Planning Board Meeting July 20, 1993 Town Attorney John Barney stated that there were two elements to what Coyote Loco is asking for; One is the enlargement of a non - conforming use, which is a Zoning Board of Appeals matter; and the other is site plan approval, which is a matter for the Planning Board. Town Planner Floyd Forman stated that the requirement for more parking spaces is the site plan approval, MOTION by Herbert Finch, seconded by Robert Kenerson. 1. This action is the Consideration of Preliminary and Final Site Plan Approval, and a Recommendation to the Zoning Board of Appeals, for the proposed expansion of an existing outdoor deck from 250 + /- sq. ft. to 1,055 + /- sq. ft., Coyote Loco Restaurant, 1876 Judd Falls Road, Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel NO. 62 -2- 1.123, Business District "C", and 2.

Board member Herbert Finch asked Mr. Strawbridge if there would be a canvas for cover. 2 Planning Board Meeting July 20, 1993 Mr. Strawbridge responded that his client may decide to put up a canvas at some point in the future. Board member Virginia Langhans asked if the expansion of the deck meant more parking spaces were needed. Assistant Town Planner George Frantz responded that the Board must assume that the expansion of the expansion of the seating of parking spaces the restaurant deck is an capacity, expansion of the restaurant, which means an so it would mean an expansion in the number would need. There are 44 parking spaces currently in their front about 38 parking spaces, proposed deck expansion. and back parking lots. so the existing parking The restaurant would require is adequate to accommodate the There being no further discussion, the Chair called for a vote.

AGENDA ITEM: REPORT OF THE TOWN PLANNER. Town Planner Floyd Forman addressed the Board stating that John Barney and himself had a meeting with Cornell University regarding the Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) at which they resolved a number of issues, there are a few things that would need some work. The plan is to come before the Board at the August 3RD meeting to formally incorporate the Special Land Use District (SLUD) proposal into the GEIS as part of the completeness process, and to be brought to a Public Hearing in October. Board member Virginia Langhans asked if there has been a compromise on the height requirement. Town Planner Floyd Forman responded that a compromise had not yet been reached. Town Attorney John Barney stated that on the draft Cornell would see, it would read 30 feet for height of buildings, with provisions available for 30 to 70 feet by special approval by the Planning Board, and anything over 70 feet would require Zoning Board of Appeals variance. 5 Planning Board Meeting July 20, 1993 Chairperson Grigorov stated that Ms. Egan stated that 70 feet was the average height of the buildings on campus. Board member Robert Kenerson asked if some of the heights were based on the estimated future needs. Chairperson Grigorov stated that some of the labs needed to be higher than the 30 feet. Town Planner Floyd Forman responded that Cornell felt that the laboratory buildings needed to be 50 to 55 feet, with each floor at 17 feet. Assistant Town Planner George Frantz stated that another way to deal with high buildings on campus is to have a minimum building setback based on a 30 foot height limit, and for every ten feet over the height limit of 30 feet have additional setback kick in. (Example: a 70 foot building could require a 90 foot setback distance from the edge of the road, instead of the 50 foot minimum required for a 30 foot high building.) Board member Virginia Langhans asked if distance would be measured from the drip line. Town Planner Floyd Forman responded that they talked a bout a figure that was 30 feet, and Mr. Forman felt that 30 feet was much too low. Town Attorney John Barney stated that the version sent back to Cornell would read 75 feet. PUBLIC HEARING. CONSIDERATION OF FINAL SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE PROPOSED EXPANSION OF THE G.W. EHRHART BULK STORAGE FACILITY, AND DEVELOPMENT OF A RENTAL STORAGE FACILITY ON TOWN OF ITHACA TAX PARCEL NO. 35 -1 -7.1 AND THE 14 +/- ACRE PORTION OF TOWN OF ITHACA PARCEL NO. 35- 1 -7.2, LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF NYS RTE. 13 AND NYS RTE. 34/96, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT. G.W. EHRHART, INC., APPLICANT; TROWBRIDGE AND WOLF, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, AGENT. Chairperson Grigorov declared the Public Hearing in the above -noted matter duly opened at 8:07 p.m. and read aloud from the Notice of Public Hearings as posted and published and as noted above. Kathryn Wolf addressed the Board stating that Mr. Overbaugh went before the Zoning Board of Appeals and had been granted a use variance for the development of a rental storage facility; they were also granted special approval for the expansion of the extension of the existing legal non - conforming use which includes the gas storage as well as the retail showroom. Ms. Wolf and Mr. Overbaugh appeared before the Board at this meeting to present the final site plan which included those conditions that the Board placed on the preliminary site plan (Exhibit B). The following conditions were incorporated into the final site plan: An area of 210 feet by 230 feet which is indicated as "Area of Planning Board Meeting July 20, 1993 Possible Future Development ", which abuts the rental storage area, which limits the area that future development would be restricted to. Also shown was a 20 foot no -cut buffer along the northern property line, which would take effect at the time that Phase II, the rental storage units, were actually constructed. Other conditions included the addition of a half dozen evergreen trees added near the gas storage tanks, an additional issue that was raised at the last Planning Board meeting (which was held on June 13, 1993) was emergency and fire access, we have reviewed that and there are no special requirements existing, the existing road would meet the requirements for fire and /or emergency access. The lighting plan would be a requirement before obtaining the building permit. Retail sales are limited to propane and propane uses only. Board member Candace Cornell stated NYSEG that talked with the Environmental reference to developing a fleet of cars, propane gas and he alluded to a propane develop the facility on Route 13 in relat:ionship7 that there was a representative from Management Council (EMC) and made a and a fleet facility for cars run on owner in Trumansburg with hopes to Ithaca. Are you involved in that Mr. Overbaugh stated that NYSEG has not approached him about that. Ms. Cornell stated that her question was that if this was a venture offered to Mr. Overbaugh how would it effect the site plan. Mr. Overbaugh responded that it was in his plans to get into that business, there would be off site pumping stations at the fleet owners facilities because they would not want to drive across town every time they needed to fill up their trucks. Board member Candace Cornell asked Ms. Wolf what map was used to get the hundred year flood plain boundary. Ms. Wolf responded the flood insurance rate maps. Ms. Cornell then asked how the information was transferred to the site plan map. Ms. Wolf responded that it was scaled to equal the site plan map. Ms. Cornell then asked who confident Ms. Wolf was in the accuracy of the scale and the location of the lower boundary. Ms. Wolf responded that she felt very confident that it had been transferred accurately. Ms. Cornell responded that it was the opinion of a number of people on the water resources boards that you can not really depend on the delineation of the flood plain boundaries. There could be a great margin of error. 7 Planning Board Meeting July 20, 1993 Ms. Wolf stated that Ms. Cornell made a good point but the maps used are the best information that they had, and the reason that they felt comfortable with the hundred year flood zone as marked was that during the floods, they visited the site which had remained dry throughout the flooding in the spring of 1993, Mr. Overbaugh stated that his Uncle had owned the property during the floods of 1973 and the land had no flooding then and the floods of 1973 were far worse than the flooding that occurred this spring. Ms. Cornell stated that she was unsure that Mr. Overbaugh could remain confident that the area would remain dry. The Northeast boundary is only 30 feet from the boundary that was drawn for the hundred year flood zone, if there is a margin of error of 30 to 60 feet, and Mr. Overbaugh goes with 30 feet, Ms. Cornell felt that it was too close for comfort, and many people that read about this proposal are uncomfortable with the thought of flooding around the propane tanks and rental storage units being placed that close to a flood plain zone. Ms. Wolf responded that the rental storage units would be built up approximately 8 inches from the ground. The gas storage tanks are also on solid foundations and away from the flood zone. Ms. Cornell responded that she felt it was unwise to count on the hundred year flood plain as marked on Exhibit B. Ms. Wolf responded that she appreciated Ms. Cornell's comments, but it is hard to be overly concerned about the flood zone after viewing the site during the flooding that took place Spring of this year. Ms. Cornell then stated that some of that was manipulated by controlled lake levels. Town Engineer Dan Walker stated that with the problems of flooding this spring was significantly higher than the 100 year mark on the lake, but it was significantly lower than the 100 year flood plains in the uplands. The 1972 and 1973 storms were exceeding hundred year events in the outlying areas. Route 13 did not flood this year, not even where it always floods at the inlet. The flood rate maps are not absolutely accurate horizontally, but the elevations are quite accurate; building elevations are critical. Ms. Cornell stated that in terms of horizontal distance, 30 feet could be a problem. Dan Walker responded that the horizontal distance did not mean anything as long as you are vertically high enough. Fool Planning Board Meeting July 20, 1993 Ms. Cornell then stated that it was the opinion of people on the water resources board that there has been three of the five 100 year floods within a short period of time. The members of the Water Resources Board were concerned about more development in flood plain areas and areas of potential flood hazards and the effect that would have on the economy. Herbert Finch stated that the flood control channels make the possibility of flooding much less of a problem than it was with the floods of 1935. Mr. Overbaugh stated that he checked with his surveyor to see where the stakes were, and there was no sign of any water being there this year. Board member Candace Cornell stated that she felt she must voice her concerns that it could be a little to close to be absolutely sure that you are building in a appropriate area. If there is a 11900 year" flood next year and Mr. Overbaugh has peoples possessions in storage there, it could be unfortunate. Town Attorney John Barney stated that if we have a 11900 year" flood, we would all be worried about possessions. The Town has their own flood plain which regulates construction and it is tied to Flood Insurance Rate Maps, that is where the town has a policy matter has drawn the line and said if you are over the line, you must meet certain additional requirements, if you are not over the line, you do not have the additional requirements. Mr. Barney felt that the possibility of flooding would not be a reason to turn down the site plan being presented to the Board. Ms. Cornell responded that she was not trying to object to the project, she just wanted to make sure that it has been considered thoroughly because it is a little close. An additional point Ms. Cornell wanted to raise was that since the Department of Transportation (DOT) had confirmed their plans for the shady corner realignment, could Ms. Wolf overlay the realignment on her plans to make sure that there would be safe access to the public on and off the property. Mr. Overbaugh responded by stating that safe access has already been checked and double checked with their draft plans, the DOT has not yet sent him any confirmed plans. Ms. Wolf stated that the driveway into the property is located precisely where it is so that it would align with the proposed entry that the DOT would be constructing. Mr. Overbaugh, Ms. Wolf and the DOT worked together to come up with something that would arrive at a mutually agreeable for everyone involved. Ms. Cornell stated that there should be a condition that the staff review the exact design. �C Planning Board Meeting July 20, 1993 Assistant Town Planner George Frantz read from a letter dated June 30th from Janis M. Gross, from Syracuse Department of Transportation (Exhibit D): "The location of the proposed facilities will not pose a conflict with the planned highway construction on New York State 34/96. This project will necessitate construction of a new driveway for the new gas storage facilities in the proposed new location and elevations has been conveyed to Mr. Ehrhart." The only thing that they suggest is the "elevation of the proposed office building should be set with the elevations of the new driveway as a guide." Ms. Wolf stated that if the Department of Transportation's plan changed, Mr. Overbaugh would make changes and come back before the Board for a modification. Ms. Cornell wanted to make sure it was safe. Mr. Overbaugh stated that when the Department of Transportation found out he was buying the property, they changed the angle of the road that was in the preliminary development plan, so Mr. Overbaugh changed his road to concur with their plans and still allow easy access for the trucks. Town Engineer Dan Walker stated that the Town had received copies of the preliminary plans made by the Department of Transportation and the driveway provisions that were made to be sure that the existing properties were not adversely effected by the construction. Mr. Walker then stated that from a technical Engineering standpoint, the location of the driveway as shown would not be a problem at all. Board member James Ainslie asked Mr. Overbaugh if he planned on putting additional storage units in the area set aside as "Area of Possible Future Development." Mr. Overbaugh responded that he would not use the space for additional rental storage units unless the business was much more profitable than he believes it would be. Mr. Ainslie then asked Mr. Overbaugh if he had any specific plans for the space that has been set aside for future use. Mr. Overbaugh responded that he had nothing definite planned for that space at the present time.

Town Planner Floyd Forman addressed the Board stating that the revisions to the Comprehensive Plan should be made within the next week or two. He was also awaiting the SEQR from Ron Brand. He would get the revised Plan to the Board shortly. The Comprehensive Plan would come before the Board at the August 3, 1993 meeting for the Board's approval. After the Board approves the Plan, Mr. Forman will take it to the printers and get it out to the public, give the public a couple of weeks to read and review it, then decide whether to set up the Public Hearing for the 24th or the 31st of August. Mr. Forman stated that the new Board member would start at the September Board meeting. After the Comprehensive Plan is adopted, there will only be two meetings per month. The 11 x 17 maps are being colored and will be included with the Comprehensive Plan; the colors are really easy to see. The agenda for August includes: GEIS SLUR, Ciaschi, Tomlinson, Inlet Valley rezoning. We could put the GEIS on the agenda for the 10th of August, but that would be the only thing on the agenda for that meeting. Board member Candace Cornell asked Attorney John Barney what would happen if someone were to build without a permit. Town Attorney John Barney responded that normally there would be a fine imposed. 12 Planning Board Meeting July 20, 1993 Chairperson Grigorov stated that the Board should make a decision regarding the Anticipated Land Use Patterns Map description (Exhibit A). Does the Board want to use it or not? The Board decided that the description was not wanted as a part of the Comprehensive Plan. AGENDA ITEM: OTHER BUSINESS. Town Engineer Dan Walker handed out a zoning map to the Board to check over and approve (Exhibit C). Mr. Walker stated that the map had been reviewed by Floyd Forman, Andrew Frost, and that he wanted the Board to review it now so that it could make a recommendation to the Town Board to accept the revised map. This map had not gone out to the public at the time of the meeting. Town Planner Floyd Forman addressed the Board stating that the map shows the changes of Hospicare /Chase Pond rezoning, the portion of land along East King Road, shows R15 and R30. Also changes on Coddington Road, there has been a small Multiple Residence District (MR). Mr. Forman also stated, for the record, that" Mike Ocello has been a really big help and we appreciate all of the help he has given us. This took him a number of hours to do and again my thanks to him." Now that this map is on the computer, it will be much easier and quicker to make any necessary changes. Town Engineer Dan Walker stated that the official zoning map will be two times the size of the map that was handed out to the Board, this will be distributes with Zoning Ordinance. ADJOURNMENT Upon Motion, Chairperson Grigorov declared the July 20, 1993 meeting of the Town of Ithaca Planning Board duly adjourned at 9:03 p.m. Respectfully submitted, JA StarrRae Hays, Recording Secretary Town of Ithaca Planning Board 13
