  • Considerations for Rezoning on Lakes
    STATE OF MAINE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, CONSERVATION & FORESTRY LAND USE PLANNING COMMISSION 22 STATE HOUSE STATION WALTER E. WHITCOMB PAUL R. LEPAGE AUGUSTA, MAINE 04333-0022 COMMISSIONER GOVERNOR NICHOLAS D. LIVESAY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Memorandum To: LUPC Commissioners From: Samantha Horn, Planning Manager Ben Godsoe, Senior Planner Date: October 5, 2018 Re: Considerations for Rezoning Near Lakes, Staff Analysis Lake resources are important to Maine’s character, environment and economy. Healthy lakes are a strong draw for local residents and visitors alike, and play a critical role in sustaining fish and wildlife populations. When the Commission considers the location of future subdivisions, it is important to be deliberate about which lakes may be near new zones for subdivisions. The May 2018 draft of rule revisions for adjacency included a proposal that any new zones for waterfront subdivision should be either 1) on a lake or pond that is within a certain distance of services (i.e., within primary or secondary locations); or 2) on a lake or pond that is already developed. Outside of primary or secondary locations, lakes under the proposed revisions that could be eligible for rezoning include management class 3, 4, and 5 lakes, as well as certain class 7 lakes. During the public hearing on the draft rule revisions, commenters raised concerns that there was not sufficient information available to tell which or how many class 7 lakes qualify as having sufficient development to make them potentially be eligible for rezoning. Without this information, commenters raised concerns that a large number of lakes could possibly be “open for development.” Commenters requested more information on which class 7 lakes could be affected by the proposal.

Robles Macías* The longitude of the Mediterranean throughout history: facts, myths and surprises Keywords: History of longitude; cartographic errors; comparative studies of maps; tables of geographical coordinates; old maps of the Mediterranean Summary: Our survey of pre-1750 cartographic works reveals a rich and complex evolution of the longitude of the Mediterranean (LongMed). While confirming several previously docu- mented trends − e.g. the adoption of erroneous Ptolemaic longitudes by 15th and 16th-century European cartographers, or the striking accuracy of Arabic-language tables of coordinates−, we have observed accurate LongMed values largely unnoticed by historians in 16th-century maps and noted that widely diverging LongMed values coexisted up to 1750, sometimes even within the works of one same author.

  • Apocryphal Voyages to the Northwest Coast of America by Henry R
    1931.] Apocryphal Voyages to Coast of America 179 APOCRYPHAL VOYAGES TO THE NORTHWEST COAST OF AMERICA BY HENRY R. WAGNER FOREWORD The opportunity afforded me to publish the present article, whieh might appropriately be called More Imaginary California Geography, allows me to make a few corrections and amplifica- tions to Some Imaginary California Geography, published in the PROCEEDINGS for April, 1926. On page 21 of that article in referring to Juan de Fuca a statement is made about the abortive expedition of 1589 or 1590 financed by Hernando de Sanctotis in which Fuca perhaps took part. There was an expedition of about 1589 or 1590 financed by Sanctotis but it was not the abortive one to which Fuca refers. This took place in late 1593 or early 1594 and was financed by Sebastian Vizcaino's company. On page 48 the date of Father Benavides' memorial is incorrectly given as 1632 instead of 1630. Since 1926 a map of Guilleaume Bleau has been unearthed which is believed by Dr. F. A. Wieder to have been made in 1648. A reproduction of it was published in Vol. 3 of the Monumenta Cartographica. If the date assigned to the map by Dr. Wieder is correct it is probably the earliest one of Briggs' type with corrections. I have lately received from Mr. G. R. G. Conway in Mexico City a photograph of a manuscript map in Tomo X of the Muñoz documents in the Real Academia de la Historia, Madrid. It is not dated nor is the Derrotero which it precedes. The place names on the northwest coast are different from those on the Briggs map and the arrangement of them is also different.

  • Austin Utilities Wellhead Protection Plan Part I
    WELLHEAD PROTECTION PLAN July 2019 Forward The following are excerpts from the Austin Utilities website that provide a brief overview of this public water supply system: “Austin Utilities is a community-owned, not-for-profit electric, water, and natural gas utility, serving more than 12,000 customers within a community of over 23,000 people. Austin is located in Southeastern Minnesota approximately 12 miles north of the Iowa border and approximately 100 miles south of the Twin Cities metro area. Our mission is to offer utility products and services in a safe, reliable and responsible manner in order to enhance the quality of life in our community.” This document presents a comprehensive wellhead protection plan for AU that will help provide for an adequate and safe drinking water supply for community residents. Eight wells in the Austin area contribute source water to the AU system. The wells have undergone a separate, extensive groundwater modeling process as part of wellhead protection planning. The modeling results are presented in a ‘part one’ report located in Appendix B which contain 1) the delineation of the wellhead protection area, 2) the delineation of the drinking water supply management area (DWSMA), and 3) the assessments of well and drinking water supply management area vulnerability. The part one report was approved by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) before the second part of the plan was prepared. The remainder of the wellhead protection plan is referred to as ‘part two’ and contains procedures for conducting a potential contaminant source inventory (PCSI) and the development of goals, objectives and measures that AU will take to offset the risk that potential contamination sources present to the public water supply system.

  • The Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece
    e-Perimetron , Vol. 3, No. 3, 2008 [101-119] www.e-perimetron.org | ISSN 1790-3769 George Tolias * Antiquarianism, Patriotism and Empire. Transfer of the cartography of the Travels of Anacharsis the Younger , 1788-1811 Keywords : Late Enlightenment; Antiquarian cartography of Greece; Abbé Barthélemy; Anacharsis; Barbié du Bocage ; Guillaume Delisle; Rigas Velestinlis Charta. Summary The aim of this paper is to present an instance of cultural transfer within the field of late Enlightenment antiquarian cartography of Greece, examining a series of maps printed in French and Greek, in Paris and Vienna, between 1788 and 1811 and related to Abbé Barthé- lemy’s Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece . The case-study allows analysing the al- terations of the content of the work and the changes of its symbolic functions, alterations due first to the transferral of medium (from a textual description to a cartographic representation) and next, to the successive transfers of the work in diverse cultural environments. The trans- fer process makes it possible to investigate some aspects of the interplay of classical studies, antiquarian erudition and politics as a form of interaction between the French and the Greek culture of the period. ‘The eye of History’ The Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece , by Abbé Jean-Jacques Barthélemy (1716- 1795) 1, was published on the eve of the French Revolution (1788) and had a manifest effect on its public. “In those days”, the Perpetual Secretary of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres, Bon-Joseph Dacier (1742-1833) was to recall in 1826, “an unexpected sight came to impress and surprise our spirit.
