ITHACA -- More residential development could be moving into the
Town of Ithaca.
The town's Planning Board Tuesday night approved two separate
subdivisions that would create six new residential lots on Elm
Street Extension on the west side of the town.
In another action, the board approved Cornell University's
request to divide and sell a 7.15-acre university-owned parcel just
north of Cornell's Lake Source Cooling plant. The parcel is zoned
for multiple residences.

Cornell does not need any more approvals from the town to sell
the 7.15-acre parcel of land it owns, but any plans for the
development of the site would require the Planning Board's approval,
Kanter said after the meeting.
Tom LiVigne, manager of operations for Cornell Real Estate, told
the board that the land it wants to sell was part of a 13.43-acre
parcel that Cornell acquired around 1995 for its Lake Source Cooling
project. Cornell has never had plans for the land, he said.
LiVigne said Cornell has a buyer for the land but he declined to
identify the person.
