1 proposed Plan In order to slow and better control traffic flow, the proposal would re-configure the streets coming into Willow Glen by upgrading Jordan Road to a limited boulevard with a wide planted median, and by turning Jewett Road to meet Old Seneca Turnpike at a 90-degree angle. By widening the right-of-way along Jordan Road for the insertion of a linear park, the existing homes and commercial buildings will have a presence on the street and add definition to the public space. At the newly configured intersection, a series of mixed-use buildings add spatial definition to a new square. A market pavilion and a willow tree denote the center of activity and create an identity for the neighborhood Strategies for Sustainable Skaneateles 75

Mottville Existing Conditions The hamlet of Mottville at the crossroads of Jordan Road and Mottville Road is one of the older settlements in Skaneateles.

4 Mottville Existing Conditions The hamlet of Mottville at the crossroads of Jordan Road and Mottville Road is one of the older settlements in Skaneateles. Currently, there exists a collection of detached housing with an emporium and post office at the center. The Mottville volunteer fire department is found to the south on Frost Street, and the main Welch Allyn plant is located about one half of a mile to the east. One of the biggest assets of Mottville is its direct access to the Charlie Major Nature Trail. railroad street mottville road jordan road Existing Building Removed Building Proposed Building Civic Building Water Constructed Wetlands Receiving Area Boundary Existing Hamlet Boundary Watershed Boundary 1/4 Mile Walking Radius 78 Hamlet Master Plans

5 proposed Plan The proposal for Mottville is relatively limited in scope. Several sites for infill were targeted, both for mixeduse buildings and detached residences. A new church is proposed on the site of a former church where Church Street meets Jordan Road. An extension of the Charlie Major Trail is proposed, to follow the creek north towards the hamlet of Skaneateles Falls Strategies for Sustainable Skaneateles 79

Skaneateles Falls Existing Conditions Skaneateles Falls is an existing hamlet located along Skaneateles Creek on the northwest side of the Town of Skaneateles.

8 Skaneateles Falls Existing Conditions Skaneateles Falls is an existing hamlet located along Skaneateles Creek on the northwest side of the Town of Skaneateles. On otherwise sparsely populated parcels of land, it is occupied by some of the Town s major employers, including General Electric, Honeywell and Welch Allyn, largely isolated from each other and from hamlet residences. Historically, St. Bridget Church and Skaneateles Union School existed on the eastern side of the neighborhood, and although the buildings still exist, they have been adapted for different uses. philips street stump road school street jordan road Existing Building Removed Building Proposed Building Civic Building Water Constructed Wetlands Receiving Area Boundary Existing Hamlet Boundary Watershed Boundary 1/4 Mile Walking Radius 82 Hamlet Master Plans

9 proposed Plan The main goals of the proposal are first to create a stronger identity for this well-established community; and second, to promote housing---across a greater range of household income levels---within walking distance of the large industrial campuses. Our proposal includes a public plaza lined with mixed-use buildings anchored by a creek-side pavilion to the west and the re-occupied church to the east. The new dwelling units will be within walking distance of several active and passive recreational parks, as well as employment, retail, and civic uses. Linking Skaneateles Falls to the other Jordan Road hamlets via a creek walk will provide an alternative path to the Village and a recreational escape into nature Strategies for Sustainable Skaneateles 83

With the cemetery---at the intersection of Stump and Foster Roads ---at its heart, the community of Shepard Settlement traces its history to the early nineteenth century. However, while the land has been traditionally occupied by farms and forests, Shepard Settlement in recent years has become a site of limestone and gravel mining. Currently, Shepard Settlement is not designated as a hamlet; its residences are sparesely distributed and lack a proper core. stump road Existing Building Removed Building Proposed Building Civic Building Water Constructed Wetlands Receiving Area Boundary Watershed Boundary 1/4 Mile Walking Radius 88 Hamlet Master Plans

18 Mandana Existing Conditions Mandana is a hamlet located on the southwestern part of the Town of Skaneateles. While Mandana has a prime location alongside Skaneateles Lake, views of the lakefront are somewhat obstructed by the existing boat launch and boat storage houses. Currently, the Mandana Inn is the only commercial activity serving the needs of the hamlet residents. Despite the official status of Mandana as a hamlet, housing is sparsely distributed and without a proper hamlet boundary, discouraging the establishment of a walkable and sustainable hamlet neighborhood. state route 359 west lake road Existing Building Removed Building Proposed Building Civic Building Water Constructed Wetlands Receiving Area Boundary Existing Hamlet Boundary Watershed Boundary 1/4 Mile Walking Radius 92 Hamlet Master Plans

19 proposed Plan Along the lakefront, we propose a public green with a pavilion and upper-end residential rowhouses with views to the lake. We also propose two new architecturally appropriate boat storage houses for the north and south sides of the public green, to replace existing boathouses. Opposite the existing Mandana Inn, we propose one new civic building and two mixed-use buildings for the other corners at the intersection of West Lake Road and Lacy Road, to serve Skaneateles residents and tourists Strategies for Sustainable Skaneateles 93

The Rural-to-Urban Transect T-1 T-2 T-3 A Rural-to-Urban Transect is a diagram of human habitat describing the relationship of the rural environment to traditional urban environments.

26 The Rural-to-Urban Transect T-1 T-2 T-3 A Rural-to-Urban Transect is a diagram of human habitat describing the relationship of the rural environment to traditional urban environments. Rural Transect Zones (T1 and T2) designate areas generally not occupied by human settlements larger than family homesteads, and differentiate between natural landscapes (both untouched and preserved) and cultivated landscapes. Urban Transect Zones (T3 - T6) refer in turn to a range of human habitats that support human flourishing, within which human settlements are part of a sustainable ecosystem that includes both natural and cultivated landscapes. This range of human habitats, characterized as an Urban Transect, progresses from less dense human settlements (T-3) to more dense human settlements (T-6), with each urban Transect Zone denoting a walkable and mixed-use human environment including many if not all of the necessities and normal activities of daily life within a five-to-ten-minute walk for persons of all ages and economic classes.

28 Regulating Plans Conventional zoning codes are based primarily on the separation of uses into distinct categories or zones. The current Skaneateles Town code has five such zones, including Rural Residential (RR) and Highway Commercial (HC). This separation of uses promotes dispersed, lowdensity growth, i.e. sprawl. Furthermore, conventional zoning makes new mixed-use and walkable neighborhoods based on the scale and character of historic patterns found in Skaneateles effectively illegal. An alternative to this system of use-based zoning is the adoption of a regulating plan and a form-based code. Such documents are based upon the idea of a rural-to-urban transect. Arising from a belief that human beings flourish in a variety of habitats, a rural-to-urban transect proposes a range of such habitats, called Transect-zones (see previous pages). A regulating plan is a document that supports an overall master plan vision; it identifies the specific T-zone and page of form-based code applicable to a particular building lot. Civic Space-zones and Civic Building-zones are identified in addition to the various T-zones, and together constitute the regulating plan. In turn, a form-based code is one that regulates building based on density and building type rather than use. Specific code pages related to each Transect-zone indicated on the regulating plan identify the characteristics of the buildings permitted within that T-zone: e.g., the building type; whether it is attached or detached from its neighboring buildings; its setback from front, side, and rear property lines; its number of allowable stories; its conditions for ancillary buildings; any requirements for off-street parking; et cetera. The proposed regulating plans for the Town and Village of Skaneateles on the following page promote a variety of walkable mixed-use neighborhoods.
