Part 3 should also explain how the lead agency determined that the impact may or will not be significant.Each potential impact should be assessed considering its setting, probability of occurring,duration,irreversibility,geographic scope and magnitude. Also consider the potential for short- term,long-term and cumulative impacts. The proposal involves replacing an existing, failing Winthrop Drive water distribution main with a new, larger main. The water main was installed circa 1960 and has experienced many failures that have lead to numerous breaks along the main. Upgrading the main with larger piping and other improvements will eliminate the failures and increase fire flows along Winthrop Drive. Regarding Part 1, Question 13a: There are no wetlands on or near the project. According to the NYS DEC Environmental Resource Database, the project is located approximately 200 feet south of an unnamed stream and approximately 600 feet north of Renwick Brook. Provided that appropriate erosion and sedimentation controls are in place during the proposed trench excavation,pipe removal,and installation of new piping and equipment,there will be no significant negative environmental impacts on either stream. The proposed action will have a positive impact on the existing water district,the capacity of which will be upgraded to handle the current and projected future water needs in the area. F] Check this box if you have determined,based on the information and analysis above,and any supporting documentation, that the proposed action may result in one or more potentially large or significant adverse impacts and an environmental impact statement is required. Check this box if you have determined,based on the information and analysis above,and any supporting documentation, that the proposed action will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts.

The city intends to sell the parcel to New Earth Living, LLC for the Amabe| housing project. As described brieflythattheFebruary�5 Town Board meeting, this property was previously part ofa26+/ acre parcel that the Town of Ithaca sold tnthe city in 1999. The city's intent for the land was to serve as substitute park land so that the designated park, known as the Southwest Park, could be alienated (as parkland) and sold for development purposes. When the land was sold tothe city,the town included the following covenant language inthe deed ofsale: 4. City Use ofLand. The Grantee agrees that unless the Grontmrotherwise agrees/nwriting Grantee will use the Property solely and only for passive park land purposes. Forthis purpose "passive park land"means uses for public trails, woodland, hiking, and similar uses which do not require significant alteration of the physical characteristics of the Property or intensive use bygroups ofpeople. There will bennoth/edcfie/ds, nostructures......" According to the city,the 3.3 acre parcel was never included as part of the substitute parkland for Southwest Park. This smaller portion of the 26+/-acre parcel is separated by the Norfolk Southern rail line which isstill active. Maps included inthe Southwest Area Land Use Study (1g93) and the Southwest Natural Area Master Plan (2000) depict the substitute park as being on the east side of the Norfolk Southern rail line and donot appear toinclude the small parcel west ofthe railroad (see maps enclosed). In order for the sale and future development of the 3.3+/-acre parcel to move forward, relief from the deed covenant isneeded from the town. |naddition, inorder for New Earth Living, LLC toclear title for the purchase of the land from the city, documentation showing authorization by the town for the 1999 land conveyance to the city is required.Town staff has researched the matter and has been unable to locate an authorizing resolution.Therefore, the enclosed resolution,for the Board's consideration, includes two actions: 1) releasing the deed restrictions from the].3+/-acre parcel and 2) providing for town approval of the disposition of the land to the City via nunc pro tunc (Latin term meaning"now for then", and used in legal situations to apply rulings/actions retroactively).

The western edge of the Southwest Natural Area is bordered by the proposed Black Diamond Trail Corridor and by the active rail line of the Norfolk. Southern.

An old railroad abutment still exists on the creek's edge where the railroad historically crossed the site. A local slaughter- house previously existed on the site; its foundation remains and will become the parking lot for the Natural Area. Old railroad abutment The goal of the park is to protect, and in some instances enhance, existing vegetation and natural. features. Today, many vegetation patterns exist on the site: vernal pools, meadows, floodplain for- ests, wetlands, a small conifer plantation, hedgerows. Sensitive features in the Southwest Natural Area include: Negundo Woods (a floodplain portion of the Natural Area), the Cayuga inlet (whose course on this site is the only stretch of unchannelized creek within city boundaries), rare plants, and a variety of fauna (bird watching is particularly popular). Park plans include a network of multi-use, pedestrian and bicycle trails that will traverse a variety of plant communities. Plans also include water access in three locations, picnic areas, access to a favored fishing area, and a dogs-off- leash program. 65 Southwest Natural Area Master Plan ,rf, Pede%trianilIDr� Access Via 13i., `F h6i idle Diamond T'arall r � �.� Vehicular and la'eextrian ar Acces&Via Inlet laand � J''a� .a : u�e CombinedRad " .
