Call to order and Pledge of Allegiance Mr. Goodman called the meeting to order at 5:33 p.m. 2. Persons to be heard and Board Comments Caroline Arms, President of the Forest Home Improvement Association, read a prepared statement (Attachment 1) regarding the Forest Home Walkway study and the lack of resident involvement, input and meetings which were promised. Doug Brittain, also talked about the walkway and thought the Board could have fixed the walkway with the money already spent on the study. Mr. D Brittain also agreed that the crosswalk should be maintained also. He was upset that there was no public input which has been promised and doesn't appear to be in the proposed contract. He thought an onsite visit to the site with the input would be best. Bruce Brittain spoke about the walkway and agreed with the others. He also thought there should be input early in the design process not what is in the contract which states there will be one meeting with adjoining property owners and nothing indicated for the community at large. Mr. B Brittain also said there is a rumor that Forest Home residents are going to end up paying for that and it is unconscionable to have us pay for a project that we have no input on. Mr. B Brittain also spoke to the agenda item regarding noise and said the proposed legislation addresses distinct, temporary noises and that is fine, but the biggest problem is the rising baseline of noise. Forest Home is surrounded by Cornell campus and each new campus projects increases the noise level just a little bit, but then the next project another little bit and the next another little bit. Right now, the dominant sound in Forest Home is Cornell campus and it is going to keep getting worse. He said he didn't know how to address that, but he wanted to mention that. Mia Slotnick, Renwick Heights read a prepared statement regarding the recent interactive meeting between stakeholders and the Short Term Rental Committee. (Attachment 2) TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 1 Inez Vermaas, Chair, Bed & Breakfast and Vacation Rentals of Greater Ithaca (Attachment 3) Ms. Vermaas spoke about the decline in B&B's and the uneven playing field between legal B&B's and Air BB which has lowered their occupancy rates significantly because they can undercut us. She was in favor of having STR's only be hosted and under the same regulations, insurance and taxes as they do. She also thought the proposed violation fines should be much higher so they are not considered a "cost of doing business" and there should be a revocation of the permit for three offenses. Mike MacAnannay Mr. Macammy talked about the joint meeting also and said there were items that some people in his group hadn't thought about and one thing that was surprising to many was the number of nights that some of the operators do sell their houses for the night; 200+. He said it did show that one size does not fit all for all places in the town as shown by a person who has no neighbors even close which in cases like that, no one cares but in his neighborhood, Renwick Heights, this is a real problem. He is in favor of a reasonable number of nights and permits with a restricted number of permits in any one area as well as a variance process where individual owners could apply for additional nights for their particular circumstances where there are no neighbors or the like. Anne Rose, Resident Ms. Rose wanted to encourage the town to follow the City and consider adopting a Green Deal for the town. She thought if the town and the city both adopted it it would have a huge affect across the county and there are a number of people ready to help and spread the word and support you in this effort. Board comments Mr. DePaolo thanked people for coming out and speaking and he had comments about what was said at the combined STR Committee meeting. Mr. DePaolo said he did a little research on the 14 day IRS rule and it is not a delineation between a business classification and nonbusiness classification; it is simply a reporting requirement. The IRS allows you to derive income from 14 days of rental use without either reporting or deducting expenses for that use; after that you report and deduct. It is a business the entire time, there is just an exemption for the first 14 days. He said the other thing is there has been this contention that rental use of residential property is somehow not a "a residential use" and his understanding is that it is a "residential use" and we can't say that people who own properties are fulfilling the objective of the Medium Density Residential zone whereas people who rent property in that zone are not. He asked Ms. Brock to provide any clarification. TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 2 Ms. Brock responded that the court cases have said is that you look at the zoning to see what is allowed and what is not allowed and where, for example, a single family home is allowed, the fact that it may be rented out does not turn it into something other than a single family home. It could be rented out for a year, six months, three months, daily is what the courts say, if the zoning doesn't have rental restrictions or define single family how in a different way. Mr. DePaolo responded saying so short of a delineation in our Code, the Code as it currently exists, does not draw a distinction between rental uses and owner -occupied residences. Ms. Brock said we do have some rental requirements, but in terms of the short-term rental issue, these would be single-family homes and the courts would say that; they are not going to say these are not single-family homes just because they are rented daily. 3. 5:30 p.m. Public hearing regarding a proposed a local law amending the yard and principal building requirements for publicly owned properties and private institutions in Chapter 270, Zoning, of the Town of Ithaca Code. (Attachment 4) Mr. Goodman opened the public hearing at 6p.m; there was no one wishing to address the board and the hearing was closed. There were no questions regarding SEQR or the proposed legislation. TB Resolution 2019 - 066: SEAR: Proposed Local Law Amending the Yard and Principal Building Requirements for Publicly -Owned Properties and Private Institutions in Chapter 270, Zoning, of the Town of Ithaca Code Whereas, this action is the enactment of a local law amending the Town of Ithaca Code, Chapter 270 entitled "Zoning", to amend the yard and principal building requirements for publicly -owned properties and private institutions in the Low Density, Medium Density and High Density Residential Zones; and Whereas, this is an Unlisted Action for which the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca is the Lead Agency in an environmental review with respect to the enactment of this local law; and Whereas, the Town Board, at its regular meeting held on May 13, 2019, has reviewed and accepted as adequate the Short Environmental Assessment Form (FEAF), Parts 1, 2 and 3, for this action, prepared by the Town Planning staff, now, therefore, be it Resolved, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby makes a negative determination of environmental significance in accordance with Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law, 6 NYCRR Part 617 New York State Environmental Quality Review, and Chapter 148 Environmental Quality Review of the Town of Ithaca Code for the above -referenced action as proposed, based on the information in the EAF Part 1 and for the reasons set forth in the EAF Parts 2 and 3, and, therefore, a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be required. Moved: Rich DePaolo Seconded: Tee -Ann Hunter TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 3 Vote: ayes — DePaolo, Hunter, Goodman, Leary, Bleiwas and Levine TB Resolution 2019 - 067: Adoption of Local Law Amending the Yard and Principal Building Requirements for Publicly -Owned Properties and Private Institutions in Chapter 270, Zoning, of the Town of Ithaca Code (Attachment 4b) Whereas, the existing Town Code provisions in the Low, Medium, and High Density Residential Zones require certain front, side and rear yard setbacks from boundaries with adjacent properties for publicly -owned properties and properties of universities, colleges, cemeteries, and other private institutions located in those Residential Zones, where the publicly -owned or institutional property comprises at least six acres in area and is traversed by interior roads or driveways; and Whereas, the Town Code prohibits more than one principal building on a lot in residential zones; and Whereas, there are publicly -owned properties and private and public educational institutions with large tracts of land located in the Low, Medium and High Density Zones, including Cornell University and Ithaca College, for which (1) the yard setbacks serve no useful purpose along boundaries with adjacent properties where lot ownership is identical, and (2) the prohibition on more than one principal building on a lot serves no useful purpose, given the campus or other institutional setting; and Whereas, the Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan envisions revising the Town Code to include the creation of an Institutional Zone to more appropriately accommodate the unique characteristics of public and private institutions; and in the meantime, the Town of Ithaca Codes and Ordinances Committee has recommended the proposed local law revisions; and Whereas, at its meeting on April 22, 2019, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca discussed the proposed local law and a public hearing was scheduled for May 13, 2019 at 5:30 p.m. to hear all interested parties on the proposed local law entitled "A Local Law Amending the Yard and Principal Building Requirements for Publicly -Owned Properties and Private Institutions in Chapter 270, Zoning, of the Town of Ithaca Code"; and Whereas, notice of said public hearing was duly advertised in the Ithaca Journal; and Whereas, said public hearing was duly held on said date and time at the Town Hall of the Town of Ithaca and all parties in attendance were permitted an opportunity to speak on behalf of or in opposition to said proposed local law, or any part thereof, and Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, adoption of said local law is an Unlisted Action for which the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca, the lead agency in an environmental review with respect to adoption of this local law, has, on May 13, 2019, made a negative determination of environmental significance, after having reviewed and accepted as adequate the Short Environmental Assessment Form Parts 1, 2 and 3; and TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 4 Whereas, the Town Board finds that the amendments proposed for the Low, Medium, and High Density Residential Zones, further the health and welfare of the community and are in accordance with the Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan; now, therefore, be it Resolved, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby adopts Local Law No. 3 of 2019 entitled "A Local Law Amending the Yard and Principal Building Requirements for Publicly -Owned Properties and Private Institutions in Chapter 270, Zoning, of the Town of Ithaca Code"; and it is further Resolved, that the Town Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file said local law with the Secretary of State as required by law. Moved: Rich DePaolo Seconded: Eric Levine Vote: ayes — DePaolo, Levine, Leary, Goodman, Hunter and Bleiwas 4. 5:30 p.m. Public hearing regarding the proposed purchase of real property on Culver Rd for a preserve using Parks, Recreation and Open Space Funds (Attachment 5) Mr. Goodman opened the public hearing at 6:03 p.m.; there was no one wishing to address the board and the hearing was closed. Mr. Goodman stated that the actual price was stated in Mr. Smith's memo which is under the $90K and is the price the Finger Lakes Land Trust paid for the parcel. TB Resolution 2019 - 068: SEAR: Acquisition of Finger Lakes Land Trust property on Culver Road (Tax Parcel No. 31.4-14.4) Whereas, this action is the acquisition of a 35.64 +/- acre property owned by the Finger Lakes Land Trust, located on Culver Road (Tax Parcel No. 31.-1-14.4) in the Town of Ithaca; and Whereas, the Town has entered into an agreement with the Finger Lakes Land Trust to purchase the above -referenced property, which immediately adjoins the Coy Glen Critical Environmental Area and is located across the road from the previously purchased Dress Woods Preserve, Gerda Knegtman's Glen Preserve and Marcia's Woods Preserve; and Whereas, the property will be acquired in order to add to the town's existing preserves in the Culver Road area and to provide residents with additional opportunities for passive enjoyment of the forested habitats; and Whereas, the Town has been awarded funding from the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation's Environmental Protection Fund grant program to assist in purchasing this property (75% State funds); and Whereas, it has been determined that the above -described action is an Unlisted Action, pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, 6 NYCRR Part 617, and Town of Ithaca Code, TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 5 Chapter 148 — Environmental Quality Review, for which the Town of Ithaca Town Board is acting as Lead Agency in an environmental review with respect to the property acquisition; and Whereas, the Town Board, on May 13, 2019, has reviewed and accepted as adequate the Short Environmental Assessment Form, Parts 1, 2 and 3 prepared by Town staff for this action; now therefore be it Resolved, that the Ithaca Town Board hereby makes a negative determination of environmental significance based on the information in the Short EAF Part 1 and for the reasons set forth in the Short EAF Parts 2 and 3 in accordance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act and Chapter 148 of the Town of Ithaca Code for the above referenced action as proposed and, therefore, neither a Full Environmental Assessment Form, nor an Environmental Impact Statement will be required. Moved: Eric Levine Seconded: Pamela Bleiwas Vote: ayes — Levine, Bleiwas, Goodman, Leary, Hunter and DePaolo TB Resolution 2019 - 069: Authorization for the Acquisition of a 35.64 +/- Acre Property on Culver Road from Finger Lakes Land Trust for the Preservation of Open Space, and for Completion of the Transaction Whereas, the Town Board has determined that certain property owned by the Finger Lakes Land Trust on Culver Road (Tax Parcel No. 31.-1-14.4) has ecological value deserving of protection from development and inclusion as a town preserve; and Whereas, this parcel immediately adjoins the Coy Glen Critical Environmental Area and will be located across the road from previously purchased Dress Woods Preserve, Gerda Knegtman's Glen Preserve and Marcia's Woods Preserve; and Whereas, the property Appraisal Report, dated September 12, 2017, prepared by Kenneth V. Gardner II of the North East Appraisals & Management Co., Inc., for the Finger Lakes Land Trust, lists a fair market value of $112,000 for the portion of the property to be acquired by the town; and Whereas, the Finger Lakes Land Trust has agreed to sell the 35.64 +/- acres to the Town of Ithaca, for a total purchase price not to exceed $90,000, which is less than the appraised fair market value; and Whereas, the Town has been awarded funding from the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation's Environmental Protection Fund grant program to assist in purchasing this property (75% State funds); and Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, the acquisition of this parcel is an Unlisted Action for which the Town of Ithaca Town Board, acting as lead agency in an environmental review with respect to the property acquisition, has, on May 13, 2019, made a negative TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 6 environmental determination of significance, after having reviewed and accepted as adequate a Short Environmental Assessment Form Parts 1, 2 and 3; now, therefore, be it Resolved, that the Town acquire said parcel as soon as practicable and at a cost not to exceed $90,000 for same after receiving a proper deed fully executed and evidence satisfactory to the attorney for the Town on this matter that the title to such property is marketable, with said funds to be made available from the Open Space Plan Account, which has sufficient funds to cover the costs of this acquisition, and be it further Resolved, that the Town Supervisor be, and hereby is, authorized and requested to take such steps (including the expenditure of Town funds for the purchase, survey, recording fees, filing fees, and other customary real estate fees and expenses), and to execute such documents, as deemed necessary to effectuate such purchase and the purposes of the forgoing resolutions, and be it further Resolved, that such lands be acquired for, and held as, passive recreation, education and ecological forest lands for the benefit of the residents of the Town of Ithaca. Moved: Rich DePaolo Seconded: Tee -Ann Hunter Vote: ayes — DePaolo, Hunter, Levine, Goodman, Leary and Bleiwas Mr. Goodman moved Item 11 up on the agenda. Discuss and consider the Forest Home Walkway project and authorization for the Supervisor to sign associated contracts/agreement Mr. Goodman looked to the letter from Barton and Loudice and addressed the questions from the persons to be heard. The RFP that was put out did mention that in addition to the meeting with the consultants, we would be having meetings with the community with staff, we will have staff from Public Works, Town Board members to get input from the larger community. We wouldn't be paying our consultants to be there, but we would have our staff get the input to discuss with the consultants. The public is always invited to the Public Works Committee meetings, but in terms of having a meeting at night when it would be more likely to get members of the community to attend we wouldn't have the consultant there. Ms. Hunter asked about the meetings and asked if she was understanding correctly that there will be three meetings with town staff and a meeting with town staff and adjacent property owners and she asked if that meeting would happen before the final design and not be a public meeting but specifically for the adjacent owners. Mr. Goodman asked Mr. Weber to respond. TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 7 Mr. Weber said what we had talked about with the consultant were the first meeting would be town staff with the consultant to discuss what we would like to see, what our options our, what we know about the site and get a few ideas and advice and the second meeting would be with the consultant, staff and adjacent property owners because those will be the most affected and the third would be another meeting with staff to get the options clarified before bringing them to the Public Works Committee were we would have the opportunity to make changes again and then it would be brought to the Town Board where it would be a public meeting one more time. He said this was the solution that was discussed with staff and Mr. Goodman to be able to meet some of the concerns of the neighborhood and keep the price down. Ms. Hunter asked if following the meeting with the adjacent owners, would their comments and recommendations be conveyed to the members of the PWC (yes) and that meeting would allow public attendance (yes) and then it would come to the Town Board with those comments from the public incorporated into the final plan and that final plan to the Town Board? Mr. Weber responded yes, then the Town Board would determine what option is the desired solution. Mr. DePaolo said his understanding is that the residents are concerned that they be given enough access to the process early enough to effect the actual outcome and not just as an addendum to a process where the Town Board is essentially looking at something that is more or less carved in stone so even though it may not be within the scope of our agreement with Barton & Loudice, he wondered if there is any opportunity for an informal walk through of the project site with residents or something where some colloquial information that could be imparted to staff that can then be incorporated into these more formal meetings. Mr. Goodman said he thinks we should come up with a schedule at the next Public Works Committee meeting and figure out when to do these meetings without the consultants within the overall schedule. He said we want to make sure we get to the second meeting with the consultants and the adjacent property owners by the end of June when one of them is out of the country and then we can fit in the evening meeting we would have with the full community where we can get input from them and if we want to do a field trip out there, get that on the schedule as well, based upon what the consultants calendar looks like. He said those should happen before the third meeting between the consultants and staff so any comments can be worked into that before they bring it to the Public Works Committee to finalize which three options the Public Works Committee wants them to pursue so by the time the three options come to the full Board it is towards the end of the process. Ms. Leary said she thought a meeting with the larger community early on is important and not just with our staff, but with the consultant. It would be good for the consultant to hear from the community directly rather than filtered through our staff. She thought it was just as important as hearing from the adjacent property owners at that stage. Mr. Goodman thought that would require an additional meeting and more money. TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 8 Ms. Leary thought it might be worth it or to combine it with the meeting with the adjacent property owners' meeting or have one fewer meeting with staff. She said she really thought that by the time the process is that far along, it is almost like a done deal and the community input needs to happen earlier. Mr. Levine wondered if someone would address Doug Brittain's concern that it is not a necessary expenditure of funds, $26K, for work which he is characterizing as basic and straight forward for a design. Mr. Weber responded that we have approached this particular project as trying to be as transparent as possible about this. The Town has thrown money at this over time, before he got here and also since, but there really hasn't been any plan; there have been a lot of opinions as to what needs to be done, what should be done and there are a lot of questions on what the Town truly should do on this. Is it really part of our transportation system, our walkways....? It is a very difficult area so you are butting up against any number of recommendations for designs so we thought the best thing to do is if the Town is willing to spend some money fixing a facility, lets make a determination on what it is we are actually going to be building and what we are going to be fixing and come up with an idea on long term maintenance of this facility. There are five properties up there that do abut it and the trail as it exists now has not stayed within the town ROW or owned property, it runs out onto other properties where we don't necessarily have easements for and we were trying to get some type of design or options so we can move forward to a design that is sustainably and maintainable that is within reasonable costs. Mr. Goodman turned to Ms. Leary's suggestion about adding an additional meeting and find out the cost of that and asked the Board if they are interested in that. Mr. DePaolo said although he is not uninterested in that, he thinks that in looking at the three proposed meetings, if he had to punt on one and replace it with another, it would be the Town Board meeting because by then it is pretty much a formality and we will have already had the benefit of all the information through the entire process up to that point with representatives from Public Works, the Public Works Committee and any issues that do come up at that point in time could be relayed to the contractor in time to effect a plausible outcome and they don't need to come and roll it out in front of the Town Board at the end; that money would be better spent earlier in the process. Ms. Hunter wanted to make sure it would be on site and Mr. Goodman responded it would be and it is still daylight at 6pm so that should work. He said we can check in with the consultant and see if that is feasible and wouldn't increase the price. The Board was in favor of that swapping out the night meeting with the Town Board to an in - person meeting with the community at large. Some discussion followed on the type of staff from the consultant that would be at that meeting and if there would be additional cost(s) for it and in the end it was decided to talk to them and TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 9 leave the draft resolution as is in the interest of moving forward given there is no May study session to approve the contract. TB Resolution 2019-070: Authorization to award contract for a study of potential Forest Home Walkway improvements Whereas, within the approved 2019 Town Budget monies were included for a study of options for the Forest Home Walkway Improvements, and Whereas, on February 28, 2019 the Town of Ithaca Director of Public Works/Highway Superintendent received three proposals for the Forest Home Walkway Improvements study, and Whereas, Town Staff have reviewed the proposals and qualifications of the firms, presented recommendations to the Public Works Committee, conducted interviews and recommended that the low proposal of $25,900.00 for the study made by the firm of Barton and Loguidice is a qualified proposal, now therefore be it Resolve, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca authorizes the Town Supervisor to sign a contract with Barton and Loguidice, Liverpool New York, for the study of potential Forest Home Walkway Improvements subject to final approval of the contract documents by the Town Engineer and Attorney for the Town. Moved: Tee -Ann Hunter Seconded: Pamela Bleiwas Vote: ayes — Hunter, Bleiwas, Goodman, Levine, Leary and DePaolo 5. Discuss proposed changes to Town of Ithaca Code Chapter 184 Noise and consider setting a public hearing Mr. DePaolo had a question on Section 184-7 and the first reference to unreasonable noise where it says "25' feet or more from the source of the sound" and he wondered why that is a metric if 25 feet from the source of the sound is still on the subject property; why is that still a problem? He said he thought what we are trying to prevent is unreasonable noise at property boundaries or at other dwellings on the subject property so if you have a multiple residence, for example, and one of your residents is creating noise and another one objects; what does this mean? Why is 25' feet or more important if you have 10 acres of land and you are making noise in the center, why is it unreasonable if it is audible at 25' feet? Ms. Brock said she didn't think the committee looked at the 25' feet specifically but we were trying to think of all situations where the 25' feet might be on the same property or off the property and adversely impacting people who are not making the noise as in the example given. She thought it was in there for that reason, whether the noise is being made on the property because if someone is making noise on their own property and there is no one to hear it and be bothered by it, it wouldn't be unreasonable. The question is is anyone being bothered by it, if they are it may be unreasonable noise, if there is no one then it isn't unreasonable. TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 10 Ms. Brock thought it was important to not say the noise must come from off the property because you are going to have people impacted, such as tenants in a building, even if noise is being made on the property, who should have the same rights as people who own their own properties. Mr. DePaolo said his question is, if we have a nuisance threshold to determine what is unreasonable, we have some criteria, but we essentially have a nuisance threshold, why have any distance metric at all? If someone is being bothered, that is really the issue and her you could say, but wait a minute, my noise is unreasonable, but it is not unreasonable beyond 25 feet so you would have a 50' foot radius within which you can make noise. Mr. DePaolo said it really isn't the most important enforcement metric; the metric is somebody calls and somebody goes out and makes a judgement call about whether the noise is unreasonable right? Ms. Brock said we didn't really discuss the 25' feet and Mr. DePaolo said he wouldn't force the issue since it seems it hasn't been an issue in the past. Some discussion followed regarding our plan for more mixed uses in the Form Based Zoning and shared space and it will come down to an interpretation of "unreasonable" rather than the distance. Mr. DePaolo turned to 184-9 paragraph 3 — where the "person" listed seems to be covered in numbers 1 & 2. Ms. Brock said number 1 is for the property owner, such as the town with Tutelo Park where 2 & 3 are for the people in charge of the event such as the person who rented Tutelo Park. Mr. DePaolo was satisfied with that explanation. Mr. DePaolo looked at the next line where "person" seemed unclear also and Ms. Brock said she will look at it. This is a carryover from the City's law and the Committee didn't look at it. TB Resolution 2019 — 071: Setting a Public Hearing rmardin2 changes to the Town of Ithaca Code, Chapter 184, "Noise" Whereas the Codes and Ordinances Committee has reviewed and recommended changes to the Town of Ithaca Code Chapter 184 "Noise" and those changes have been discussed and reviewed by the Town Board, now, therefore be it Resolved that the Town Board will hold a public hearing on the proposed changes to the Town of Ithaca Code, Chapter 184, "Noise" on June 10, 2019 at 5:30 during there regular meeting. At such time any person wishing to address the Board on the proposed changes will be heard. Moved: Bill Goodman Seconded: Pat Leary Vote: ayes — Goodman, Leary, Levine, DePaolo, Bleiwas and Hunter TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 11 6. Discuss the Public Works Facility Expansion Project Mr. Goodman started the topic by saying the low bid was $1.4M which was way over the budget and the first thing we thought was the contractors already had their work scheduled out and weren't looking to price their bids in order to get the work but he didn't think it was worth that price for a 1,400 sqft addition and HVAC renovations. Mr. Goodman said the options are to try and rebid later in the year as the contractors are looking to 2020 schedules, but he wanted to get comments from staff and members. Mr. Goodman said we would have to readjust our Capital Improvement Plan but something to think about is what if it still comes in high. Mr. Goodman said we wanted to do this because they are very cramped down there and we are currently talking about adding another person next year and they are on top of each other now. Ms. Leary said she would like to look at ways to economize because she isn't confident in rebidding and we can't count on them coming in with a lower price. Mr. Goodman responded saying we would still be pushing it off since we would have to change the design and redo the drawings and rebid it. Mr. Levine asked if the really expensive price is because we are changing an existing building and what about adding a building? You can build an 1,100 square foot house for $250K so these numbers just don't make sense. Mr. Goodman responded that for him, this is bringing up future space needs which he had been thinking of as strategic planning for 10-15 years down the road but this is making him think that rather than spending this kind of money on an addition, it would maybe be better to spend it on a new building and that is a much bigger decision. Mr. Levine said he was thinking a building to house some of the staff not all of the staff but maybe that makes sense too. Mr. Weber added that the building industry is very busy right now and finding staff has been an issue as well as materials. We could advertise in the Fall where contractors are starting to look at next year. Discussion on the costs to rebid were discussed and those are minimal, so that isn't an issue. The question is whether it would do any good. Mr. Goodman added that there were contractors who went to the pre -bid but didn't bid. TB 2019-05-13 Pg. 12 Discussion followed on the time frame of the bid posting and opening and the number of contractors that picked up materials, plus the clearing houses and how long contractors had to prepare a bid. Mr. DePaolo asked how our Consultants at HOLT estimates were so far off? What are we paying them for? They provided some justification for why the bids were so high, but for a firm that prides itself on being aware of market conditions and all these forces, it is unfortunate that the estimates were about half of what came in. Ms. Bleiwas said if we are going to re-evaluate, are we going to look at what we might need to add or different financing because what she has been hearing is we really need to do this and the sticker shock shouldn't get in the way of our ability to function. If we can make some changes on both ends, in terms of budget and design, maybe we can meet somewhere in the middle. Mr. Goodman said he thought the committees should talk some more; Public Works, Budget and Space and Facilities and try and figure out what kind of plan we can come up with. He said he assumes no one wants to move forward and award this so we can take a couple of committee meetings and look at this. The board agreed. 7. Discuss and consider Bond Resolution for Winston-Salem Watermain Replacement Project Mr. Goodman reported that this also came in over bid by $50K and there was only one bidder so we need to decide whether we go forward with this and if so, what process do we do to manage the extra cost. Mr. Weber said the bidders numbers were in line with there other bids on the two previous projects which they didn't get as low bidder. Town staff has a lot on their plate and Bundy Rd is still out to bid. He said this project is the last watermain section that has a high number of breaks within the system so our process of eliminating most of our problems is almost done and by delaying it to next year doesn't really hurt us all that much. Discussion followed on the process of increasing the maximum price of the Public Interest Order. The Board decided to hold off and discuss this at the Public Works Committee as it has implications to our Capital Improvement Plan. 8.

I live at 200 Forest Home Drive and am President of the Forest Home Improvement Association (FHIA). This is in relation to item #11 on the agenda, the Forest Home Walkway Improvement Project. In addition to my FHIA role, my husband and I own property adjacent to the Walkway. At the February board meeting, I urged that there be engagement as soon as possible to identify significant issues that should be taken into account in any design, with two groups of stakeholders: adjoining property owners; and regular users of the Walkway. it is clear from the letter from B&L, thal a meeting involving the adjacent property owners is part of the project. I was disappointed to see no mention of a meeting to allow Walkway users to provide input at the beginning of the project. I do recognize that contractor expenses for such meetings are non -trivial. However, by the end of this evening I hope to have guidance from the Town Board as to how individual users can most effectively provide input at the beginning of the design project. I should point out that not all Walkway users are Forest Home residents. People from further away commute to campus this way. Of course, anyone can attend a discussion of the design alternatives if that is held at a public Town Board meeting. On FHIA's behalf, I urge that a discussion of alternatives be held in public. One safety issue that is repeatedly brought up at FHIA meetings relates to the road intersection at the bottom of the Walkway. FHIA urges the Town to consider whether simple changes that would improve safety for Walkway users might be made in association with the improvement project. A useful starting point for any discussions on this would be a drawing made as part of the Forest Home Traffic Calming Project, which recommends moving the STOP signs to align with the associated lines painted on the road. Without such alignment, the police cannot enforce appropriate driver behavior. I have copies of the drawing here. Recently, several residents have complained, with good reason, that the pedestrian crossing has been essentially invisible for several months. I promised that I would bring this problem up at the earliest opportunity. a''t of Forest I-Ionu-,,,, 1"r(affic CaIrrilng Plwi showirig Section rw,, pc, 4-itersection Of Pk,, san (3rove Road and Far°est Floi,��,ie Drive Below is a photograph of part of a map that was prepared as part of the Forest Home Traffic Calming Plan and considered part of the Final Report, dated June 29, 2007.

I For more information on the Forest Home Traffic Calming Project, see fur tp��- Jiva.0 ,/ ic ttac,l rneil Mia Slotnick, May 13th, 2019, Ithaca Town Board meeting The April 3rd STR committee meeting was a discussion between the STR committee and 4 people who are in favor or who are active hosts for STRs in the Town, and 4 Town residents with concerns and negative experiences with STRs in their neighborhoods. Some points that emerged from that meeting: 1. The 3 hosts at the table reported that they were renting their properties for 145 nights per year, 200 nights per year, and 220 nights per year. There was surprise at the high occupancy rates of these STRs , which surpass occupancy rates for many of the registered B&Bs in the area. Clearly, these hosts are not renting their homes to supplement their incomes. These are unregulated businesses, operating with an unfair competitive advantage over registered B&Bs, and therefore should be subject to the same state and local requirements as registered B&Bs. There was a suggestion that those STR hosts who wish to continue renting their properties for a large number of days should apply for a special permit for a B&B, and should be subject to the procedures governing B&Bs in the existing Town Code. 2. Cayuga Heights has limited the number of days allowed for STRs to 14 days of unhosted and 28 days of hosted. The 14 days align with IRS rules. Anything over 14 days is considered a business by the IRS and is subject to reporting and taxation. Therefore, 14 days seems a logical limit for STRs. 3. Some hosts are renting multiple properties as STRs, and have converted their long term rentals to more lucrative STRs. This practice leads to a decrease in the availability of long term rentals and homes available for purchase, making housing unaffordable or unavailable in the area. Limiting the number of days for both hosted and unhosted rentals, and requiring that the property that is rented is the primary residence will discourage this practice. 4. A One Size Fits All policy does not work for all areas of the Town for STR legislation. Some neighborhoods are not conducive to STRs due to topography, parking limitations, and density of homes. Some of these neighborhoods have already experienced problems with STRs. For these areas a zoning overlay could be considered. 5. The negative impact on neighborhoods from STRs are many, but are not limited to noise, parties, and parking. They significantly change the character of a neighborhood, and cause a loss of a sense of community. 6. The Town's Comprehensive Plan clearly describes the purpose of Medium Density Residential zones as almost exclusively residential. The Town Code (Section 270-65) states the following: The purpose of the Medium Density Residential Zone is to create areas that are almost exclusively residential in nature where there is minimal intrusion of commercial, farming, or other activities that could be detrimental to residential development and occupancy. STRs are basically mini -hotels —businesses operating in an area that were never intended to allow businesses. This in direct conflict with what the Town Code, the Comprehensive Plan, and our forefathers had intended. ttacJliu,r)ei To: The Ithaca Town Board From: Inez Vermaas, Chairperson of the BBVRGI, (the Bed&Breakfast and Vacation Rentals of Greater Ithaca) BBVRGI membership has dwindled in the past 10 years from 40-50 members to 7 and the occupancy rate is poor, appr. a 30% average per year. Our B&B's are "honest" lodgings: • They are registered with state and county and pay 8% sales tax and 3% occupancy tax. • They comply with all the local codes and regulations. • They carry sufficient liability insurance. • They serve wholesome breakfasts. • They are owner occupied. Our vacation rentals: We expect the same standards with exception of the last two: They don't provide breakfast and they are not owner occupied. Because we have these overheads, members of AirBnB and other such companies are able to undercut us; hence our dwindling numbers....... So we believe that ALL accommodation that is sold to third parties should be registered and regulated! Comments to draft of "Operating Permits for certain Unhosted Short Term Rental Units" • Admirable draft! • Would only allow Short Term Rental Units in residential areas such as Ithaca. • Allow Unhosted Short Term Rental Units in rural areas only. This will curb the dangerous scenario of people from all over buying properties for short term rental purposes with the result that whole neighborhoods end up with a lot of strangers, cars, traffic, rowdy parties and other doubtful activities. o Double the fees and fines as stated in the document. An AirBnB with a 200 night/Year occupancy rate will not be intimidated by these figures. s Addition: A third violation will result in permanent revocation of the Operating Permit Conclusion: What is the Town Board going to do about the unregulated short term rental situation. What are you going to do to "level the playing field"?

The Code currently requires certain front, side and rear yard setbacks for all parcels located in the LDR, MDR and HDR Zones. The proposed local law will modify the requirements in the case of publicly -owned properties and private and public institutional properties that comprise of at least six acres in area and are traversed by interior roads. In those cases, the setbacks will only apply to the exterior public street frontages and along boundaries of adjacent properties where lot ownership is not identical. The Code also prohibits more than one principal building on a lot in residential zones.
