As defined in the state legislation, a comprehensive plan is a document that presents goals, objectives, guidelines and policies for the immediate and long-range protection, enhancement, growth and development of the community. Also known as a master plan or land use plan, a comprehensive plan provides guidance to municipal leaders and helps to ensure that the needs of the community will be met. A comprehensive plan is simply a stack of papers, but infused with the enthusiasm, commitment and energy of those who care about a community, it becomes a vision for the future and a guide to bring that vision to life. The comprehensive planning process that led to the development of this action plan has shown that this spirit of cooperation and enthusiasm is shared by leaders, residents and partners of the Town and Village of Coxsackie. The Coxsackie Community Plan is designed to reinforce Coxsackie as a vibrant community. The comprehensive planning The Great Swamp process resulted in a number of important documents: a including community profile, this action plan and, soon, a new zoning Five local governments Southeast, Patterson, Town of ordinance for each municipality.

Network supports smart growth by providing a set of ten principles to help communities recognize and value smart growth and identify strategies to achieve it. The Coxsackie Community Plan adopts the following ten principles and recognizes that the actions recommended in this Plan will help put them into practice. Smart growth principles call on the communities to: • Mix land uses Take advantage of compact building design • Create a range of housing opportunities and choices xsackie Community Plan • Create walkable neighborhoods • Foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place • Preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty and critical environmental areas • Strengthen and direct development towards existing communities • Provide a variety of transportation choices • Make development decisions predictable, fair and cost effective • Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions The Town and Village of Coxsackie have been developing their Comprehensive Plan over the past three years, using a comprehensive plan committee and the assistance of River Street Planning & Development, who were engaged by the Town and Village to facilitate the planning process. The focus of the comprehensive planning effort is asset based, building on community strengths and existing programs and "We must stop talking about the efforts to: American dream and start listening to the dreams of Americans.

The role of the Steering Committee has been to guide and lead the planning process; collect and share relevant information; review documents; supervise the consultant team; educate residents about the process and the plan roles and responsibilities, charge and scope; and conduct community outreach and publicity. The committee conducted dozens of community conversations and coordinated the planning, logistics and outreach associated with survey distribution, focus groups, community visioning meetings and public workshops. They reviewed materials and documents and maintained the flow of communication with elected officials. In addition, the committee conducted four focus groups with the following: • The Twelve Tribes, a major property owner and retailer in the Village • Land developers including Hamlet on the Hudson, UMH Properties, and Flach Development • Planning and Development Agencies including Greene County Industrial Development Authority and Greene County Department of Planning and Economic Development • Farmers and agricultural organizations f Coxsackie Community Plan • The committee also helped to organize and hosted an inter-municipal planning meeting with other Hudson River Towns and Villages to encourage sharing of their emerging comprehensive plans and identification of opportunities for collaboration. Community Survey In order to assess resident concerns about issues facing the future of the Town and Village, a survey was conducted. A paper survey was mailed to every household, and made available in local establishments. The survey was also available on the Internet. A total of 545 surveys were completed — a very high response rate for comparable community surveys. Included here are items of particular note from the survey results. Who Responded: • Surveys were mailed to each household in the Town and Village "Surveys such as this of Coxsackie (excluding residents of the correctional facility).

The Kingbird 2018 December; 68 (4) 257 REPORT OF THE NEW YORK STATE AVIAN RECORDS COMMITTEE FOR 2014 The New York State Avian Records Committee (hereafter “NYSARC” or the “Committee”) evaluated 123 submissions involving 69 occurrences of New York State review species from 2014, including 30 submissions involving four occurrences of potential first State records. Additionally, the Committee evaluated 4 submissions involving four occurrences of New York State review species from previous years. Reports were received from across the state, with 25 of the 62 counties represented plus the pelagic zone. The number of reports accompanied by photographs remains high and naturally benefits the value of the archive. The Committee wishes to remind readers that reports submitted to eBird, listservs, local bird clubs, rare bird alerts (RBAs) and even The Kingbird Regional Editors are not necessarily passed along to NYSARC.

RPS ASA, SEAConsult LLC, and Risknology, Inc., were all subcontractors to ERC under separate contracts. The HROSRA research team acknowledges the invaluable inputs and discussions with Scenic Hudson over the course of the study period (September 2017 through May 2018), including the selection and development of the hypothetical spill scenarios. The contents of the report, data, analyses, findings, and conclusions are solely the responsibility of the research team and do not constitute any official position by Scenic Hudson. The Hudson River Oil Spill Risk Assessment was conducted as an independent, objective, technical analysis without any particular agenda or viewpoint except to provide quantitative and qualitative information that could be used to work to a common goal of spill prevention and preparedness. The study is intended to inform officials, decision-makers, stakeholders, and the general public about oil spill risk in the Hudson River. The diligent efforts of the RPS SIMAP modeling team of Deborah Crowley, Jenna Ducharme, Matt Frediani, Emily Skeehan, and Matt Bernardo provided the necessary data, results, maps, and graphics that formed the foundation of much of the analysis in the HROSRA.

Weinman and Thomas P. Weinman 22 Minutes of the 55th Annual Meeting, New York State Archeological Association 24 Book Note - L.A.B 28 No. 53, November 1971 1 Editorial Preface: The Ryders Point Site The publication of the following report by the late Julius Lopez on the vanished Ryders Pond site in Brooklyn has been delayed for the past few years by considerations of space, finance and policy. Its eventual publication, however, was inevitable and obligatory; it may well be the only report ever to be made on a Brooklyn site by a competent archaeologist dealing with the material in relatively modern terms. The data had been assembled and part of the report was in manuscript before Mr. Lopez's death on December 5, 1961. It was then turned over for completion to a colleague, Stanley Wisniewski, by Mr. Lopez's widow, Mrs. Eleanor Lopez. In its completed form it was much too lengthy for publication in a single or even two issues of The Bulletin, but its uniqueness as a record precluded thought of serious cutting or condensation. After much discussion the decision, approved by Mr. Wisniewski, Mrs. Lopez, and the editorial committee of NYSAA, has been to publish in three parts: the site history and lithics section in this issue, the ceramics and conclusion section and bibliography in the July, 1972, issue, and an addendum on four kaolin pipes by the late F.

  • The Isaac Titus House History Coxsackie, New York
    Birchwood Archaeological Services The Isaac Titus House History Coxsackie, New York by Anna Blinn Excerpted from: 2008 Anna Blinn, David Moyer and Rebecca Moyer Phase II Site Examination of the Titus House Site for the Water Tank Replacement Project Town of Coxsackie, Greene County, NY. Prepared by Birchwood Archaeological Services for the Town of Coxsackie. On File, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Waterford New York. The Isaac Titus House (excerpted from full Phase II report) Historic Overview Greene County New York sits in the northern region of the Catskill Mountains. Established in 1800, it was named for the Revolutionary War hero Nathaniel Greene. The Greene County seat is Catskill. The Village of Coxsackie was incorporated in 1867 allowing collection of taxes for sewer, water, streetlights, and police protection. Both the Town and Village of Coxsackie took their names from "Coxsackie", an Algonquin word variously believed to mean "Place of Owls", "Migrating Geese", or "Cut Rocks" (Beauchamp 1907). Pioneers settled on a small parcel of 6 acres purchased from the Indians in 1652. The old stone Pieter Bronk House on Coxsackie Creek was built in 1663, one year before the Dutch colonial government lost control to the English in the Hudson Valley (Ebenlein and Hubbard 1962). Casparus Bronk built the first sawmill in Coxsackie in 1750 (Fox 1976). The First Reformed Church, the oldest Church in Greene County, was established in 1732. The oldest highway in the town is the King’s Road of 1710. This road, which lead from King’s Road to the river, was laid out in 1790 and ran “between the line of Peter Bronk, Richard Bronk and Anthony Van Bergen” and son on “to the dock of Ephrahim Bogardus on the North River, to the high water mark.” In 1793, the road at the head of the landing is described as “leading from the dwelling house of Eliakim Reed to Coxsackie Landing”, and, in 1806, the Coxsackie Turnpike was built (Vedder 1927).
