SPECIAL Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Zoning Appeals of the Town of Danby will hold a special meeting on Monday, September 28, 2026 at 6:00 PM at the Danby Town Hall, 1830 Danby Road, Ithaca, NY 14850.  The meeting can also be accessed via Zoom.  The virtual meeting link will be posted on the Town’s official website at danby.ny.gov prior to the meeting.

The purpose of the special meeting is to review all materials and begin deliberations regarding an Interpretation Appeal filed by the West King/Yaple Neighbor Coalition. The appellant is appealing the Zoning Determination Letter dated July 23, 2026, which determined that hosting live music events at South Hill Cider (a farm cidery located at 550 Sandbank Road, Ithaca, NY, Tax Parcel ID 1.-1-3.32) as a means to attract customers, free with no admission charge, during the evening hours between 5:00 pm and 8:30 pm, and which would not generate sound levels exceeding average ambient sound levels (60 dbC during the daytime hours and 50 dbC during the nighttime hours) at the property line, constitutes a permitted agricultural use within the Rural 1 Zoning District.

The application and all associated documentation are available for public inspection on the town’s website or at the Town Clerk’s Office during regular business hours of 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday, except holidays.  For further information, please contact the Town Clerk’s Office at 607-277-4788.

Town of Danby
