  2. But, First….

  3. Ha! I told you so! • “Under state law, alternates may serve in the event of a conflict of interest. However, they may also serve in place of absent members if a local law is passed superseding state law. Which alternates serves for a given application or on a given night is usually left up to the chair of the planning board.”

  4. What Happens at MinnowbrookStays at Minnowbrook…

  5. Hamlets

  6. What is a Hamlet? • An area within your town. It is not incorporated as a village, but is identified by a name. • A central area. Such as a town center. Area of businesses, residential and services. Mixed use.

  7. What is Mixed use? Mixed Use Development: Allowing more than one type of use in a building or set of buildings. AND/OR allowing multiple types of uses that compliment one another in the same area/zone of a municipality.

  8. Hamlet Example-Outside Keuka Lake

  9. Hamlet Example - Jerusalem

  10. Why Hamlets? • Define your town/municipality, define your center • Concentrates business and residential areas, while protecting agricultural and rural areas. • Less costly to maintain and provide services to condensed areas.

  11. How do we get there? • We work together. We work with our neighbors. • Define areas appropriate for hamlets in your comprehensive plan. • Don’t have any? Encourage growth in the villages and hamlets outside your municipality, while maintaining rural within. • Think regionally…not only locally. • Develop hamlet’s through zoning. • Allow for mixed use and smaller parcels (subdivisions) in the hamlet areas.

  12. Does your community have a voice in who buys this and what they do with it? Have you given them the tools?

  13. What if its more subtle than that?

  14. How can you keep both growth, and decay, in check?
