Ithaca Town is in an approval mood lately, OK by me. From the Ithaca Journal:



Town approves Holochuck Homes plan

8:56 PM, Apr. 17, 2012

The 106-unit West Hill town home project was given final subdivision approval by the Town of Ithaca Planning B\board Tuesday night. The project calls for 106 town homes in a development with two entrances from Route 96.

The site is behind the Museum of the Earth between Route 96 and Route 89. The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation proposed acquiring most of the eastern portion of the property to go along with the development of the future Black Diamond Trail.
The vote for final subdivision approval comes about one year after the Planning Board met six times in as many weeks before granting the project preliminary subdivision approval. During those meetings, the board had project applicant Holochuck Homes LLC add affordable housing units and methods to reduce the traffic that could be generated.
The board put in place traffic mitigations, such as a requirement that homeowners pay for transit bus passes as part of their agreement to purchase a unit. In addition, the board required the applicant to offer 10 percent of the 106 units at the top of the price range that meets the Tompkins County affordable housing definition of median-income housing.
