Keuka Lake Watershed Land Use Leadership Training

A pilot program for the Finger Lakes

Good land use decisions – the stakes are high

How well does your community make decisions, often controversial, about land use? Does it come close to the ideal of decisions that are grounded in common sense, responsive to community needs and concerns, and informed by high levels of understanding of responsibilities and issues? Are decisions inclusive of a full range of relevant interest groups, transparent to participants and non-participants alike, and legally sound?

The stakes are high for good land use decision-making. Changing patterns of land use can have profound effects on the unique character, cherished qualities of life, environmental and economic assets, and even the long-term viability of the communities we live and work in.

Because of the central role land plays in shaping the identities and economies of rural communities, they are especially sen- sitive to the good quality land use decision-making. But all too often in rural as well as other places, controversy over land use issues leaves a legacy of community bitterness no matter what the final decision outcome.

Supporting local land use leaders

Increasingly, the forces driving land use change have become regional and even global, and certainly more complex. All too often, local decision makers are faced with difficult land use decisions with a lack of sufficient support and preparation.

Training can help. The New York State Legislature recognizes the importance of high quality land use decisions. In 2006, declaring that trained municipal planning and zoning officials are “essential to community health and vitality”, and ac- knowledging the availability of a good variety of training options, the legislature for the first time passed a law promoting annual training.

Cornell and Pace University collaboration: New high quality land use leadership training available

Over the past decade, more than 900 local land use leaders and their communities in eastern New York and Connecticut have benefited from a successful, first rate training program that has inspired improved land use decisions. Officially co- sponsored by one hundred municipalities, agencies and associations, well over 80% of participants have ranked the program as excellent or very good. Cornell and Pace Universities are now collaborating to make this highly regarded training available in other parts of New York State. In the Keuka Lake watershed, additional collaborators on the project will be Cor- nell Cooperative Extension, Keuka Lake Association, County Planning Departments and the Genesee Finger Lakes Re- gional Planning Council.

As developed by the Pace University Land Use Law Center, the Land Use Leadership Alliance Training Program builds ca- pacity for change among land use leaders at the local level. Tailored in each setting to local circumstances, it is designed to help local land use leaders learn practical strategies for natural resource conservation, development in appropriate locations, and effective decision-making. Most participants leave with a renewed sense of hope in their communities’ ability to deal with change.

Local leaders, whether elected, appointed, or otherwise active in local land use issues, are invited to participate in a four day program taught over several months. The course employs a mix of lectures, discussions and problem solving exer- cises. It emphasizes land use law and negotiation theory applied to community decision-making.

Key Benefits of Training

Key benefits for participants and their communities include:

• improved practical knowledge of New York’s land use laws

• strengthened leadership skills that build rather than undermine community when dealing with controversial land use issues

• experience-sharing and network-building among land use leaders in the region

• builds foundation for regional cooperation

• heightened awareness of opportunities to access technical assistance, and

• convenient, low cost (free?) locally tailored training

Keuka Lake Watershed Pilot Program

Keuka Lake is a tremendous natural and community asset, providing outstanding opportunities for recreation, tourism, agriculture and residential living. The lake provides clean drinking water to over 20,000 people, a lakeshore property tax base valued at $1 billion dollars, and an agri-tourism impact of $20 million per year. Fishing tourism is estimated to be worth $5 million per alone!

In the Keuka Lake watershed, municipalities are facing increasing development pressure along the lake and hillside areas. Uncontrolled and unmanaged growth or “sprawl” will not only diminish the character of the watershed so vital for tourism, it will also lead to a decline in water quality if not directed and controlled properly. With limited professional planning or engi- neering expertise on staff in many local towns and villages, these projects pose many challenges to municipalities with the complexity of the projects, potential impacts on the lake and issues raised by concerned neighbors.

Many towns are in the process of updating comprehensive plans, zoning codes, subdivision regulations and other supple- mental regulations such the Dock and Mooring Regulations in response to the growth in the area. While every effort made by individual towns to update and implement new policies is vital, the lesson learned by the KWIC program is “pollution does not abide by political boundaries” and uniform regulations and enforcement is a key to the long-term sustainability of the watershed. Fortunately, in the Keuka Lake watershed, municipalities have a long history of cooperation and collaboration in the area of watershed management, water level control and wastewater management through the KWIC and KLOC programs. These programs along with other county agency programs (agriculture and erosion control) over the years have improved management practices and overall quality of Keuka Lake as shown by water testing results.

This proposed new intensive land use training pilot program for the Keuka Lake Watershed is intended to improve the land use knowledge base and skills of volunteer board members, appointed officials, developers, and others interested and involved in land use issues. The training will also increase the collaboration, shared knowledge and experience of people on a watershed wide basis. Ultimately, the training is intended to lead to better land use decisions and management on a watershed-scale, thereby protecting and improving the quality and character of the Keuka Lake watershed.

OH DEER, OH DEER! CRITTER CORNER Deer/Vehicle Accidents - What to Do? by Dave deCalesta

Go off the road, or hit an on-coming vehicle and the accident is a collision and your insurance rates will go up.

• If you do have to use your brakes, don’t jam them but just try to slow down enough to miss the deer. Jamming on the brakes causes the nose of the car to dip down, increasing the chances of the deer coming through the windshield if you hit it.

• If you hit a deer, stop and check your car – you may have sustained enough damage to make driving hazard- ous. Check to make sure the wheels are straight and not flat, and that the fan is not jammed into the radiator. And leave the deer alone – you may be injured if you approach it or try to put it out of its misery. You are not required to report deer/car accidents but it’s a good idea. Call the local sheriff, they’ll know what to do.

Luckily, there was no one in the passenger seat in this accident. The deer jumped off an overpass.
