ILPC approves carport, retaining wall and driveway reconfiguration at 110 Triphammer Road with conditions
Summary
The Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for a carport, new retaining wall and a reconfigured driveway at 110 Triphammer Road in the Cornell Heights Historic District, imposing conditions intended to limit front‑yard parking and protect neighborhood character.
The Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission on June 17 approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for work at 110 Triphammer Road in the Cornell Heights Historic District authorizing construction of a carport, replacement of a retaining wall and an expanded/reconfigured driveway, with conditions that include a minimum 6‑inch curb, staff approval of retaining‑wall material and required substantial plantings in the interior island.
The commission’s conditions aim to limit the risk that the new turnaround and additional paved area would be used as long‑term front‑yard parking, a repeated concern during the meeting. Commissioners and staff stressed that landscape mitigation and construction details must be submitted for staff review before final permits are issued.
