CORPORATE COUNSEL'S REPORT
Cornell Heights Case
Corporate Counsel Stumbar reported that the brief in the Cornell
Heights, Cornell University vs the City of Ithaca Board of Zoning
Appeals was submitted on June 1Sth. The Cornell_ Heights residents
also hired a lawyer and submitted a brief, taking the same position
as the City did, with respect. eo t.ry i rig 'i_o >I-Op Cornell expansion
into Cornell }Heights. The aj) -,peal sholzlcl be argued i-rk September with
a decision in November.
Billboards
Corporate Counsel Stumbar reported that the City had a large victory
in the Roy Park sign ordinance case regarding reimbursement. The old
law used to be that we would have to reimburse the fair market value
of the signs. In October 1983 the law was changed to read reimburse-
ment is required only if the period of amo7 "ti zat ion of the signs was
unreasonable. Given the long length of time we have been tied up in
litigation, our period of amortization becomes more and more reasonable.
Prohibition of Guns in Six Mile Creek Area
Corporate Counsel Stum ar reported that there will be a memorandum
forthcoming from him prohibiting carrying guns in that area.
Forest Home Drive
Corporate Counsel Stumbar reported that the memo on Forest Home Drive
has been completed and the City will be meeting with Cornell University
