WORKSHOP I

Hamlets 3 Phase 2:  Training and Implementation Workshops

11 A.M.  Long Lake Town Hall – General introductions and discussion of local planning issues with committee and board members to identify current planning proposals, needs, and opportunities for hamlet growth and expansion in Long Lake, Blue Mountain Lake and Indian Lake.

12 NOON Long Lake Town Hall – PowerPoint presentation of Hamlets 3 smart growth project for the Adirondack Park:

• Smart growth hamlet planning guidebook (free copies available)
• Community values, visions and cornerstones
• Applying the Hamlets 3 expansion model in the local hamlets
• Time frame for subsequent 2013 workshops in the local hamlets

1-3 P.M. Site Tour (walk/drive) – of potential expansion sites in the local hamlets and surrounding areas:

• Changes in the hamlets that have occurred over time
• Availability of desirable land for hamlet expansion
• Base information and other project development needs

The hamlets of Long Lake, Blue Mountain Lake and Indian Lake have been selected to participate in the 2013 Hamlets 3 Phase 2 training and implementation workshop series. The goal of this workshop series is to develop a viable approach for implementing hamlet expansion and smart economic growth in the hamlets with a particular emphasis on destination tourism.

Today, hamlet/village expansion is very timely in the Adirondack Park because many communities have expressed a need for residential and commercial growth. Providing smart growth areas by building on existing community centers has two important benefits:

1. It enables the community to integrate land suitable for development into the fabric of the existing hamlet
2. It complements the protection of open space by discouraging visually unappealing and inefficient sprawl and strip development

The recently published Hamlets 3 guidebook illustrates the process, tools and guidelines for smart hamlet expansion in the Adirondack Park and will be used in the workshops.

The guidebook can be found online at www.adkhamlets.org.

Main Street Meeting committee notes

Main Street Revitalization Sub-Committee Meeting 

 7:00 PM, March 6, 2013

 

NY Main Street Main Street Grant Program

Prior to the meeting the committee reviewed the grant summary to become more knowledgeable with the objectives and potential positive impact for Main Street – Indian Lake.  All were encouraged to attend the attend 3/13 CDC Meeting to encourage and support the submission of a 2013 Indian Lake grant application.

Meet in March

Our next meeting of the planning committee is on March 13, at 6:00PM in the large meeting room of the Town Hall.   All welcome to attend and contribute! The group continues to meet and go forward with new ideas and accomplishments towards community improvements.

State Land Access

As a result of meeting with DEC staff on Feb. 7, and their recommendations made to the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) regarding public access and State land classification of former Finch-Pruyn lands, it is imperative that the Town of Indian Lake develop our own proposal and plan for those lands impacting our community. The Town Board is very concerned that the DEC proposal will severely limit our community’s access to these lands and negatively impact the future recreational and economic opportunities promised by the Governor and State agencies.

 The Town Board will hold a special workshop 7 PM,Thursday, February 21, at the Town Hall for the purpose of briefly outlining the DEC plan, what evidence the Town has been able to collect proving that the Chain Lakes Rd. was, at one time a public thoroughfare and what significance this may have in allowing public road access to the Cedar River. The Board will welcome input from residents and interested parties as to recommendations Indian Lake should make to the APA regarding future use and classification of these lands.

The Board request that community organizations, business owners, recreationists, sportsmen, paddlers and all others interested in the future use of the these lands and the economic future of our community to attend this workshop.

Planning Meeting February 13

The  next meeting of the Indian Lake Planning group is February 13, at 6:00 PM at the Indian Lake Town Hall.  The main focus of this meeting will be building our snowmobile economy.  Four representatives from organizations that support snowmobiling in Indian Lake have volunteered to attend.
