HomeMy WebLinkAboutEastern Heights and Skyvue 1972166 - 7 - August 7, 1972 VINAY AMBEGAOKAR - SUGAR BUSH LANE Zoning Officer Cowan reported that Mr. Ambegaokar, 5 Sugar Bush Lane, has a property at the end of Sugar Bush Lane which is off a turn - moo around. His home is considerably below the grade of this turn -around. It is not feasible forlhim to have a driveway and garage. He has re- quested a building permit for a carport on the grade of the turn- around. Mr. Cowan felt that the only feasible thing for Mr. Ambe- gaokar is to have a carport. This could be 5 feet from the circum- ference of the turnaround (legally). On assurance from Highway Super- intendent Morey that this would meet his requirements, Mr. Cowan stated he would issue a building permit to Mr. Ambegaokar. The Board con- curred. REQUEST FOR REFUND OF TAXES - CHARLES FOOTE This matter was tabled until more information could be obtained. AMENDMENT TO SEWER SURCHARGE ORDINANCE Motion by Supervisor Schwan; seconded by Councilman McElwee, RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hold a public hearing on September 11, 1972 at 6:00 p.m. to consider the advisa- bility of amending the sewer ordinance adopted on July 10, 1972, as follows: Paragraph (A) (2) (b) (1) is amended by adding another Paragraph (2) thereunder, as follows: "(2) In making an equitable determination as to the amount of the sewer surcharge in those cases where the property is not connec- ted to water, the Town Board o2 the Town Supervisor or such other +n person to whom this function is delegated shall be guided by such standards as may be established from time to time by the Town Board by resolution, regulation, law or ordinance." TOWN ROADS - EASTERN HEIGHTS DRIVE AND SKYVUE ROAD Motion by Supervisor Schwan; seconded by Councilman McElwee, RESOLVED, that the acceptance of portions of Eastern Heights Road and Skyvue Roads in the Eastern Heights Subdivision as Town roads be postponed. Unanimously carried. In connection with the acceptance of Town roads in general, Attorney Buyoucos stated that a number of years ago he had set out a proposal as to how Town roads are accepted. (He suggested that these pro- cedures be reviewed and a copy of same sent to all local attorneys.) He said no deed or letter in regard to the acceptance of a road should go directly to the Town Supervisor. It should go first to the Plan- ning Board; the Planning Board review it with the Highway Superin- tendent, and after they have set their conditions and requirements, it then should come to the Town Attorney to check the title, and then the Town Attorney will bring it to the Town Board for consideration. NO PARKING ORDINANCE Mar, Town Attorney Buyoucos suggested that the Planning Board should pre- pare a list of areas in the Town where it is felt a "no parking" zone should be established (street names, times, limitations, etc). When such information is available, an ordinance may be prepared for con- sideration, including all these areas, and should it become necessary from time to time to add other areas as "no parking" areas, the ordinance could be amended to include them. If such an ordinance is adopted, the County Superintendent of Highways could be designated to post the "no parking" regulations on County roads within the Town. The Planning Board will work up a list of "no parking" areas, and submit same to the Town Board.
