PRESENT : David Stotz , Harry Ellsworth , Ronald Krantz , James Niefer , Andrew Frost, Director of Building and
Zoning, John Barney , Town Attorney .
EXCUSED : Kirk Sigel .
OTHERS : Phebe Cook , Gary Westfall , Joanne Bonanni , Patricia Petrillo, Andrea Coby Riddle , Bill Gaffney .
Chairman Stotz called the meeting to order at 7 : 10 p . m . , stating that all posing, publication , and notification of
the public hearing had been completed and were in the same order.
The first appeal to be heard by the board was as follows :
APPEAL of the Montessori School , Owner , Appellant, Andrea Riddle and Peter Demjanec , R.A. Agents,
requesting a variance from Section 4 . 01 - 1 of the Town of Ithaca Sign law to be permitted to erect a 10 . 5
square foot freestanding sign (4 square feet maximum allowed) at the school 's annex building at 117 East King
Road , Town of Ithaca Tax Parcel No . 43 - 2 - 7 , Residence District R- 15 .
• Peter Demjanec, Architect, stated they were asking to erect the Montessori School Annex sign which was
previously denied . Several changes had been made to the sign . Mr. Demjanec stated the sign would be moved
from 21 feet from the road to 42 feet from the edge of the road . The sign would not be illuminated as asked before .
The applicants moved the sign so that it was clearly on the Montessori School property as there was question of the
location before . They had previously asked for the sign to be mounted six feet above grade and they were presently
requesting the sign to be four feet above grade . In the sign 's relocated position it was located inside the planting bed .
Mr. Demjanec hoped with the changes the board would feel the visual impact of the sign was substantially reduced .
Mr . Demjanec stated the sign had already been made and many had an opportunity to see the sign erected
on the site . He presented photographs of the sign when it was temporarily erected . Mr. Demjanec stated he had
looked at the sign ordinance and coordinated the sign ordinance with the zoning ordinance . In residential districts
two sizes of signs were as of right. One size was a 24 square feet afforded to schools , churches , libraries , museums ,
nursing homes and similar institutes . In the zoning ordinance this group of uses existed only in residential districts and
by special permit. The zoning ordinance may be creating a reasonable level of public safety when there was an
institution that gathers large numbers of people . Mr, Demjanec hoped the board felt the Montessori School needed
a sign of this size to be safe on the roadway . The roadway had a multiple residence district up hill with a 24 square
foot sign as of right. There was a commercial district down hill that had 50 square foot signs as of right.
The other sign that existed as of right in residential districts was a four square foot sign . The four square foot
sign was for home occupations . Mr. Demjanec explained the four square foot sign did not have the size to
accomplish the function of letting people be aware of the school . He felt a four square foot sign at the complex
• would be more of a hazard than a benefit.

Mr. Demjanec presented to the board a blue sheet ofpaper that was 24 square feet in size. He then placed
a four square foot board to show how the contrast. The board was not very vlsible. He then presented
photographs with the four square foot board erected on the site. Mr. Demjanec placed the Montessori School
Annex Sign over the blue sheet ofpaper to show the srgn was much smaller than 24 square feet.
Mr . Demjanec stated the size of the sign was described as 10 square feet. The actual size was a little over 9
square feet. He explained it . was the smallest sign for the site and still be able to adequately announce the presence
of the facility without creating hazards from a sign that was too small or a nuisance from having a sign that was too
large . The sign was a reasonable balance point.
Andrea Riddle , School Administrator, stated the school had received positive feedback since the new sign had
been erected at the main building. The annex sign was temporarily erected during the renaming of the school and
received positive feedback from neighbors . She provided to the board copies of letters from their neighbors
supporting the sign .
Chairman Stotz stated the school was saying a small sign would cause people to look too closely in order to
identify the annex.
Mr. Demjance responded a sign was two things . One was to announce and promote the present of an
institution . The sign also served as a public safety device on a roadway .
• Chairman Stotz asked what signs could be seen in the immediately area from the location of the proposed
sign .
Mr . Demjanec stated other signs were not in the area other than the Montessori School sign from across the
street. A sign for the multiple residence could be seen . The Sam Peters sign could also be seen from the school .
Chairman Stotz asked where the commercial zone line was located .
Mr. Demjanec showed Chairman Stotz where the line was on drawings provided to the board .
Mr . Niefer stated he did not have any objects to the new proposed signs .
Mr. Krantz stated he did not have any objects given the safety factor, support of the neighbors , the changes
the applicant had made and that the sign was on their property.
Chairman Stotz opened the public hearing at 7 : 27 p . m . and asked if anyone present wished to be heard .
Joanne Bonanni , 134 East King Road , stated the sign was beautiful and unintrusive .
Chairman Stotz closed the public hearing at 7 : 28 p . m . with no other persons present wishing to be heard .

residence . The lot had a depth of 125 feet ( 150 foot depth required) . A special approval under Article XII ,
Section 54 of the ordinance may also be requested .
Gary Westfall , applicant, stated he and his family were selling their house and thought there was an apartment
in the house . The house fell short on the distance from the road to meet the requirements of having an apartment.
They also needed to have a plumbing and electrical inspection to bring the apartment up to code . The house
bordered Eco Village and the back parcel bordered an agricultural area . Mr. Westfall stated their house was assessed
for $ 118 ,000 and they were selling it for $82 , 500 as long as there is an apartment. The person buying would like the
apartment to help pay the mortgage .
Director of Building and Zoning Frost stated the house only had a depth of 125 feet and it was a requirement
of 150 feet for their request. The Zoning Ordinance allowed an undersized building lot to be built upon but, only
with a single family residence . Currently , everything was legal and it would not allow a two family residence building
lot.
Attorney Barney asked how many units were paid for water and sewer .
Mr. Westfall stated he did not know.
Director of Building and Zoning Frost stated he thought it was assessed as a two family residence .
• Mr. Krantz stated the houses were widely spaced in the area and on the other side of West Haven there was
not a house . He felt the house was located off Mecklenburg Road so an extra car would not be noticed .
Chairman Stotz asked why they were unable to sell the house because of the zoning change .
Mr. Westfall state the house was certified for a single family. The person who would like to buy the house.
would like it with the apartment. The house is not qualified to have an apartment. The current buyer was the first
offer he had since the house was on the market.
Chairman Stotz asked if any houses in the neighborhood had apartments .
Mr. Niefer asked if a two residence property could be located there .
Attorney Barney stated there was a requirement that any undersized lot could have a single family house but
not a two family.
Mr. Krantz stated the house across the street had elderly permanent boarders for many years .
Chairman Stotz asked if the request required a special approval .
Attorney Barney replied that by allowing the second residence they were enlarging a non-conforming use
•which was a special use activity. On the other hand to allow a two family on a single house was a variance in terms
of the ordinance .
