The issues included the loss of open space and escalation of local population due to an influx of new housing starts in the form of planned subdivisions, questions as to where capital resources should be expended to improve town infrastructure and recreational facilities, and concerns of rapidly increasing commercial developments in and near Peru. In short, the Town of Peru appeared to be on the verge of losing its small town character. The situation required a comprehensive review of current zoning and other land use regulations and establishment of long term goals for the entire town. The Town Council, realizing that they did not have sufficient resources and understanding of the many new and sometimes complex issues, sought to develop a comprehensive plan for how and where the town should grow. The Town of Peru Comprehensive Plan (the Plan) is a result of that research and planning effort. As this document would be important to determining the way Peru would grow, the first step of the process was the forming of the Peru Comprehensive Planning Committee (the Committee). It was announced that the Committee was forming and any individuals interested in attending and participating were welcome. The Committee consisted of 14 town residents and business persons. The following groups were represented on the committee: • Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals • Members of the Planning Board • Peru Code Enforcement Officer • Members of Peru Town Council • Clinton County Planning Office • Peru Business People • Educators • Farmers The Committee began meeting in early 2003 to develop a list of objectives for completing the Plan. Early in the process the Committee interviewed several consultants to provide technical support and assist the Committee in the process of developing the Plan. Nan Stolzenburg of Community Planning and Environmental Associates was selected based largely on her firm’s extensive experience in developing Comprehensive Plans for similar sized towns in New York and her excellent references. An overview of the various phases in developing the plan is provided below: • Obtain Public Input • Development of the Vision for Peru 2 TOWN OF PERU COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AUGUST 2006 • Development of Peru’s Goals and Objectives • Development of Action Items and Responsibilities Upon adoption of the Plan by the Town Board, the next step involves implementation of the strategies included in the Plan. Generally implementation will involve: • Revision to Peru Zoning Ordinances and other land use regulations to reflect these goals • Implementation of other initiatives as needed to ensure the vision is met • Review of the Plan every five years to ensure changes to Peru are consistent with the goals stated in the Plan • Updates to the Plan as needed to reflect current conditions and desires. Comprehensive Plan Implications A comprehensive plan is a written document that identifies the goals, objectives, principles, guidelines, policies, standards, and strategies for the growth and development of the community. It is designed to answer three critical questions: • Where are we now? • Where do we want to be? • How do we get there? It is not a law in itself, but state statutes require that all land use laws in a municipality be consistent with a comprehensive plan. The town is authorized to develop and adopt a comprehensive plan by New York State Town Law Section 272-a. New York State considers adoption of a comprehensive plan to be a critical tool to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the people of the town and to consider the needs of the people. A comprehensive plan is the policy foundation upon which communities are built. Once a comprehensive plan is adopted, there are several implications: • All government agencies involved in planning capital projects in Peru must consider this plan before they start any capital project. That means the town now has a much larger stake in what other governmental agencies want to do when they are proposing a project in town. • Community consensus and support can be built on the shared vision, goals, and strategies presented in the plan. • Programs and regulations may be adopted to implement the plan to protect the town’s resources and encourage desired development and growth. • Comprehensive plans are also important documents to help the town be successful in obtaining grant monies to implement items contained in the Plan. • In New York State, all land use regulations must be in accordance with a comprehensive plan (Section 272-a). The plan is the basis for regulatory programs. All land use laws should be reviewed, and updated where necessary to be in accordance with this plan. 3 TOWN OF PERU COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AUGUST 2006 Town Input and Data Collection The issues, goals and recommended strategies detailed in this comprehensive plan are based upon studies of data gathered about the Town of Peru, as well as from the input of many town residents. During the summer and fall of 2004, the Town of Peru surveyed its residents and businesses, and conducted planning workshops to hear opinions on town needs and people’s hopes for its future. Specific sources of information used to prepare this plan included: • Results from surveys sent to each residence in Peru • Community image survey • Farmer/agricultural focus group • Business focus group • Teen focus group • Community visioning workshops (two) • Public meetings and workshops (numerous) • Survey to gain input on draft vision and goals • Public hearings. Other studies and analyses were also conducted including: • Background studies of land use, including a build-out analysis • Population profiles • Existing housing conditions and availability • Community facilities • Transportation resources • Recreation and educational resources • Public safety programs • Environmental conditions of the town • Analysis of the regional growth patterns and trends that have affected, and will continue to affect the area’s growth. The information collected above was used throughout the development of the Plan. An analysis of Peru’s strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats was obtained from review of information collected and is presented in Appendix E. • Strengths are resources or capabilities that will help the Town fulfill its vision 4 TOWN OF PERU COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AUGUST 2006 • Weaknesses are deficiencies in resources and capabilities that will hinder Peru in fulfilling its vision • Opportunities are factors or situations that can affect the town favorably and can help us meet our goals • Threats or challenges are factors or situations that can affect Peru negatively and prevent the town from reaching its goals An analysis of these elements provides many valuable clues about potential effective strategies, since every successful strategy builds on strengths and takes advantage of opportunities, while it overcomes or minimizes the effects of weaknesses and threats. These elements, both positive and negative, have a powerful impact on community development. This information and other information contained in the Appendices to this document answers the “where are we now?” question. Vision for the Future Based on this analysis and results from the community image survey, focus groups, and results from town wide resident surveys, a vision for Peru was developed. The vision for the future of Peru was based on input from the people who live and work in this community. Although not every resident in the town of Peru has the same opinion on what Peru should look like in the future, there were many common themes that the majority of this community felt was important. The themes common to the residents of Peru were incorporated in the following Vision Statement. This Vision Statement answers the “where do we want to be” question. Peru’s Vision Statement The Town of Peru is a safe, attractive and welcoming community with a small town rural character. A charming but vibrant town center retains its historic features and provides conveniences valued by residents and visitors in a setting that is pedestrian friendly. A compact town center is balanced by a rural landscape that supports agricultural enterprises, scenic views, and important natural resources. Peru has a vibrant business climate that supports and encourages responsible business and job growth.

  • The United States Customs Boat Patrol on Lake Champlain During the Prohibition Era by A
    SUMMER 1980 VOL. 48, NO. 3 History The GFROCEEDINGS of the VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY "Before we could ovenake him, he had unloaded his contraband cargo. I can still picture him swerving sharply to the starboard and heading toward ... the New York shore." The United States Customs Boat Patrol on Lake Champlain During the Prohibition Era By A. BRADLEY SOULE, M.D. The Lake Champlain Boat Patrol, an arm of the United States Customs Service set up from 1924 until 1933 to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, the "Prohibition Amendment," worked to close the lake to illegal trans­ ponation of alcoholic beverages. Among the many books and anicles pub­ lished about prohibition and measures taken to enforce it, few discuss smuggling on Lake Champlain. One exception, Allan S. Everest's "Rum Across the Border: the Prohibition Era in Northern New York ," (New York, Syracuse University Press, 1978), recounts a number of rollicking smuggling episodes including several involving the Customs Patrol Boat. But Professor Everest did not know of many of the escapades of the Patrol found in my personal recollections and those of my friends and half hidden in old clippings from the St . Albans Messenger and the Burlington Free Press. 1 Effons to enforce the Volstead Act in Vermont and on Lake Cham­ plain were the responsibility of the United States Customs Service, District #2, with headquaners in the Federal Building on lower Kingman Street in St. Albans. Initially, they largely limited their activities to the inspection of vehicles at the border stations and of passengers and their luggage on railroads operating from Canada to the United States.

  • The Battle of Valcour Island: an American Navy on Lake Champlain
    THE BATTLE OF VALCOUR ISLAND: AN AMERICAN NAVY ON LAKE CHAMPLAIN After the devastating defeat of the American Northern Army at Quebec on the night of December 31, 1775, and its subsequent unsuccessful siege of the city resulting in the disastrous retreat from Canada in June of 1776, the Northern American Army was in disarray. The British Army was in control of Canada again and realized that the ranks of the American Army had been seriously depleted by a number of factors, including smallpox and sickness. They were determined to avenge the invasion of Canada by invading the American Colonies and, therefore, commenced to build a fleet of boats in order to sail down Lake Champlain to attack the Americans and split the colonies in two. Major General Philip Schuyler1 had been the commander of the Northern Army since the summer of 1775 and was aware of the necessity of defending the lake and the adjacent forts in the north from an attack by the British. As a result of political maneuvering, Major General Horatio Gates,2 a former British officer who had settled in America and had answered the call to arms after Lexington and Concord, was appointed by Congress in the summer of 1776 as commander of the Northern Army in Canada as a slap in the face to Schuyler. Throughout June and July, American scouting reports indicated that the British were beginning a major boatbuilding effort at St. Johns. Canada. Gates, who was serving in a position for which he had no previous experience, realized early on that he needed an officer with experience in sailing and shipbuilding, and that he had such a person in Brigadier General Benedict Arnold.3 Gates requested Arnold to head up the American boatbuilding response to the British and then to command the fleet.

In a cove adjacent to this island and at several other points farther up Lake Champlain in October, 1776, he expended his fleet, described as "a curious assortment of schooners, galleys and gondolas," in a delaying action, which thwarted a British bid to drive a wedge through the infant American nation. 1 After the battle Arnold and his English counterpart, Sir Guy Carleton, reported highlights to proper authorities, and versions of a few other participants in this bloody encounter became available to historians in the nineteenth century. But sources have remained sparse. 2 Recently, the discovery of the long lost diary of Pascal Charles Joseph De Angelis, a young seaman who served on one of Arnold's row-galleys, adds the tes- I.

  • Discovering Willsboro Bay
    Discovering Willsboro Bay Monday, July 9, 2004 – Port Kent, NY south to Willsboro Bay Distance: 12.5 miles Weather: Cloudy to start, light winds, then threatening clouds, Strong NW winds, temperature in low 79s Today is the day we discovered the west shore of Willsboro Bay! We’re not the first one’s to appreciate its incredible beauty, of course, but we did not know about it until we got there. Our experience from a kayak seemed particularly dramatic both because of the slow speed we traveled and how close we could get to the precipitous cliffs. We were so enthralled it prevented us from worrying about the weather-at least for a time. Now, weather can be a very boring subject, but this summer, it has been a constant factor. Sometimes, it has even been interesting. We have certainly been more aware of the weather than ever before in our lives. It may be enough of an introduction to say that we had scrubbed a possible trip the day before because of a forecast for winds and storms. That afternoon, I watched with a feeling of vindication for our joint decision and a little awe, as pea size and occasional quarter size hail banged against the windows driven by high winds. And once again I realized that, but for a lucky smart decision, we could have been out there in that storm. But, this day dawned cloudy with a forecast for later clearing to partial sun with a potential for afternoon showers but no storms. We were game but wary.
