guineafowl: (galliformes numididae)-known for raucously noisy "guarding" behavior. Whenever we open or close farm gate or car door, or a pickup truck arrives, or my son and his friends play ball, or we talk, work, or eat outdoors, or there is some noise at 331 W King the Guineafowl over there start up their racket which reverberates into our lives here. Plus, sometimes I've had to swerve to avoid Guinea hens teeming up from the ditch into West King Road. Although the Guinea hens' owner stated that her Guinea hens stay on her property, she is at Cornell weekdays so does not see or hear. Town Board will eventually receive recommendations from the Ag Committee and C&O regarding chickens. I think a small flock of six chickens, without a rooster, is a smart, unobtrusive way to raise food. Neighbors at 327 West King Road keep a small quiet flock of chickens (no rooster), no problem. Guineas are a separate issue, which can and should be separated from the chicken discussion. Although some Guinea hen fans cite the birds' record of eating ticks, chickens eat ticks too, but quietly. Ticks were never a big problem on my farm (which has no animals, poultry, or manure piles), until 2015 when the Fourniers moved into 331 West King Road, and began raising Guineas, turkeys, chickens, sheep and (according to Christine Fournier's statements at Ag Committee and COC) an active program of hatching and butchering. Suddenly my family noticed a marked increase in ticks. Predators are more numerous since the arrival of those guineas. Now I frequently see coyote scat near my home and orchards, whereas coyotes used to stay down near Buttermilk gorge. I smell skunks more /Ooft\ often, and see more possums, which are major predators pf nearly -ripe peaches and berries. Before the sudden influx of guineas, other birds and animals at 331 West King Road, my family farm maintained the delicate natural balance that enabled us to grow a lot of healthful food for many people. I'm proud of my environmental stewardship, the healthful food we grow here, and protecting the threshold to Buttermilk Gorge. I'd like to continue farming and living here throughout my life and of my sons'. But, if Guinea hens are allowed, I see no viable option except stop farming and sell out. And, having noisy Guinea hens across the road suddenly changes my farm from one of the most desirable properties in Ithaca, to one that might be harder to sell to anyone but developers or loggers. Dear Town Board, please have the wisdom to disallow Guineas and peafowl.

Goodman Date bw Signature V W 15�7Title Town Supervisor /1006\ Page 13 of 13 FAIIIIIiii Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 2 - Identification of Potential Project Impacts Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency's reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity. If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Tips for completing Part 2: • Review all of the information provided in Part 1. • Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook. • Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2. • If you answer "Yes" to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section. • If you answer "No" to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question. • Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact. • Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency checking the box "Moderate to large impact may occur." • The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis. • If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub -questions for the general question and consult the workbook. • When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the "whole action". • Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts. • Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project. 1.

Other impacts: ❑ ❑ Page 10 of 10 Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 3 - Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts and Determination of Significance Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: • Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. • Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. • The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. • Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. • Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact • For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result. • Attach additional sheets, as needed. The proposal involves adding temporary outdoor vending farm stands to the list of accessory uses that are permitted as of right in the LI Zone. Such stands would be permitted with: required setbacks from the street line, parking and traffic access/egress requirements, restrictions on the time of year when such stands are allowed, a maximum number of days per week when such stands may be up, clean up and removal requirements, sign standards, and product restrictions. The proposed amendments to the LI Zone, as described above and in the attached draft local law, will not pose a significant environmental impact. The proposed amendments were initiated by planning staff in response to Greentree Garden Center's request to hold spring farm stand events at their Elmira Road location, which is located in the LI Zone. Staff recognized that the requested events would provide an opportunity for the town to meet some of the goals of the newly -adopted Comprehensive Plan. The request would also meet goal #1 of the town's Agricultural and Farmland Preservation Plan, which is to "promote the availability of locally grown foods and other agricultural products for all residents" by "reviewing and revising the town's Commercial, Light Industrial and Agricultural Zones to ensure that necessary agriculture -related businesses would be permitted." The proposed farm stand uses can be easily accommodated on many of the LI-Zoned properties without posing impacts to any neighboring properties. Most of the properties are well sized and situated to handle traffic that would be related to the proposed uses. Proposals that do not meet the criteria outlined in the revised regulation would require variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Such proposals could also require approval from the Planning Board, where an additional environmental review would be conducted and any impacts related to the specific proposallrequest would be assessed. Determination of Significance - Type 1 and Unlisted Actions SEQR Status: Z Type 1 ❑ Unlisted Identify portions of EAF completed for this Project: 0 Part 1 Part 2 ❑✓ Part 3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF, as noted, plus this additional support information and considering both the magnitude and importance of each identified potential impact, it is the conclusion of the as lead agency that: ❑✓ A. This project will result in no significant adverse impacts on the environment, and, therefore, an environmental impact statement need not be prepared. Accordingly, this negative declaration is issued. ❑ B. Although this project could have a significant adverse impact on the environment, that impact will be avoided or substantially mitigated because of the following conditions which will be required by the lead agency: There will, therefore, be no significant adverse impacts from the project as conditioned, and, therefore, this conditioned negative declaration is issued. A conditioned negative declaration may be used only for UNLISTED actions (see 6 NYCRR 617A). ❑ C. This Project may result in one or more significant adverse impacts on the environment, and an environmental impact statement must be prepared to further assess the impact(s) and possible mitigation and to explore alternatives to avoid or reduce those impacts. Accordingly, this positive declaration is issued.

In /1"11\ Page 1 of 2 R-01-1 2016 Historian Report Town of Ithaca From my appointment in the spring of 2015 to date, my activities have included the following: 1) Attendance at and participation in monthly meetings of the Municipal Historians of Tompkins County. 2) Preparation of window displays in the Town Hall lobby. The current display is of historical maps showing the evolution of the Town from Revolutionary War military tracts to a municipality within the current borders with the locations of the properties of early landowners. An upcoming display is planned for the spring of 2016 featuring early photographs of Buttermilk Falls State Park from the History Center of Tompkins County. Funds will be requested from a Town Fund designated for projects of this kind to pay the History Center for the use of its photographs and materials. 3) Responding to public inquiries. In the fall of 2015, 1 was approached by a Town resident concerning the maintenance of the Bostwick Road Cemetery. The cemetery had until recently been mowed by the Town, but this was discontinued and the reason given by the Town was that the cemetery was a family cemetery and as such did not need to be maintained by the Town. Upon inspection of the cemetery, consultation with the concerned Town resident and RPM*\ consultation with the Historian of Newfield who extensively cataloged the cemetery in the past, I learned that the cemetery is not a family cemetery. I researched the deeds of the property and found that on an earlier deed the cemetery was mentioned and excluded from the property of the landowner of the farm surrounding the cemetery. I also found that on an earlier tax map of the land the cemetery was marked as a cemetery (by a cross). The fact that the current landowner's deed includes the cemetery and that the current tax map does not show the cemetery may have led to the cemetery not receiving recognition. Although I have not completed my investigation of the status of the cemetery, my preliminary recommendation is that the Town resume mowing the cemetery.
