It was made possible through the efforts of: Somerset Planning Board Jon L. Hotaling Brian L. Carmer Chris Czelusta Gary W. Few James C. Hoffman Norman Jansen Somerset Town Council Daniel M. Engert - Supervisor Randall J. Wayner - Councilman Gary R. Alt - Councilman Robin R. Jansen - Councilwoman Jeffrey M. Dewart - Councilman Special Thanks for Their Valuable Contributions Morgan Jones – Town Counsel Rebecca A. Connolly, MMC/RMC – Town Clerk Project Consultants Andrew C. Reilly, PE, AICP – WENDEL Ellen L. Parker, AICP – WENDEL And the Citizens and Public Officials of the Town of Somerset TOWN OF SOMERSET COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE SECTION I INTRODUCTION Somerset prepared its first Comprehensive Plan for the Town in 1972. In 2003, the Town adopted an Update to the Comprehensive Plan that incorporated previous planning efforts while integrating more current planning concepts. The 2003 document was useful for the Town for nearly a decade. However, in recent years, a number of changes to the community necessitated a fresh look at planning for the Town. One of the most critical issues was the bankruptcy of the AES Somerset power plant in 2012. The power plant is the largest tax payer in the Town and County, as well as a major source of employment and economic development for the region. This update refines the 2003 plan, while addressing new issues, such as economic development, that are important to the Town. This revised Comprehensive Plan provides general direction to guide future growth and development in the Town of Somerset. It provides an update of information and data affecting the Town of Somerset. The effort of preparing this update entailed a hard look at the Town’s goals and objectives, and the goals have been modified, including the addition of a new goal addressing economic development. The revised Comprehensive Plan should be viewed as a summary of the policies and priorities of the people of the community at this time to help guide decision-making, especially regarding land use in the Town. This document is a guidebook for achieving the community's visions. It provides a variety of tools and options that can be used immediately or in the future. Implementation of the revised comprehensive plan is the responsibility of elected officials and appointed boards serving the Town of Somerset. The Implementation Section provides a range of recommended actions that the Town could undertake, including zoning and other land use codes; capital improvements; economic development activities and other actions. PURPOSES OF PLANNING A comprehensive plan carefully assesses strengths and opportunities inherent in the community in order to develop a rational basis for proposed policies, codes and other activities. In New York State, the right to zone land is premised on having a comprehensive plan for the community. Land development is strongly influenced by zoning, public investment, and availability of infrastructure and transportation access. A comprehensive plan addresses all of these issues. In order to develop a meaningful and useful comprehensive plan, many sources of background information must be provided. This strong basis in data helps local legislative and administrative boards determine where growth should take place and how it should be phased. These background elements comprise an updated inventory of planning data and mapping of various features, followed by careful analysis of trends and issues. Based upon the findings of these basic elements, along with significant input from Town residents, goals and objectives are developed to guide future development. Then specific recommendations

  • Appendices Section
    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.

  • Conservation Plan for Grassland Birds in New York
    A Plan for Conserving Grassland Birds in New York: Final Report to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation under contract #C005137 Michael Morgan and Michael Burger Audubon New York 10 June 2008 Audubon New York 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd. Ithaca, NY 14850 (607) 254-2487 or [email protected] 1 Support The funding for the planning process and the creation of this document, which describes the foundation for grassland bird conservation in New York and provides direction for future efforts, has been provided by a contract from the Department of Environmental Conservation (C005137). Funds for the contract originated as a Tier 1 grant from the USFWS State Wildlife Grants Program. Many partnering agencies are contributing to the coordinated grassland bird conservation effort in New York, and are listed as partners in this plan. The following individuals have either contributed to the development of various components of the plan, or supported its development through review of draft materials or participation in discussions, and this support is greatly appreciated. Thanks to Jeff Bolsinger, Chris Dobony, Peter Gibbs, Mitch Hartley, Paul Hess, Sheila Hess, Tom Jasikoff, Heidi Kennedy, Chris Lajewski, Mike Murphy, Paul Novak, Dave Odell, Ray Perry, Tim Post, Marcelo del Puerto, Chris Reidy, Ron Rohrbaugh, Ken Rosenberg, Paul Salon, Carl Schwartz, Shanna Shaw, Gerry Smith, Bryan Swift, Mike Townsend, and Maiken Winter, among others. Our apologies to anyone that we’ve failed to mention. 2 Executive Summary • Grassland birds have been declining faster than any other habitat-species suite in the northeastern United States. The primary cause of these declines is abandonment of agricultural lands, causing habitat loss due to reversion to later successional stages or due to sprawl development.
