September 25, 2023
TB Resolution 2023-155 : Approval of and authorization to execute a Permanent Water and Access Easement and ROW associated with water service for TP 42-1-9.63
Whereas, the owner of a vacant parcel known as tax parcel 42-1-9.63 (an unaddressed parcel located southerly of Watertower Rd) seeks to install a potable water service to the parcel,
and
Whereas, an existing Town of Ithaca water main is installed beneath Watertower Rd, a private road located on property owned by Ithaca College, and
Whereas, the water main is located within an existing easement that is not of sufficient width to provide access to the water main from the vacant parcel, and
Whereas, the potable water service and associated easement is shown on the drawing titled “Easement Map, Showing Proposed Easement for, Sanitary Sewer and Water Services, Watertower
Rd”, dated 2/1/2023, prepared by Darrin Brock, L.S., of T.G Miller, P.C., and
Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by the Town Board that
execution of the easement is a Type II Action because the Action constitutes "extension of utility distribution facilities, including gas, electric, telephone, cable, water and sewer
connections to render service in approved subdivisions," and thus approval, construction and implementation of the Improvement are not subject to review under SEQRA
Whereas, the Engineering Department has reviewed the plan for the above improvement that is proposed to be dedicated to the Town, and have found them generally acceptable, and request
the easement be executed by the Town Board, now therefore be it
Resolved, that the Town Board approves the Permanent Water and Access Easement and Right-of Way from Ithaca College to Town of Ithaca, and authorizes the Town Supervisor to execute the
easement, subject to review by the Attorney for the Town.
