Town of Lansing City of Ithaca Village of Lansing Town of Ulysses Village of Cayuga Heights Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan Update August 2005 Introduction The Local Waterfront Revitalization Program: Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan was written primarily in 2002. Since that time, many of the recommendations of the Waterfront Plan have already been initiated. The purpose of this foreword is to acknowledge the efforts made by individuals, businesses, and municipalities in implementing the plan and to bring the reader up to date on just a few of these accomplishments. Progress in implementing the Waterfront Plan can be seen in large and small ways around the waterfront. Some of the progress in implementing the plan can be seen in: • the successful establishment of The Boatyard Grill a new restaurant at the northern tip of Inlet Island; • the development of the Ithaca Town Park at East Shore, including a pavilion and a popular fishing access; • continued improvements at Ithaca Farmers Market, including expanded hours of operation during the week; and • the adoption of revised land development regulations for property along the waterfront in the Towns of Lansing and Ithaca. Boating Regulations One of the five key issues identified in the Waterfront Plan was the need to “control noise from boats and enhance boater safety by strengthening and enforcing boating regulations.” The communities bordering the waterfront have done just that. They have all adopted regulations that govern the speed and hours of operation of watercraft on Cayuga Lake. Through the coordinated efforts of the towns and the city, noise concerns have been addressed. Cayuga Waterfront Trail The Cayuga Waterfront Trail was one of the more sweeping recommendations of the Waterfront Plan. Designed to expand the public’s access to the urban waterfront, the Cayuga Waterfront Trail will establish a physical connection among a variety of waterfront destinations and activities and will provide an important new recreation resource in the City of Ithaca. Substantial progress on developing the Trail has already been made. Phase I of the Cayuga Waterfront Trail has been open for over a year and is a very popular recreation resource in Cass Park. Phase II of the Waterfront Trail is nearing construction, and Phase III planning is well underway. More exciting, though, has been the range of support for this project. The Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce has taken the lead in moving this project forward, securing grant funding from The Park Foundation to coordinate the planning and construction of the trail. Grants from state and federal agencies have helped to fund construction of the Trail. However, the community, local residents and businesses, have provided a significant amount of funding for trail development. Watershed Management Efforts Phosphorus Reduction Project. The Waterfront Plan repeatedly talks about the central importance of the quality of water in Cayuga Lake to the success of waterfront development efforts. One of the threats to This update was not adopted as a part of the Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan. Foreword Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan the quality of water in Cayuga Lake is phosphorus; it is the limiting nutrient for algal growth. NYSDEC has adopted a phosphorus guidance value that is occasionally exceeded in the southern end of the lake. There is strong evidence that these elevated concentrations reflect sediment-borne phosphorus from tributaries as well as dissolved phosphorus in the discharges from the two wastewater treatment plants. Several intermunicipal efforts are underway to help address this issue, including upgrades at the two wastewater treatment facilities, an extension of sewer service northward from the Village of Lansing, and plans for emergency treatment of wastewater overflows. Once fully implemented, these efforts are expected to result in significant reductions in phosphorus in Cayuga Lake and associated reduction in algal blooms. Streambank Protection. The Waterfront Plan identifies sedimentation as the most significant water quality impairment issue in Cayuga Lake, and streambank erosion as the most important source of that sedimentation. As a result, the Plan identifies streambank erosion control as a high priority recommendation for watershed management. The Town of Ithaca is developing a stream setback ordinance to improve water quality within and reduce streambank erosion along its streams. The Town of Dryden is also currently investigating similar streambank protection mechanisms. Stormwater Management Plans. These and other non-regulatory streambank protection efforts have also been incorporated into stormwater management plans for the ten governmental entities in Tompkins County that are affected by the Phase II stormwater regulations. These plans are required of the affected entities to obtain State Pollution Discharge Elimination System permits to discharge stormwater to the waters of the United States. List of Impaired Water Bodies. In 2002, the southern end of Cayuga Lake was included on NYSDEC’s 303 (d) list of impaired water bodies. The area affected by this designation is south of McKinney’s Point, which corresponds to the Class A waters with a best designated use for water supply (see page 7 of the Waterfront Plan). Inclusion of the southern end of Cayuga Lake on this list requires the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load allocation. This allocation will help determine the total amounts of phosphorous and sediment the southern end of Cayuga Lake can assimilate without further deteriorating water quality. This update was not adopted as a part of the Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan. Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan Executive Summary Introduction In January of 1997 the Tompkins County Waterfront Plan was completed. The Plan was a joint effort of the County, City of Ithaca, Town of Ithaca, County Chamber of Commerce, and Cornell University to create a vision for the waterfront and identify projects to achieve the following goals: 1. Increase public access to the waterfront and improve waterfront parks. 2. Improve boating facilities and operations; and 3. Encourage appropriate economic development, including tourism. Through a series of public workshops, thirty projects were identified along with numerous implementation strategies to ensure that critical projects were pursued and, where feasible, implemented. One of the implementation strategies identified was to prepare a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP). The Local Waterfront Revitalization Program is administered by the NYS Department of State and provides participating communities more leverage in acquiring state and federal funds for implementing waterfront projects. Six waterfront municipalities in Tompkins County are participating in the LWRP: City of Ithaca; Villages of Cayuga Heights and Lansing; and Towns of Ithaca, Lansing, and Ulysses. The City of Ithaca, on behalf of all waterfront communities, received a grant from the Department of State in 1998 to complete the LWRP. A consultant team consisting of Trowbridge & Wolf Landscape Architects and PERC (Planning and Environmental Research Consultants) was hired, along with the Tompkins County Planning Department, to staff the project. The preparation of the LWRP has been underway for nearly three years. A Planning Committee comprised primarily of municipal, county, and state staff professionals has met at least a dozen times. A Steering Committee comprised of elected officials from waterfront municipalities and county government has met three times. Focus groups and three public workshops were conducted to gather information and present draft proposals for review. Drafts of the plan were circulated to all Planning and Steering Committee members and to the Department of State. This final draft incorporates, as appropriate, their comments. During the past two years, much progress has been made on the projects and initiatives described in the LWRP. This reflects the excitement and energy that individuals, organizations, and all levels of government are bringing to bear on improving Tompkins County’s waterfront. The federal government’s Canal Corridor Initiative has assisted in the opening of two waterfront restaurants in the Inlet Island area. New York State and the City of Ithaca together have committed hundreds of thousands of dollars towards the construction of the Cayuga Waterfront Trail and the Inlet Island Promenade. The Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce received $55,000 from the Park Foundation for the Cayuga Waterfront Trail Initiative and plans to raise $200,000 from the Ithaca community to construct the trail. Tompkins County has developed plans to relocate the NYS Department of Transportation’s maintenance facility from a six- acre parcel of prime waterfront land, opening up this area for water-dependent or water-enhanced development in the near future. The text for the LWRP was prepared in 2002. i Executive Summary Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan Study Area The Waterfront Revitalization Area (WRA) is approximately thirty-nine square miles and includes lands and waters in the Towns
