Applicant:Dan Hirtler for William &Angie Chen Anticipated Board Action(s)in March:Consideration of Preliminary &Final Approval Project Description:The property at 424 Dryden Road was subdivided 2015 to form a new parcel at 319 Oak Avenue.The required off street parking for 424 Dryden Road was formerly located on the part of the original parcel which was subdivided.The goal of this project is to provide the five required off street parking spaces for the small site,while providing the best maneuverability and retaining a vegetative buffer at the rear of this parcel.The preferred layout retains an existing mature tree,preserves a portion of the 10 foot vegetative buffer,and requires variances.A trash enclosure is proposed.The project is in the CR 2 Zoning District.This is an Unlisted Action under the City of Ithaca Environmental Quality Review Ordinance (“CEQRO”)and the State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”),for which the Lead Agency made a Negative Determination of Environmental Significance on February 23,2016.The BZA granted the required Area Variances on March 1,2016. 10:30 Project:The Cherry Artspace Location:102 Cherry St. Applicant:Performance Premises,LLC/Samuel Buggeln Anticipated Board Action(s)in March:Declaration of Lead Agency &Public Hearing Project Description:The applicant proposes to construct a 1,944 SF building on the 5,402 SF project site. The site contains an existing 1,137 SF building (formerly Renovus Solar).The new building will have a galvanized corrugated steel exterior finish to harmonize with the existing building,and have a matte foundation with perimeter grade beams.A sidewalk will be provided along the entire parcel width,and 6.5’tree lawn and street trees in front of the existing building.(Space does not permit a tree lawn in front of the new building.)Parking will be provided on adjacent lot immediately to the south.The applicant is also proposing exterior patio in the rear of the building,landscaping,and signage.The project site is in an area currently under study for an Area Plan as a part of the Phase II of the Comprehensive Plan.Since this planning effort will likely result in changes in zoning requirements in this area,the City has rezoned the entire area to a Temporary Mandatory Planned Unit Development (TMPUD)Zone,until the Area Plan is complete.Therefore,the project sponsor has also applied to Common Council for a (TM)PUD.The project will require a permit from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC)for encroachment into the permanent easement along the Flood Control Channel.This is a Type 1 Action under the City of Ithaca Environmental Quality Review Ordinance (“CEQRO”),§176 4 B(1)(h)[2],and the State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”),§617.4(b)(11),and is subject to Environmental Review. “An Equal Opportunity Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification.” 3 of 3 10:45 Zoning Appeals #3017,Area Variance,416 418 E.State St. #3018,Area Variance,133 Giles St. #3019,Area Variance,102 Franklin St. #3022,Area Variance,108 110 Eddy St. 11:00 Adjournment cc:Mayor Svante Myrick &Common Council Dr.Luvelle Brown,Superintendent,ICSD Jay Franklin,Tompkins County Assessment ACCESSING ONLINE DOCUMENTS Site Plan Review &Subdivision Application Documents (&Related Materials) Site Plan Review application documents are accessible electronically via the “Document Center”on the City web site (www.cityofithaca.org/DocumentCenter),under “Planning & Development”>“Site Plan Review Project Applications,”and in the relevant year/month folder.Subdivision application materials can be similarly located,but in the “Subdivision Applications”folder.

From:Jeanne Grace Sent:Thursday,February 18,2016 1:07 PM To:Charles Pyott Subject:RE:Planning &Develop.Projects for Review/Comment Parking Lot Expansion 310 Taughnnock Blvd I am not in favor of granting this request,without some serious considerations. I think the excavation that is required to put in adequate drainage for the porous pavement will greatly harm the existing row or trees.and will result in the loss of more than one tree (as described in submitted plan) I don't know what the original bio retention area design was but it is currently has gravel fill and cars park on it,compacting the soil.It is not at all surprising that it doesn't drain properly.What attempts had been made to correct issues with the original bio retention design prior to the addition of gravel fill and allowing parking? The city lot across the street is never full and it is free from island fitness customers to park in,correct? There may not be parking space as close as customers would like but there seems to be ample parking space in that area for people visiting island fitness.Will these additional spaces closer to the building make more parking available for people with disabilities,or is this just more parking for able people who don't want to park across the street? If this request is granted I recommend the use of structural soil under the porous asphalt as the city did in the parking lot across the inlet (near the fitness trail head).The trees growing adjacent to the structural soil under the porous asphalt are doing much better that the trees near the porous asphalt with standard fill beneath. Cherry St Art Space Mentions street trees in the narratives,but did not show on the map. I am interested in know location and species that are being considered.

State Street (Ben Rosenblum) Appeal of Ben Rosenblum, owner of 416-418 E. State Street, for Area Variances from Section 325-8 Columns 5, 10, 12, and 13, Loading Space, Percentage of Lot Coverage, Side Yard, and Other Side Yard, requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The property at 416-418 E. State Street is a non-conforming structure in the East Hill Historic District. The applicant purposes to renovate the existing building at 416-418 E. State Street, now partially occupied. One apartment occupies the second floor; and a portion of the first floor is used as office space. In the past, the major portion of the first floor space was used as a printing plant and is now vacant. The applicant purposes to renovate this space and create additional office suites on the first floor. In order to convert the unoccupied space on the first floor to the new permitted uses, the applicant must obtain a variance for the loading space requirement and for several existing deficiencies pertaining to required lot coverage, side yard, and other side yard setbacks. The parking for the applicant’s proposal is met through a shared parking agreement with the adjacent neighbor at 408 E. State Street, but the proposed amount of office space for the building at 416-418 E. State Street requires one loading space on site. The only place to locate the required loading space is in the front yard of 416-418 E. State Street. However, meeting this requirement would conflict with the desires of Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission (ILPC) and its previous approval of the proposed site plan, because the loading space would require the removal of front yard plantings and green space. In addition, the property at 416-418 E. State Street has three existing deficiencies that require variances from the BZA. The property exceeds the 50% allowed percentage of lot coverage. The existing building’s lot coverage is 60%. The building also has a deficient side yard and other side yard setback. The side yard to the west of the building is 0.02 feet; required is 10 feet. The other side yard to the east of the building is 0.1 feet; required is 5 feet. The property at 416-418 E. State Street is in a B-4 Zoning District where the proposed office suites, and apartment space are permitted. However, Section 325-38 requires that variances be granted before a Building Permit is issued.

East State LLC phone: 917-693-6742 email: ben@benrosenblum.com February 16, 2016 Board of Zoning Appeals City of Ithaca 108 East Green Street Ithaca, NY 14850 RE: 416-418 East State Street— Application for Area Variances— Appeal # 3017 Dear City of Ithaca Board of Zoning Appeals: Enclosed please find the following documents as part of the application for area variances for the property with the existing building located at 416-418 E. State Street: Project Documents- a. Existing Site Survey b. Proposed Elevations c. Site Analysis Plan, sheet R1.01 d. Code Analysis Plan, sheet R1.00 The project will require the following variances, as graphically described on the Site Analysis Plan: 1)  Zoning Ordinance Section 325-8, A(10): Lot coverage by the existing building is 10% greater than the maximum (60% vs. 50%). 2)  Zoning Ordinance Section 325-8, A(12): Side yard setbacks are deficient for the existing building. 3)  Zoning Ordinance Section 325-21: The off-street loading zone for office space is not provided. Outside of the existing building, this lot contains exceedingly limited space. As a result, it is not possible to provide the off-street loading zone in addition to the ADA parking and a turnaround space, while maintaining existing green space in accordance with the ILPC and Planning Board requirements. The proposed renovation and re-development of the existing building at 416-418 E. State St. is for a mixed use building to include existing and expanded office space, one apartment, and unoccupied storage as an accessory use to the office spaces. The building will only receive minor alterations of exterior elements (see documentation). The existing front parking area will be modified to provide one handicapped space with unloading zone and associated required aisle. The exterior landscape will also provide a path of travel to accommodate an accessible ADA route into the building- See Site Analysis Plan. The existing building is a legal non-conforming structure previously occupied by a light industrial printing press and with a portion currently occupied by office space. The area used by the printing press will be converted to expand the office use and accessory storage, a lower intensity use than the former printing press. The second level portion of the structure, built in the early 1900s, is also being returned to its original use as a residence. All proposed uses are permitted as of right within the B-4 zoning district in which the building is located. The property currently has zoning deficiencies in relation to both side yard setbacks and lot coverage resulting from past development of the property with additions to the structure occurring from 1947 to 1967. In order to occupy the building with the office use that will replace the former light industrial use, the phone: 917-693-6742 email: ben@benrosenblum.com variances must be obtained to permit the zoning deficiencies. See the Site Analysis Plan for a graphic description of the zoning deficiencies. Variances for lot coverage and setback deficiencies: The existing lot coverage is minimally in excess of the zoning maximum. Likewise, the yard setbacks are also existing conditions. The deficiencies largely stem from the separate sale of the adjacent property at 408-410 E. State St., which had been owned together with the 416-418 E. State St. parcel by RHP Properties, Inc. until 1994. This separation of the ownership resulted in the lot coverage and the west yard setback deficiencies (+/-0.2 feet actual versus 10 feet required). The building at 416-418 E. State St. was expanded over the years with additions in 1947, 1951, and 1967. The 1947 addition was built on the east side of the original house and the east wall was built +/-3.7 feet from the property line at the front corner. The last addition in 1967 caused the lot coverage to exceed the 50% maximum allowed under the 1965 zoning law in effect at that time. However, the ownership of the adjacent parcel, 408-410 E. State St., is presumed to have been factored into the zoning compliance analysis at that time (lot coverage is not an issue if the parcels are combined). If that had not been the case, a building permit for the 1967 addition should not have been issued. Likewise, the lack of any west side yard reinforces the assumption that the zoning analysis in 1967 must have taken account of the combined parcels. Ultimately the legal effect of the Building Department permitting the 1967 addition to be constructed along with related parking improvements on the 408-410 E. State St. parcel is that the current nonconforming features of the existing building at 416-418 E. State St. were once legally conforming. It is only the separation of the two properties in 1994 that caused the zoning deficiencies to exist. There is a small entry roof causing a yard deficiency on the eastern side but this roof is presumed to have been built as part of the 1951 addition when the 1950 zoning law was in effect and did not require a side yard. The building setback on the east side is +/-3.7 feet at the front of the building versus the required 5 feet, except for the small entry roof that is essentially on the lot line (+/-0.1 feet actual versus 5 feet required). The east yard deficiency of the front building wall, approximately 17.5 feet of the entire 112-foot length of the east wall, is a pre-existing condition, as described above, to the current zoning law and only became non-conforming with the zoning change in the 1960’s, which is the first zoning law that required side yards. The date of construction of the small entry roof is unknown but may have been part of a 1951 building addition. The building setback on the west side (+/-0.2 feet) only affects the Argos property, and that owner is in support of this project. The adjacent parcels to the east of 416-418 E. State St. also have similar yard setback deficiencies. Variance for off-street loading zone: The project also seeks a variance for a 450 square-foot loading zone. The change from a light industrial printing press to the less intensive office use at 416-418 E. State St. will require a loading zone due to the business use area being over 3,000 square feet. The property was compromised when the Argos parcel was sold to a different owner. Presumably deliveries to the printing press were handled in the parking lot that now serves the Argos. The Argos property does not currently require a loading zone. Temporary loading and unloading for deliveries, if necessary, for the 416-418 E. State St. office space will be handled in the front parking zone of 416 E. State or at the adjacent Argos parking lot. The reason for seeking a variance for the loading zone is due to the lack of space at the front of the property to accommodate the building code-required ADA parking, a turnaround space, and maintaining existing green space in accordance with the requirements of the ILPC and the Planning phone: 917-693-6742 email: ben@benrosenblum.com Board. A large paved area for this loading zone in the front yard, which is the only available space on the lot, would be out of character with the historic district and would potentially also require removal of the three mature trees along the west side of the existing driveway. In summary, the variances are sought so that the existing building can be occupied with a less intensive use than the former printing press use. The alternative, to attempt to occupy the building with an actual printing press, continuing the non-conforming use, would be difficult to accomplish given that very few printing press businesses are in existence as a result of changes in modern printing technology. We also think that adding office space at this location near the center of downtown Ithaca would be an improvement for the neighborhood, while the light industrial use is out of taste with the neighborhood. The second level portion of the structure is also being returned to its original use as a residence. The deficiencies in this property result from additions made between 1947 to 1967 when these were legally conforming, and from the sale of the adjacent 408 East State Street property separately from 416-418 East State St. in 1994 to different ownership. The proposed changes to 416-418 East State St., by maintaining and improving the existing building, will keep intact the historic character of the property and emphasize a sustainable and low-energy approach, benefits both for the East Hill District and for Ithaca as a whole. We look forward to working with you and presenting the project at the next available BZA meeting.

Apr aOi eOtg Zoning Appeal #3018 133 Giles Street (Margaret Mikolay) Appeal of Margaret Mikolay, owner of 133 Giles Street, for Area Variances from Section 325-8, Columns 4, 6, 10, 11, 12, and 14/15, Parking, Lot Area, Percentage of Lot Coverage, Front Yard, Side Yard, and Rear Yard, respectively, requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant proposes to convert the single-family dwelling at 133 Giles Street into a two-family unit by modifying the existing basement space and its separate entrance into a legal dwelling unit. While this proposal will not change the building footprint, the lot at 133 Giles Street has a number of deficiencies. The four-bedroom house requires two parking spaces. The second dwelling unit requires one parking space. The property has one off-street parking space. The lot area is 2,570 SF. The required lot size for one- and two-family dwellings is 5,000 SF. Percentage of lot coverage is 39.8%; allowed percentage of lot coverage is 30%. The front yard encroaches 7.4 feet into Giles Street’s right-of way; the required front yard setback is 25 feet. The side yard is 0.5 feet; required is 5 feet. Finally, the rear yard is 3 feet; required is 20 feet. The property at 133 Giles Street is in an R-2a Zoning District, where two-family dwelling units are permitted. However, Section 325-38 requires that variances be granted before a Building Permit can be issued.

The applicant proposes to remove a 36-SF vestibule and build a 90-SF mudroom addition and entrance landing, at the north and west corner of the two-family unit. Access to the mudroom will be from the north front yard, facing Short Street where the applicant proposes new code-compliant landing and stairs. The addition of the mudroom and landing will increase lot coverage from 34% to 36.2%. The maximum allowed lot coverage is 35%. In addition, the north front yard, facing Short Street, has an existing front yard that is 7-feet deep. Required is a 10-foot front yard setback. The proposed new mudroom addition and stair landing will decrease the Short Street front yard setback to 2’11”. The two-family dwelling at 102 Franklin Street is a permitted use; however, Section 325- 38 requires that Zoning Variances be granted before a Building Permit can be issued.

Grey Court Apartments at 108-110 Eddy Street was constructed in 1909. No stables were available on the lot, so tenants used the carriage barns at 804 E. State Street (formerly 112 Blair Street) to stable their horses and buggies. When cars became the new means of transportation, the carriage barns were no longer needed and over time the property at 804 E. State Street turned into a parking lot. Up until 2011, when the current owner developed a parking area at 108-110 Eddy Street, Grey Court Apartments met its off- street parking requirement of 9 space at 804 E. State Street. But with only 5 parking spaces available for tenants at 108-110 Eddy Street, Grey Court’s owner must still provide 4 parking spaces at 804 E. State Street. Grey Court’s owner claims, since constructing the on-site parking at 108-110 Eddy Street, that tenant demand for parking spaces at 804 E. State Street has been minimal-to-non-existent over the past five years; and he is seeking a variance to reduce the required off-street parking for 108-110 Eddy Street from 9 parking spaces to 5 spaces. The property at 804 E. State Street is in a CR-2 Zoning District, which permits one- and two-family dwellings as-of-right and does not allow off-site parking. Nevertheless, off- street parking for Grey Court at 804 E. State Street is designated as a legal, non- conforming condition. Grey Court Apartments at 108-110 Eddy Street is in an R-3a Zoning District, where multiple dwellings are a permitted use and where off-street parking for the apartments is required by Zoning District Regulations. The property located at 108-110 Eddy Street has two existing deficiencies. A side yard having 4’6” of the required 5’ and the rear yard having 12’6” of the 20’ required by the Zoning Ordinance. However, Section 325-39 requires that a variance be granted before a Certificate of Compliance can be issued.
