Good morning, all,
I'm prepping for our meeting next week and wanted to share information about the Town of Ithaca Inlet
Valley Overlay Zone. Since the project appears to be located within the Inlet Valley Transition (IV-T)
overlay zone, I hope these materials give your team an opportunity to review the applicable
requirements in advance.
Below are links to the Inlet Valley Overlay District (IVOD) map, the economic feasibility study, and the
Town code section.
Map
Economic Feasibility Study
Town Code section
Notably, the IVOD applies land use and design standards to the lands along Elmira Road (NY-13),
including standards for site and building design, landscaping, screening, parking, and signage. These
standards are detailed in Town Code § 270-171.6 Design standards and guidelines.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions as you review these materials, or bring them to
our meeting next week. Our team will be prepared to answer questions and provide feedback on your
conceptual plans.
All the best,
Nick Quilty-Koval

Thank you Ed, Brian, and all for setting this up!
One correction I would like to make: we are Local 81 Plumbers and Pipefitters Union, not the
Electricians.
I am available and will be able to attend.
Have a great evening.

Hi Ed,
Unfortunately, Wednesday mornings are typically reserved for a management team meeting for
director-level staff (Marty, Justin, and C.J.). That said, I'd be happy to meet with your team that day
to field questions and then follow up with the directors from each Town department (Codes,
Engineering, and Planning).
If you'd prefer to meet with me and the department directors, we are available during the following
dates and times:
Monday, June 22, from 1:00 - 2:00 PM
Tuesday, June 23, from 1:00 - 2:00 PM
Thursday, June 25, from 1:00 - 2:00 PM
Please let me know if any of these times work for you and your team.
Thank you,
Nick

Thanks for sending along. I will review. I worked with Nick at one of his previous positions, so we

Hi Edward,
Attached is the most recent (12/23/2025) correspondence I am aware of relative to this project;
though you may have already received it, I've attached it here just in case, as the details therein are
still relevant. Of course, we are happy to meet with you to discuss the project prior to any formal
submission.
I've copied in Town Planner @Nick Quilty-Koval, as he will be the point person for this project; he is
on vacation this week, but I know he will be available to arrange a meeting with you shortly after his
return the week of May 26th. He can be contacted here via email or direct at (607) 882-2685.
Thanks much,
C.J.

Edward,
I am familiar with the project. Could you please share your target date for the meeting? If you can
provide a range of possible dates, I will follow up with available times.
I also recommend including CJ Randall (Director of Planning) and Justin McNeal (Senior Civil

Good Morning Marty,
I am working with the Electrician's Union on a new training facility at 919 Elmira Road. I believe that
they have spoken to you about this project already. The project consists of 30,000+/- square foot
building, 80 car parking lot, service area, outdoor training areas and miscellaneous site
improvements. We wanted to see if we could schedule a meeting to review the current site plan
drawings to see if the Town could provide some comments on the plan that could be incorporated
into the Planning Board submission set. We could either meet in person or via teams.
