Ithaca Town Hall , 215 North Tioga St . , Ithaca, NY At a regular meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca , Tompkins County , New York held at the Town Hall , 215 North Tioga Street , there were present : PRESENT : Supervisor Cathy Valentino ; Councilwoman Carolyn Grigorov ; Councilwoman Mary Russell ; Councilman Klein ; Councilman Ed Conley ; Councilman Bill Lesser; Councilman Tom Niederkorn ; Town Clerk Tee-Ann Hunter; Attorney John Barney ; Director of Planning Jonathan Kanter; Director of Engineering Dan Walker; Highway Superintendent Fred Noteboom ; Budget Officer Al Carvill ; Director of Human Resources Judy Drake ; Director of Building and Zoning Andy Frost . OTHERS : Clifford Blizard ; Richard John ; Doug Sutherland ; Ted Kinder; Lauren Bishop , Ithaca Journal ; Diane Jayne , Joint Youth Commission ; Mike Husar, Cornell ; John Heintz , Cornell ; David Galezo ; Jessica Keltz , Ithaca Times . Call to Order : The Supervisor called the meeting to order at 5 : 30 p . m . and led the assemblage in The Pledge of Allegiance . Agenda Item No . 4 — Report of Fire Commissioners Mr. Romanowski appeared before the Board to give the attached Fire Commissioners' Report (Attachment # 1 ) Supervisor Valentino reported that Mr. Romanowski had brought Fire Department reports for copying and distribution to the Board. Agenda Item No . 6 — Consider Changing Meeting Room Set Up Mr. Kanter — The Planning Board has found , from time to time , there are problems with the set up of the room in terms of applicant presentations . I think the Town Board has probably voiced the same thing in terms of how the microphone is set up , and where presentation boards can be set up , and when slide show are given how that works . One of the problems is that when an applicant has presentation boards , we usually will set them up on the side where that the Board , to some degree the audience , can see them . When that happens the microphone , the way it is currently set up doesn 't go very far from where it is . One possible solution might be a longer cord or a cordless microphone , which probably is better because then you don 't have to worry about where the cord is going . I don 't think those are too expensive . The other one may take some thinking . Where a slide/projection screen might be able to be set up in the room . Looking around it is a little bit problematic in terms of the architectural features that have been designed into the room . The most obvious is somewhere on that wall ( in back of where the board sits), somewhere in the center. But as we all know we have our architectural feature . 1 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Councilman Klein — But that is actually hollow , right ? We could recess some kind of screen under there . I think that is sort of meant to be . We can always relocate that light . Mr. Kanter — Another option is to get a bigger portable screen than we have now , but those are so bulky and hard to set up and move around . Councilwoman Grigorov — It would be great to have something that you didn 't have to fiddle with . Supervisor Valentino — We ' ll have to consider what we can do . We all realize it is a problem . Councilwoman Russell — I think we should put in on a Supervisor' s Advisory Committee agenda to make sure that it doesn 't get lost . Mr. Kanter — We will relay to the Planning Board that it is actively under consideration . Councilman Niederkorn — I think anything we can do to improve the functionality of this lovely room would be just wonderful . Supervisor Valentino — We' re also trying to work on the acoustical problems . Agenda Item 9 — Consider Setting Public Hearing for Acceptance of Kings Way as a Town Road — (Attachment #2 ) Mr. Noteboom — I put a little map in front of everyone on the road that we are talking about . It is up by East King Road and it' s the portion of the road from 96B all the way to the present East King Road . Andy has sent letters to the residents there . We' ve heard no response from them so I guess we are ready to move ahead , set the public hearing . Supervisor Valentino — This has been talked about at length at our Public Works meetings . This seems like the most logical solution , us verifying that we should take over that portion of the road and the County will be responsible for the other part of it . We need to set a public hearing for our next meeting , July 9th at 6 : 30 p . m . Councilman Lesser — Is this part of the route for notifying trucks about the steepness of the incline ? Mr. Noteboom — Specifically we are not taking over that portion of the road . Supervisor Valentino — The County will still have control of that . Councilman Klein — They would turn down Kings Way . The trucks would turn right on to Kings Ways and then that dotted line . . . Councilman Lesser — That' s the section , the County will keep that . Councilman Klein — The State actually will . It 2 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Mr. Noteboom — Well , they've turned it over to the County even though there is some disagreement there we have just decided that we didn 't want to be responsible for that portion because of the heavy truck traffic and bus traffic . Councilman Lesser — Do we have to maintain this proposed Kings Way to a higher standard ? Mr. Noteboom — No , because they are not going up that portion of the road . Resolution No. 68 — Setting an Informational Public Hearing to Consider Accepting a Portion of Old King Road as a Town HighwaV and Renaming Such HighwaV Kings WaV WHEREAS, a portion of King Road in the Town of Ithaca which runs south of the property presently occupied as the Sam Peters ' furniture store (Ithaca tax parcel number 43- 1 -5) from Danby Road east until it connects with existing King Road East, a distance of approximately 700 feet has been offered to the Town for dedication as a Town Road rather than a County Road; and WHEREAS, the Town Board is considering accepting such portion of road as a Town Road,- and WHEREAS, if such road becomes a Town Road, it would be appropriate to rename same to avoid confusion with the newer portion of King Road East which runs on the north side of the Peters ' parcel; and WHEREAS, under the provisions of Highway Law Section 171 it does not appear a formal public hearing on the dedication is required; but WHEREAS, the Town Board nevertheless wishes to hear any persons who might be in favor of, or opposed to such action; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hold a public informational hearing at the Town Hall, 215 North Tioga Street, Ithaca, New York, on the 9th day of July, 2001 at 6:30 p. m. for the purpose of considering whether to accept a portion of King Road East as a Town Highway and whether to rename the portion so accepted to Kings Way; and it is further RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk of the Town of Ithaca is hereby authorized and requested to publish a notice of such public hearing in the Ithaca Journal published in the City of Ithaca, Ithaca, New York, and to post a copy of same on the signboard of the Town of Ithaca, said publication and posting to occur not less than ten days before the day designated above for the public hearing; and it is further RESOLVED, that the Director of Building and Planning is hereby authorized and requested to mail notices of the public hearing to those landowners whose properties abut the portion of King Road considered for such dedication and name change, such mailing to occur at least ten days prior to such public hearing. 3 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved MOVED: Supervisor Valentino; SECONDED: Councilman Lesser. VOTE: Supervisor Valentino, aye; Councilwoman Russell, aye; Councilwoman Grigorov, aye; Councilman Klein, aye; Councilman Conley, aye; Councilman Lesser, aye; Councilman Niederkorn, aye. The motion was unanimously carried. Agenda Item No . 10 — Approval of Truck Specifications and Authorization to Bid — ( Attachment #3) Mr. Noteboom — We talked about this at Public Works . This year we are replacing our 20 ton tilt bed trailer. In some of our discussions there , the Town of Danby has a tractor trailer tractor and a low bed trailer. But their tractor is quite old and getting quite dysfunctional . Our trailer at present , the beams are cracked on it and it 's become non -functional so we 've been using our neighbor' s a little bit . In our discussion with the Town of Danby we came up with the solution that we would buy a tractor trailer, use their low boy , and share it . We have drawn up an agreement which John Barney is looking at right now . I ' m sure that agreement will be coming to the Town Board . Supervisor Valentino — It ' s a nice little piece of intermunicipal cooperation and sharing the cost . Mr. Noteboom — There seems to be opportunity out there . To replace our 20 ton trailer we were looking at about $25 , 000 and it looks like we can buy a used tractor that' s in good condition for less than that . Resolution No. 69 — Approval of Truck Specifications and Authorization to Bid WHEREAS, the Town of Ithaca Highway Department has discussed with the Public Works Committee the need for a truck tractor; and WHEREAS, the money is available from the regular expense account (DB5130. 200), and now therefore be it; RESOLVED, that on the recommendation of the Highway Superintendent and the Public Works Committee, the specifications for a truck tractor are approved, and further RESOLVED, that the Town of Ithaca Town Clerk be authorized to advertise and receive bids for a truck tractor. MOVED: Councilwoman Grigorov; SECONDED: Counciman Conley. VOTE: : Supervisor Valentino, aye; Councilwoman Russell, aye; Councilwoman Grigorov, aye; Councilman Klein, aye; Councilman Conley, aye; Councilman Lesser, aye; Councilman Niederkorn, aye. The motion was unanimously carried. Agenda Item No 11 — Discussion of Financing Options for Town Highway Facility — ( Attachment #4) Supervisor Valentino — We had a meeting with Fran Benedict from Tompkins Trust and talked with them about some different ways to finance this new facility because we don 't have the 4 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved cash to do it and do it right . It needs to be done and now the . bonding rates are very favorable . With that thought in mind we sat down with Fran Benedict . Mr . Carvill — There are certainly two ways to finance any capital project . One is serialized bonding which is long term over a 20 year life at a fixed rate . Obviously a million dollar bonding over a 20 year rate would yield about $ 1 , 675 , 000 . So its cost to the tax payers roughly twice the cost of the building . The other two options available to us are in the form of a bond anticipation note which is short term borrowing over a five year period . First option is bond anticipation note which is variable from year to year. With the present market conditions that yield is from somewhere between 3 and 3 '/4 % . We can also do a fixed rate , which is called a serial BAN . That is at a present market rate of 3 '/4 % . What would that represent if we did some short term borrowing and we held on to our reserve cash . Before the Board this evening is a resolution closing out the residual cash that is remaining in the capital project fund for the renovation and construction of this building , which is approximately $ 125 , 000 . At present we have an existing $50 , 000 already established to fund the initial reserve with potential proceeds coming from the disposition of 126 E . Seneca St . It is certainly a finance recommendation that when the interest rates are good , you work with somebody else ' s money . If we calculate roughly we have 1/2 million dollars in our own reserve funds as residual to help finance that short term bond in the first year or in the second year of payment . Being $200 , 000 of principle . I am able to invest that $500 , 000 over that same five year period and yield additional income proceeds of $ 100 , 000 . If you look over a five year period , we look at a net cost of borrowing of roughly $400 , 000 . In looking at that potential scenario , what would a million dollars cost the Town of Ithaca to borrow for a five year serialized bond . Those figures are there in front of you . It' s a million dollars , the total accrued interest on that BAN is $ 142 , 500 . Certainly there are legal costs to draw up the BAN . There are certainly shared services for this project as well . Engineering , water, sewer are going to share this facility . It is only proper that the water and sewer funds also contribute some form of funding on an annualized basis to pay for a part of this debt . We calculated that at about 6% a year, which could be contributed from each of the water and sewer funds to help pay that BAN . On a tax rate per thousand , the tax rates are pretty clear as to what it would cost the tax payers . Taking some guesses at property values ranging from $80 , 000 to $400 , 000 over a five year period the worksheet shows what it would cost the average tax payer over a five year period for the highway facility . If a piece of property is assessed at $2003000 it will cost that individual tax payer $276 . 24 cumulatively over a five year period . Or, on an average , $60 . 00 per year. The second scenario are the worksheets there , "what ifs" . To give you a perspective on short term borrowing , the comparable assessment of what it would be if you serialized that BAN . (Attachment #2) . It gives us some direction as to where we could go in approaching the schematic design for the construction of the new facility , how we would want to structure our financial , and this can be done fairly quickly . We can grab the market rates anytime between now and the end of the year. Supervisor Valentino — Al , this tax rate , if we looked at the five year bond or the serial bond , and they told us at the bank if we wanted to go with the serial bond it could be a fixed lower rate over the five years that they would be willing to make it recallable if we found that the 5 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved payments were too high after two or three years . They would let us recall it and refinance it . So , the serial bond is probably looking the most interesting to us right now . This assessed value tax rate increase , that ' s assuming the total comes from the General Fund , or have you subtracted out the water and sewer parts? Mr. Carvill — Yes I have . And yes , this would come from a town -wide tax rate . Supervisor Valentino — And that ' s what would be needed from the town -wide tax rate after we ' d taken from our benefit assessment from water and sewer. Mr. Carvill — Correct . Councilman Klein — However, Al , you didn 't subtract the invested capital fund . Mr. Carvill — The interest earning here are not subtracted from the BAN because I anticipated that the interest earning would be used in construction from the million dollars . Is that what you are asking me ? Councilman Klein — In other words , you said if we had '/2 million dollars of our money . . . Mr. Carvill — That would continue to sit in the reserve , that would stay in the reserve until the project was finished . That wouldn 't even be moved into the capital project . We would go to the bank , we would borrow a million dollars , we would deposit directly into the capital project fund , we ' d begin construction . We don 't touch our reserve . Councilman Klein — Our reserve is going to be invested at 4 'h or 5 '/2 % . Mr. Carvill — Right now the most I could get is 4% , maybe 5 '/4 for more than 90 days . Supervisor Valentino — So some of that would reduce this ? Mr. Carvill — The Board would annually look at that and decide if they wanted to use some of that for other projects or to dedicate some of that to pay off the annual amount of the bond . That doesn 't bind us to the arbitrage rules . If you go into the serial bond market you are held to arbitrage . Meaning the if the bond is at 3 '/4 1 can 't invest beyond 3 '/4 . So by leaving our monies in our reserve , it lifts that restriction and I ' m able to enter the market rates with our reserve monies . Councilman Klein — So there probably would be some earnings? Mr . Carvill - Definitely . Supervisor Valentino — These are just our first work through scenarios for people to get some ideas of what we are facing and thinking about for financing this facility . Because the Town of Ithaca has such a good rating we ' ll be able to really take advantage of very low interest _ rates . 6 Approved Approved July 91 2001 Approved Approved Mr. Carvill — Without any commitments and just in conversations , even 3% could be a likely figure . Councilman Lesser — When you calculated the longer term , the 20 year pay back period , did you compute what the impact on tax rates would be ? Mr. Carvill — No I did not do that for 20 years . I can , however, if you would like me to . Councilman Lesser — Is there any way , because I think it certainly is an attractive notion to reduce our borrowing cost and hence our total expenditures , nonetheless we ' re going to have to live with the tax increase , is there any possibility that this can be tagged in a different way so that if we were to choose the shorter term , lower total cost but higher immediate increase in taxes , any way we can tag that to signify to the tax payer that this is a temporary change? Mr. Carvill — I 've already addressed that issue with the Department of Assessment . We identified a specific portion as being raised in taxes to pay for that debt . That could be done , yes . Agenda Item No 5 — Persons to be Heard — Joint Youth Commission — (Attachment #5) Diane Jayne , Joint Youth Commission — I was asked to come here today to tell you what we ' re planning on doing with our summer groups for the youth of our County , Village of Lansing , and Village of Cayuga Heights . It' s much like it has been the last two years where we anticipate to serve about 159 youth throughout the community . The anticipated numbers for the Ithaca Invaders would be 44 , The Learning Web would be 24 , Appreticeships of 6 , Coddington Road CITs would be 6 , Cooperative Extension Special Interest Group would be about 15 youth , Employment approximately 44 , Youth Build would be 6 , and the Science Center Computer Clubhouse would be 10 . That' s 159 altogether. We have staff in all the middle schools at least once each week trying to recruit all the different youth within the communities to represent the Town of Ithaca , Village of Lansing , and Village Cayuga Heights . We also try to recruit youth through the school guidance offices , through teachers , parents , student sign up , fliers , school announcements , newspapers , and the PTA have been the ways that we have tried to address the parents awareness of what we can do for their youth during the summer. It' s been very successful for the last three or four years . We ' ve really been very blessed to have the counselors that we 've hired . They give us a report , probably once a year, about who they' re dealing with , what children they are , and we do try to make sure that they are touching each one of the three municipalities that the taxpayer' s monies are going for. There' s probably a lot of information in that packet (Attachment #3) . Supervisor Valentino — This is different from our recreation partnership . Ms . Jayne — Exactly . Supervisor Valentino — These are considered youth development programs . I was interested why Ithaca Invaders is considered a youth development program ? Ms . Jayne — They came to us , I believe it was two years ago , trying to reach some of the youth who don 't participate in track through the school program . That' s who they try to 7 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved recruit , students who aren 't exactly athletes but may be interested in learning how to run and seeing what a good fitness program can be . Supervisor Valentino — So it' s geared more towards fitness than competition ? Ms . Jayne — Yes . Some of the youth if they are at risk and they really can 't afford to purchase some of their equipment , we do stipend funding for better shoes and things like that . Supervisor Valentino — It looks like there ' s quite a good number signing up . Any other questions? Councilwoman Russell — How do you consider your programs and what is the process that you go through to decide what program you will sponsor? Ms . Jayne — Once a year we send out packets to different organizations that we 've dealt with in the past . They present a budget to us , who they are trying to reach , and if they fit within our program limits , if you look on the first page there , we just try to monitor these groups to make sure they are representing the municipalities that we are . We 've tried a lot of things but some things haven 't worked , like stilt walking , and things like that . Sometimes there ' s a lot of interest and other times there is not . We just try to make a variety of what we think the youth would like . We ask them also . The counselors will come back and give us some ideas . Councilwoman Russell — Would you characterize the main portion of your program as being youth employment and job training ? Ms . Jayne — Job training mainly . Hopefully it will go on to employment once they've gone through some of the steps . Janet Harper has left the group . We now have Scott Hamilton . We ' re looking for more volunteers . What we would like is two from each municipality . If any of you know of anyone who might be interested Supervisor Valentino — This has been one of our really successful programs . Seeing the youth that come through it and get something from it . Agenda Item No . 20 — Steeples Glen Town House Development — (Attachment #6 ) Richard John , Attorney , Thayler & Thayler — I ' m representing the Ernann Corpoation which is seeking to develop the property off of Honness Lane . In connection with that development we ' re seeking consideration of a Special Land Use District . There ' s two representative of the developer' s contractor, Ted Kinder of MCK Builders , who has done other work in the Town of Ithaca , and Doug Sutherland of Franklin Properties . Mr. Sutherland — What I ' d like to do is run through some slides . Some of the things that you 've got in the packet , but I find it is helpful to be able to see something large rather than _ something small . 8 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved First a bit of background . Ernann Corporation is based in Owens Mills , Maryland and has developed other townhouse apartments before . In this particular case the project that we ' re proposing is one just off of Honness Lane down in this area . We like that site basically because it is very close to the campus . It' s got the Ithaca Recreation Way going through the edge of it . It' s an easy spot to get from here to here . The nature of the project is apartments that are targeted to graduate students of Cornell , and principally graduate students involved in the veterinary program . There ' s apparently quite a demand that is unmet at the moment . The University would like to have more housing for that aspect of their student population . That's the primary market . The site is about 10 '/2 acres . As Rich mentioned it is bifurcated . There is an MR zone that runs to the eastern side of the projects and a R15 zone on the left side . This about 5 . 5 acres , this is about 4 . 8 acres , something in that neighborhood . So we ' re dealing with a little over 10 1/2 acre site all together. Again , the principle market , the Veterinary School , though not simply all veterinary students , some number of units we may do some special things to make them extra pet friendly for that component of the marketplace . The site ' s attractive . It' s easily served by mass transit and we think there is the ability to increase service to that particular area with the population that would be added . The other thing that is quite appealing is the recreation way that is about a mile from here to the main portion of campus and as you look at it , it' s a terrific connection by bicycle or by foot . As you all know , the University does not provide much parking on campus so that the ability to get there by bicycle , by foot , by bus is absolutely critical to the project . I think it is also good for the neighbors . So , it' s a bifurcated site . Half of it is zoned for multifamily housing . Half of it is zoned for duplex housing . We did a plan that was designed to meet the existing zoning . The first question is what can you do on the site . The plan on the left . You can see that division that happens between the right side of the drawing and the left side of the drawing . The right side is a townhouse development . This particular plan shows 69 , 3- bedroonm townhouses . Then to the left side is the less intense development . Those are 9 duplex units , a total of 18 dwelling units . If you add the dwelling units eastside to the left , altogether you come up with 87 dwelling units and about 118 , 00 square feet of space . The alternative plan that is shown on the right side , essentially keeps almost all of the development on the MR portion , but not quite . In doing that , rather than 87 units , the right image is of 81 , 4- bedroom units . This is about 113 , 000 square feet of space versus 118 , 000 square feet of space . The right image , which would be the preferred image , is slightly less development . But the right image doesn 't quite fit with the zoning at the moment so one of the things that we ' re here to chat with you today is to see if there is a preference . For those who have been around for a while , you may recall that this is sort of a second proposal for the sight . The first proposal was for the MR portion in the right side of that image . This was a 1987/ 1988 plan for phase three of the Eastwood Commons Apartment Condominiums . This particular plan , which was approved , called for a total of 66 townhouses and also a pavilion . Most of the development was done . In this case , the only portion of phase 3 that was completed was down in the lower corner of that right image . Most of the site was left undeveloped though the site was disturbed as part of that particular process . 9 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved One thing that did occur was the roadway was brought part way into the site and basically the finished roadway was stopped . If you take a look , you ' ll see there ' s another piece of where that road was designed to continue and then as you look at the right image you can see how the roadway sort of turns back into the project . It' s a roadway that' s in use but not one that was totally dedicated to the Town of Ithaca This is all sort of graded out . You can see looking to the right , the area between the roadway and the existing development , that was leveled out . Looking to the left also , the site was basically cleared , leveled , graded and then the development was just never completed . Beyond that area you see some tree cover that in some cases is really quite impressive . This is one more shot as if you were up in the development looking down . The roadway extends just past the completed portion of phase three . Most of phase three is left alone , but this is also been graded out to this point . Then the tree line begins , kind of runs in through there and continues up along the edge of the stream . What we ' d like to do is not this . The reason we ' d like not to do it is several . From a business perspective doing duplexes is not the first interest of the development company . From an environmental perspective this is nice tree cover as I ' ll show you in just a moment . What we ' d like to do is keep this as a conservation buffer, one that could be dedicated to the Town and development rights would be dedicated so that it remained a forever green edge here . Let me go back a couple slides and show you what that preferred alternative looks like . By keeping the development basically on the portion of the site that' s already been cleared , already been graded , already has a road , we conserve more of what ' s a pretty nice green spot in a fairly urbanized portion of the Town . This particular slide was taken standing right about here looking this way . This is pleasant growth and if you go down in through that area in the next week or so , you ' ll get a sense that there ' s a spot here that ought to be left alone . The preferred plan would be to do exactly that . Take some of the development right that exists on that side and build it on the portion of the site that has been disturbed . Essentially not build as much as the law would allow , but build it in a place that is going to be affected least . There is a shot that shows the creek that goes along the upper edge of the project and we 'd like to maintain a nature kept edge so that we ' re not quite up on top of that creek also . That' s anticipated within plan B that you see on the right . To give you a look at the site from the western edge , Eastwood Avenue , which is in the City of Ithaca , comes to the very edge of the site . The slide that' s shown here , you ' re standing in the City of Ithaca shooting toward the edge where the Town boundary begins . A closer shot of it , there' s some houses that are on the edge here and then you see where the forested area begins going further back . Our inclination would be to not run a road through here , but to run some sort of bicycle path for a second pedestrian/bicycle way connection into the City of Ithaca . There 's been some discussion that perhaps that bicylce path might be built large enough so that an emergency vehicle can get in if there is a need to do that . If that' s your preference we can work with you on that . Again , trying to not get that connection so wide that we ' re loosing the sense of green is also desireable , but that' s something that can be worked out during the development process . The two alternatives : on the left side , on the right side . Roughly the same , right side is slightly smaller than the left side , but there again it ' s a fairly substantial development . From a tax standpoint , I think these are probably going to contribute something in the neighborhood 10 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved of $ 150 , 000 a year to all the jurisdictions . It ' s a project of some size , some scale , but I think it' s a scale that is certainly consistent with the scale of Eastwood Commons next door. It's consistent with the scale of the project that was originally approve back in 1987 , and we ' re attempting to work within the roadways that were planned at that particular time . We' re trying to do it on a scale that reflects the neighbors . We' re trying to do it on a site that' s already been disturbed . We ' re trying to maintain an undisturbed and significant green area probably of the 4 . 8 acres that exist on the R15 parcel , we ' re probably leaving a good 3 of the 4 . 8 acres undisturbed . The project , ini either case , will have strong water retention . We' d like to look at a plan where the detention is treated as both a basin , but also a wetlands , so that more in the way of an environmentally sensitive filtering occurs before it goes through the watercourse that' s at the top of the stream . I think you see our dilemma . The plan that the zoning permits may not be as light a touch on the environment as the plan that we ' re proposing . I ' m not sure how to propose the question to you , your preference for Plan B or Plan A , recognizing that each plan is going to be massaged whichever way you go with it . Councilman Klein — What' s the proposed density? Mr. Sutherland - On the right it' s 81 townhouses , 113 , 000 square feet of space , 4- bedroom units . On the left it is 87 townhouses , 118 , 000 square feet of space . Supervisor Valentino — I 've got to stop because I have to open this public hearing . Agenda Item No. 7 — Public Hearing — Sapsucker Woods Watermain Extension Supervisor Valentino opened the Public Hearing at 6:30 p. m. Supervisor Valentino — Has the public notice been posted ? Ms . Hunter — Yes it has . Agenda Item No . 20 Continued — Discussion of Steeples Glen Development Develop — We did calculation on the MR . Figuring roughly 5 acres and 2 , 500 square feet per unit . Councilman Klein — It ' s 17 . 3 . Mr. Kanter — And the R15 density under cluster can have up to 3 . 5 units per acre . It averages out , you could have a permissible density of about 10 over the two properties . Mr. Sutherland — We think in either case we ' re under what the maximum is that would be allowed . In either case we can work with you . Supervisor Valentino — If we can defer this for a moment so that we can get through the public hearing . 11 . Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Agenda Item No . 7 — Public Hearing — Sapsucker Woods Watermain Extension Supervisor Valentino — Is there anyone to speak on this Sapsucker Woods Watermain Extension ? John Heintz — I am with IEDC , representing Cornell University and the Lab of Ornithology project . Tonight we ' re here to ask the Board ' s consideration of an 8" waterline extension running approximately 1 , 500 feet in the Town of Ithaca within the Sapsucker Woods right-of- way , along the west side of the road . Attorney Barney — What size diameter did you say? Mr. Heintz — 8 inch . This is as per drawings previously submitted to Dan Walker and John Kanter of the Town . It' s switched back and forth quite a bit . It' s now a 10 inch line , I ' m sorry . Supervisor Valentino — If there is no one else from the public to speak to this , I ' ll close the public hearing and bring it back to the Board for consideration . We' ve talked about this at several other meetings and you 've got the memo on your desk tonight from Jonathan that he is satisfied that we have the materials we need . Mr. Kanter — When you get to the Environmental Assessment Form , there are two places in there where the 10" reference should be modified from what we indicated as 12" . Attorney Barney — When did we go from 12 to 8 to 10 ? The drawings we have , I think , are showing a 12 " main . Mr. Heintz — It' s recently been reduced . Attorney Barney — Our process calls for us to approve it , what we normally approved is the proposed construction based upon the drawings that are on file with us . Do we have drawings on file that show a 10" main ? Mr. Kanter — What I think we ' re proposing tonight for the Board ' s consideration which would , think , avoid some of this question right now , unless there ' s a question of the hearing notice , that' s a legal issue . We have sufficient information , I believe , to proceed with SEOR determination . That ' s step one . I think after Craig and I talked about it we have sufficient information to recommend that the Town Board proceed at this point with accepting the location in concept of the water line on Sapsucker Woods Road . And then , we would also further recommend that no further actions are taken until detailed construction drawings are submitted for the Board ' s approval which hopefully we would be able to do that at the July meeting . Attorney Barney — My problem is that we 've advertised this , talking about a 12" watermain and the process is that you are supposed to have the drawings in place for people to be able to inspect and the drawings that we have are 12" main drawings . I think that maybe we want to talk about a preliminary approval of your acceptance of the location . But I think we better go back and reschedule another public hearing when we have in hand drawings showing 12 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved what it is exactly that is going to be drawn so that we go through the section 209 approval . steps appropriately . Supervisor Valentino — Could we defer the public hearing ? Do we have to go through the whole advertisement all over again ? Attorney Barney — This is quite a change from 12 to 10 . It is the underpinning of the drawings themselves . Mr. Kanter — I took a quick look in the Engineering Report submitted and that does refer to the 12" water main . Attorney Barney — When are you going to complete this? What' s the timing ? Who has authority to determine what the size of diameter is? Mike Husar, Project Manager, Laboratory Project — Recently we discovered that the existing line was an 8 , and I think that is where the question of the size came up . I could be mistaken and it was a 10 that we were putting in . I would stand corrected . If the report says a 12 , then it is a 12 . Attorney Barney — I ' m perfectly content to move ahead with a 12" main because that is what we understood . If it turns out is not 12 inches , I ' m afraid we've got to come back an go through the process again . Mike Husar — I would stand corrected and say it is a 12 . 1 know we are planning on submitting signed and sealed drawings from the engineer within the next few weeks , so we will confirm that . Mr. Carvill — In the light of finance I really want to insure that Cornell is paying for all of this , correct? Supervisor Valentino — Yes . The resolution says that Cornell is paying for this . Councilwoman Russell — Jon , in terms of the wetland crossing issue , the DEC wetlands permit allows for this sort of activity to take place but they impose conditions upon it . So they do that directly , and not through us ? Mr. Kanter — DEC has issued the permit . My main question with all this prior to getting confirmation from DEC was whether the DEC wetlands permit contemplated and covered any possible wetland disturbance associated with the water main because the environmental assessment that was done with overall Lab of Ornithology project really did not show any detail of wetland along the lower portion of Sapsucker Woods road where the water main is proposed . This confirmation from Ray Knolwand of DEC indicates that yes , indeed , DEC had the utility plan and that their permit does indeed cover wetland disturbance during construction of the water main . They saw no long term significant impacts of that construction and so they were willing to go ahead and issue the wetlands permit to include the water main construction . So yes their permit and their general conditions address it . What I wasn 't fully comfortable with was not having the detailed construction drawings 13 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved available , knowing what kinds of sediment and erosion control measures or other wetland protective measures would be , not only required by DEC , but proposed by Cornell during project construction . That' s why I ' m recommending that the Town , in addition to whatever DEC is requiring , require those specific drawings to be included in the construction drawings so that we are comfortable with control measures . That is what my recommendation would be . Councilwoman Russell — Yes , the DEC permit is very general and didn 't specifically refer to a water main being constructed . Mr. Kanter — Thanks to John Heinz also for helping with the research because it did take some tracking down , but finally we did get the confirmation from DEC . Supervisor Valentino — Are we ready to move the SEAR ? Resolution No. 70 — SEQR Sapsucker Woods Water Main Extension — (Attachment #7) WHEREAS, this action is the extension of the existing water main on Sapsucker Woods Road to provide public water supply for domestic and fire protection service for the proposed new Cornell University Lab of Ornithology at Sapsucker Woods, including acceptance of the location of the water main by the Town Board, as well as the subsequent dedication and acceptance of the water main by the Town Board; and WHEREAS, this is an unlisted action for which the Town of Ithaca Town Board is legislatively determined to act as Lead Agency in environmental review with respect to the extension and acceptance of Town water mains; and WHEREAS, the Town Board, at its regular public meting held on June 117 2001 , has reviewed and accepted as adequate the Short Environmental Assessment Form, Parts I and 1l for this action; RESOLVED, that the Town of Ithaca Town Board hereby makes a negative determination of environmental significance in accordance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act for the above referenced action as proposed and, therefore, neither a Full Environmental Assessment Form, nor an Environmental Impact Statement will be required.

The motion was carried unanimously. Agenda Item 8a — Public Interest Order — Sapsucker Woods Water Main Extension Mr. Kanter — Is this the appropriate place to put in a reference particularly to the sedimentation erosion control measures ? 14 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Attorney Barney — This is basically for authorizing to start the clock ticking on the 30 day referendum period . Mr . Kanter — Could we just have a simple , separate resolution ? Attorney Barney — You need this before you can authorize construction . Normally you wouldn 't authorize construction until the 30 day period has passed . Particularly if you go to bid .

Agenda Item No . 20 (continued ) — Discussion of Proposed " Steeples Glen " Development Mr. Sutherland — Are there questions on the nature of the plan itself? Councilwoman Grigorov — How far is the top building there from the stream ? Mr. Sutherland — A little closer than it probably should be and pulling that back would be something that we would look at . . We put these together as conceptual plans . Councilwoman Grigorov — There might not be room for that many units if you can 't put them that near the streams . Mr. Sutherland — We were looking at a variation that would maintain that number of units , but I think your point is a good one that top building is actually a little closer than it should be . Councilman Lesser — You had indicated that your target clientele was particularly vet school graduate students? Mr. Sutherland — Yes Councilman Lesser — How are you targeting them , or how are you configuring the project to make it particularly attractive to that group? Is this open to only Cornell students , or is this open to the public ? Mr. Sutherland — It is open to the public . We suspect it would be predominately Cornell students and Ernest Jones , principal of Ernann Corporation , has had conversations with the school . The school brought up the veterinary school scenario , part of the targeting goes again to things like pet friendly elements . The connection from here to the school is something like 1 . 7 miles if you were driving . It' s closer if you were taking the short cut by bicycle . It tends to work pretty well , with transit service to the schools . 17 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Councilwoman Grigorov — But there would be no way of not having undergraduates just as well . You couldn 't really keep them out . Mr. Sutherland — I think you couldn 't keep them out , but I think the nature of this project is different than say the projects that you ' re seeing in the College Town area . This is a quieter environment . I think it is for a serious student . Councilwoman Grigorov — That' s what you want , but you can 't really insure that . Mr. Sutherland — It isn 't to say that you couldn 't have an undergraduate that found this . In terms of price points this is equal to or higher than what you find in the College Town area on a per bedroom basis . We think the combination of price points and the more sylvan setting we suspect that in practical terms the number of undergraduates here is going to be quite limited . And conversely the marketing program is going to be much more aggressive towards graduates . Councilwoman Grigorov — A lot of graduate students are family units . Is this exclusively student housing ? Do you have some kind of family housing ? Mr. Sutherland — What' s nice about the Townhouse arrangement is that it would allow for a family to use one of the townhouses . Councilwoman Grigorov — But if you ' re charging per bedroom , it would rule out any families . Mr. Sutherland — Within the overall marketing plan there will be a certain number of units set up a slightly different way . I think that it will deal with graduate student families and , quite frankly from a family perspective , the nature of the development is probably more family friendly . Councilwoman Grigorov — If it ' s not priced out of their range . Councilman Lesser — Have you done a marketing study , beside talking with the people from the college ? Mr . Sutherland — Ernann has done one . Councilman Klein — I ' m somewhat surprised that you don 't offer a mix of apartment types , that they' re all just 4 bedrooms . That certainly limits your marketability to 4 students . Mr. Sutherland — Part of what would be helpful for us , the threshold question of where you go will then allow us to get into the next piece of exactly what you build . Depending on which plan you build , there are a series of decisions that will flow one from another and we would appreciate some help . We' re on the right track with the idea of centering the development on the upper portion of the site leaving the lower portion alone . 18 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Councilman Klein — I do think B looks like a better scheme . It seems to me that a number of years ago there was some discussion about extending Eastwood Avenue . People who lived in that area were not very interested or were very much opposed . Councilwoman Grigorov — It was making it a through street . Councilman Klein — I think you ' re on the right track in leaving that alone and making a pedestrian link or emergency link is probably better. In terms of leaving the more woodsy part of the site more natural is definitely a plus . Councilman Lesser — How much parking are you planning for and is this your assessment of need or is this meeting our minimum requirements . Mr. Sutherland — We think we ' re over your minimum . You ' re looking at roughly 200 surface spaces and another 60 spaces that are in garage elements that run along this side . The site is high here and slopes down so that coming in from the rear we can get two spaces in the basement of each of the townhouses that run along this side . There are about 30 townhouse units altogether, each of these is actually two units . So there would be about 60 spaces in there . The balance would be about 200 spaces . What we ' d like to do is not build more than that . If we needed more than that add them , but only if needed . We don 't want to asphalt all of this . Councilwoman Grigorov — Are these two story buildings? Mr. Sutherland — Two story with the garage element in the lower basement coming in from underneath . This will appear as a two story unit as you come through here but this will drop down a bit so on the backside against the wooded section this actually will be three stories . Councilwoman Grigorov — That counts as under our height , even with the three stories? Councilman Niederkorn — I would anticipate residents who now live on Wildflower drive and enjoy the sylvan setting that you describe , which I agree with , raising quite a little concern about all of a sudden having their backyards being a parking lot . So I would think that the Planning Board would ask you to pay particular attention to whatever kind of screening or landscaping you had between those two areas . Mr. Sutherland — We agree . We see that as being an evergreen patch , probably some sort of fir tree and something that would be indigenous to the area . Councilman Lesser — John , plan A , is that acceptable coverage or location if that were to be built because it seems to me that some of setbacks are on the minimal side . I don 't see any of the 10% open space or recreational deeding to the Town that we would expect . B shows , I believe , those are retention appears . A doesn 't show any retention ponds . With that amount of asphalt I think that will be important there next to the creek and for a number of other reasons . Is that a viable density? It looks too tight to me . Mr. Kanter — Well again , I think that plan was done for conceptual , comparative purposes more than anything else . 19 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Councilman Lesser — But if you start off with too big a base how is that a reasonable comparison ? Mr. Kanter — We have not looked at it that closely yet , in terms of whether Plan A would technically meet the Town ' s zoning requirements because we haven 't gotten to that point yet and because we haven 't been asked to do that . I think it gives a pretty good representation as a ball park figure of number of units . The layout probably would be different . It probably would have to have that connection to Eastwood Lane which may or may not be practical at this point . How realistic a development scenario that is in today' s world , I don 't know . couldn 't really answer that . But I think it gives you a fairly decent number, ball park wise , to look at without having gone through a little bit further level of review at this point . If you take at this point simply the 3 . 5 dwelling unit average that applies to R15 cluster regulations , you would end up with probably a higher number than is shown on that Plan A . Councilman Lesser — Yes , but it' s a strangely configured placed so you ' re going to have a lot more setbacks than if you had one square/rectangular piece of land . Mr. Kanter — Normally , if Plan A were a proposal and it went to the Planning Board as it is , which is what would happen because the Town Board wouldn 't even be involved in that . Basically it would take a very intense review by the Planning Board , perhaps one or two meetings , just focusing on the very question you ' re asking . That' s why it is difficult for me to answer it at this point . Councilman Lesser — I understand that . Mr. Kanter — But it ' s certainly a legitimate issue because the lower part of that site is constrained . The stream is there , it is steeper sloping . There would certainly be a major issue of neighborhood buffering if the units were actually built on that part of the property . Supervisor Valentino — Isn 't it fair Jon , at this point the reason that this is in front of us tonight is , if this went in under current zoning they wouldn 't be here talking to us at all . What they've shown us is an alternative that would be a zoning change that would be our responsibility . The way that we ' ve dealt with this in the past , is to come to the Town Board first to say would we seriously consider this as a reasonable plan and would we seriously consider doing that rezoning so that the Planning Board off and people aren 't doing all kinds of work and then it ends up to us and we say "absolutely not " . The thing that' s in front of us tonight , I believe , is do we like the SLUD concept and would we seriously consider that once the other considerations were taken of by the Planning Board ? I think that ' s the question that is really in front of us tonight to answer. Councilwoman Grigorov — But if we are for handing this to the Planning Board and saying yes we ' ll seriously consider it , I think we really have to seriously consider it . We don 't want to rezone and then have you decide what you are going to do . Councilman Klein — The issue with the SLUD strictly has to do with their occupant requirements ? If the whole site were rezoned multiple residents , if I recall for a memo that went out , we have an occupancy problem units ? 20 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Mr. Kanter — That ' s our understanding . Councilman Klein — What about College Circle , John , do they have smaller apartments up there ? That' s an MR . Attorney Barney — I think they were no more than 3 . Councilman Klein — 3 bedrooms? Attorney Barney — No . No more than 3 unrelated occupants . Which would probably be a three bedroom . Councilman Klein — So , in other words , there is no special exception in College Circle . Attorney Barney — Not that I ' m aware of . Councilman Klein — CollegetCircle is an MR , right ? Mr. Frost — I can 't remember that far back . Councilwoman Grigorov — There was something special about that . Mr. Frost — It' s not a SLUD . Mr. Kanter — Of course , rezoning the whole property to MR could potentially yield a very high density . A SLUD is certainly one way of basically redoing and controlling one unified development proposal for now and the future . At least in terms of what that zoning says you can and can 't do . Councilman Klein — Certainly whenever student housing is discussed it does raise certain flags in terms of adjacencies to residential neighborhoods . Students have a different lifestyle and different schedules than most families and that is where you ' re putting this project . Right within a residential neighborhood . There are concerns within our comprehensive plan in terms of protecting our neighborhoods . I would assume under Fair Housing Laws you can 't really restrict this . Anybody who wants to rent who can afford to rent , you ' d have to rent to whether those are undergraduates or not . I don 't think you could deny that . So the risk is there in terms of interjecting a very large student population within a family neighborhood and I think those are certainly concerns that the Planning Board would address . I think a SLUD we can deal with some of the density issues but we still could not deal with the occupancy issues . Councilwoman Grigorov — I ' m also wondering about the studies that show a need for specific graduate housing ? Councilman Klein — The vet students I know all seem to live out in the country . 21 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Councilwoman Russell — It ' s also an issue that Cornell is using the East Ithaca Recreation Way to attract you to the site . Yet there is currently no safe direct access to the campus from the other end of that recreation way . We ' re getting 348 more potential users of that and they' re getting dumped off on 366 . Councilwoman Grigorov = It does kind of worry me , the idea of all these 4 bedroom apartments , what it is going to do to the neighborhood . Councilman Klein — I can 't imagine that ' s really affordable for family housing . Councilman Lesser — Not at the price point that was suggested . Councilwoman Grigorov — I would certainly think the Planning Board should study it . I wouldn 't want to send it with a big endorsement . They should know our concerns . Councilman Klein — Within the existing zoning it is still a developable parcel because half of it is multiple residents and half of it is R15 . The R15 could be clustered . The multiple residents can be developed in accordance with our ordinance and whatever the Planning Board might determine . In terms of whether we should go to a SLUD or go to a fully rezoned MR , I would like to know what the Planning Board has to say about that . Attorney Barney — I guess there are two questions here . Typically if there is a majority of the Board that is , under no circumstances , going to vote to rezone , in fairness to the developer before they spend more money going down that road , we should probably say so . On the other hand , if there is a majority of the Board that says under some circumstances they would consider rezoning at least you have a shot at getting it passed . Maybe you want , instead of going the full route which typically is to the Planning Board and basically doing a site plan and all the review that goes into that , are you looking maybe for a conceptual response from the Planning Board as to whether they would consider the occupancy issue . Councilman Klein — Doesn 't their recommendation come back before they've done preliminary . . . ? Mr. Kanter — Not normally . Usually they can 't even formulate a recommendation until they've gone through a detailed review . Usually what the problem is with that is it has to go through the SEQR review which could be a very involved process . Attorney Barney — Typically in that process we also draft a SLUD . Something like this , I suspect is going to be a 4/5 page item . We need some guidance in drafting that . Councilwoman Grigorov — I wouldn 't rule out zoning changes . Councilman Klein — Right now I think I have an open mind . The Planning Board would certainly review it in a lot greater depth than we are reviewing it tonight . Attorney Barney - I gather at some point one of the critical issues here is the occupancy issue . Is there a sense here from the Board that if the Planning Board goes through the 22 ,'Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved process and recommends approval with a 4 unrelated persons occupancy that this Board would consider that and might approve it ? Councilman Niederkorn — From my personal point of view , yes . Councilman Lesser — I would consider it , but if we were providing that benefit because there is clearly a real value that we would be transferring to the developer and this is , after all , market price developer, this is not low price , not special population . In that sense I would expect some conditions on the part of the developer. And one of those that I would look at very carefully in the Plan B structure would be fewer units . It just looks awfully densely packed to me . I 'd like to see that eased to some extent . Councilman Conley — I ' d consider it . Councilman Klein — I would consider any number of options . However, if my memory serves me right , I think we have a fairly long and consistent history with the occupancy restrictions and I think there I would have the most problems . Councilwoman Grigorov — I agree with David and Bill Councilwoman Russell — I agree . Councilwoman Grigorov — Has this firm built anything around here before , or anywhere in this area? Mr. Sutherland — It' s a local construction team , it' s a local design team , and it' s a developer that just comes from out of the area . Councilwoman Grigorov — To what extent is Cornell actually involved or did you just talk to them once ? Mr. Sutherland — I ' m repeating second hand . I didn 't have the conversations with Cornell . But my understanding is that Mr. Jones , the principal of Ernann Corporation , has met with Cornell on more than one occasion and has specifically explored this with the Veterinary School . Councilwoman Grigorov — The idea of the need for it would have to be little more specific . Supervisor Valentino — Doesn 't the Planning Board look at the needs assessment? Mr. Kanter — To some extent . They don 't require a full market study , but they would certainly look at a needs assessment . Supervisor Valentino — Do you feel like you have enough direction ? Mr . Kanter — I think I ' d like to get more clarification . Based on what John was saying , there ' s no reason why the Board couldn 't refer this in concept to the Planning Board for a quick and simple feedback kind of a recommendation as opposed to going through a whole SEQR 23 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved review and a whole process not knowing exactly where it is going . This may be partly up to the applicant , as well , but I think I would recommend at this point asking the Planning Board for a quick , direct , simple recommendation . Councilwoman Grigorov — But I wouldn 't be willing to rezone just on that . Mr. Kanter — I think it would certainly help us as staff and help the applicant know if this is something to realistically pursue . . Mr. Sutherland — If I can maybe summarize for a second , what I thought I heard the Board saying was that you were uncomfortable with four rather than three . You have the suspicion that they' d require a mix of units rather than all 4 bedroom units . You appreciate the maintaining of the green forested edge on the west side of the parcel . In exchange , and maybe I ' m taking this a step further, but in exchange for preserving 3 acres or so of green on the western edge of the parcel you would consider a somewhat denser development on the already disturbed portion of the site . Councilman Klein — Denser than what ? Mr. Sutherland — Denser than if you took the same number of units and spread them out over all of the parcel . Councilwoman Grigorov — So you ' re going to have more units than you would have if you developed the whole parcel ? Mr. Sutherland — No . The plan that we showed has fewer units than what would be legally allowed . Whether it' s nine duplexes or eight duplexes , it would be more units allowed under the existing zoning than was proposed . It was 87 units versus 81 units . If the setbacks don 't quite work , you would reduce go from 87 to 85 units versus 81 units . It ' s not a great difference one way or another, but we are , even with the request for a zone change , we ' re proposing fewer units than technically you could build by the law . Mr. Sutherland — I guess , from what I ' ve heard , it would be helpful to the developer if we could come back to the Town Board with a conceptual plan from the Planning Board to make sure that both Boards are on the same page . There are some time constraints on the option on the land that the developer has . So getting an answer sooner rather than later would be very helpful . Councilman Conley — I think a lot of us feel that we would like to hear the reaction of the Planning Board . Mr. Kanter — That sounds to me like that should be a simplified recommendation . Councilwoman Grigorov — Give the Planning Board the minutes from this part of the meeting . Councilman Lesser — I think we ' ll certainly act in good faith , but as you well recognize it is a fairly complicated project it may not be really feasible for us to act in a totally expeditious fashion . 24 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Supervisor Valentino — We want to make sure that we are giving you clear answers . Attorney Barney — This will be a sort of informal referal to the Planning Board for a reaction to the concept , brought back to the Town Board before formal action . Resolution No. 72 — Steeples Glen Townhouses Development BE IT RESOLVED that the matter of possible - rezoning for the Steeples Glen Townhouses Development be referred to the Planning Board for a recommendation regarding the concept put before this meeting for such comments as the Planning Board would care to make.

Councilman Niederkorn — l didn 't hear anybody saying that they would not support the idea of a SLUD . Councilwoman Grigorov — Not necessarily . There might be a SLUD I would not support . Councilman Niederkorn — Is it clear to the Planning Board that this Board would support a recommendation for a SLUD . Councilwoman Russell — It depends on what it is . Councilman Klein — We don 't rule it out . How do we know what we might approve if we don 't see it? Councilman Lesser — I think the point is , would we consider it . Supervisor Valentino — I think we would entertain a SLUD proposal coming up to us . Can we say we would absolutely accept it? We would have to see it . Councilman Niederkorn — We haven 't ruled it out? Supervisor Valentino — We haven 't ruled it out . We would certainly consider, based on what we 've seen , preserving open land , I think that we would very seriously consider a SLUD that we would consider better than the current zoning .

Resolution No. 73 — Sapsucker Woods Water Main Extension 25 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Mr. Kanter — I ' ll say this on the record , as we always say DEC looks at things a certain way and I ' m not sure that their permit exactly would cover all of our concerns so that I would prefer seeing something directly required by us that DEC might not require . We ' re not superceding DEC ' s authority , we ' re simply saying that in addition to whatever DEC requires , we would like to see sedimentation and erosion control measures that directly address any potential impacts to adjacent wetlands during construction of the waterline . It is not contradicting what DEC said , it ' s just saying it a little bit more clearly . WHEREAS the Town has authorized subject to permissive referendum the extension of the Sapsucker Woods Water Main as the Town of Ithaca 2001 Sapsucker Woods Road Water System Improvement, and; WHEREAS such improvement is to be constructed by Cornell University and conveyed to the Town, and; WHEREAS the plans presently before the Town do not fully disclose proposed construction techniques, drainage and erosion control, and other similar details; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that no permit be authorized for construction of the Town of Ithaca 2001 Sapsucker Wood Road Water System Improvement nor for any road openings related to such project until final construction drawings showing construction details, drainage, and erosion and sedimentation control measures, including such measures as they relate to any wetlands in the vicinity, have been submitted to, and approved by the Town of Ithaca Directors of Engineering and Planning.

The motion was carried unanimously. Agenda Item No 12 — Approve Budget Transfers , Amendments, and Modifications Mr. Carvill - It is the responsibility of the Town ' s fiscal officer and myself to report to the Board at various times throughout the year, and we 've chosen to do that semi -annually , this comes a little bit earlier than semi -annually but I felt it was important to address relatively quickly with some of the salary adjustments and for the appropriate funds the needed funds available within our current operating budget without having to disturb future fund balance . The answer to that question is yes . Monies were available in our current operating budget that were unexpended . There was no impact on our operating fund balance for the future and I see no impact for the remainder of the year. So these transfers are a matter of Town business to monitor the budget , to keep the budget in align , and to make sure that we are on top of any over-expended or unexpended lines , and that we don 't overspend . This also includes those salaries' adjustments as well as day-to -day operating expenditures . Utilities that we pay for and various other services and materials that we may need from day to day . It is subject to the Board ' s approval . 26 i Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Councilman Lesser — I think it' s certainly for the remainder of the year. What about after that? I realize that any projections would be less certain at that time , but what are your expectations for the 2001 /2002 ? Mr. Carvill — Certainly taking an examination of the May 31s' report , which is in front of the Board this evening for review , it show us that cash equivalencies which we have on hand , a good barometer of examining and getting gut feeling is the Town in , not just a solvent , but are we in a fiscally solid position ? I would have to say that I am comfortable to say that going into the year 2002 1 don 't see where we are headed for any sharp or critical tax increases . I don 't want to say that too strongly , it' s not for me to assess yet . But we are in the budget process . Certainly the sewer fund is healthy , the general operating town -wide fund , which is the primary fund that funds most of the operations for the Town . Highway fund has been running very smoothly . I don 't see anything critical . Certainly I ' ve begun the budget process a month earlier than usual to attempt to assure us of that . Particularly as we are approaching the construction of another town facility . Cathy and I have and various meetings to review that and to make absolutely sure . I feel fairly comfortable . The monitoring of that is does our cash which we have on hand equal the fund balance as of today . For example , sewer fund has 2 . 7 million dollars invested cash . The sewer fund balance is 2 . 5 million . The difference between that is that we have accrued accounts payables on the books , but I haven 't paid out the money yet . When I look at the two , if I look at fund balance I should see cash and cash equivalents having some similarity . If I don 't see that and I see a wide swing , that raises a flag and no flags have been raised as exhibited in our financial report for the month of May . Supervisor Valentino — The reason that I like to do this twice a year, Al and I both , is because I think if you look where we transferred money from and to it shows that on some level we ' re very frugal what we ' ve budgeted and we ' re able to transfer monies because we haven 't used those funds up . It does give you a good barometer of where we are .

The motion was carried unanimously. Aqenda Item No 13 - Approval Closing of Capital Project Fund — Renovation and Construction of Town Hall Councilman Niederkorn — I am still concerned , I don 't have any problem laying this fund to rest , but I ' m still very concerned about the acoustics in this place , not just this room but the others as well . It' s not going to get any better by just having louder microphones . It seems to me that we need to look at that and if it ' s going to take some money to improve that we need to take that into account . That is my only concern about getting rid of all the money related to this project . Supervisor Valentino — Al , didn 't we put some money aside for some of these other things that might need to be done to the building ? Mr. Carvill — No . Councilman Klein — I think we have a line item for painting the windows? Mr. Carvill — There ' s $ 10 , 000 available to us in our buildings and grounds budget . Attorney Barney — You authorized a maximum expenditure for the construction , in other words , acquisition and renovation of the building , and I think we 've hit that max . The capital project funding in there was in excess of that max . You really can 't use them for something that you haven 't authorized yet . If you put that capital reserve fund into the highway fund , then in next year' s budget chose to budget directly for what improvements you may want to 31 Approved Approved July 9, 2004 Approved Approved make in here , you ' re not subject to a referendum . I think you want to get rid of this capital reserve money so far as it relates to this building . You 've basically done your capital project . Councilman Niederkorn — I don 't have any problems with getting rid of it . What I have a problem with is forgetting the fact that this is a problem . Councilman Klein — Can we transfer some of the money to the maintenance budget? Mr. Carvill — We can establish a line item in this year' s budget . Councilman Klein — You said we have $ 10 , 000 in the buildings and grounds . Mr. Carvill — Yes , for painting outside the building which we haven 't done . Councilman Klein — Can we transfer any of these funds to that line item . Attorney Barney — There ' s nothing preventing you from setting another capital reserve fund for modifications to the Town Hall to include the acoustics , but then when you vote on that you ' re going to vote on a project which would be subject to public referendum . Supervisor Valentino — We've got $ 10 , 000 right now in that fund for painting and like that . It doesn 't look like this season we ' re going to paint , so we 've go about $ 10 , 000 we could use towards the acoustics and some of the other things that we need to do . We can put the budget item again for next year' s budget for whatever we perceive those things are . We ' ll get more solid number on what that might be . We looked at what some of these panels would cost and they are well under that amount . Mr. Carvill — I think the total cost that Dan had was around 2 , 000 . Councilman Niederkorn — That $ 10 , 000 can be used for a consultant to give us some advice . Supervisor Valentino — We got some consultant advice , but you know what , the consultant advice on acoustics is not particularly good . Our architects have given us some . We want to sort of do some minimal things first and see what the affect is because my sense is that it is going to be trial and error. Councilman Klein — There are some , mostly engineers , who are acoustical consultants and perhaps it might be worthwhile to engage one . There are calculations , there is science to acoustics although it ' s also an art . Some multi - million dollar concert halls are terrific and some , after they' re built , need major retro-fit . It doesn 't always work . Supervisor Valentino — This is one of the things we were hoping when we get our new maintenance person hired and on - board , one of the problems we ' ve been having is that none of us have enough time to really lock in on this and find out who the consultants are and do that . If this is one of the priority things that we really want to do , this is one of the things that we ' ve been looking at with our maintenance person we want to hire . 32 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Councilman Klein — I think where Tom ' s coming from is- he probably would rather not necessarily treat it as trial and error, but get somebody and pay them a reasonable fee to have them make some recommendations . Supervisor Valentino — We ' ll certainly try to figure how we can do that . Mr. Kanter —We' ve got normally $ 10 , 000 in our Planning Study Account that we can use for hiring consultants , there ' s no reason it has to be a site planning or outside planning thing it could be an interior planning project . We probably have the money available specifically for that outside of the other funds we are talking about . Supervisor Valentino — Let' s talk about this at the SAC meeting . Why don 't we try to put together a plan of action . My answer to you , Tom , is that we don 't need to mess with this money , we can find the money to do what we need to do .

I pay the water benefit assessment to the receiver of taxes , and the receiver of taxes takes my check, returns my check to me , and it gets deposited into water and sewer fund . It ' s very convoluted . We own the land and from those records in the County and from the available deed we have , October 17 , 1956 this property was made exempt and was broken out to two parcels . One being the water tank on Trumansburg Road , and we own it , it is ours from what I understand from conversations with the Town Engineer and the County . I ' ll give it to John Barney who has to do some kind of deed transfer. Attorney Barney — What actually happened , I don 't think we own it , I think that it was separated out . I don 't think the Town has a deed to the land where the water tower sits . I think that the deed was a tax parcel segregation . The County picked up the title by virtue of that and I think that' s why we accept and pay the charges . Supervisor Valentino — What should we do ? Attorney Barney — What we have to do is get a deed from the County , and with your authorization , I ' ll get a title abstract which should tell us what the status is . Supervisor Valentino — You have my authorization . Attorney Barney — It could be as much as 3 or 4 hundred dollars . Agenda Item No 17 — Authorization and/or Ratification of Possible Agreement with Beyenbachs on Hanshaw Road Sewer Rehabilitation Easement Attorney Barney — We ' ve negotiated an agreement and sent the agreement over to their attorney . I have not heard back from the attorney yet whether they've accepted if formally . One of the things the agreement calls for and why we wanted to get some sort of authorization at tonight ' s meeting is that the Town is agreeing to pay the cost of re-erecting that tree house . Rather than have the Town forces do it , with the liability that could flow from that , it was my suggestion that the Town would take it down but the Beyenbachs would contract with whomever they want to contract with to put it back up wherever they want to put it back up as long as its not in our easement . We offer a flat dollar amount of $750 . 00 , it might be less depending on what their contractor says . I ' d rather do it that way then to have our Town forces do it and have the darn thing fall down . If you would be willing to authorize the Town Supervisor to sign the contract that would permit the Town to disassemble this tree house and then rest it on the ground and pay somebody to re-erect it . Supervisor Valentino — When we take down , and we agree to pay the $750 . 00 , at that time does he sign a release from anything so that he can 't claim that we threw it down or chopped it up . 35 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Attorney Barney — Basically it has some pretty strong release language . Resolution No. 78 — Authorize Supervisor Valentino to Sign Aqreement with BeVenbachs for the Relocation of their Treehouse. WHEREAS, the Town of Ithaca Hanshaw Road Sewer Rehabilitation Project necessitates the relocation of a tree house on the property of Klaus and Christa Beyenbach, and WHEREAS, the Town of Ithaca has offered to contribute monies not to exceed $ 750. 00 for that relocation, now therefore BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Board authorizes Superintendent Valentino to sign the contract that would permit the Town to disassemble the tree house, place it on the ground, and pay the Beyenbachs of up to $750. 00, or whatever the cost of erecting it is, whichever is less, to rebuild the structure outside the Town right-of- way.

Agenda Item No . 22 — Report of Town Committees Transportation Committee Councilman Lesser — . . . the yellow memo that Jon circulated about the Gateway Committee . This is a presentation that the Transportation Committee has seen already . The idea and the hope is that there will be one more presentation to the Town . We ' d certainly encourage and invite everybody to come and to see it because the Gateway Committee is looking for the approval not only of the Planning Committee , but of the Town Board to give some impetus for moving the project ahead . We' re still pushing hard to get some involvement in the planning process for Hanshaw and Coddington Road and found some unexpected assistance from Alan Cohen who if anything feels more strongly that we do even though the roads aren 't even in the City , but lead to it . We will be discussing this matter at the Transportation Committee meeting later in the week . There ' s just a real concern that although the process allows for public input that it can just as easily input and output automatically and nothing changes . In Jon ' s report there is a letter about the one proposed truck route in the Town where the committee is also going to be looking at the possibilities of some other restrictions or directions of truck traffic in the Town . We ' re waiting when Jon has some time to give us an interpretation of what indeed limitation or restrictions mean . Can you say no truck traffic , what does it mean , does it have to be physical limitations ? 42 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Public Works Committee Councilman Klein — Most of the stuff from the Public Works Committee I think we ' ve talked about tonight . The RFP for the consultant selection , that has been sent out to about 15 firms . Codes and Ordinances Councilman Klein - I think Jonathan ' s report covers that . We' re wrapping up our draft map and I think at our next meeting we may be talking about getting the draft ordinances out . Sewer Project Supervisor Valentino — Some of us will be attending a meeting at Cayuga Heights to discuss the sewer project with them in more detail . On the water project , our State Assembly , Marty Luster and Seward are moving forward with a law for allowing Cornell to become a partner with us . Those two projects are making some progress . Agenda Item No 23 — Monthly Report of Town Officials — (Attachment # 11 ) Town Clerk Ms . Hunter — We 've been getting a large number of requests for copies of tax bills and tax receipts from abstract companies and attorneys . We have not been charging for formal tax searches , which would also include water bill information . So we have started to formalize that process . I will happily give that information out to a resident , but attorneys and abstract companies , when the information will be used in a legal process , I will formalize that process . Some people got a little cross about it , but I think everybody' s gotten used to it . Attorney Barney — Is there a fee structure in place for that? Ms . Hunter — Absolutely , it' s a $5 . 00 fee . There is a six month period during which we have the tax bills here at the Town so that the tax search that they go to the County for does not include Town taxes . It is rather a nuisance . Supervisor Valentino — Maybe we should put review of the fee schedule on our agenda for review . Ms . Hunter — We had a visit from the State Archives from Albany to come look at the database that we 've been creating , an electronic finding aid , to bring together all of the records held in the different departments . Actually , Carl Valetino has worked very hard on that . We presented it to the Albany folks to explore the possibility of getting some funding not only for the creation of the software , but to hire personnel to input records . We can certainly maintain the system and move forward , but to input going back . They seemed very enthusiastic to the extent that they wanted us to work up a presentation for the annual Town clerk' s meeting . I think we stand a very good chance to get funding to finish that project and really get your information , your records , accessible . 43 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Highway Department Mr. Noteboom — On .Route 79 , the Ewing , s property , the stabilization project of that stream coming down from Park Lane we 've entered some discussions with NYSEG gas company . They have a gas line up there they' re interested in garnering . They might want to do a joint project . Councilwoman Grigorov — I wondered who Gregory Billing is . Mr. Noteboom — He led the Eagle Scout Troop doing the cleanup . Engineering Department Mr. Hebdon — Our staff has gone from 1 , being me , to 4 . Kathryn started today and that was a good addition . The two student interns have started and been on board for about a week now . They are both very enthusiastic and I am really looking forward to good things from them . West Hill Water System is now sitting in Tee-Ann ' s office anxiously awaiting the contractors . A notice to proceed was sent to and has been received by the contractor for the Hanshaw Road Sewer Line so I assume sometime in the next couple days I ' ll get a call from them to set up a pre-construction meeting . As part of this project we are doing a walk-through with the contractor before they start work . Planning Department Mr. Kanter — I mentioned this in my report but I think it bears repeating that I just wanted to thank Mike Smith for all the hard work that he did on the reapportionment mapping scenarios . He put in an incredible number of hours and . . . Supervisor Valentino — Turned up some very good information for us and did a really great job . Councilwoman Grigorov — What other truck routes were designated other than Pine Tree Road ? Is that known yet ? Mr. Noteboom — The State roads were , the majority of the County roads . I don 't specifically remember like Coddington Road being . Mr. Kanter — I believe Pine Tree was the only new one designated from the Town . There were a few others in some of the outlying areas . Councilman Klein — How did you make out with Ithaca College ? You were going to have another field trip June 8 ? Mr . Kanter — Yes , and it was very good . Supervisor Valentino — It was a beautiful day . It was a very interesting field trip . 44 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Councilman Klein — How does that effect the proposed conservation easement? Mr. Kanter — There ' s a sub-committee who I think we are going to be calling together again now that we 've done this field visit to talk about that . The Ithaca College report provided us with a lot of information about the plant communities up there and , in many ways , fine tuned the work that our consultants had given us . I think , in terms of locations , we have a better idea of where locations of rare and unique plants are located . I think we need to sit down with the subcommittee with that additional information and make some decisions about the boundaries , in particular of the conservation zone , whether we want to reaffirm what we had come up with before or whether some modifications would be appropriate . Ithaca College certainly is asking for modification in a particular area which they see as a potential development area for future college use kind of up near the water tank/observatory area . Councilwoman Grigorov — Does that seem possible that you could do that? Or is it too valuable an area? Mr. Kanter — I ' d say it' s possible . It seems like a reasonable request based on the information they've provided us . I think its just a matter of looking at the details a little more carefully . In particular if Codes and Ordinances would want to incorporate changes into the Zoning Map . Councilman Lesser — Maybe a few more details would help set the situation that I see . They' re planning in the not too distance future to add about 800 beds . They' re growing a little bit , plus they' re having more students choosing to stay on campus . So a lot of where they decide where they are going to locate this is going to affect the location of future developments . So there are a couple of possibilities . One of them is that they are looking at College Circle and completing that build -out , possibly purchasing or making some arrangement there which would shift the campus a bit to the south . The other one that Jon mentioned is if they extend some of the housing on the upper reaches , they put a field house up there , then their need for additional playing fields would have to move up the hill into the demarcated conservation zone . I think that' s the area that Jon is talking about that would be less formal playing fields . I think that' s why it might well be possible to accommodate this because as Cathy said it is a pretty broad , generally flat area up there and they have a number of different kinds of fields and could probably located it around wet spots and older trees and things of that sort . But they've got to decide what they want to do and exactly what they are proposing . Supervisor Valentino — I would say their whole attitude toward a conservation zone has certainly changed considerably so that they understand what it is . I thought the dialogue was really good . We' re beginning a good communication with them . Councilwoman Russell — Do we have more information now on the plant communities up there ? Mr. Kanter — Ithaca College provided us with a whole biological assessment report that they had their own consultants do . It' s actually very thorough and it , in many ways , confirmed what our consultants had found , but it sort of put it into a little bit more of a perspective in 45 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved terms of the overall South Hill area and was a little bit more precise in locating certain features . It actually was very helpful and it is available . Ithaca College will be incorporating that into their overall master plan . Building and Zoning Mr. Frost — It ' s been a particularly busy month issuing building permits . Cornell had several permits issued for projects . This board had discussed , if you ' ll recollect , a couple of months ago Evan Monkemeyer properties on Danby Road . There was an issue at that time of these buildings not following through with subdivision requirements . It turned out the County Assessment had made some mistakes with regard to filling some maps and the end result is that those issues are now resolved and we did issue certificates of occupancy , closing out that whole project . Other than that , a month or two ago we discussed Franco Is Restaurant , and the Planning Board levying a fine of $2 , 500 . We were in court today and that fine was paid . Budget Officer Mr. Carvill — I ' d like to elaborate a little bit more on the financial report this month . I 've been asked to explain when I prepare the monthly report what is it that I look for. In the financial report those areas which are fund sensitive are the general town wide fund , the highway fund , general part town fund , the water, and the sewer fund . These are our O& M . operations and maintenance . Revenues are produced from a tax base , from outside resources such as the County or State , or from independent fees and/or from benefit assessments as in water and sewer, and for the use of water and sewer as charged to each of the users . These are fund sensitive and it is critical to monitor these and examine where we might be from month to month . Fund balance is extremely critical . Only in the ensuing past 5 months of the year, and what we have generated or gained towards that fund balance , but also where we may be going in the remaining 7/ 12 of the month to where when we come into November to look at our ensuing budget . Is there appropriate and adequate funds to call up from that fund balance in attempt to maintain a standard of operations and a standard of tax expectancy within the Town of Ithaca and to provide our services as we have been consistently doing . The quick test to that is that the cash equivalents , being cash and investments , the combination of those two represent as of this point in time , they should be identical or they should be fairly representative of each other. Such as if you look at the General Fund , I believe that there is 2 . 2 million dollars . We have a total fund balance ending as of May 31St of 1 . 8 million . I would anticipate that the cash equivalency on hand would resemble that same amount of money . If it doesn 't , we ' re in the hole . But if we take a look at our cash and cash equivalents , we have cash on hand , which is cash in the check accounts and money market accounts , of $247 , 000 and we have invested cash of 1 . 8 million , totaling 2 . 1 . Meaning that we have more than enough money at the present time to meet , hopefully , any anticipated or unexpected expenses which might arise that we could call up during our current year. It also gives kind of a gut feeling that as we approach the ensuing year, do we have adequate money to again provide those same services in the ensuing year, maintain our employees , as well as maintain a reasonable and comfortable tax base . The answer is clear that in General Fund that looks very likely . 46 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved The second thing that is examined in looking at the report in these sensitive areas is we have 1 / 122 2/ 12 , 3/ 12 as each month goes along I would expect there to be 30% , 40% , 50% of accumulation within each one of those / 12s . I would certainly anticipate that within the third quarter, in the first quarter of the year, we would have spent 25% of what we had budgeted for expenditures . Someplace between 25 % and 30% . If we 've exceed that , that drives me back in to look at our budget to see where there have been large expenditures which is the analysis that goes into the transfer of funds that you just passed this evening . Most of our operating funds , if not all of them , have been around 39% . So the difference between that barometer and the 39% indicates to me that we are under-expensed right now by 3 to 4% . That translates to me that we are moving into a positive fund balance for the end of the year. If we look at our revenue side again , the sensitivity also is the converse . Will our fund balance meet our expectations for anticipated revenue as we budgeted or will we fall short . At the present time all accrued revenues , interest earning which we anticipated , we are all at someplace between 90 and 100% . So we ' ve received in the first 5 month of the year most all of our revenue . That' s very healthy . We' re not kind of hanging out there waiting for it . That' s another good translator. The report on the accumulated cash is to report to you how much money is in a money market account and to demonstrate to you that I don 't leave idle cash . There ' s not surplus cash sitting in a 1 '/4 % money market account . Conversely , the investment report is to report to you that there ' s lots of funds we have out there at the current money market rates . Someplace between 4 and 4 '/4 depending on how lone they go . We don 't have any monies which are invested far beyond 90 days . We do invest between 33 and 45 days . That's to meet our accounts payables . Those bills which are approved by the Board , that money is still in our hands . I accrue them and I recognize those expenses , but I hold on to that money for an extra 5 to 10 days longer. So I ' m able to monitor between 30 and 45 days . Together with those we optimize our fund balance going into the future . Our projected interest earnings says that we are $50 , 000 in excess . Councilwoman Russell — Is there any reason to expect a significant reduction in our revenue stream through the rest of the year? Mr. Carvill — No . Councilman Klein — Actually , with interest rates being so low , you may see a big spike in mortgage tax . Attorney Barney — The long term rates have not dropped . Councilman Klein — However, I think the sales of homes are up . Supervisor Valentino — The sales tax is the thing that is the most worrisome . You never know when the State is going to decide to make a big adjustment . We try to budget that very conservatively . 47 Approved Approved July 9, 2001 Approved Approved Mr. Carvill — Interest earnings were anticipated at 4 % . What Tee-Ann forgot in her report , to her credit and to Carl ' s , is that the indexing that we did we exceed already what even the State Education Department has already mandated through records management . They want to take a look at ours . Do we spend our money wisely? We put a lot of money into this building ' s network system , but you never know if it is going to work . I don 't want to take the wind out of anybody' s sail but I certainly think it should be recognized , Lisa was quite jubilant to realize that throughout the night-time as our system is backing up , all these little expensive pieces of testers were able to track and find a virus in our system . It stopped it , it fixed , and it got rid of it . Everything ran very smoothly . Our money has been well spent . Our people really know what they are doing . I have to pass on to John Barney that our auditors would like their letter. Network Specialist Supervisor Valentino — Lisa has been doing a great job . When I look at some of our counterparts around the City and County and some of the problems they' ve been having , we ' ve been very fortunate . Lisa has kept us in very good shape , up and running all the time . Attorney for the Town of Ithaca Attorney Barney — The Board of Zoning Appeal did vote to appeal the Eddy decision . Supervisor Valentino — Yes , I want to talk about that in executive session . Agenda Item NO . 24 — Review of Correspondence There was none.

As indicated in the attached material, their preferred development scenario (Plan "B") , which includes townhouse apartments primarily _ targeted_for Cornell_graduate_students,_would_involve_a_request_for_rezoning_the_property . from MR Multiple Residence and R- 15 Residence to a Special Land Use District (SLUD) . Some of the reasons for pursuing a SLUD would be to allow more than three unrelated individuals to occupy each dwelling unit (the applicant proposes four-bedroom townhouse apartments intended to be rented to graduate students), to allow for roads and parking areas to cross over the current MR/R- 15 zoning boundary, and to provide the opportunity to combine the two separately-zoned parcels into one coordinated development plan. Representatives of the Ernann Corporation will be attending the June I Ith Town Board meeting to discuss their proposal with the Board. Possible Board Actions : 1 . If the Board is receptive to the rezoning proposal , the matter could be referred to the Planning Board for a recommendation regarding a possible SLUD . 2 . The Town Board could also request that the Planning Board assume lead agency status to coordinate the environmental review pursuant to SEQR. 3 . The Town Board could also authorize the Planning staff and the Attorney for the Town to assist the applicant in drafting proposed SLUD language . Based upon a preliminary discussion with the applicant, some of the issues that would need to be addressed regarding this proposal include : ( 1 ) completion of Sunnyside Lane as a public road as intended with the Eastwood Commons development; (2) possible provision of emergency access (and/or pedestrian and bicycle access) to the development site from Eastwood Avenue in the City of Ithaca; (3 ) establishment of a buffer area adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods ; (4) drainage/stormwater management and protection of the creek that runs along the north property line ; and (5 ) the possibility of recreational or open space amenities (e . g . , picnic areas, trails, etc . ) on the site . Please let me know if there are any questions prior to the June 11 `" meeting .

Catherine Valentino Supervisor Town of Ithaca 215 North Tioga Street Ithaca, New York 14850 Dear Ms . Valentino, On behalf of Ernest Jones of Ernann Corporation, thank you for the opportunity to submit these two alternative conceptual plans for a proposed multi-family townhouse apartment development for consideration by the Ithaca Town Board. BACKGROUND Ernann Corporation, a multifamily housing developer based in Owings Mills, Maryland, has acquired an option to purchase approximately 10 . 5 - acres of contiguous property located near Honness Lane in the Town of Ithaca. Ernann` s intention is to develop townhouse apartments comparable to the adjacent Eastwood Commons condominiums . The proposed development project, to be called Steeples ' Glen, would be targeted to Cornell graduate students, and principally to graduate students associated with the Veterinary School. The roughly 10 . 5 -acre property consists of a 5 . 55 -acre parcel zoned MR (Multiple Residence) and a4 . 88-acre parcel which is zoned R45 . We understand the property is served by public utilities . Upon completion, it is estimated the proposed development would generate some $ 150 , 000 in real estate tax revenues annually. Ernann has retained MCK Building Associates of Syracuse and Richard Johns of Thaler and Thaler in Ithaca to assist in land planning, development and the approval process . 221 W. Division Street • Syracuse, NY 13204 • C315) 475- 7499 • Fax: C315) 471-a02e 46 Atwater Road • Lansing, NY 14ee2 • C607) 533-4e3e Ms . Catherine Valentino June 5 , 2001 Page Two ATTACHMENTS Attached with this submission are two conceptual rendered site plans - Schematic Site Plan "A" and Schematic Site Plan "B" - that illustrate alternative approaches to the proposed development. Also . attached is a Boundary and Topographic Map illustrating the 10 . 5 -acre property. Further, attached is a 1987 Site Development Plan for Phase 3 of the Eastwood Commons, which totaled about 7-acres and included the 5 . 55 -acre MR parcel described above . Although we understand the Town of Ithaca approved the entire 1987 plan, only a small portion of the third phase of the development was actually constructed. TWO ALTERNATIVE PLANS Schematic Site Plan "A" consists of 69 three-bedroom townhouse apartments totaling about 82, 000 square feet of living area before basements, garages, etc on the MR zoned parcel. The plan also includes 18 units in 9 duplex structures that total about 36, 000 square feet before basements, garages, etc . on the R45 zoned parcel. We believe Schematic Site Plan "A" with some 87 total dwelling units and 118 , 000 total square feet of living area on the MR and R- 15 parcels meets the current zoning requirements . Schematic Site Plan "B" consists of 81 four-bedroom townhouse apartments consisting of approximately 113 , 000 square feet of living area before basements, garages, etc . The 81 four-bedroom townhouses are located predominately on the current MR-zoned parcel, but extend slightly on to the adjacent R- 15 parcel. Although smaller than Schematic Site Plan "A" described above, Schematic Site Plan "B" would not meet the current Town of Ithaca zoning ordinance . Schematic Site Plan "B" anticipates the 10 . 5 - acre parcel would be rezoned to a Special Land Use District classification. SELECTING ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVE PLANS Emann Corporation is prepared to proceed with the planning and development of either Schematic Site Plan "A" or "B" but would prefer to develop Schematic Site Plan "B" because it is more consistent with the Ms . Catherine Valentino June 5 , 2001 Page Three developer' s core business . We believe the Town of Ithaca may also prefer Plan "B" to Plan "A" for the following reasons : 1 ) Schematic Site Plan "B" centers the proposed development on the previously cleared and graded MR parcel that was approved for a roughly comparable townhouse development in 1987 . 2) Under Plan "B ," the forested R- 15 parcel would remain substantially undisturbed, thereby providing an effective conservation buffer between the proposed Steeples ' Glen development and the homes to the west of the property. 3 ) Plan "B" can be constructed without extending a dedicated public street to the existing Eastwood Avenue on the far west edge of the parcel where it meets the City of Ithaca. 4) Plan "B" is actually slightly smaller than Plan "A" (81 units and 113 , 000 square feet vs . 87 units and 118 , 000 square feet) . Although Plan "B" contains slightly more parking area, it contains less overall roadway so that the amount of impervious surface is comparable . We are seeking your guidance with regard to the attached proposed Schematic Site Plans . Thank you for your consideration. V s, Douglas B .

Action is Unlisted Action will not receive coordinated review _ Could action result in any adverse effects on to or arising from the following: Cl . Existing air quality, surface or groundwater quality or quantity, noise levels, existing traffic patterns, solid waste production or disposal, potential for erosion, drainage or flooding problems? No significant adverse effects are anticipated relating to air quality, water quality or quantity, noise levels, traffic, solid waste, or potential for flooding as a result of the proposed action. This proposal is for the extension of the existing Town water main on the west side. of Sapsucker Woods Road. Construction will consist of approximately 1800 lineal feet of 12 inch Ductile Iron Pipe water main within the Town of Ithaca (and approximately 600 lineal feet in the Village of Lansing), fire hydrants, and appurtenances within the Sapsucker Woods Road right-of-way to provide public water to Cornell University' s proposed new Lab of Ornithology for domestic and fire protection purposes. The Lab of Ornithology is in the process of replacing the old building with a new and expanded facility in the Village of Lansing. and Town of Dryden . Water service to the new facility will be from the Town of Ithaca Sapsucker Woods Road Tank. Cornell University will be responsible for the funding and construction of the water main extension. The Town of Ithaca Town Board is being requested to accept the location of the proposed water main, and subsequently, to accept the water main within the Town of Ithaca as a public facility. No significant traffic impacts are anticipated. There may be some minor disruptions of traffic on Sapsucker Woods Road during construction of the water main. No significant changes or impacts are anticipated as a result of the new water main. Some sections along Sapsucker Woods fieas have a shallow drainage ditch, while other areas consist of flat grassy areas several feet below the road elevation, ding water was observed in many areas along the roadway during a site inspection on June 4, 2001 . There are several along the route of the proposed water main that appear to demonstrate wetland characteristics (refer to C3 below). ion and sedimentation control measures should be implemented during construction to ensure that there is minimal impact on any adjacent wetlands. C2 . Aesthetic, agricultural, archeological, historic, or other natural or cultural resources, or community or neighborhood character? None anticipated. No significant archeological or agricultural resources are known to exist on or adjacent to the site, or are expected to otherwise be affected by the proposed action . The project area is surrounded by the Sapsucker Woods Bird Sanctuary, which has significant aesthetic and natural values, as outlined in C3 below. There are four houses along the route of the proposed water main along Sapsucker Woods Road. It is expected that there will be some minor disruptions to these areas during construction, but no long-term impacts are anticipated. C3 . Vegetation or fauna, fish, shellfish or wildlife species, significant habitats, unique natural areas, wetlands or threatened or endangered species? The proposed water main traverses the Sapsucker Woods Bird Sanctuary, which is designated by the Tompkins County Environmental Management Council as a Unique Natural Area (UNA406) . The UNA is characterized by swamp forest, upland forest, with small areas of wet meadow, and a pond (refer to attached description and location map of UNA- 106). The UNA has been designated because of its value as a birding site and diverse fauna, quality example of plant communities, importance as a teaching site, presence of state-designated wetland, presence of rare or scarce animals, and scenic/aesthetic nd recreational values. There are several areas along the route of the proposed water main that appear to demonstrate wetland characteristics (beyond the typical standing water in the drainage ditch or grass area adjacent to the road). It appears that a part of the state-designated wetland TA- 13 (refer to Figure 6 from "Full Environmental Assessment Form — Cornell University Laboratory of Ornith ology Project, Nov. 2000" attached) crosses the road right-of-way through the project area. Figure 5 (attached - from the same report referenced above) shows another potential wetland crossing Sapsucker Woods Road from the National Wetlan Inventory Map. A detailed Wetland Delineation Report and Wetland Mitigation Plan was completed by Cornell University as part of the Environmental Assessment for the proposed Lab of Ornithology, although these documents do not include details of the wetlands in the Town of Ithaca along Sapsucker Woods Road. Based upon the Lab of Ornithology plans, which include the proposed water main extension in the Utility Plan (Sheet C4), and the Wetland Delineation Report, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) issued a Freshwater Wetlands Permit, dated April 2, 2001 (refer to attached copy). According to Raymond J. Nolan, of DEC, the Freshwater Wetlands Permit includes construction related disturbance that may occur to the wetlands adjacent to Sapsucker Woods Road. DEC did not consider these short-term unpacts related to water main construction to be significant, but are intended to be covered by the general conditions of the Wetlands Permit. Mr. Nolan confines in his letter, dated June 11 , 2001 , that the Sapsucker Woods Road water line construction was included in DEC ' s review and is covered in their Wetlands Permit (refer to attached copy). Nonetheless, it is recommended that the Town Board require the submission and implementation of detailed sedimentation and erosion control plans and any other protective measures that may be determined necessary to ensure that encroachment on and disturbance to the adjacent wetlands are minimized prior to authorizing the construction of the water main extension. Such detailed construction drawings have not yet been submitted to the Town. C4 . A community's existing plans or goals as officially adopted or a change in use or intensity of use of land or other natural resources? None anticipated. The proposed water main extension is intended to serve the new Lab of Ornithology. Almost the entire area surrounding the proposed project is in the Sapsucker Woods Bird Sanctuary, owned by Cornell, with the exception of several houses along the road. The Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan (Sept. 1993) designates the area in the Town adjacent to the project site as "Conservation/Open Space," reflecting the presence of the UNA and nature preserve. The extension of the water main will make possible the new Lab of Ornithology being built by Cornell, which is a necessary and integral part of the bird sanctuary. C5 . Growth, subsequent development or related activities likely to be induced by the proposed action? None anticipated. The water main extension will serve the new Lab of Ornithology. Only two houses (in the Town of Dryden) are situated along Sapsucker Woods Road that are not currently served by public water. The potential for additional development to be induced as a result of the water main extension is extremely low, since most of the remaining land surrounding the project area is part of the nature preserve. C6. Long term, short term cumulative or other effects not identified in C 1 C5? None anticipated. C7. Other impacts (including changes in use of either quantity or type of energy)? None anticipated. D. Is there, or is there likely to be, controversy related to potential adverse environmental impacts? No controversy related to potential adverse environmental impacts is anticipated. PART III - Staff Recommendation Determination of Significance Based on review of the materials submitted for the proposed action, the proposed scale of it, and the information above, a negative determination of environmental significance is recommended for the action as proposed. It is recommended, however, that the Town Board requite the submission and implementation of detailed,:sedimentation and erosion control plans and any other protective measures that may be determined necessary to ensure that encroachment on and disturbance to the adjacent wetlands are minimized prior to authorizing the construction of the water main extension. ead Agency: Town of Ithaca Town Board eviewer: Jonathan Kanter, Director of Planning r Review Date : June 11 , 2001 ,; Sapsucker Woods Bird Sanctuary T. of Ithaca, T. of Dryden, T. of Lansing, V. of Lansing UNA-106 SLTE NAME : Sapsucker Woods Bird Sanctuary SITE CODE; UNA 4'06 DATA LAST UPDATED: 1 /3/00 • OLD SITE CODE: I I 13 754= .

Ecological Communities Inventoried on this Site: Communitv Name Description Global/State/Local Rarity Farm pond/artificial pond The aquatic community of a small pond constructed on agricultural or residential property. G5 S5 L4 These ponds are often eutrophic and may be stocked with fish. _ Wetland headwater The aquatic community of a small, swampy brook with a low gradient, slow flow rate, and cool G4 S4 L4 stream to cold water that flows through a fen, swamp or marsh near the stream origin. Springs may be present. The substrate is clay, gravel or sand, with silt, muck, peat, or marl deposits along the shore. Characteristic plants include watercress, Chara. Persistent emergent vegetation is lacking. Impounded marsh A marsh with less than 50% cover of trees in which water levels have been artificially GS SS L4 _ manipulated or modified. Purple loosestrife and reed canary grass or cut grass may dominate. _ Hemlock-hardwood A swamp on mineral soils overlain with peat that occurs in depressions which may receive G4G5 S4 L4 swamp groundwater discharge. The swamp maybe flooded in spring and dry by late summer. The forest commonly occurs on very acid (pH<4.5) woody peat at margins of small rain fed basins. The canopy is usually fairly closed and there is a sparse shrub and ground layer. Characteristic trees are hemlock, yellow birch, and red maple, black ash, and, formerly, American elm. Locally, white pine may be one of the dominant trees. Tall shrubs of acid wetlands such as highbush blueberry, black chokeberry and Viburnum cassinoides are present. The herb layer may be sparse and species-poor. Characteristic herbs are Canada mayflower, cinnamon fern, and goldthread. Sedge meadow A wet meadow with permanently saturated and seasonally flooded organic soils in wetlands G5 S4 L3L4 that receive mineral nutrients via groundwater or streams. There is usually little peat accumulation and floating mats are not formed. Sedge meadows typically occur along streams and near the inlet and outlets of lakes and ponds. The dominant species is a tussock-sedge, Carex stricta, usually with about 50% cover. Other characteristic herbs include sedges (C. lacustris and C. rostrata), bluejoint grass, sweetflag, joe-pye weed, tall meadow rue, and bulrushes. Red maple-hardwood A swamp that occurs in poorly drained upland depressions usually on acidic muck over clay. GS S4S5 L4 swamp The bedrock is usually shale. Red maple or silver maple may dominate alone or with yellow birch. Black ash, white pine and hemlock may also be present. The shrub layer is quite dense and includes spicebush, winterberry, black chokeberry, highbush blueberry, red-osier dogwood, arrowwood, and nannyberry. The herb layer is often dominated by cinnamon fern. Herbs include skunk cabbage, jewelweed, and sedges. _ Deep emergent marsh Deep marshes have a water depth ranging from 15 cm to 2 m. The substrate is almost always G4 S4 L4 wet and there is usually standing water in autumn. Characteristic vegetation includes emergent aquatics such as yellow pond lily, white waterlily, cattails, bulrushes, burreed, and arrow arum. Disturbed marshes may have purple loosestrife, reedgrass, or reed canary grass. Marsh communities occur on mineral soils or fine-grained organic soils that are permanently saturated. They are often found near the Finger Lakes or in wetlands near a drainage divide. Because water levels may fluctuate, exposing substrate and aerating the soil, there is little or no accumulation of peat. Hemlock-northern A forest that typically occurs on lower slopes of ravines, on cool, mid-elevation slopes, and at G4G5 S4 L4 hardwood forest the edges of drainage divide swamps. Hemlock is a co-dominant species with one to three others: beech, sugar maple, red maple, black cherry, white pine, yellow birch, black birch, red oak, and basswood. Shrubs have low abundance, but striped maple may be present. Herbs characteristic of northern and montane areas are common.

The Committee scheduled their next meeting for June 20, 2001 to approve a revised Zoning Ordinance text for distribution to boards and 3 committees for review and comment, and to continue/complete review of proposed Zoning map changes. ITCTC Planning Committee : The joint Planning/Policy Committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 5h at 1 : 00 p.m. Transportation Committee : The Town of Ithaca Transportation Committee met on May 16, 2001 .

As a follow-up to the discussion regarding the designation of truck routes, the Director of Planning sent a letter to the Ithaca-Tompkins County Transportation Council indicating that the Freight Study consultant' s proposal to designate Pine Tree Road as a "Primary Truck Route" was not something that the Town of Ithaca could support, and such a recommendation should be deleted from . the Freight Transportation Study draft report (refer to attached copy of letter to Fernando de Aragon, dated May 29, 2001 ) , Capital Projects and Fiscal Planning Committee : The Committee met on May 23 , 2001 .

Ithaca, NY 14850 Re: Freight Study — Proposed Truck Routes Dear Fernando: At the May 16th meeting of the Town of Ithaca Transportation Committee, Kim Triggs showed the Committee the draft maps of the Primary Truck Routes proposed by the consultants for the Ithaca Freight Transportation Study. After a brief discussion, the Committee asked me to send this letter on their behalf. The consensus of the Committee is that the proposal to designate Pine Tree Road (a County Road) as a "Primary Truck Route" between State Routes 79 and 366 should be deleted from the study recommendations . Such designation is not something that the Town of Ithaca could support, and would worsen the traffic impacts on an already congested roadway that traverses a fairly densely developed neighborhood. In addition, designating Pine Tree Road as a truck route would be contrary to the goals and recommendations of the Northeast Subarea Transportation Study (NESTS) . Goal 1 of NESTS is to have a transportation system that enhances and preserves the quality of life in neighborhoods, residential and other community areas, with the objectives of increasing safety on neighborhood streets and decreasing the volume of vehicular traffic on neighborhood streets. In particular, Table 4.4 in the NESTS Study identifies traffic congestion, pedestrian/bike safety, sight distance, high vehicle speeds, volume of traffic, and narrow unpaved shoulders among the problems identified by residents for Pine Tree Road off of Route 79. The Town of Ithaca has also heard repeatedly from Pine Tree Road residents that truck traffic is a specific problem on Pine Tree Road that contributes to the above- referenced problems identified in NESTS that needs to be addressed. Designation of Pine Tree Road as a primary truck route would encourage additional truck traffic and have adverse impacts on this already congested road. Designation as a primary truck route would also be problematic in relation to the existing railroad bridge over Pine Tree Road near the intersection of Route 366 . The existing bridge and abutments present physical limitations to large trucks. The bridge also supports the East Ithaca Recreationway, which traverses Pine Tree Road in this location. Any modification of this bridge would have to accommodate the Recreationway. The Committee would be happy to discuss the above with you further. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The member discount was increased 2 . 5% due to the Town Board passing the Transitional Duty program , which was a savings of $ 1 , 600 . Disability Insurance : There is currently one employee out on disability and is expected back to work July 9th .
