At this point, Chairperson Grigorov read aloud from copy of a
letter received from Steve Bowman of Citizens Savings Bank
regarding Lot #14 on the Chase Farm Subdivision: "My client,
Citizens Savings Bank, is selling Lot #14. Lot #14 is subject to
a temporary construction interest reserved to Chase Farm Associates
in August of 1989 when that partnership deeded the lot to Auble
Homes, Inc., the builder of the model home now located on the
premises. In March of 1981 Chase Farm Associates deeded the
existing easement to the Town of Ithaca; the partnership also
granted the Town a temporary easement for ingress and egress for
emergency vehicles and construction vehicles over Lot #14 as
depicted on the enclosed surveys. That grant is to determine when
the roads in: Chase Farm Subdivision, Phase II, is to terminate;
when the roads are completed or at such lesser time that the
parties or their successors may agree. Putting aside the legal
question of whether Chase Farm Associates could give the Town
access rights (i.e., access for emergency vehicles) over Lot #14
that they owned in 1991. I want to explore the Town's releasing
Planning Board 1 7 May 5, 1992
the easement at this time. Citizens has contracted to the sale of
Lot 14 as improved by the dwelling now known as 11 Chase Lane. He
has received his mortgage commitment, but his attorney has raised
an objection to the title, asserting the easement is a cloud on the
title, and rendering the property unmarketable. What steps can we
take now to explore the possibility of releasing the easement? I
would be happy to meet with the representatives from the Town at
the property to confirm that this easement is at best impractical
and unrealistic access to the subdivision. Please advise us
accordingly ".
Board Member Robert Kenerson asked if this was a legal matter.
Chairperson Grigorov stated that they want the Board to
release them from the easement.
Board Member William Lesser stated that the Town Engineer
could tell the Board what the consequences would be if the easement
were released. Part of its purpose was for a second entrance onto
King Road.
Chairperson,' Grigorov asked Attorney Barney if the Planning
Board or the Town Board is responsible to rescind the easement.
:Town - Attorney John Barney.:responde.d -that -both Boards h -ad to
agree that it would be in the best interest of the Town b.ecause it
was -a subdivision that was - approved by the. P_lanning_Board and the
road was approved by the Town-Board,
Board member Robert Kenerson stated that he felt that.if the
easement was needed then it is probably needed now.

OTHER BUSINESS
Stephen Bowman,, representing Citizens Savings Bank., addressed
the Board and statrf that the bank, had purchased several lots from
Chase Farm Properties at a foreclosure sale and has contracted to
sell Lot #14 located at 11 Chase Lane, which is a model home. The
Buyer has objection''to the easement for construction vehicles being.
next to his property. Mr. Bowman, reading.from the Deed, stated
"There Is also granted to the grantee a temporary easement for
ingress and egress for emergency - vehicles and for construction
vehicles of the grantor -over the _property described.-in schedule -B . "
Mr.- Bowman further described the temporary access on Schedule Be
Mr.. - Bowman, - read aloud -f:rom :th-e :Deed, 'and stated.ahat the temporary
easement is to be °.terminated on two events; "temporary easement
shall continue - until such time that -the road for -the 4proposed Chase
Farms Subdivision Phase II is completed and dedicated which would
give the Town other access to the interior of this subdivision from
Ridgecrest Road. Or such lesser time that the parties hereto
and /or their successors in interest may agree.." The ,property would
become more marketable from the buyers point of view and much more
saleable from Citizens point of view, if the temporary easement
could be terminated. There is a legal question of how Chase Farm
Associates could grant the Town an easement for emergency vehicles
over the right of ''way when they only reserved right of way for
construction vehicles. Mr. Bowman stated that rather than
contesting the easement, he wanted to discuss the possibility of
the surrender of the Town's rights to the easement.
Town Attorney John Barney stated that the Town does not allow
a cul de sac of more than 1,000 feet,-and the secondary.easement
was a condition before granting subdivision approval to the Chase
Farm Subdivision approval because there is a cul de sac that is
approaching. 2,000 feet near East King Road which comes in the
middle of the road, and the easement gives easy emergency access.
Town Attorney Barney suggested that the issue should be
investigated further.
Mr. Bowman responded that he would investigate the issue
further.
