4. Staff Reports
Strand
Evans reported on a telephone conversation she had earlier in the day with DOS
representative John Araujo. Neither ARC nor the DOS are further along with
approval for sale of the theatre and discussions are still going on between the
various agencies. Araujo is gathering data and will soon be in contact with
the Mayor to hear how the URA stands . All parties seem to agree that the building
need not be heated this winter. The main question is how to recoup grant funds
through the sale of the building. Evans asked if the agency had any questions
they'd like her to ask ARC or DOS.
Jones asked if there were any way to send the remaining funds back to ARC and
extricate the city from further dealings with the project. Van Cort said that
the URA had accepted the administration of the funds and that it would not be
advisable to walk out until the final closeout. Evans agreed and said that
ARC will hold the city to its administrative duties. Jones asked if Ed Conley
could help move the project along. Stein said Ed would help if the agency
could voice what it was exactly it wanted done. At the moment, there isn't
anything to do except wait for the DOS to let the city know what the next step
should be. Sale of the building has to be accomplished by the owners and ARC
will have to approve the advertisement of the building, the sale and the contracts
regarding the sale. Stein said there was no cost to the city in waiting the
process out.
6th Year Small Cities
Goldwyn announced that the final Small Cities grant was approved in mid-December
and that the letter of credit for release of the funds was expected soon. He

said that staff is developing schedules to insure prompt close-out of remaining
projects. At present staff is meeting with sponsors to review some of the projects
that must be closed-out during 1984.
5. Economic Development Committee
Collegetown Redevelopment Project
Jones said that tonight's discussion was a follow-up to the December 21st meeting
when the agency offered the opportunity to various boards , committee groups, and
individuals to review the Collegetown design. She added that the agency has until
Friday, January l34h, to come up with a recommendation to Common Council. She
asked Planner Herman Sieverding to update the agency on some of the concerns
expressed about the project since the December meeting.
Sieverding said that the primary issue of the Design Review Board, the Planning
and Development Board and the P&D Committee was the inadequate handicapped acces-
sibility throughout the project, but especially between the parking garage and
the Performing Arts Center and between the garage and the lower retail level .
Safety issues regarding pedestrian traffic and vehicular access from Dryden Road
to the garage had also been voiced. Failure of the overall design objective to
link Eddy Street and College Avenue in a cohesive way was another criticism, as well
as objections to the exterior facade material and color choice.
Architect David Taube was asked to respond to these issues . As far as the lack of
the handicapped access between the garage and the lower level was concerned, Taube
took complete responsibility. He said an error had been made when calculating the
slope's grade. He would now like to redesign the plaza to accommodate the actual
slope or to add an elevator in the NW corner of the garage. Regarding the vehi-
cular access to the garage and pedestrian safety, traffic and transportation consul-
tant Travers does not believe that there will be problems with the design. If he
turns out to be wrong, Van Cort said, the design leaves room for mediation. College-
town's circulation problem is based on topographical conditions and enforcement,
Van Cort said; not on volume. Stein questioned the Performing Arts Center discharge
from the parking garage. Van Cort said that Cornell could put a traffic person at
the corner during the surge.
Responding to questions about the exterior building material , Taube said that
savings of initial building costs and labor, long term savings on energy efficiency
and the flexibility of the material had been considerations when the choice of
this product was made. This material was developed in Europe after the 2nd World
War. It became popular there because of its low cost and came to the United
States in the early 1960 's. Since then, particularly in the '70's, it has become
popular because of its energy efficiency. The material is receiving a lot of
attention and use, Taube said. In Ithaca, both the new office; building on
the corner of Buffalo and Tioga and the new Ramada Inn tower have used it. Stein
asked what the longevity of the material was . Taube noted the buildings are still
standing. Stein asked why more people were not using it and Taube said it was
because the material was just becoming known. Stein asked about its drawbacks .
Taube said that every material has its drawbacks if not used correctly. Discus-
sion about the color followed. Taube said there are 101 color choices. Choice,
he said, is a questions of taste. There are no cost differences in color choice
and he would be glad to listen to other suggestions. Gutenberger asked Taube to
provide samples of the exact color that has been chosen by the architects at the
next meeting.

The hotel was discussed next. Rooms will be approximately 12'6 x 20' , Taube said,
not including bathrooms. Stein asked what was the typical hotel room size for po-
pular hotels such as the Sheraton and -Howard Johnsons. Taube said they ran
from 10°6 x 18' to 13'6 x 18' . He said that they are working with Cornell con-
sultants to the hotel industry and that, although they are not aiming towards the
top end of luxury rooms , they will be aiming for the most expensive end of accomo-
dation in Ithaca.
Anne Jones asked about the status of the Environmental Impact. Study. Planning
staff said they had wanted to have some preliminary idea of what might be con-
structed before beginning the review. They are trying to work with Cornell so
that all three of the project components can be studied together. The City Building
Commissioner will make the determination if an EIS is necessary. If it is determined
that one is, then RFP's will be sent out or the developer will hire a consultant
from a list of consultants jointly developed. The city will be responsible for the
garage portion of the study, Cornell for the PAC, and the developers for the
hotel . Jones asked if action by the city should be delayed until the EIS is
finished. Sieverding said no; this is not a final design decision. There will be
room for changes even after the UDAG application is filed. Stein asked if any
public comments had been received. Sieverding said no. A letter was sent tothe
civic associations of the area in December informing them of the design review
schedule and asking for their participation. Gutenberger asked that the resolution
be moved so that comments could be taken from the floor.
Jones MOVED that
WHEREAS, the IURA has received comments from the Planning and Development Board,
Design Review Board and Planning and Development Committee concerning
the design of the proposed hotel and parking garage project in College-
town and,
WHEREAS, a number of design issues have been raised which will require resolution
before final (UDAG) approval including
(a) handicapped accessibility between the parking garage and
the lower levels of retail space on Dryden Road and fronting the
proposed plaza on Eddy Street;
(b) handicapped accessibility between the parking garage and the Per-
forming Arts Center;
(c) vehicular access from Dryden Road to the parking garage, speci-
fically the width of Dryden Road and radius of the curve west of
the hotel/garage entrance;
(d) pedestrian circulation along Dryden Road and potential conflict
with vehicles entering the garage and hotel ;
and,
WHEREAS, the Common Council has designated the IURA as lead agency for the project
and specifically designated design approval to the IURA, and
IURA/CDA MINUTES

WHEREAS, the IURA wants to receive comments from the Common Council concerning
the schematic design of the project, and
WHEREAS, the Common Council will have future opportunities to review and approve
or reject the project, now
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the IURA give the schematic design preliminary
and conditional approval subject to hearing the Common Council comments
on the design and satisfactory resolution of the design issues discussed
above by the time UDAG approval is sought.
Dennis SECONDED this Motion and Gutenberger opened the meeting to questions from
the floor.
Council representative Haines asked about the choice of exterior facade material
for the street level of the building. Taube said that in the rendering of the
building the first level of the hotel was concrete; in the plan, the sidewalks are
all brick and it may be possible to continue some of that on the facade's first
floor. He added that it was important to point out that the insulation material
went only to the top of the first floor. Stein said he thought this answer was
vague. The resolution on the floor appears to assume a final step, he said. If
the agency voted to approve it, the city will likely be stuck with the present
design. Although developers and architects are well meaning in their attempts
to change things to suit the city, dollar considerations become a problem and
most often the design stands as originally presented. He added that he was con-
cerned about the exterior materials and asked if the agency will have to make its
decision based on this design. Sieverding said that the resolution of these
issues could be a prerequisite to a UDAG decision.
Taube noted that the design process is long and that the URA should look at the
entire picture. Travis , however, pointed out that Stein 's observation was
correct; approval of the design should signify that the developers can sign off
on the project and begin construction. He said that he has already put a lot of
money into this preliminary portion of the project and that it is important to get
going as soon as possible. Sieverding said then it would be conditional approval ,
with the conditions satisfied by the time the city makes a decision on the UDAG.
It was discussed and agreed that this would not be in conformance with the option
agreement which allows for city design approval at Schematic Design Phase and
Design Development Phase. The resolution should therefore be changed reflecting
this. Stein then suggested that the resolution read that final design approval be
at the end of Design Development Phase. He also noted that the resolution showed
no reference to the exterior facade materials. Travis has control over some portions
-of the project but not all of them. It is not just the handicap access that is
weak, Stein added. The entire accessibility of the building is in question.
Council person Dan Hoffman commented that the sequence of events does not follow
the city's ordinance. The EIS should have been accomplished before design of the
project. He said he was concerned that the URA was not abiding by the spirit of
the ordinance.
Stein asked if the agency could legally approve the design without the EIS. It
was agreed that an attorney would have to answer this. Van Cort said that staff
thought they would get more out of an environmental review now that some preli-
IURA/CDA MINUTES
January 9, 1984
page 5
minary design was available. Hoffman said that there was too much pressure at
this time to make a decision. The EIS is meant to help make basic design decisions.
In his opinion, the time frame to make these decisions has been too short.
Discussion followed as to whether the agency should make any recommendation
before hearing from Council . Gutenberger asked that they give Council some
sense of the agency's feelings about the project. A long discussion regarding
the resolution ensued after which Stein MOVED to amend the resolution as
follows :
WHEREAS, the IURA has received comments from the Planning and Development Board,
Design Review Board and Planning and Development Committee concerning
the design of the proposed hotel and parking garage project in College-
town, and
WHEREAS, a number of design issues have been raised which will require further
examination and resolution to the satisfaction of the IURA and subject
to the terms and conditions of the options before final design approval
in the Design Development phase including:
(a) handicapped accessibility between the parking garage and the
lower level of retail space on Dryden Road and fronting the proposed
plaza on Eddy Street;
(b) handicapped accessibility between the parking garage and the
Performing Arts Center;
(c) vehicular access from Dryden Road to the parking garage, specifi-
cally the width of Dryden Road and radius of the curve west of the
hotel/garage entrance;
(d) pedestrian circulation along Dryden Road and potential conflict with
vehicles entering the garage and hotel ;
(e) the selection of exterior building materials, including type,
color and texture;
(f) the selection of paving materials and landscaping;
(g) the completion of an environmental review process according
to existing City and State laws ; and
WHEREAS, the Common Council has designated the IURA as lead agency for the project
and specifically designated approval to the IURA, now
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the IURA give the schematic design preliminary
and conditional approval subject to hearing the Common Council
comments on the design and satisfactory resolution of the design
issues discussed above by the Design Development phase.
Jones SECONDED and MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Gutenberger asked that a copy of this resolution be taken to the city clerk early
the following morning for mailing to Council members. Both T.aube and Travis con-
curred with the sense of the resolution.

6. Neighborhoods and Housing
INHS Contract Amendment
Goldwyn said that since the creation of the INHS rental program, NHS has requested
each year that funds from the Homeowner Loan and Grant administration line be
moved to the rental rehabilitation administration line. No HUD approval is
necessary for this transfer. There is neither gain nor loss to the funds committed
to INHS. The amendment accomodates staffing needs.
Dennis MOVED and Stein SECONDED that
WHEREAS, Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. has requested a modest
transfer between administrative fund allocations for their contracted
programs, now
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that $23,750 (Twenty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred and
Fifty Dollars) be transferred from s601 .2a Homeowner Loans and
Grants to S601 .3a Rental Program Administration, and 'that the Mayor
be authorized and directed to sign the adjusted contract.
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
7. Public Infrastructure and Services
Community Gardens
Goldwyn said that there was no substantive progress since the December 1983 meeting
regarding the target area plots. The County, however, is considering three in-town
jail sites, one of which is the NYSEG site on 3rd and Elmira Road. Goldwyn said
that Dennis, as Council liaison to the jail site committee, has let the jail site
committee know of URA's suggestion that CD could defray costs of buying the land
if the county let the gardeners continue their use of a portion of the site. Gold-
wyn has spoken with Liguori and the 3 sites are to be discussed at the meeting on
the 16th. Because a jail at the UFAIR site might jeopardize leasing of Cherry
Street, the agency might recommend that they review the NYSEG property first.
Jones suggested that the gardeners be urged to choose the land they want to buy by
February. After that, the growing season will keep them very busy and the opportu-
nity might be more difficult to come by. Stein added that the county was waiting
for city input and Gutenberger said he would call Harris Dates in the morning.
Shelter for Battered Women
Evans said that the shelter had recently suffered flooding in their basement. Both
the city-owned furnace and hot-water heater were on blocks but the shelter's own
freezer, though. not damaged, was not. At the time the Task Force moved in, CD
staff had suggested that they put in a sump pump in case flooding might occur as
the building is built over an underground stream. At that time, the Task Force
showed no . interest in the sump pump but since the recent flooding they have
changed their minds . As permission of the city is required each time a maintenance
problem or the need to make a capital improvement comes up, Evans asked that the
URA give their approval for the installation of the pump. The Task Force will use
their own funds for the pump and the installation ( a .sum of about $150) .

Community Arts
Jones asked about the status of the Community Arts contract. Goldwyn said that
the agency authorized the contract signing at the December meeting. The dollar
amounts are known but the distribution of workshops is still being worked out.
Once the figures are firm, the Mayor can sign the contract. This should be
accomplished by the next meeting.
6. Business and Administration
No report. Reed was unavailable so the personnel portion of the meeting was
postponed.
7. Old Business
Cherry Street
A staff meeting to discuss the Cherry Street Industrial Park is scheduled for the
next week.
8. New Business
Dennis asked if the agency was still happy with the committee structure. No member
voiced any objections.

- Strand
This part of the meeting was recorded. The tape is filed in the CD office.
Jones said her subcommittee had met with the Mayor and Corporate Counsel
Stumbar on the 1st of February to discuss the situation of the Strand Theatre.
On the receipt of a letter from the Appalachian Regional Commission on
February 25 regarding the concurrance of ARC, the Department of State and HUD
that it is time to take action against the owners -to secure the funds owed
by the theatre owners, the committee proposed the following resolution.
MOVED by Jones, SECONDED by Dennis
WHEREAS, according to the Tripartite: Lease Agreement between the Strand
Theatre owners, TC3PA and the City of Ithaca, which stated in
part that, should TC3PA become defunct and no longer able to
develop and manage programming in the theatre, the owners are
responsible forfinding-another group within six months which
could carry out the intent of the ARC grant, and
IURA/CDA MINUTES
February 27, 1984
page 2
WHEREAS, the owners have been afforded over six months to find another
responsible not-for-profit group which can care for the building
and manage community programming therein, and
WHEREAS, no such group has been found and presented to the IURA/CDA, and
WHEREAS, requests to the Appalachian Regional Commission to provide guidance
on how to settle the responsibilities of the owners and the City
as included in the Lease Agreement, dated February 4, 1981 and
amended on August 10, 1981 , has resulted in direction to excercise
Paragraph 8 of said agreement which states that the owners shall
repay 74% of the depreciated value of the capital expenditures
from the ARC grant, now
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the IURA/CDA directs the City Attorney/Corporate
Counsel to take such legal actions as are necessary to secure such
funds from the owners and to report regularly to the IURA/CDA on
progress on. this matter.
Discussion followed on the floor.
The Mayor said he'd received a letter late Friday afternoon from Bill Wilcox's
attorney Jim Miller asking for progress on the Strand. Miller saidhe'_bad
understood that delays were due to the installation of a new administration.
Evans said- that staff had been waiting for many months for a response from
the. Federal Government on how to proceed and had only received written guidance
on February 25th. She went on to say she believed that former City Attorney
Tavelli had asked for such guidance in August or September bf 1983. To her
-khowl edge, .nothing;_about;the_cdel ay had to do with the administration'-change.
She said that—Stumbar has- determined that the notification appraising the
owners of the beginning of the six months search time, sent in October of 1982,
had been appropriate. This notice was then followed up by -attorneys:on both
sides, Mulvey of Miller's office asking that the time period be extended because
of the Ithaca Ballet Guild's proposal . The agency granted this extension and
-over six months were-spent with the Guild's proposal alone. Dennis said it
was more like a year and four months since the-initial six month _notice was
--given and Reed said owners might soon claim a statute of limitations if the
agency did not act- soon.
IURA/CDA MINUTES -

After the Guild pulled out, Jones said, other concerned citizens presented
themselves but their interest hardly lasted two weeks once they were confronted
with the amount of money needed to open and operate the theatre. The owners
proposed a sale scheme for the building in the Fall of 1983. It has always been
the goal of ARC to attempt to encourage use of the building as a theatre. In
several calls between Shaw and Tavelli and the ARC, it began to appear that
a sale might be acceptable to the feds , especially since it appeared as though
at least one movie company might make an offer. Now, Jones suggested, since
the building has begun to be cleared of theatre equipment, the focus of ARC
has shifted to its present direction, that of taking action to regain funds.
Reed agreed that the city should move ahead. If another group comes up that
shows interest and capability in reviving the theatre, the city would welcome
it.
The 74% of depreciated value probably starts at the point of time when substantial
completion of the project was achieved; approximately in December of 1982. Evans
said that ARC has indicated Fiscal Accountants from HUD will assist the IURA/CDA
in determining what was capital expenditure and the exact starting date of depre-
ciation. The items taken from the theatre (lights, curtains , screens , mirrors, etc. )
were not paid for by the ARC but, when federal officials realised how difficult the
potential for sale of the building as a theatre would be without this equipment,
they saw how it would result only in more time spent in monitoring the project
without any potential for funds recapture.
Dennis said he supports the resolution. He added, that staff should not spend
any more time on it and that it was time the owners begin to deal with the
problems. Reed agreed and said the scenario has been played out in full . Jones
noted that the resolution does not preclude action from groups coming from the
outside to deal w ith the owners and that the owners can still search for respon-
sible successors. The city, however, should not spend any more time in this
search.
Dennis questioned the last Resolve of the resolution and asked if the term
'City Attorney' or 'Corporate Counsel ' should be used The Mayor said the
title change was still in the Charter and Ordinance Committee of the city
and that 'City Attorney/Corporate Counsel ' should be used.
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Dennis commented on the long hard work that committee members Jones and Reed
expended on this project and on the time spent by staff member Evans.- He said
this was much appreciated by the agency and, though the theatre had not succeeded,
- every effort had been made to make the project go. The Mayor concurred.
- Task Force for Battered Women
Jones said the committee had met with the Task Force and that a report would
be heard at the next regular meeting.
6. Budget and Administration Committee

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the IURA/CDA authorizes a step raise increase
to Natalie de Combray's salary from Step 5 to Step 6, retroactive
to. February 1 , 1984.
Jones asked that she not be included in the quorum calls generally made by
de Combray on the afternoons of the meeting.
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
7. Neighbohoods and Housing Committee
- Housing Affordability
Two meetings have recently been held to discuss housing affordability in the
city. Evans said several directions are being investigated to expand the
housing supply for low/mod income households outside of the target area. In
the report of Clavel/Blurienthal/Niederkorn, 23 suggestions on how to
achieve this goal had been made. 'Stuart Stein has suggested that the committee
work with the P&D Board to discuss these suggestions and to acquire additional
input. There will be a report on this at the next URA meeting.
Dennis said that Evans has spent a lot of time on this project and hopes that
all of the city will be involved. Van Cort noted that a lot has been
accomplished in the last weeks.
- Community Gardens
Dennis asked about the community gardens. The NYSEG property is up for sale
at $265,000. Jones said that the gardeners are very discouraged. There is
no problem with the gardeners being banned from the site per the lease, but
in terms of labor equity their having to move again is very disheartening. Several
other sites are being investigated but it is difficult to get answers from some
owners. Goldwyn is also trying to work something out with-NHS regarding a
parcel in Southside. He will be back for the next meeting and will be able
to make a report.
Dennis said it is very important to conclude this porject within the current
fiscal year Reed agreed and said staff must push ahead to bring the garden
to a conclusion as the gardeners have put a great deal of effort and energy
into this project and twice have beautified properties, increasing the value
of someone else's land. It is time to see them settled in their own permanent
site.

- Jobs Bill
Jones asked about the status of the Jobs Bill application. Evans said that
HUD has not yet made a determination. They are waiting for information
on unemployment figures for two different parts of the year. Ithaca is not
yet out of the running but ranking is not yet available. She said that there
should be some information during this week or next.
- DSS
Jones informed the Mayor that the Town and Village of Ithaca had been asked
to suggest appointments to the Advisory Council of DSS. She said this
could be of some concern to the city as the majority of members come from
rural locations . As the agency had taken a strong stand regarding the loca-
tion of the DSS offices, she felt that the City should also be represented
on the council .
- NHS
Evans reported that NHS has received $30,000 from the Neighborhood Preservation
Corporation to superinsulate 2 housing units. She noted that NHS was still
very active .in its search for outside funding, an important role as CD funds
remain uncertain in the future.
The Mayor called the meeting to a recess at 5:30 PM.
The meeting reconvened, joined by Common Council , at 8:30 PM. Clarence Reed
was not present at this portion of the meeting, Stuart Stein was present.
8. Economic Development Committee

fering the development site to the developer, administering the
proposed UDAG loan and administering the development agreements that
will be entered into as part of this project, and
WHEREAS, the Economic Development Committee of the IURA has been part of
