Board Member Cornell asked Mr. Nazer if the majority of the trees are on his property with some over hang onto the Suwinski property. Mr. Nazer responded, yes. Board Member James Ainslie asked Mr. Nazer if Mr. Suwinski had any problems with the trees over hanging onto his property. Mr. Nazer responded, no. Mr. Suwinski offered him an easement when he was in the process of buying the property (Tax Parcel No. 27 -1- 16.2). Mr. Nazer stated that he told Mr. Suwinski that he never crossed over to the other side of the fence because he could never get in touch with the previous owner to trim the trees.

The depth requirement in those zones are 200 feet from the front line to the rear line. The existing lot before the subdivision had a depth of approximately 167 feet. The new lot is still non - conforming with approximately 187 feet of depth. Chairperson Wilcox asked if there is a variance already on the Nazer property. Director of Planning Kanter responded, no. Chairperson Wilcox asked if Mr. Nazer did not come before the Planning Board, that he would not be required to obtain a variance. Director of Planning Kanter stated that unless some other action requires zoning aspects, it would not have been noticed. Attorney Barney stated that he talked to the Town's Zoning Officer, and agreed that Mr. Nazer should obtain a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The property cannot be enlarged if it is a non - conforming use, so Mr. Nazer would need to get a special approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals for the enlargement of his property. Director of Planning Kanter stated that this property is non - conforming and the Planning Board ® should consider approving this subdivision. The Zoning Board of Appeals will meet on June 11, 1997 for Mr. Nazer's special approval. MOTION by James Ainslie, seconded by Robert Kenerson: 1. That the Town of Ithaca Planning Board hereby waives certain requirements for Preliminary and Final Subdivision Approval, from the materials Ppreselnted that such Subdivision Checklists, having determined waiver will result in neither a significant alteration of the purpose of subdivision control nor the policies enunciated or implied by the Town Board, and 2. That the Planning Board hereby grants Preliminary and Final Subdivision Approval for the proposed subdivision of +/- 0.14 acre from Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No. 27 -1- 16.2, located adjacent to 1380 Mecklenburg Road, for consolidation with Tax Parcel No. 27 -1 -16.1, a.k.a. 1380 Mecklenburg Road, as shown on the plat entitled "Survey Map Showing Lands of Alicia A. Carpenter Located on Mecklenburg and Bundy Roads, Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, NY" prepared by Allen Fulkerson and dated January 20, 1997, and "Survey Map No. 1380 Mecklenburg Road NYS Route 79, Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York" prepared by Allen Fulkerson and dated As February 6, 1997, and other application materials, conditioned upon the following: a.

Within six months of this approval, conveyance of the +/- 0.14 acre parcel to the owners of Tax Parcel No. 27 -1 -16.1 and consolidation with said Tax Parcel, and submission of the deed and a copy of the consolidation request to be provided to the Town Planner. Planner Geri Tierney stated that she recommends that the Planning Board waive the mortgager's certificate. The subdivision plat checklist was marked conditional. She did not know if there was a mortgage or not when the packets were mailed. There is a mortgager, but since this is such a small subdivision, it would be better for the Board to waive that requirement. Otherwise the Board would need to add a condition into the resolution. Director of Planning Kanter asked if Mr. Nazer has a mortgage on his property (Tax Parcel No. 27 -1- 16.1). Planner Tierney stated that the Suwinski's have a mortgage on the property purchased from • the Carpenters (Tax Parcel No. 27 -1- 16.2). Attorney Barney asked if the piece of land (Tax Parcel No. 27 -1 -16.2) being subdivided and consolidated to Mr. Nazer's property (Tax Parcel No. 27 -1 -16.1) has a mortgage on it. Planner Tierney responded, yes. Board Member Ainslie asked if the bank holding the mortgage for the Suwinski's have to release that portion of the land. Attorney Barney stated that the bank should release that particular piece of land in order to allow this subdivision to be completed. Mr. Nazer should mention to his lawyer that he should obtain a release from the Suwinski's mortgage for the 0.14 +/- acres. Chairperson Wilcox stated that he would like that as a condition in the proposed resolution, and asked Attorney Barney what the condition should say. Attorney Barney stated that the condition should read "receipt of a release from the mortgagee of the Suwinski parcel releasing the lien of any mortgage on the .14 acre parcel." Attorney Barney stated that the last sentence of condition "c ", should read "a copy of the consolidation request addressed to the Tompkins County Department of Assessment to be provided to the Town Planner." • There being no further discussion, Chairperson Wilcox called for a vote. C] • PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 6 APPROVED - JUNE 33 1997 AYES - Wilcox, Ainslie, Kenerson, Cornell. NAYS - None. The MOTION was declared to be carried unanimously. (NOTE: The adopted resolution is hereto attached as Exhibit #3.) Chairperson Wilcox duly closed the Mecklenburg Road at 8:04 p.m. MAY 2% 1997 matter of Suwinski /Nazer Subdivision at 1380 AGENDA ITEM: SEQR DETERMINATION PROPOSED GRIGOROV SUBDIVISION, CODDINGTON ROAD. Chairperson Wilcox duly opened the above - mentioned matter at 8:05 p.m., and read aloud from the Agenda. Town Board Member, Councilwoman Carolyn Grigorov, stated that Coddington Road, Tax Parcel No. 51- 1 -3.2, was originally one large farm. The property is now divided into two parcels by the South Hill Trail. The gorge side (Parcel 2 on the map entitled "Final Plat Grigorov Subdivision ") of the trail is in the Conservation District. Parcel 2 would be conveyed to the City of Ithaca for parkland. This is a more restrictive way to classify land than a conservation zone to keep the land the way it is. The City of Ithaca plans to make Parcel 2 a passive park. The City of Ithaca needs park land for the exchange of Inlet Park. The proposal with the City of Ithaca worked out well for her because she would be building a house on Parcel 1. If the City buys Parcel 2 for park land she would not have to sell any of the remaining land to build her new house. Chairperson Wilcox stated that there are very steep slopes around the gorge. Councilwoman Grigorov stated that there are steep slopes, highly erodible slopes. Parcel 2 would not be suitable for a ball park, it would just be a passive park for the City of Ithaca. Chairperson Wilcox asked if Parcel 2 does not become a park land, that the current zoning allows one house every seven acres. Director of Planning Kanter responded, yes. Chairperson Wilcox asked Councilwoman Grigorov if she sells Parcel 2 to the City of Ithaca would preclude that. Councilwoman Grigorov responded, yes. Director of Planning Kanter pointed out on the map entitled "Final Plat Grigorov Subdivision ", where the Town's South Hill Recreationway splits the current Tax Parcel No. 51 -1 -3.2 into Parcel 1 and Parcel 2. Mr. Kanter stated that Parcel 2 is 35.65 acres that would be conveyed to the City of Ithaca, is bordered on the west side by the Recreationway and the east side of the City's PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 7 APPROVED - JUNE 311997 ® Watershed lands. MAY 20, 1997 Chairperson Wilcox asked if the northwest corner lot was subdivided off of Tax Parcel No. 51- 1 -3.2 in the past. Councilwoman Grigorov responded, yes, several years ago. The north side of Parcel 2 is the Terepka land that is in the Land Trust. This would be a big section of untouched land. Chairperson Wilcox stated that the Planning Board received letters from City Attorney Mariette Geldenhuys, Legal Assistant Elizabeth Costello, and the Tompkins County Commissioner of Planning James Hanson. The letter from Attorney Geldenhuys states "The acquisition of this and other parcels in the Six Mile Creek area is part of the process whereby the City will alienate parkland on Inlet Island, and acquire substitute parkland as required by State Legislation. All parcels acquired as part of this project will be designated as parkland." Director of Planning Kanter stated that it is legally mandated by State Law to authorize the City of Ithaca to proceed with the Inlet Island Park substitution program. Chapter 242 of the 1995 session laws authorizes the City of Ithaca to alienate certain parkland parcels and acquire other parcels as substitutes. Chairperson Wilcox stated that the, law states that this must be set aside as parkland to replace the land on Inlet Park. Chairperson Wilcox stated that the Town's Conservation Board Environmental Review Committee's comments mention that they do not have any objections to the subdivision, and they were pleased that the subdivision was being made for positive environmental reasons. MOTION by Candace Cornell, seconded by Robert Kenerson: NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the Town of Ithaca Planning 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. There being no further discussion, Chairperson Wilcox called for a vote. AYES - Wilcox, Ainslie, Kenerson, Cornell. NAYS - None. The MOTION was declared to be carried unanimously. 0 (NOTE: The adopted resolution is hereto attached as Exhibit #4.) PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 8 MAY 202 1997 APPROVED - JUNE 39 1997 •Chairperson Wilcox duly closed the SEQR Determination for Grigorov Subdivision on Coddington Road at 8:10 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING. CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY AND FINAL SUBDIVISION APPROVAL FOR THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OF +/- 35.65 ACRE FROM TOWN OF ITHACA TAX PARCEL NO 51=11m3 l, +/- 72.1 ACRES TOTAL AREA, LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF CODDINGTON ROAD APPROXIMATELY 1,130 FEET EAST OF TROY ROAD, FOR CONVEYANCE TO THE CITY OF ITHACA FOR USE AS PUBLIC PARK LAND, RESIDENCE DISTRICT R -30 AND CD- CONSERVATION DISTRICT. CAROLYN GRIGOROV, OWNER/APPLICANT. Chairperson Wilcox declared the above -noted matter duly opened at 8:11 p.m., and read aloud from the Notice of Public Hearings as posted and published and as noted above. Board Member Cornell asked if hunting is allowed on the City park land. Director of Engineering Daniel Walker stated that the City does not own the land yet, so they can not enforce at this point. Board Member Cornell asked if this was the City's land would hunting be allowed. Director of Engineering Walker stated that the City posts all of their lands for no hunting. • Director of Planning Kanter stated that the Planning Board was provided with the guidelines on the Six Mile Creek Natural Area, which shows no hunting would be allowed. Chairperson Wilcox stated that the guidelines state that no trapping, hunting, or shooting is allowed on City lands. Board Member Cornell asked if the City of Ithaca is buying other lands at this time. Councilwoman Grigorov stated that she does not think so. Board Member Cornell stated that this is a wonderful idea for the City to purchase the land for a park. Councilwoman Grigorov stated that the park would be better than watershed lands because the City could not consolidate this with the watershed lands next to it. Chairperson Wilcox asked Attorney Barney if he has any concerns about a lot being created with no road frontage. Attorney Barney stated that the Town's Zoning Ordinance has a prohibition against it. There • would need to be a variance obtained. Attorney Barney stated that the subdivision plat shows old railroad farm crossings, and asked if there are any legal rights to use those crossings. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 9 MAY 20, 1997 APPROVED - JUNE 3. 1997 •Councilwoman Grigorov stated that she thinks there is. She understood from Assistant Town Planner George Frantz that she would have the right to use them as driveways, but would not be allowed as public road access. Attorney Barney asked if there are other ways to access Parcel 2. Councilwoman Grigorov stated that a person could go through the watershed property. The City mentioned having paths from the Wildflower Park to Parcel 2. Board Member Cornell asked if Parcel 2 would not be incorporated with another existing lot owned by the City. Attorney Barney stated that the City does not want to incorporate Parcel 2 with the watershed property because it would be used for a different purpose. Parcel 2 would stand alone legally. Councilwoman Grigorov stated that a land locked parcel cannot get a building permit, and she considers that as an advantage. Attorney Barney asked if an easement could be provided to cross the remaining land to give someone a legal right to access Parcel 2. Councilwoman Grigorov stated that she would rather not. • Chairperson Wilcox asked if the City would want that easement. Attorney Barney stated that the easement would go with whoever owns the land. Councilwoman Grigorov stated that the City never asked for any such thing. Attorney Barney stated that the Planning Board would be setting an interesting precedent. He realizes this is an unique circumstance, but the Board is granting a subdivision to a piece of land which the only access to is by hot air balloon or helicopter. Councilwoman Grigorov stated that Parcel 2 could be accessed through the watershed property. Attorney Barney stated that there is no right in conjunction to do that. Director of Planning Kanter stated that there is the South Hill Recreationway owned by the Town, not the City. This trail does not to provide vehicular access. Councilwoman Grigorov stated that this would be a terrific amenity for the South Hill Recreationway Trail for people to walk into the woods. • Board Member Cornell stated that, theoretically, if there was a fire on Parcel 2 the fire trucks • PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 10 MAY 20, 1997 APPROVED - JUNE 11997 could go down the trail. Director of Planning Kanter stated that for emergency purposes only. The City does have provisions for getting vehicles into their watershed lands. Director of Engineering Walker stated that if there was an emergency situation that required extracting someone from that area emergency vehicles could enter through the South Hill Trail. The trail would be adequate for that purpose. The City has light rescue vehicles that are four wheel drive and would be able to access into Parcel 2. Director of Planning Kanter stated that there is a key for the law enforcement to access through the gate onto the Recreationway Trail. Board Member Cornell stated that the precedent would be establishing a land locked parcel that would be used for Conservation purposes only. Attorney Barney stated that the land would be used for park land. He thought the alienation process was to provide park land of equivalent value, and provide parkland that one could get to. Legally, Parcel 2 would not have access to it, except through the watershed district. Councilwoman Grigorov stated that there could be access through the Wildflower area and the South Hill Trail. • Chairperson Wilcox opened the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone from the public wished to speak. No one spoke. Chairperson Wilcox closed the Public Hearing, and asked if anyone was prepared to offer a motion. MOTION by Candace Cornell, seconded by James Ainslie: NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1.

Attorney Barney stated that a condition "c" should be added to the resolution stating "receipt of all required variances from the Town of Ithaca Zoning Board of Appeals including a variance for the establishment of a lot without road frontage."

AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDERATION OF A RECOMMENDATION TO THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS REGARDING A REQUESTED SIGN VARIANCE TO PERMIT AN OFF - PREMISES SIGN • TO ADVERTISE THE EVERGREEN NURSERY SCHOOL SAID SIGN TO BE ON THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OF ANOTHER OWNER ON TOWN OF ITHACA TAX PARCEL NO. 24- 2 -1.2, PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 12 MAY 20, 1997 APPROVED -JUNE 3, 1997 •LOCATED AT 105 DUBOIS ROA c_01A inuN UUFICC [1WNFR• Chairperson Wilcox duly opened the above mentioned matter at 8:30 p.m., and read aloud from the Agenda. Jody Boronkay stated that she is the head teacher and owner of the Evergreen Nursery located at 105 Dubois Road. Most nursery schools provide half day day care, and the Evergreen Nursery School provides full day day care. The School provides programming in the morning, and extends child care in the afternoons for working parents. The dilemma is that the school is off the beaten path, and the School needs a sign placed where it could be seen by others. She surveyed all the parents at the School and had an initial entrance meeting. By doing this she got a feel for how the parents heard about the School. The most effective way has been by signage. During open house, there has been a sign along Route 96 to indicate where the school is. She has been informed by the Town's Zoning Officer that the sign can not be located there. Ms. Boronkay stated that she has tried advertising by radio, at $500 a slot, but there was no response. There was an article in The Ithaca Journal about welfare reform in the City of Ithaca. Once this welfare reform comes into play, there needs to be many more spaces in the Town and City of Ithaca than there is now. Board Member Cornell asked if the school is used as a nursery school. • Ms. Boronkay stated that the Evergreen Nursery School is a nursery school with a little bit of a slant to it. She has an approved program for the school. Board Member Cornell asked how different is that from a regular day care facility in the child care sense. Ms. Boronkay stated that she is a certified elementary school teacher for nursery school through sixth grade. The difference between a nursery school program is that it is more a pre -K program that has a more structured environment than a day care center. A day center is just that, it provides day care for an absentee parent. Right now, the Evergreen Nursery School provides services to many children with special needs. In order to do that the school needs to be certified by the State. They are able to diagnose children's needs and help seek out services for them. There is a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, and a physical therapist that comes to the School, so parents do not have to travel for these services. Most nursery schools do not provide programs all day, but the Evergreen Nursery School does provide service all day. Ms. Boronkay stated that she is a group family home, in order to run the school all day, under the laws of the State of New York. She needs to advertise and get the word out for her services. The Planning Board was supplied with letters from parents stating that if they had not seen a sign they would have not known about Evergreen Nursery School. The school meets their needs. Board Member Cornell asked Ms. Boronkay where she would like to locate the sign. • Ms. Boronkay stated that the sign would be located approximately an eighth of a mile past PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 13 MAY 20, 1997 APPROVED - JUNE 311997 Cayuga Medical Center on the right side of Route 96. It would be at the corner of Route 96 and • Dubois Road on a knoll at the intersection. The land is owned by John Weiss. The design of the sign is professional, and some landscaping around the sign would be done to keep it in the character of the neighborhood. Board Member Cornell asked if the sign would be located on Route 96. Ms. Boronkay responded, yes. It would be on the corner of Dubois Road and Route 96, but it would be angled to face Route 96. The sign would be one sided facing Route 96. Board Member Cornell asked if the address would be on the sign. Ms. Boronkay stated that she would like the address on the sign. Signs are extremely expensive, and she has a hard time taking money from programs for the sign. There is a sign in the front of the property on Evergreen Lane. She started to put the address on the sign, but she was trying to get away from advertising because she is only looking for location. If people see names with locations they would make the connection better. Board Member Cornell asked if the address is on the sign, could the sign still be the same size. Ms. Boronkay stated that the sign would stay the same size with or without the address. • Having the address on the sign would help the school. Board Member Cornell stated that if the address was on the sign, it would make it easier for people to find the school. Ms. Boronkay stated that there are evergreen trees behind where the sign would be located. Board Member Cornell asked if there is any other signs in the area. Ms. Boronkay stated that there is an antique sign up the road, and there is a sign for the Indian Creek Farms. The Indian Creek Farms is in the process of selling the property, and that sign would be removed. Her sign would be more residential in nature as opposed to commercial. It would be in keeping with the Evergreen Subdivision. The sign would look like Audrey Eldeman's Real Estate signs, green with gold trim. Board Member Cornell stated that the sign would be more help people as they are driving by. Chairperson Wilcox asked if the Planning Board wants t, of Appeals an off - premises advertising sign. Chairperson Wilcox I n the Town of Ithaca that is off - premises advertising, which is effective with the address. It would :) recommend to the Zoning Board stated that he is aware of one sign the Coddington Restaurant at the • corner of Route 96B and Coddington Road. It is a small two foot by two foot sign six feet high. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 14 APPROVED - JUNE 311997 MAY 209 1997 • Board Member Cornell asked if there used to be a sign in this area for Poyer Orchards. Ms. Boronkay responded, yes. Ms. Boronkay stated that she understands Chairperson Wilcox's concern, but she is providing a human service that is crucial in the up coming years with the welfare reform. Right now her fees are lower than any other nursery school. She would not be excluding people affected by the welfare reform. She does not have the overhead in rent that most nursery schools have. She has the ability to keep her prices down and reasonable for people to have good quality day care. Board Member Ainslie asked what is the school's capacity. Ms. Boronkay stated that the capacity is 12, plus two school age children. She runs two programs, Monday and Friday for children that need a smaller group in a special setting, and on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday the school would be at full capacity of 12 to 14 children. Chairperson Wilcox.stated that the school does have a sprinkler system. Board Member Cornell asked if there is a problem with the Board approving an off - premises sign. In general, she would not want off - premises signs to become rampant throughout the Town of Ithaca. ®Chairperson Wilcox stated that the Building and Zoning Department has been reasonably diligent about off - premises signs. Ms. Boronkay stated that this is the survival of her business. The honest truth is that the sign works, nothing else does. Ms. Boronkay stated that she has put a sign past the Town's limits. She received phone calls when the sign was placed on the road side. This is such a transient community that it is very rare that she has an opening. This speaks to the problem of the need. If she puts the sign out, she is full in a week. Obviously, people are not getting the message any other way. Ithaca Child, is a publication for this purpose, and it does not work. Board Member Cornell asked Ms. Boronkay if she wants the sign to be permanent. Ms. Boronkay responded, yes. Board Member Cornell asked Ms. Boronkay if she wants a sign that could be taken off hinges when the school is full, and put back when there are openings. Ms. Boronkay responded, no. The design of the sign would only enhance the neighborhood area, and it might benefit the area. The landscaping would also help benefit the area. Chairperson Wilcox stated that the materials provided to the Planning Department mentions that Ms. Boronkay asked for a sign height of six feet from grade to the base of the sign. 'The ® proposed resolution states that the sign would not exceed a height of six feet from grade to the upper most point of the sign. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 15 MAY 209 1997 APPROVED - JUNE 3. 1997 Jeffrey Boronkay stated that the height in the proposed resolution would be more appropriate. The area where the sign would be located slopes uphill, and if the sign is kept at the original height in the paper work submitted it would be to high. Chairperson Wilcox stated that the higher the sign the more intrusive it becomes. Mr. Boronkay stated that they could work with the Planning Department on the height of the sign.

Chairperson Wilcox duly opened the above mentioned matter at 9:01 p.m., and read aloud from the Agenda. Terry Roswick stated that he is representing Evan Monkemeyer to discuss a proposal for parkland to be dedicated to the Town of Ithaca. There has been many discussions with Town Officials and Evan Monkemeyer. There was a memorandum supplied to the Planning Board that explains what the proposal is. What initiated this response is a prior agreement that left a 1.78 +/- acre piece of land to be conveyed to the Town for parkland from a prior subdivision. Mr. Roswick pointed out on a map entitled "Concept Sketch" prepared by Ryan Survey, where the originally intended parkland was located and where the proposed parkland would be located. Mr. Roswick stated that there has been a need by the Montessori School to expand, and Mr. Monkemeyer would like to take the originally intended parkland and sell it to the Montessori School. In exchange for that, there has been a need for a community wide Town park in this area, Mr. Monkemeyer is proposing ten percent of the allocation for a subdivision in R -30 zone. Even though he is not looking to develop this immediately, it would be a good idea to consolidate the ten percent and dedicate it to the Town right now. The Concept Sketch is more of a schematic plan. There has been a lot of discussions • by the Planning Board to seek a Master Plan Concept by trying to get residential developments in the forefront with a loop road connection from East King Road to Danby Road, and another loop road PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 17 MAY 207 1997 APPROVED - JUNE 33 1997 to College Circle Apartments. Mr. Monkemeyer plans to dedicate his land along with his sister, Lenora Monkemeyer's parcel, for a park for the Town of Ithaca. The Concept Sketch Plan is a rough configuration. Board Member Cornell asked where would people be parking for the park. Planner JoAnn Cornish stated that the park is not planned, it is more the land. The sketch plan is purely schematic. Mr. Roswick stated that there is a lot of land there. The sketch plan is purely schematic to show how athletic fields could be placed in this area with some overlapping. There would be ample room to have ball fields, soccer fields, and tennis courts in the future. When those concepts are refined, the parking would be accommodated near the facilities. Planner Cornish stated that she has gone through a series of conceptual plans with play fields and parking, and this sketch plan shows that those activities could fit into this space. Mr. Roswick stated that Mr. Monkemeyer is looking to get a recommendation from the Planning Board to approve this allocation for a final resolution by the Town Board. Chairperson Wilcox stated that the dedication and final acceptance of the parkland would be made by the Town Board. Chairperson Wilcox asked if the originally intended parkland was being used as a sledding hill. Evan Monkemeyer stated that the land has been used for sledding in the winter by neighborhood kids and the Montessori School. Chairperson Wilcox stated that this is a significant break through, since the Montessori School was before the Board for an expansion proposal and lot coverage was an issue. This would give the Montessori School a chance to acquire this land for the coverage issue. Board Member Ainslie asked if there is any vegetation on the open land. Mr. Monkemeyer stated that two- thirds of the land has been mowed. There is very small growth in the proposed park land area. Board Member Ainslie asked if the land would need to be mowed for the playing fields. Mr. Roswick responded, yes, especially the playing fields for level grading. Board Member Cornell asked Mr. Monkemeyer if his sister, Lenora, agreed with this proposal. Mr. Monkemeyer responded, yes. • Board Member Cornell asked if Lenora has any intentions of developing g her property. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 18 MAY 20, 1997 APPROVED - JUNE 3, 1997 40 Mr. Monkemeyer stated that Lenora's property is currently under contract to be sold. Director of Planning Kanter stated that there has been an agreement to get 4.9 acre piece from Lenora's to connect to the other pieces of Evan to form the whole 12.5 acre community park area. Chairperson Wilcox asked if the 4.9 acres from Lenora's parcel, and the 5.6 acres and 2 acres from Evan's parcels, would be the ten percent set aside requirements for the three parcels. Director of Planning Kanter responded, yes. Planner Cornish stated that the Town's Conservation Board Environmental Review Committee's (ERC) concerns were the proximity of the park and the loop road to the Unique Natural Area (UNA) to the east. Mr. Kanter, Ms. Tierney, and herself visited the site to look at the area of concern, and they were comfortable that there was not a potential wetland in the area. After discussions with the ERC of their assessment of the situation, they agreed that there was no longer a concern. There would be some concerns that park users would be entering the UNA. This is something that could be looked into in the future as far as design issues and lot layout. There could be some mitigation to eliminate invitation to enter the UNA. The drainage in this area was another concern, and have been discussed with the Town's Engineer. The ERC has recommended a drainage study in this area be done as the land is developed, and as subdivisions progress. The proposed park would be down slope from the UNA, and drainage into the UNA should not be a • concern. Director of Planning Kanter asked Ms. Cornish to mention some of the possible cost estimates of park facilities. Planner Cornish stated that while the staff was developing the draft Park and Open Space Plan, some preliminary cost estimates were done for community parks. The estimate for site development was approximately $300,000. A site such as this would require some additional grading and probably drainage mitigation to the athletic fields that require adequate drainage. The Town would be looking at approximately $400,000 to $500,000 for the development of a community park, which includes parking facilities, comfort station, athletic fields, and possible tennis courts or basketball courts. In the acceptance of a park there is also an acceptance of commitment to develop that park at some future point, and it would not be a small price tag to serve the community. Chairperson Wilcox stated that there is no similar facility on South Hill at this time. Planner Cornish stated that there have been requests for facilities on South Hill. It is part of the draft Park and Open Space Plan to develop a park on South Hill. Director of Planning Kanter stated that there were some concerns of road access and legal rights to obtain access to the park area, and asked what are the plans for that. PLANNING BOARD MINUTES 19 MAY 20, 1997 APPROVED - JUNE 11997 •Attorney Barney stated that the arrangements with Mr. Monkemeyer were to convey the four parcels to the Town with an easement from East King Road to the park in the northeast corner to get in and out. It is not contemplated that the Town would built a road there, but they would have the right to do so if it became necessary. The desirable arrangement would be when the subdivision is developed that each stage of the road would be constructed by the developer during the course of construction. n U U Director of Planning Kanter stated that during discussions with Mr. Monkemeyer there was an established proposal for time frames. Mr. Kanter handed out a copy of the Proposed Timeframe /Process for South Hill Park Approval to each member of the Board, which read as follows: May 20, 1997: Planning Board recommendation to Town Board to accept location /concept of South Hill Park and release Montessori "park" parcel for other purposes. June 3, 1997: Planning Board consider preliminary subdivision approval for three 2 lot subdivisions to split off proposed park parcels. (Need surveyed plats no later than Friday May 23rd.)

June 17, 1997: Planning Board consider final subdivision approval for the proposed park parcels, subject to approval of legal and technical details by Town Attorney, Town Engineer, Town Highway Superintendent. (Need final plats, deeds, other legal requirements no later than Tuesday, June 10th.) Mr. Roswick stated that he could supply the Planning Department with surveyed maps on the three individual parcels by Friday. They could do each parcel as separate proposals or as a joint proposal. Mr. Monkemeyer stated that he was in agreement with the proposed timeframe and process for the South Hill Park Approval.
