    Community Preservation Plan Town of Chester, NY March 26, 2019 Committee Draft Prepared by the Town of Chester Community Preservation Plan Committee Prepared with technical assistance from: Planit Main Street, Inc. Preface The Town of Chester has long recognized that community planning is an ongoing process. In 2015, the Town Board adopted a Comprehensive Plan, which was an update of its 2003 Comprehensive Plan. The 2015 Comprehensive Plan recommended additional actions, plans and detailed studies to pursue the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. Among these were additional measures to protect natural resources, agricultural resources and open space. In September 2017, the Town Board appointed a Community Preservation Plan Committee (CPPC) to guide undertake the creation of the Town’s first Community Preservation Plan. This Community Preservation Plan is not a new departure - rather it incorporates and builds upon the recommendations of the Town’s adopted 2015 Comprehensive Plan and its existing land use regulations. i Acknowledgements The 2017 Community Preservation Plan (CPP) Steering Committee acknowledges the extraordinary work of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan Committee in creating the Town’s 2015 Comprehensive Plan.

An interesting bit of transportation history of the City of New York well remembered by many old New Yorkers may be told in connection with the fine line of steamboats which plyed the East River from Harlem to Peck's Slip. The record of these "Sylvan" boats is definitely preserved in the five splendid water-color paint­ ings which have recently become the property of The New York Historical Society and are reproduced in this issue of the Bulletin, while the boats themselves have all been destroyed with the pos­ sible exception of one, as this article will hereafter relate. At the time that these steamboats were built traveling from the lower end of Manhattan Island to Harlem, was accomplished by the stages and later the horse cars and it is variously recorded that a trip from City Hall to Harlem Bridge by the horse car took from one hour and a half to two hours for the journey.
