AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDERATION OF SCHEDULING A PUBLIC HEARING WITH RESPECT TO 'A RECOMMENDATION TO THE TOWN OF ITHACA TOWN BOARD FOR A PROPOSAL TO REZONE TOWN OF ITHACA TAX PARCELS NO.6- 44.1 -1 -1 THROUGH -37, 23.0 + /- ACRES TOTAL, FROM MR MULTIPLE RESIDENCE DISTRICT TO RESIDENCE DISTRICT R -30 (11.8 + /- ACRES) AND RESIDENCE DISTRICT R -15 (11.2 + /- ACRES), AND FURTHER, CONSIDERATION-OF SEVERAL SKETCH PLANS • FOR THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OF SAID TOWN OF ITHACA TAX PARCELS NO. 6- 44.1 -1 -1 THROUGH -37 INTO 21 LOTS, 20 OF WHICH ARE TO BE RESIDENTIAL LOTS ON THE PROPOSED R -15 PORTION OF THE SITE, WITH THE Planning Board -2- September 1, 1992 PROPOSED R -30 PARCEL TO BE DEVELOPED FOR A SIX -BED LONG -TERM CARE FACILITY. PROJECT IS LOCATED ON THE CHASE POND SITE ON EAST KING ROAD, MR MULTIPLE RESIDENCE DISTRICT. CHASE FARM ASSOCIATES, OWNER; HOSPICARE OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, APPLICANT; PETER NEWELL, ARCHITECT, AGENT. Floyd Forman, Town Planner, passed out a memorandum concerning the proposed tentative timeline for the Hospicare approval process. [Said memorandum is attached hereto as Exhibit #1.] Mr. Forman stated that this is an interesting project, also one that will serve the community well; also very complicated as it comes before the Town. It involves the Town Board, Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals. There is a rezoning involved in this. There is Planning Board approval for subdivision, a recommendation of the Zoning Board by the Planning Board for special approval and also Site Plan Review on the project, so it is all rather complicated. Mr. Forman stated that this proposed Hospicare timeline is just tentative, nothing hard and fast and firms it is tentative. If everything goes as it should, this can hopefully get Hospicare done by the middle of November of this year, and hopefully things will go well on October 5th, when hopefully, the Town Board will vote to rezone. Mr. Forman stated that tonight, the Board is looking at just a sketch plan review and hopefully scheduling a Public Hearing for the next meeting to hopefully make a recommendation to the Town Board, The Town Board will be meeting on September 8th and again, • hopefully, will set a Public Hearing for the October Town Board meeting. On September 15th, the Planning Board will make a recommendation to the Town Board on the rezoning and also deal with the issue of SEQR, and who ought to be lead agency in this process. Mr. Forman stated that his hopes and expectations were that the Town Board will approve the zoning change from what it is now, the 23 acres multiple residence to both R -15 and R -30 zones, and everything beyond that is conjecture, etc. Chairperson Grigorov asked who was going to present this project. Peter Newell, the Architect for Hospicare of Tompkins County, addressed the Board. Mr. Newell introduced Gerald Nye, Director of the program and Judy Malloy, President of the Board for Hospicare. Gerald Nye addressed the Board concerning Hospicare. He explained that Hospicare is a private, non - profit hospice whose sole mission is to provide medical care, emotional and psychological and spiritural support to terminally ill people and their families. Since their inception in 1981, they have serviced almost 800 Tompkins County residents. Hospicare provides care in a home setting with a staff of four nurses, three home health aides, one social worker and one briefing coordinator, and these professional staff people, who are experts in the care of terminal patients, have their efforts supplemented by a group of between 50 and 60 trained volunteers. Mr. • Nye stated that he would also like to point out that Hospicare has successfully made the journey from financial uncertainty to financial stability, and having attained financial stability, is allowed to ,Planning Board 1llllll3- September 1, 1992 jfocus on some unmet needs of the terminally ill population of (Tompkins County. Principal among those needs were facts that there are literally thousands of Tompkins County residents, namely the elderly living alone, who will not qualify and cannot qualify to be ,,cared for in their homes by hospice when and if they become terminally ill because they do not have a primary caregiver or anyone ''living in the home with them. For this reason and others, he asked the Hospice Board of Directors in January of 1991, to study the feasibility of Hospicare owning and operating its own hospice center; a facility that will allow Hospicare to provide the full scope and range of hospice services so there would no longer be in this community serviced' or unserviced portions of the population. It has taken 20 months to come to the conclusion that a Hospice Center is needed. An architect, Peter Newell, was hired to design the facility and they have found a location where they would like to build this facility. Meetings have been held with the neighbors in the vicinity where the Hospice Center would be located. Judy Malloy, President of the Board of Directors, addressed the Planning Board, first by thanking Floyd Forman and the staff of the Town Planning Department. When the Board of Directors decided to build a hospice center in Tompkins County, they established certain ,criteria for the type of property that would be needed. It needed to be a large enough parcel of land to accommodate a single -story building and parking; they needed to be centralized and in a residential area. They did not want to promote the idea of a remote • "death house" in some far reaches of the County because their Patients have full and meaningful lives. They needed services such as water, sewer, transportation, etc., they needed room for garden ,areas, and they wanted walking paths and areas for private contemplations for families and patients. It took one and one -half years to find this area'. The area was the Chase Pond site. They were anxious to meet the neighbors in the area to get their input and ,see how they felt about what Hospicare's plans were. On July 1st and 29th, they met informally with over 70 residents of South Hill. They have had widespread support from everyone they have talked with. They also have had the pleasure of working with Cornell Athletics and ,Cornell University and they have joined Hospicare in producing a fantastic fundraiser to kickoff their capital fund campaign. Ice Show 192, the Nutcracker, will be presented on October 10th at Lynah Rink, Dick Button of Wide World of Sports will host, and Olympic star JoJo Starbuck will perform, the internationally acclaimed group, The Ice Theater of New York, will perform, and in a repeat performance the Cornell Men's Hockey Team will be performing the Nutcracker in tutus. They are looking forward to this as we need to ,raise a lot of money and have a lot of publicity, so they are hoping this will get them on their way. In closing, Ms. Malloy stated that :she was really proud to live in a community where so many care about the quality of our lives and she thinks the support they have had on this project confirms that fact. • 11 Architect Peter Newell addressed the Board stating that the site that is being discussed is Chase Pond. In 1989, this site was before this Board and had final subdivision approval. There are 108 units Planning Board -4- September 1, 1992 in this development and it,is in a multiple residence zone and they would like to take it down to an R -15 and an R -30. Mr. Newell stated that he would guess under financial difficulties, Citizens Savings ;Bank had to foreclose on it and now they are in a purchase offer stage with Hospicare, provided Hospicare can get the approvals that 'are necessary. Going to the R -15 and R -30, there is a site that fronts on East King Road about 1400 feet. The pond is about two ;'acres. They plan to put the Hospicare facility on the south side of ;the site. 108 units by right was passed for multiple residences ,which is highly dense, however, they can bring into the more open R -30 which, combined with an R -15 and R -30, would get some 28 lots. ,They are opting to put 20 residential units on it, although there could be 24, but they would like to bring it down to 20 and then one large lot that would be permanently reserved for wildlife. There are botanical interests.; this is part of the South Hill Swamp, IT #8, and there are botantical interests which they plan to leave as permanent. They are going to put in a path up the back of the lots from -the Deer Run property up through the front so they can connect with the Chase Farms development. They have worked on several plans. The ideal plan is to come off Chase land with very generous "lots even for an R -15 and this would make it very financially feasible for them as a group. There would be parking at the location of a 5,000 sq. ft. buildings the back side of the foundation would be "open, so in a sense, it would be a two -story from the rear with a parking lot nestled in here [indicating]. This is wooded Cornell land and Mr.. Newell assumed the main approach would be coming off • ;;Route 96B to East King Road. Mr. Newell stated that it is a great benefit to the community and its immediate neighbors, adding that the cul -de -sac is 850 feet. Candace Cornell stated she spoke to Jack Little, who is involved with the South Hill Community Association, and the entire ]neighborhood seems to be in support of the effort. Their major concerns are they want to limit driveway access to East King Road. Of all the plans, they liked this plan the best. The only criticism was that they were going to comeback with more plans, but this has Inot been done. Judy Malloy addressed Candace Cornell's comment by stating that 'the group at Chase Farm had made a suggestion for a liaison. The !,liaison was Jack Little. Hospice met several times with Jack Little and Mr. Little related the information to the group. Ms. Malloy stated she had spoken to Mr. Little that they were in a time bind. Ms. Malloy understood that Hospicare would be going to the Board sometime in the middle or end of September. Candace Cornell again stated the group was concerned with the ,driveways on East King Road and would prefer that the pond remain in a natural state, since it is connected to the South Hill Swamp and there are questions as to the access of the pond which would be in ;terms of liability and whether the Town would be in liability if there were any accidents or if it was kept on Hospice property and 'how that would affect the liability. The siting of the houses is very important. • Planning Board Floyd Forman suggested of the hospice facility, and -5- September 1, 1992 to Peter Newell that he explain the size any plans for potential expansion, etc. Mr. Newell explained that the hospice would ha in the front toward East King Road, parking to the and living room and bedrooms viewing the Lake. The primarily a single - story building, except in the sq. ft., 6 bedrooms, utility space, kitchen, dining space. at. ve a drive - through left, and the view building will be rear. It is 51000 room and office Robert Kenerson inquired as to how a 6 -bed facility was arrived Floyd Forman answered Mr. Kenerson's question by stating that two different studies were done. First of all, a financial 'feasibility study to see what would be a reasonable amount of money that could be raised, and also another study of demographics in ,'Tompkins County and death rates of people in other facilities because C'they do not qualify for hospice. Both studies pointed to the same `figure, which was that a 6 -bed facility is about what they could reasonably expect to be .able to generate enough money to build, and also 6 beds will adequately serve Tompkins County for the next ','decade, maybe the next 15 years, and that there may become the possibility of going to 12 beds, but this facility would never need 'to get larger than 12. Robert Kenerson asked Gerald Nye what was the normal length of stay. Mr. I Nye replied that the average length of stay is 45 days. Judy Malloy explained that the second -story basement would be a storing area for :medical equipment, and a caretaker apartment, which ,would hopefully be a couple; the man would take care of the grounds and facility, and the woman would do light cleaning or occasional meal preparation, and they would both be there at night when the offices would not be staffed. Candace Cornell was concerned about the traffic flow. Gerald ,Nye stated that the traffic flow would not increase that much due to the hospice facility. Also, Ms. Cornell asked how many nurses would be on staff. Mr. Nye stated that they would have 4 nurses. Ms. Cornell also wanted to know if they would have an access for an ambulance. Mr. Nye stated that an ambulance would have accessibility to the facility to take' care of the patients, if an ambulance is ,needed. Robert Kenerson asked Judy Malloy if the houses and lots were going to be sold: to individuals as part of the fundraising. Ms. Malloy stated that when they found the land, they could not afford the price of the land, nor would they have any use (for Hospicare) to have that amount of property. Malloy Brothers offered to purchase half of the property. Citizens was not willing to subdivide the ,property to Hospicare, nor anyone else. In order to purchase the °property, Hospicare had to buy it in one lump sum. Malloy Brothers Construction has agreed to purchase half of the property on the Planning Board -6- September 1, 1992 condition that it be zoned appropriately and approved for „subdivision. Hospicare will do the whole subdivision; they will do ,the whole process and sell half the lot off. Hospicare is the developer. The entire chunk.will be sold after approval and before the roads are installed. John Barney, Town Attorney, stated that a building permit usually is not approved until a road is built or the road is going to be built and somebody posts a letter of credit or bond or some kind Iof assurance in the'amount of building the road is secured. Judy Malloy stated that it appeared impossible for Hospicare to sell off any of that property without zoning approval, so the Board Jdecided to go through the entire process to make it more appealing. ,Malloy Brothers Construction will then proceed forth with developing the property and all the requirements that are contained. Bernie Malloy of Malloy Brothers Construction addressed the ;Board stating that if Malloy Brothers Construction or any other construction company buys it, the parcel needs to be sold as an "entire unit from Citizens Savings Bank. In order for a developer, in ,,this case, Malloy Brothers, to be interested in saying he would buy 'that, they want to make sure it had full zoning and subdivision ,approval to do that. Once it had those two areas, they would go through the process of posting the bond for building the roads and getting building permits, but it was not a situation that they could • offer to purchase it without an approved subdivision at this point, and seeing that it was going to be rezoned from 108 units to 21 lots, 'that seemed best to propose at this point. If the Board does not grant the subdivision approval, Hospicare cannot afford to buy it. ,Citizens is not willing to sell parcel A and not parcel B. John Barney, Town Attorney, stated that this whole process is a two -step process. rezoning and then subdivision approval. Rezoning is a Town Board action and Subdivision is a Planning Board action. ,This action would have to be brought to the attention of Citizens Savings Bank. Floyd Forman,' Town Planner, stated that at the next Planning ,Board meeting hopefully the Board will make a recommendation to the !Town Board and at least Citizens will have a feel for not necessarily ,that exact configuration but, at least an idea if rezoning makes ,sense. They will at least have that to base their decision on. William Lesser asked Mr. Forman what might happen if Hospicare should not stay on that property. Mr. Forman stated that most of the property would be under a deed restriction and would remain green forever. They would get a special permit for a convalescent home, which, under zoning rights, the ordinance does not have something ;that says hospicare or hospice, so it would be some kind of a ,,convalescent situation; that is what they would get a special • approval for. Any changes from that kind of use would bring them back before the Planning Board again. Planning Board -7- September 1, 1992 III Candace Cornell asked John Barney, Town Attorney, about the community's concern over the liability of the pond. Attorney Barney ,stated he did not think the Town would have any liability if it is ;not Town - owned. Attorney Barney was more concerned about the trail. Mr. Forman addressed Attorney Barney stating he would like to see the trail remain with Hospicare and they would let the Town use. Judy Malloy addressed the Board stating that they would like to see public use of the pond. Several comments from the Board were that they would like to see a couple of small boys walk their dogs around the pond and have some of the residents from the hospice center being able to watch this. Hospicare contacted their insurance agent, and the insurance company assured Hospicare that if they °prohibited swimming lessons in the pond, they could see no added liability for Hospicare. In one of Hospicare's meetings with the ,South Hill liaison it appeared that they would like to see a joint, cooperative effort, in other words, if parents and residents respected the dangers of the pond, then Hospicare could see no reason why the neighborhood should not have access to it as long as ,Hospicare kept it with a cooperative nature in mind, Robert Kenerson raised the question as to what was considered II,R -30 and R -15. The R -30 is for the Hospicare facility and the trail would presumably be in R -30 also. Jill John Barney, Town Attorney, asked what was the difference ,between Hospicare I and convalescent center. Gerald Nye stated the difference between'this facility and a convalescent center is the fact that you have to be terminally ill, life expectancy is 6 months ,'or less. Most are cancer patients, elderly, and usually female, over the age of 65, To enter a hospice, it essentially means that you cannot take care of yourself in your home any more, but they are allowed to bring their own furniture into the hospice facility and will make this their new home. The patients in a hospice facility are treated like they are in their own home. They get up, eat, ;whatever, just likel their normal routine at home, whereas, in a convalescent center, they are awakened at a certain time, eat their °meals at a certain time, and go to bed at a certain time. In the hospice center there will be 24 -hour care, seven days a week, with 'nurses, a caretaker, home health aides, and consistent volunteers. When cooing into a hospice, even larger ones, you do not find patients lin agony, it is very calm and peaceful and when the end comes, the ;patient: is calm. When this project is completed, Ithaca will be the smallest community in the United States to have such a facility which ;is very important since there are only a handfull of hospices in the ^,United States now Robert Kenerson asked Peter Newell what the sizes of the 20 lots were in square footage. Mr. Newell stated the lots were close to 20 to 25,000 square feet,adding that this would be a cluster subdivision. There are two zones on one piece of land. • Virginia Langhans asked who would be the developer. Bernie ,Malloy stated they would like to sell the land and then have a house Planning Board 8008- September 1, 1992 built on it, but the intention at this time is to have a lot with a house built on it. This area is presently serviced with water and sewer. John Barney spoke of his concern about the walkway or trail around the pond. He was concerned about the Town being sued or have a law suit against it. He would like to have it separated more from the pond. A natural berm or landscaping would be nice. Bernie Malloy stated he thought there was about a 40 -foot boundary between the land and the pond. The right -of -way is 20 feet. Some kind of deterrent to keep people from using the pond for public use could be' considered. Floyd Forman, Town Planner, asked if the Board had any more comments or questions. • Dan Walker, Town Engineer, stated Chase Pond was developed as part of the flood control, storm water management control system for the whole South Hill complex of Chase Pond and Chase Farm development. There is also a spillage structure that will have to be maintained as part of the final approvals for the operational aspects of this pond for storm water management along with maintenance of it. Chairperson Grigorov asked if anybody else had any comments at this time. ' Dave Auble stated that the pond is very shallow at one end and it should be easy to do landscaping at that end. Don Lifton, who lives at 31 Chase Lane which is part of Chase Farm, stated that he would like to make a few comments. The liaison, Mr. Little, is the liaison from Chase Farm, not the South Hill Civic ,Association. When Hospicare came to their neighborhood, a couple of concerns came up. Mr. Lifton listed the concerns that came out of 'their neighborhood meeting of July 2nd, the day after Hospicare came forward to their neighborhood. "1. We would prefer that a four -way stop sign be installed at the intersection of Chase Lane extended with East King Road. There is from 96B down to Troy Road an • open invitation for speeding. There is no reason for automobiles to slow down. Judy Malloy stated that Hospicare is not opposed to the pond and trail, but the main purpose of Hospicare is to give care to the people at the facility. John Barney stated that he would like to see some kind of distance between the trail and the pond. He does not want to see the Town ending up in a lawsuit in the event someone walks the trail and goes to the pond and falls in and drowns. He would like to see some kind of barrier between the pond and the trail or the trail brought back at least 20 feet from the pond to make it ,so it is not so accessible to the public. Floyd Forman, Town Planner, asked if the Board had any more comments or questions. • Dan Walker, Town Engineer, stated Chase Pond was developed as part of the flood control, storm water management control system for the whole South Hill complex of Chase Pond and Chase Farm development.

There is no reason for automobiles to slow down. 0 r • Planning Board -9- September 1, 1992 2. We would encourage that a small piece of land on this site at the intersection be dedicated for a bus stop. 3. We are concerned about the curb cuts generally because the Chase Farm development has 8 lots for sale, four on each side of Chase Lane, and if, after further review, the building needs to move closer to Chase Lane extended, it would then be preferrable from the neighbors' point of view that their driveway intercept Chase Lane extended rather than East King Road. 4. There are a couple of public policies involved here. It is not the public liability; it is the public policy of the Town Board in how it wants to enhance the quality of life of people who are terminally ill. And, if you take steps to diminish in your site plans the likelihood that children will interact with these folks, then the children and the adults are both at a disadvantage. So, you do not want to do things, in my mind, like barricades on this trail. Distance might be a proper solution, but barricades will cause problems such as children falling and getting hurt and also keep the children from interacting with our neighbors coming in. I do not think that as a taxpayer we should burden the agency with the cost of building the path. I think, we the people, should build that path and not the agency, but I think the Town should build the path. A lot of mature landscaping in place, again, try to mask the impact of the building. 5. To avoid any conflict of interest, it was stated in that meeting that Malloy Brothers will not build this building and I think that is to the agency's credit and to the developer's credit. They will build on the residential area and it should also be pointed out that R -15 is also in harmony with R -15 right across the street from Chase Farm." Virginia Langhans asked Peter Newell if there were going to be a sign out front. Mr;. Newell °stated that there would be a sign. Judy Malloy, President of Hospicare stated to the Board that ,they wanted the structure to look like a home, not a nursing home ,look to it. They are very intent in making the parking areas not as one large lot, but to have it divided with land and trees and shrubs, and it is Hospicare''s fondest wish to have this built in such a way that no one will ever guess it is as large as it is. There is also a sewer line that serves Chase Pond and this building. Ms. Malloy stated that she is very pleased with the timeline plan and she has no intent to rush these plans for this facility. They would really love to build this facility by next Spring. They think this community needs this now. This kick -off show will be a big fundraiser. The timeframe looks very good. Planning Board -10- September 1, 1992 There appearing to be no further discussion or comments from the • Board, Chairperson Grigorov stated that there would be a Public Hearing on the rezoning held at the next Planning Board meeting on September 15, 1992. AGENDA ITEM: REPORT OF THE TOWN PLANNER, Town Planner Floyd Forman noted, that the next meeting will involve Hospicare and hopefully the Board will recommend the rezoning to the Town Board, and the second issue involves signs at East Hill Plaza. Town Planner Floyd Forman stated that the next EPOD meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 16th at 7 :30 p.m. Mr..Forman asked the Planning Board members if they had received the most recent copy of the EPOD legislation. Mr. Forman explained that the Board members would receive the latest revision of the EPOD legislation before the meeting on EPOD. On the comprehensive plan, a public information meeting is scheduled for the 29th of September. This meeting may be held at NCR, but as of yet, the 29th meeting is not confirmed for NCR. The comprehensive plan meeting will be dealing with Chapters 4, 5, and 6. Mr. Forman also told the Board members that the New York Planning Federation will be held in Niagara Falls, New York this • year. More information on the NY Planning Federation Conference will be made available for those members of the Board who wish to attend. AGENDA ITEM: OTHER BUSINESS None.
