This operating agreement has been retired by mutual consent of the parties, effective December 31, 2014. The County has elected to resume responsibility for course maintenance after that date and is seeking an operator to manage and provide services customarily associated with a public golf course, including but not limited to: selling permits; collecting greens fees; scheduling tee times; providing marshaling and starting services; providing diverse golf programs and lessons; administering and scheduling leagues; providing handicapping services; organizing tournaments; purchasing inventory and selling pro-shop merchandise; providing range balls and maintaining driving range facilities and equipment (but not including turf maintenance); providing and maintaining rental golf power carts and hand carts; providing snack bar services; and, carrying out a course marketing program.

Combined, the golf courses play host annually to approximately 54,000 9-hole rounds and 32,000 18-hole rounds (3-year average, 2011-2013). The golf season in the Greater Rochester/Finger Lakes area of New York State typically runs from mid-April to early-November. The three (3) courses are described, as follows: 1. Churchville Golf Course is located in the western portion of Monroe County, and consists of one (1) 18-hole golf course and one (1) 9-hole golf course.

  • Section IV 1 Section IV Proposed Land and Water Uses And
    City of Rochester Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Amendment Section IV Proposed Land and Water Uses and Proposed Projects Introduction The policies of the City of Rochester's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) were developed into a cohesive, physical plan for the city's waterfront area through the identification of appropriate land uses and projects for the various subareas within the LWRP boundary. These land uses and projects, in turn, reflect and implement the city's policy goals and statements for the waterfront area as outlined in Section III Policies. The process of developing appropriate land uses and projects included the identification of general land use subareas, assessment of the city's land use needs, and consideration of the development potential and constraints of major waterfront sites within the LWRP boundary. In addition, the city evaluated the proposed land uses and projects against the applicable policy goals and statements, in order to ensure that the land use plan was consistent with those policy objectives. A citizen's advisory committee (CAC) was formed to aid city staff in the preparation of development objectives and specific recommendations of the land use plan. Identification of LWRP Subareas In order to determine the types of land uses and projects which represented the most appropriate use of the city's waterfront resources, the area within the LWRP boundary was divided into 6 subareas. These subareas include: Subarea A-Durand-Eastman Park Subarea B-Open Space / Critical Environmental Areas Subarea C1-Developed portion of the Upland Area Subarea C2 -Buildable portion of the Upland Area Subarea D -River Harbor Zone and Lakefront Area Subarea E-Industrial Areas Each subarea was further divided into subzones which are shown on Map IV-1.

  • EARLY ALMANACS of Rochester
    Edited by DEXTER PERKINS, City Historian and BLAKE MCKELVEY, Assistant City Historian VOL. III JANUARY, 1941 No. 1 EARLY ALMANACS OF RoCHESTER By BLAKE MCKELVEY Almanacs were already many centuries old when first they came to Rochester, and yet so sensitive was their adaptability that they quickly took on the spirit and character of the Genesee Country. Brought as they were at first by the several streams of settlers who converged in this valley, the first local almanacs inherited something of the character of many of their earlier American predecessors; but within three decades following the appearance of its first almanac in 1820, Rochester was to make some noteworthy contributions in this field. Almanacs had appeared annually for upwards of a hundred years before the first was issued here. Probably the first to appear in the Colonies was that of Stephen Day, issued in Cambridge in 1639, three years after the founding of Harvard, but its traditional rules for forecasting English weather doubtless proved of little use on this side of the Atlantic. Numerous successorsfollowed, the best of which was the Astronomical Diary, issued by Dr. Nathaniel Ames between 1728 and 1765, for the doctor’s careful mathematical calculations and generous political sentiments set a high standard. Poor Richard's Almanac made its bow in Philadelphia in 1732, and soon Franklin’s rustic wit and salty proverbs provided a new pattern for almanac makers. It was a New England schoolmaster, R. B. Thomas, who issued the first Farmers' Almanac at Boston in 1792, and quite possibly many of his annual horticultural suggestions, borrowed in part from Cato the Elder’s De Agricultura or De Re Rustica, found their way to the Gen- esee, carried here by early settlers or pedlers from Yankeeland.
