PHILIP M. WHITE JR. My name is Philip White Jr. of R. D.
#5, Ithaca, New York. I have pur-
chased this house as of Friday. I
is in a pretty sad state of affairs
it has been run down, this is not
necessarily poor management or any-
thing, the owner has been ill and
don't know exactly how long. It h
six single rooms and three apartmen s
at the moment and I desire to con-
vert the six single rooms into two
II apartments one and two bedroom re-
spectively. I think it can be put
on a paying basis, I really don't
i care to run a rooming house downtown
!i Ithaca; I am of the feeling that the
apartment type business lends to a
little bit stabler clientele.
I
The existing situation for six rooms
and three living units requires
1,350 sq. ft. of lot size as five
apartments the requirements are
i, 10250 sq. ft. or 1,000 less.
j MR. KASPRZAK: Regarding nonconforming use, is the
proposal of converting the six rooms
to two apartments permitted in they
3 B-2 zone?
i
I
A. Yes - Multiple Dwelling. I think
in nonconforming they mean that it ��
is nonconforming to the lot size a
j it is now.
i
MR. KASPRZAK: Mr. Building Commissioner and Zoning
j Officer, it this correct?
i
COMMISSIONER JONES: Yes, a multiple residence is permit-
ted in a B-2 zone.

I� MR. KASPRZAK: How many parking spaces do you have
A. I have two parking spaces plus two
garages.
i
MR. KASPRZAK: Do you plan to do any outside re-
modeling or cleaning up or anything

!j MR. BORTZ; How large are the three apartments
II that now exist?
A, One of them is a two bedroom, one i*
a studio apartment, and the tither
is a one bedroom. It hasnt been i•
used as a rooming house or a touris#
I' operation for some time, I don't
really know how long he has been �!
sick
MR:. VAN MARTER: Is there anything that sets this
i; apart from the neighboring proper-
i
ties around there? !�
jH A. The fact that it is a very large
ii property square footage wise inssde �
it has a whole bunch of rooms does it
it quite well lend itself to this type `;
of conversion.
rl MR. KASPRZAK: Doyyou have any opportunity to buy
'I additional land to comply with the
ordinance? i!
!I
�j A, I have the first refusal on the ad-
i; 3acent house that the Lampmans also ;i
own, and that is the only way I
could have any expansion for lot si''e.
�I MR. KASPRZAK; If you bought that property, would 11
!I this ease the square footage requiro-
ments for the lot size .at all? I
' A. I'm not sure how that works. It
j would make additional lot size, but !
I don't know if the other house is
�( a nonconforming situation also,
THE CHAIR= When you get all done, what will `!
the five apartments be set up like? II
A, On the second:,floor, we will have
a two bedroom and two one bedroom;
on the first floor, a two bedroom
and a one bedroom.
