THE CHAIR# The next case is Number 740, the Appeal of Gerald P.
5chiekol of 821 Henshaw Road, Cayuga HeiShts, Now York,
for an exception to requirement of width at street line,
adjacent to 125 Sunrise Read under provision of Section
7, Column 8 In an R_1 district,
Who is appearing?
MATTHEW F#- hist UGHt Mr. Chairman, Dies and Gentlemen,. my name is Matthew
McHugh and I represent Mr, and Mrs. Gerald P. Schick*l
at my left. I will first file with you our Cerrtifiaate
of Mailing, Mr, and Mrs. Sehlakel have applied for an
exception with respect-deo a parol of property which they
recently contracted to purchase from Mrs, Elisabeth
Mordorff on West Hills who has appioximatEely three or
four &or" of land, !6n that land at present site her
residence and an old barn, Mr, and Mrs. Schickel have
been searching for some time for a barn which they could
convert into a private home, and *one upon this and it
Is apparently tune of the fetor they have seen to fit the
bill. This parcel is approximately nin*-tenths of an
mare on West Hill and they have contracted to purchase.
I have a sketch attached to the application for your
convenience* The problem so far ss the ZonluX Ordinanoe#
Is that the location of this parcel to such that it has
only 20 feet of frontage on a public stroet. Moe,
Morderff's property site at the intersection of Westfield
Road and Sunrise Road, There is no way under present
conditions to the giving of any more frontage to that
parcel of- land, We fool that an exception in this ease
Mould be reasonable. As I say, there is this old barn
In a residential arta, which is a growing area, and the
Sehicekels intend to put approximately $200,000 into this
barn and convert this into a more attractive private h .
Mrs. Mordorff is anxious to have this theros and we have
• sent notices to all of the neighbors, I might indicate
here that the Subdivision Law in our City is worded in .
such a way that any sale of a part of a piece of lab d
creates a subdivision* We gent before the Hoard and
asked them to waive this and they agreed to ds this,
While there we also asked thou to consider their rosetiot
to an *xception, and I_ would like to indicate to you by
this letter that they also unanimously indicated they
would have no objection to this exception, This is an
R•1 district and the Zoning Ordinance requires 75 feet avd we
have only 20 fact,
DR. BALDINIt Do they pian on putting a driveway in than 20 feet?
A, Yes, back to Mrrs# Mordorfffs residence. She haus given
hl
right to use that small part of herr driveway which
Q. i miplate a garage?
MR. SCHICKELa There would be a garage in the basoment.
MR.I MdWORs We think It would certainly eubanso the neighbertosd.
I bellove that %be Board Us *oc*IVed a letter, Ped"M
am* we would like to read It.
THE CHAIRt This loftier is addressed to se as Chairman of the Board
of Zooming Appeals and I shall read it at this timet
(Reads)I "Dear Sits
I had fully intended to atteW tonight*s seet04 but a
last sinut* aammittmont mato this impossible.
In the matter of the requested exception by Gerald R.
SeRhiskool I foot a more complet* oxmination should be
mads of the final location of Sunrise Read before such
an exception is S anted. Sunrise Road should„ in the
futureie be a major West Hill Stroot. The snap grades
extsting in the area in question# I feel, make the exact
location of Suartse Road a matter of utmost Isportanoe
to the future of the West Hill Street syst+s.
I have abselutoly no objection to We Se hieakol fs project
of converting the barn to a residence* I den fool the
location of Sunrise Re" should be definitely astablishai
by sound ongineering before it Is limited by the estab-
lishment of this lot.
This is signed *John A. Dou$wrty'
405 Warren P laso
Itheca, Now York"
MR. MOUGHs As to what he is raying, I think there has been talk for
bears of there being a reseed, extending Sunriso Road
&or*" the Mordertf land to the Upper West Hill de olopw
menti, and that the moot location has newer been doter•
sined„ to cry knowledge. 'Thar* is not even a road there
at prosent. What be Is suggesting is that we postpone
any sale of Moerderlf presisaa, in any way, until this
_ detersinatiom is mad** 1 des not think that is re"ema'b1
Be is asking Mrs. Mordorff not to sell any of her land.
The City does not own that land and I hero WVI&Iftoed to
Mer, and Mars. Seethieololt*l that if the City wish*$ to put a
road across thoro# they have, a rI&M to purchase the land
and a ampensato the owner, This is the reoerdy the City
has. I think it unreasonable to told everything in *bey
arm until the City makes this determination. I do not
think the City should hold up an exception because that*
"may be a goad going thorough there same day".
MSR. PFANNs Was this problem taken up with the Planning Board?
A. Yes, I %hink it was mentioned but not In detail because
there was nothing definitive to talk about.
MR. PTANNS To the best of your k owleedgeg their xeroroismmmertrdaltSan too
wat mentioned?
A. Us# but notching in dertails aid I ai&mt say that Mir.
ttoughert y0o letter was not before the Board at that tsire.
Where the City needs a read should not bead up saloes
awaiting that determination.
MR BENTKOVSKI t Mr. Seihlesbuel, is this to be a rental properrty?
MR. SCHICRELt No# our son home We would be time *oempants•
THE CHAIR t Is there any one to speak in favor?
MILS. JOBSPp L. HAMILTON s 102 ft"taut Sttreeet.
I would luta to say that it is a nist&M if you say that
the frontage would be on Westfield Beads that the addrest
should be SuWiswe, rather tbom Westfield. This will go►
to the eesmter of Sunrise. I would lilts to stray it vould
benefit the apysaranee and value of etbor properties in
the arca„ and when the subdivision is opoemsad# would ons-
banes It in having a herefore there, whiah is fairly modern.
The other aide of the street is R-2p aewe we are interow�-
turd its ieeeping these raw homes in this area of this
aahaerseter.. Ties lett is going to be of the serest eventual Ly,
Mrs. Mordsrff is going to give extra land to offset %Me
was givren to tbs. tenants breis. I knew that the bee!Idem
wish to start imadiately nand It the exception is mot
given Imre may So sotffine ether plaetee. I know that Mteoc.
Morderff originally was pig to taselm the barn dswn but
hesitated to do nom so *ler" to another koffeif. It has
guest been standing theme with nothing dome to it, Lean ly
I think it will go on the tam rolls for in rressied taMetees.
THE CRAIRt Is any epee else in favor or its opposition?
MR. WEAVER# The Planning Board mermerandu m aeaiaes reference to a street
rerrsteamrplat#ad
M. BAMILTONs I mum an the Planning Board and sat at tits mrtang am
there was talk to ase If Sunrise will be legally a osopted
by the City, mW it is nover sertepteed until it is turned
over to the derweleper. This is why Mrs. Mos torff said
she would give the extra land# to allow ttbs rtaeAdp to ger
In at the saw angle.
MR. Me tgit There has been a disoustion of a read through Must. Morddre Ifwe
land. At the aetmfee time they dooided approximately ire
that would to but there has rover been a determinations
sae to wbwrty it would go. At sun point somebody drew it on
a map, but again, it is just a sontannplated road and is
very indefiAite.

THE CHAIRS The next case is No. 791, the Appeal of Edith B. Morgan
of 449 Columbia Streets Ithaca# Now York, for a variance
for use as Real Estate office at 425 North Cayuga Street*
under provision of Section 7, Column 29 in an R.3 distri
Who is appearing?
ESTHER MARTINs I an acting as agent for Edith Morgan and here in a dual
role as the one who would like to put the real *stats
office into effoet. I will file the Cortifiscate of
Mailing and lesme the purchase offer with you*
Appellant's Exhibit to marked for identification
This is the purchase offer which is contingent on the
granting of the variance. We are asking for a variance
In an Rw3 ssoning* for the office# on the feasts this will
be in obaraeter; a real estate office would be its eharao•
ter with the neighborhood. Also, with esenesRo hardship
on the part of Mrs* Morgant she bought the property ortgi
naily, with the intent to So therm to itv* after their
rettrement. Her plans have now ehanged and they will be
leaving Ithaca, There is a higbest and beset use for a
piece of pr*porty in selling Its and as an Investment I
have Sarre flguret Derr. These three apairtmeno do not
make an adequate Investment nor returna, On her coat
expenses last years Outgo, Upkeep* Utilitiesc Tows
$3480.23
with an tncome of $3960, a net return of $ 479917
and etre is getting just about sx on the tnvestment.

CULLEN MOOREs 114 Morrie{ heights. I was concerned about the type of
sign being us*d, and I nese it is already on the building:
and as for as I an concerned# was if it is a noon type
of light. So as far as I an concerned the type of sign
° used Is all right with mo, as fair as residential moos.
This would not deter from the area as would a big neon
sign.
MR. CLAPP s Noo this sign is not illuminated. I gust used the TOW04
sign for Lincoln Mercury International.
