He offered to speak to the Conservation Board to give a perspective of what the Town Planning Board does. The Planning Board takes the advice seriously from the Conservation Board on projects it reviews. Mr. Bell wants to give a background of what the Planning Board does, and what the Conservation Board could do to be more effective. The Conservation Board was in agreement to have Mr. Bell attend a meeting. Mr. Bell will give a brief overview of what the Planning Board does, and how the Conservation Board could be more effective with reviews. Chair Zarriello received "The Environmental Notice Bulletin," which is published weekly. In region seven, which is the Town of Ithaca's region, that there are several permits for Stream Protection Clean Water Act. The gravel bars can be removed to install rip -rap, which seems to have a negative impact on stream protection and clean water. After floods, the State has permitted people to enter streams to clean out gravel bars. This is starting to raise some concerns. This could be a very expensive process to do. Cleaning these areas could disturb the habitat. The Conservation Board would need to discuss buffer issues at some point. There are no activities like this in the Town. Chair Zarriello stated that he spoke to the Planning Committee, and they have provisionally agreed to have a designee from the Conservation Board to be part of the Planning Committee. The Planning Committee is for strategic planning of development issues to help people through the process. If a Conservation Board member is interested in volunteering for the Planning Committee, please contact Chair Zarriello for more information. Chair Zarriello stated that a former member of the Conservation Board, Cheryl Smith, sent a letter on DEC Camper Programs. She was looking for a sponsorship. It could be a monetary sponsorship. This is a Conservation Workshop Camp to expose children to Conservation issues and the wilderness of the outdoors. The cost is approximately $150 to $200. Part of the sponsorship is a non -monetary part where the child is sponsored by a group and needs to report back to the group. This is set up for low income families to help sponsor children that would not be able to go to camp on their own. The Board will discuss this matter further at a later date. COORDINATOR AND CHAIR REPORTS: Geri Tierney briefly listed the items distributed in the member's folders for this meeting. First, there is an updated draft resolution from Jon Meigs. In regards to the review logs requested last week, there is a list of all the projects currently scheduled for review before the Planning Board. There is a memo from Planner Cornish in regards to park regulations, particularly related to dogs. There is a publication from Westchester County from the Director of Planning, Jonathan Kanter. It is an advisory piece that Westchester County wrote up describing how Conservation TOWN OF ITHACA CONSERVATION BOARD FINAL MINUTES 3/6/97 Boards should function, what they should do, and some common problems the Board might run into. This publication gives advice, and Planner Cornish recommended that the Board review it. The new members also received background information of the Conservation Board. There is a copy of the Town's Environmental Review Law that the Town has implemented for SEQR. There is a copy of the background legislation designating the Conservation Board and the bylaws. There is a copy of the Town's Wetland Guidelines that was written by this Board. There is a copy of the Town's Comprehensive Plan. The Coy Glen Biological report can be supplied to anyone wanting a copy. COMMITTEE REPORTS: There are no official committees set up at this point, so there are no reports. PROPOSED COMMUNITY PARK ON SOUTH HILL: Planner JoAnn Cornish stated that she would talk about the Community Park that is being recommended for the Monkemeyer land on South Hill. The concern for this park is that it is very close to the South Hill Swamp. Given the charge to design this park, she took some of the concerns that Planner Tierney had expressed to her and common sense for planning this. She presented a brief history of this plan on how the Town is going to acquire land from Evan Monkemeyer. Mr. Monkemeyer came before the Planning Board with a sketch plan. Planner Cornish pointed out on the survey map done by Nancy Ostman and Bob Wesley of the South Hill Swamp, where the proposed park would be located. The Monkemeyer family owns a lot of land on the South Hill, which Mr. Monkemeyer would have most of the control of. Mr. Monkemeyer came before the Planning Board with a sketch plan for a subdivision. Phase I was for lots 1 through 8. This was a conventional 30,000 square foot lot subdivision. Phase II would be another subdivision to total 22 lots in this area. There is a piece land that was dedicated as park land that Mr. Monkemeyer wants to sell to the Montessori School. The Planning Board agreed that it would be a good idea because it is adjacent to the Montessori School property. It makes sense for Mr. Monkemeyer to sell that piece of land to the Montessori School for them to use. In return, the Planning Board wants an even exchange of land in addition to the 10 percent set-aside that the Town requires for subdivisions. There is a definite need for some type of park in this area. It was explained to Mr. Monkemeyer that he could sell these lots with a 100 -foot buffer to the South Hill Swamp that people cannot build upon. Planner Cornish stated that the Town would require a 4.5 acre park from Mr. Monkemeyer if he was to develop these lots. The park area would be a community green space with a play structure. A buffer is being planned to keep people and pets away from the South Hill Swamp area. The drainage on South Hill is a problem. The Town is looking for a level land for the park space with minimal grading. Mr. Monkemeyer is planning to develop all of his properties over the next few years, which would come in phases to the Town. The terrain is very steep, and it is questionable whether this type of grading could be done to construct a road. There has also been interest in developing access roads in this area. Mr. Monkemeyer is insisting on preparing a Site Plan proposal for Phase I, and the Planning Board is going to allow him to do that. Phases H and III would be considered more of a clustering and conservation design for the subdivision, rather than the standard 30,000 square foot lots allover the 100 -acre parcel on South Hill. If Mr. Monkemeyer clustered his property he would be able to get more units on less space. There would be a large area for open space. The Planning Board tries to encourage developers to look into clusters. Planner Tierney pointed out to the Conservation Board where the commercial properties are in this area on a map. a TOWN OF ITHACA CONSERVATION BOARD FINAL MINUTES 3/6/97 Planner Cornish stated that if Mr. Monkemeyer develops Phase I and II he would have to give the Town a 4.5 acres for open space for a park development. Since the Town is unsure what is going to happen with the other parcels, the Town would need to plan on what they could get at this point. If Mr. Monkemeyer develops all his parcels, the Town would receive an 11 -acre park. However, Mr. Monkemeyer has indicated his willingness to give the Town the 11 acres. He has also indicated that he may get control of his sister's property, and that would help the open space park plan. These were just schematic plans to show what Mr. Monkemeyer could do. There has been several discussions with Mr. Monkemeyer about this issue. This park would be considered regional, and the Town would own the park and maintain it. Hopefully, the developer would pay for the road way. Planner Cornish stated that in the Town's Park and Open Space Plan, a connector walkway was going to go straight through the Unique Natural Area. Assistant Town Planner George Frantz, Planner Tierney, and herself had a lengthy discussion about the problems if a trail was put through this area. They wanted to discourage the idea of having people walking through the Unique Natural Area. There is an existing trail, but it is overgrown now. Ms. Cornish pointed out the Unique Natural Area on a map, and where the proposed trail would go in this area. The topography is steep in the South Hill area for bike paths and pedestrian paths. These plans are to give the Board an idea of the direction that the Town is going with the community park, and to ask for any suggestions or comments that the Town should be considering from an environmental stand point. In discussions, the Town Engineer and the Town Supervisor indicated that they do not want the pond as part of the park because they would have to assume liability for the pond and maintenance. It does not mean that it cannot be recommended or that a water feature in the park couldn't be a part of it, it is just the direction the staff was given. Houses could be built around the pond. The pond would need drainage work done if houses were built near that for retention. The location and accessibility of the park have been recommended for a community park. Mr. Monkemeyer is willing within the next four months to give the Town 11 acres for this park. There are not a lot of contiguous parcels that would allow an 11 -acre park that would be buildable for some of the things the Town wants. The 11 acres is more than 10 percent of the land Mr. Monkemeyer wants to be developed. The most leveled land in this area is where the proposed park land is suggested to be. This park would be available to anyone, it would not be a restrictive park The Conservation Board suggested that the Planning Staff work with Ithaca College in regards to a path way from the Campus to College Circle for the students. Ithaca College is working with the Planning Board on campus construction proposed for Ford Hall and the J and M lot parking areas. Ms. Hagedorn stated that she walked the boundaries of the upper part of Buttermilk Falls State Park. It was interesting to see how many people whose property borders the Park have started to use the Park. There is garbage and tree forts near the boundaries. There are several unofficial trails to the Park. There is a small buffer area between the proposed Wiggins development and the Park. Restrictions could be added to the deeds to require a buffer. The Board discussed fencing for the boundary, to act as a buffer to keep people and their animals out of the Park. This possibility would need to be addressed to the Attorney for the Town, for any legal issues on fencing. SOUTH HILL SWAMP UNA - PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND DEC STATUS: The Conservation Board had a lengthy discussion on the proposed resolution to DEC to make some changes and amendments for the language. MOTION by Jon Meigs, seconded by John Yntema: WHEREAS the Conservation Board has been asked to make recommendations for protecting the "South Hill Unique Natural Area," an area of the Town of Ithaca containing special flora, rare ecological communities, old-growth forest, and wetlands, as documented by an inventory conducted in 1996 by experts Nancy Ostman and Robert Wesley, and TOWN OF ITHACA CONSERVATION BOARD FINAL NIINUTES 3/6/97 WHEREAS Nancy Ostman and Robert Wesley consider the South Hill Swamp to be one of the two most unique natural areas within the Town of Ithaca, and WHEREAS such flora are susceptible to destruction or reduction in number to below a level at which they can remain naturally viable within their habitat, through human activity or by activity controllable by humans, such as development or the activities of humans and domestic pets within the area, and WHEREAS such flora are of value to the people of the Town of Ithaca because of their scarcity, their aesthetic qualities, their illustration of the history of occupation and development of the Town, and their utility to education and scientific research, which are ultimately of economic importance to the Town, and WHEREAS the Conservation Board intends to continue and complete its work of defining the area meriting protection, including the South Hill Unique Natural Area, and to make recommendations to the Town concerning appropriate protective measures, in 1997, and WHEREAS a complete assessment of the area's resources will not be obtainable until the 1997 growing season is well underway, thus leaving development plans which are currently under discussion for property in and adjacent to the area without benefit of a complete assessment, be it RESOLVED that the Conservation Board asks the Town Planning Board, Planning Department and other agencies responsible for regulating development in the Town, to take into consideration the above matters when reviewing applications for the development and use of property in and adjoining the South Hill Unique Natural Area, and to consult the Conservation Board before deciding on any such applications. There being no further discussion, Chairperson Zarriello called for a vote. AYES - Zarriello, DeProsse, Hagedorn, Baldwin, Hoffmann, Meigs, Yntema. NAYS - None. The motion was declared to be carried unanimously. Frank Baldwin stated that DEC suggested that the State would be able to protect the South Hill Swamp UNA, or the Town or County would also be able to protect the area. The only areas that the State needs to protect are Class I areas. If the Town writes DEC on why this should be considered an Unique Natural Area, that they might reconsider it. The area does not need to any specific size to be protected.' If the area is to be considered special for protection, the State should be informed of the Town's interests are. Mr. Baldwin will draft a letter for the Conservation Board to review to pass along to the Town Board for review. COY GLEN UNA BOUNDARY CRITERIA: The criteria would be passed along to the subcommittees of the Board for review, and they would bring the information back to the Board for further discussion. ELECTIONS: MOTION by Jon Meigs, seconded by Eva Hoffmann: RESOLVED, that the Conservation Board hereby elects Phil Zarriello as Chair for the 1997 term. A vote on the motion resulted as follows: AYES - DeProsse, Hagedorn, Baldwin, Hoffmann, Meigs, Yntema. NAYS - None. ABSTAIN - Zarriello. The motion was declared to be carried unanimously.

(4) NAYS - None. The motion was declared to be carried unanimously. SUBCOMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS: Planner Cornish stated that the Environmental Review Committee meets separately from the Conservation Board to review the projects at hand. Not all the projects warrant Environmental Review because the Environmental Impact Statements are prepared by Staff, containing their views of the significance of the impact. The Planning Board and Staff take the review and comments from the Environmental Review Committee seriously. This Committee, of the Conservation Board, has an important function, and is the most powerful tool it has, to become involved with what happens in the Town of Ithaca, environmentally. The Committee has met separately for each project that warrants the proper environmental review. The Conservation Board will discuss the subcommittee appointments at the next meeting for review and voting. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Minutes transcribed by DK 4/14/97; edited by JAY 06/26/97 & 6/29/97.

TOWN OF ITHACA CONSERVATION BOARD JANUARY 16, 1997 PRESENT: Chair Phillip Zarriello, Eva Hoffmann, Lois Levitan, Richard Fischer. ABSENT: Jon Meigs. STAFF: Geri Tierney (Planner), George Frantz (Assistant Town Planner). GUESTS: John Yntema, Kara Hagedorn, Barney Unsworth, Frank Baldwin. Chair Phillip Zarriello opened the meeting at 7:30 p.m. o Richard Fischer noted the new Town Historical Markers. o Information about the Environmental Bond Act issue was provided. o Chair Zarriello reported on the Citizens Advisory Council for the Veterinary Waste Incinerator. o The Full Environmental Assessment for the CU Lake Source Cooling Project will be available soon for the Conservation Board to review. o Assistant Planner George Frantz mentioned the meeting between the Town Planning and Engineering Departments and Ithaca College regarding the addition to Ford Hall. Ithaca College has submitted a formal application for the Ford Hall project. The Planning Department will pass information to the CB for review, when it is received. No additional information on the parking lot has been received yet. o Eva Hoffmann stated that the Planning Board had a sketch plan presentation by Ithaca College, which included all the plans for the projects in the future and the parking lot. Ithaca College was asked to provide more details to the Planning Board. The Planning Board echoed the CB concerns about potential drainage problems. There was a brief discussion on the parking lot issues at .Ithaca College. o Chair Zarriello presented a writeup of the Conservation Board history. o Lois Levitan noted that she saw a newspaper report that a potential developer approached the Town Board at their last meeting, and asked for more information. George Frantz gave a brief description of this project, which is a potential proposal for low income family housing units on the Ceracche property located on Mecklenburg Road. o Assistant Town Planner Frantz presented the working draft of Park, Recreation, 0 and Open Space Plan to this Board. Mr. Frantz mentioned some of the revisions of the Plan, costs and possible funding mechanisms (bonding, partnerships, purchase of development rights). The Plan examines the Town's assets and needs for growth, and outlines a strategic plan for meeting the Town's need for parks and recreational facilities. Implementation of this Plan depends upon the Town's growth; the need for parks facilities would reflect development in the Town. The plan identifies multiple small neighborhood parks, and 3 community parks that are approximately 15 to 20 acres in size that could accommodate baseball and or soccer fields intended to serve a wider area than the neighborhood parks. The Plan also identifies natural areas that would be considered for future Conservation Zones. Costs for incorporating 25 percent of the Town area into Conservation Zone were described. o The report by Nancy Ostman and Bob Wesley on the South Hill Swamp was briefly reviewed. The CB will ask Ostman and Wesley for a more detailed inventory of South Hill Swamp during the next growing season. The information provided indicates the Town should seek a designation of a DEC regulated wetland from the State because the Ostman/Wesley report indicates extend to a area larger than a 12 -acre. w c l-[c� 1c1 t s l u r��z �I i. c•.�i [2-L-( cLL.-=-s o Potential new members to the CB introduced themselves and gave a brief summary of their interests to the CB.

Chair Phillip Zarriello opened the meeting at 7:30 'p.m. o Lois Levitan raised the issue of cleaning Town culverts and ditches. Concern was expressed about the method and ensuing erosion that typically results. Chair Zarriello stated that Fred Noteboom, Highway Superintendent, should be invited back to the CB to discuss that issue, and to meet new members. o Geri Tierney distributed information on a New York State Wetland Conference in Rochester this March. Anyone interested in attending this conference, please notify Ms. Tierney before February 14. o One- and two-year terms for the Conservation Board were discussed. Jaen 5vinr Yntema volunteered serve a one-year term. o Chair Zarriello reported that the EIS for the Cornell University Lake Source Cooling Project will be available in March for review. An update was given on the Cornell Veterinary School Incinerator Project. Information and the Town's involvement on the Water Front Study was discussed. o The Ithaca Town Board reappointed Phillip Zarriello as CB Chair. The CB will nominate a Vice -Chair in March. Subcommittees activities and membership were discussed. Members will be appointed to subcommittees at the next meeting. The chair of the ERC (Environmental Review Committee) and the CB will continue to provide a preliminary project review and make the determination as to whether a full ERC project review is needed. The CB formerly received summaries of development review projects. The CB would like continue recieving this summary in order to keep informed. o Approval of the minutes from 11/7/96 with no changes was moved by Lois Levitan and seconded Phil Zarriello. All members present voted in favor, except Eva Hoffmann who abstained. o Actions regarding the South Hill UNA were discussed. The Ostman/Wesley report map, showing vegetation areas and their characteristics, was reviewed. The necessity of buffering the South Hill Swamp from nearby residential development, including pets, pesticides and invasive plants that accompany them, were considered. The issue of urgency related to development pressure in this area was discussed. The Evan Monkemeyer sketch plan (for single family homes on large lots) is currently the only proposed development in the immediate area. The Planning Board has asked Mr. Monkemeyer to revise the sketch plan to provide a buffer between the development and the UNA. The CB agrees that the eastern boundary of Monkemeyer's property be undeveloped to buffer the UNA. Jon Meigs suggested the CB should comment on the proposed community park associated with this development. The activities associated with a recreation park may conflict with the preservation of the UNA. Meigs proposed that active recreational public areas be distanced from the South Hill UNA. The CB discussed buffering the UNA from proposed park development in that area, particularly from dogs. The CB noted options for buffering the natural area, including distance, fencing, signage and recommend no direct connection be made between the potential recreational park and the UNA. The CB felt it is important that they be involved in the park planning process in this area. The CB would like to rehire Nancy Ostman and Bob Wesley to better document plant life in the UNA this spring/summer. Wildlife information would also be useful. o The CB tabled the discussion of the Coy Glen UNA until the March meeting. ACTION ITEMS: o Jon Meigs will draft a resolution to staff, Planning Board, and Town Board to request development actions in this area be minimized until the CB completes their analysis of South Hill UNA and can properly delineate area that should be protected. o Frank Baldwin will be contacting DEC to determine what is required to have the South Hill UNA redesignated as a DEC regulated wetland. o Dick Fischer will contact local "birders" who may be interested in providing a bird survey of the South hill UNA. The meeting was adjourned at 9:55 p.m. draft for discussion/for cb march 97 meeting RESOLUTION OF THE CONSERVATION BOARD OF THE TOWN OF ITHACA (date) WHEREAS the Conservation Board has been asked to make recommendations for protecting the "South Hill Unique Natural Area, an area of the Town of Ithaca containing special flora, including some known to be rare or scarce within the region, as documented by an inventory conducted in 1996 by experts Nancy Ostman and Robert Wesley, and WHEREAS such flora are susceptible to destruction or reduction in number to below a level at which they can remain naturally viable within their habitat, through human activity or by activity controllable by humans, such as development or the activities of humans and domestic pets within the area, and WHEREAS such flora are of value to the people of the Town of Ithaca because of their scarcity, their aesthetic qualities, their illustration of the history of occupation and development of the Town, and their utility to education and scientific research, which are ultimately of economic importance to the Town, and WHEREAS the Conservation Board intends to continue and complete its work of precisely defining the area meriting protection, including the South Hill Unique Natural Area, and to make recommendations to the Town concerning appropriate protective measures, in 1997, it is RESOLVED that the Conservation Board asks the Town Planning Board, Planning Department and other agencies responsible for regulating development in the Town, to take into consideration the above matters when reviewing applications for the development and use of property in and adjoining the South Hill Unique Natural Area, and to consult the Conservation Board before deciding on any such applications.

As the staff support person for the Environmental Review Committee, I look forward to a more formalized committee and a regularly scheduled meeting of the ERC. In conversations with both Geri and Jonathan, we came up with some possible scenarios for make up of the ERC for the CB's discussion and consideration. The ERC could: 1.) remain as a subcommittee of the CB with a chairperson and three members who will meet on an as needed basis, or who will meet on an as needed basis at a regularly scheduled time and day (preferably on the regularly scheduled third Thursday of each month), 2.) become incorporated in the CB meeting of the whole, where all CB members participate in the review of projects, at a time set aside at each meeting for the reviews, or 3.) the ERC could have a coordinator who will designate responsibilities to different members of the CB who may have a particular interest in a certain project, this person would review the project, visit the site, and prepare comments for review by the CB. The coordinator would stay the same but the "project point person" would vary according to a member's time and interest. This would allow for total CB involvement but would not require a large commitment of time from any one member. Project presentation and discussion could take place as part of the regularly scheduled CB meeting or the CB could meet on the third Thursday specifically for project reviews (on an as needed basis). I will be attending the March 6, 1997 meeting to discuss the Monkemeyer park schematics with the CB as well as the reformation of the ERC. The above scenarios are only suggestions. Any thoughts you would like to add on the subject would be appreciated. Staff relies heavily on the ERC's comments as does the Planning Board when reviewing projects. It is in the Town's best interest if we can get this committee up and running once again. If you would like to discuss this further before next Thursday's meeting, feel free to call me.

Many participants felt that the town did not anticipate such a high degree of opposition to the SHRW proposal. They also felt that some residents' opposition was fueled early on in the process when proponents of the SHRW came to meetings ill prepared to address residents' objections and concerns. Factors Influencing Opposition to Greenways: Greenway Product r2.21I Dogs. Perhaps the most common objection concerned unleashed dogs and dog feces both on the trail and on private property. Some of the participants had been frightened or felt threatened by dogs running on the lose, whose owners were unable to (or did. not voluntarily) control their animals. One home owner , would not allow his own dogs to use the SHRW because of the amount of fecal matter in the vicinity of the trail. Many expressed the need for more enforcement of the leash laws on the SHRW. r2.2.kl Diminished Privacy. Several homeowners who lived in close proximity to the SHRW had suffered a reduction in privacy. A few of these participants had homes which were less than 50 ft. from the right of way. This distance was not adequate enough to incorporate yard as well as effective screening.
