                                          INTRODUCTION

               The    Town   of Evans occupies 47 square miles of land in
               southwestrn    Eris County, extending twelve 'miles along the
               shoreline of Lake Erie. The Town is bordered on the northeast
               by the Town of Hamburg, on the east by the Town of Eden, on the
               south by the Town of Brant, and on the west and northwest by
               Lake Erie. The population of the Town (including the Village of
               Angola) is  roughly 18,000.

               Evans is    predominantly rural in character, although most of the
               lakeshore   has been developed for low density residential uses.
               The Evans    lakeshore has been popular for decades as a summer
               recreation area, and features numerous cottages, camps, and
               religious retreats.      Along the lakeshore Evangola State Park,
               Wendt Beach County Park, Evans Town Park, Bennett Beach Park,
               and    the Sturgeon Point Mari   na function as major regional
               recreation attractions.      more recently, the area has become
               increasing popular for year-round suburban residences.

               Elsewhere, the Town maintains a diversified agricultural base.
               Some commercial/residential activity occurs in concentrations
               along Route 5 near Angola, in Evans Center, in North Evans, and
               in Derby.      Industrial activity does not form a major component
               of the Town's  land use.

                                      INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS

                      INTRODUCTION

                      The Evans waterfront revitalization area as previously
                      established by the Town stretches for roughly 12 miles
                      along the Lake Erie shoreline, extending inland 4001 to
                      40001 to Lake Shore Rd; the southernmost 1.5 miles extends
                      an additional 80001 to 10,000, inland to NY Route 5.
                      Located within the revitalization area are Sturgeon Point,
                      Wendt Beach, Bennett Beach, Evans Town Park, and portions
                      of Evangola State Park and Eighteen Mile Creek.

                      The Town of Evans waterfront is largely residential in
                      character, with numerous summer residences and tax-exempt
                      institutional properties.     Beaches are common, and public
                      shoreline access is available at five parks.

                      PHYSICAL STATUS

                      A. Land Use and Buildings:       (Existing neighborhoods and
                         uses are illustrated on Map Series 2 and 3).

                         Highland/Derby:

                         Eighteen Mile Creek delineates the northern limit of
                         the Evans waterfront forming the municipal boundary
                         with the Town of Hamburg. The creek flows through a
                         steep scenic gorge (often exceeding 701 in depth) that
                         remains in a natural state and contains fossil deposits
                         of    international   significance.    Some low density
                         residential development mixed with woodland occurs at

                          South of the creek for roughly four miles the lakeshore
                          contains numerous residential estates, private clubs,
                          and religious institutions. Most buildings date to the
                          early    1900's,    although   a   contemporary townhouse
                          development has been constructed on the bluffs at the
                          mouth of Eighteen -Mile Creek.         Commercial activity
                          along this section of waterfront is negligible.

                          Sturgeon Point

                          The Erie County Water Authority's Sturgeon Point Water
                          Treatment Plant occupies 75 acres of land south of the
                          estates;    this    is a modern facility on extensive
                          landscaped grounds.       Portions of these grounds are
                          being considered f or the development of recreational
                          facilities.     Nearby is the Sturgeon Point Marina, a
                          Town-owned facility which includes a large parking
                          area.      This marina is currently undergoing major
                          rehabilitation.     The Sturgeon Point community contains
                          a mixture of single-family housing types generally in
                          good condition.       Substantial amounts of undeveloped
                          woodland and roughly 100 acres of cropland remain
                          nearby    (including a 55-acre parcel owned by Erie
                          County).

                          Angola-on-the-Lake:

                          This three-mile section of shoreline south of Sturgeon
                          Point is defined by Wendt   Beach Park at the
                          northern end and Evans      Town Park at the southern end.
                          Wendt Beach is an Erie      County park covering 178 acres
                          and    includes a 22001     long sand beach, concession
                          building, picnic areas, and parking. Bennett Beach,
                          owned by the City of Buffalo but maintained by Erie

                                                    30

                          County, occupies roughly 50 acres and includes similar
                          facilities.    Between these two parks is an area of
                          summer   residences,    private   camps,,   and scattered
                          woodland.    Sand dunes (151-301 high) occur along the
                          lakeshore in the vicinity of Bennett Beach.

                          The Angola-on-the-Lake community continues south from
                          Bennett Beach roughly one mile to the Evans Town Park.
                          This portion of the community contains a mixture of
                          summer     cottages,    institutions,     and    commercial
                          establishments.     Evidence of physical deterioration is
                          exhibited in this area.

                          Public boat launch ramps exist at Wendt Beach and at
                          Purvis Landing (north of Delaware Creek); however,
                          these ramps are not regularly maintained by the Town.

                          The Village of Angola water plant and an Erie County
                          Sewer District treatment plant are located slightly
                          south of Big Sister Creek.          The sewer plant lies
                          immediately outside of the waterfront revitalization

                          area.

                          The Evans Town Park is bisected by Lake Shore Road.
                          The two sections are linked via a pedestrian tunnel.
                          The    park   includes   a   sand beach, picnic areas,
                          restrooms, and parking and athletic fields.

                            Point Breeze/Lake Erie Beach

                            The area near Point Breeze contains a cluster of small
                            commercial uses, a campground, a sand beach owned by
                            the Lake Erie Beach Property Owners Association, and
                            some housing (including a few mobile homes at Point
                            Breeze     campground).         There    are    instances      of
                            deteriorated      facades      and     inadequately-maintained
                            grounds.      South and east of Point Breeze is the Lake
                            Erie Beach community, including a 21001 sand beach
                            extending     to Evangola State Park.           The community
                            extends inland roughly two miles to NY Route 5, between
                            Herr Road to the north and the Town of Brant boundary
                            to the south.         The community includes a relatively
                            dense    (i.e.  10,000 sq. ft. lot size) residential area
                            which is interspersed with large tracts of wood and
                            brush.     Portions of the area along Route 5 and Reeves
                            Road are used for agriculture.            Isolated commercial
                            uses (taverns, grocery, real estate office, etc.) are
                            located along Route 5, Lake Shore, Kennedy, and Herr
                            Roads.    The community also contains a public elementary
                            school, fire hall, and electric substation. Local road
                            conditions exhibit wide variation, from two-lane paved
                            highways      to one-lane dirt paths. A large number of
                            its 1935 housing units were largely seasonal; many have
                            now been converted to permanent year-round use. Signs
                            of deterioration are        common.     The Lake Erie Beach

                            Community     Development Block Grant funds in recent
                            years.        Its    4300    residents    are     predominantly

            B.      Transportation and Utilities

                    Lake Shore Road parallels, the waterfront along the entire
                    length of the waterfront area.          The County road is a
                    two-lane   highway    with   numerous    curves    that    pose
                    occassional hazards to traffic, especially when coupled
                    with heavy summer volumes of vehicles and pedestrians.
                    Secondary roads in the area are often privately owned.

                    The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority provides bus
                    service along Lake Shore Road Monday through Friday. Four
                    trips daily serve downtown Buffalo. Fares vary depending
                    upon distance travelled (from a minimum of 55 cents to a
                    maximum of $1.50). Saturday service is available on Route
                    5, approximately one mile east of Lake Shore Road. No
                    service is provided on Sunday.

                    Sanitary sewer service is provided through Erie County
                    Sewer District No. 2, which uses a modern treatment plant
                    on the east side of Lake Shore Road south of Big Sister
                    Creek.    Roughly 80% of the waterfront area is served by
                    sanitary sewers.      The principal gap in the system is a
                    two-mile  segment   centered on Sturgeon Point; roughly 25%
                    of the Lake Erie    Beach area also remains unserviced. The
                    sewer   system is operating at roughly 90% of design
                    capacity of 4.5     MGD.     Except for the extreme southeast
                    (centered along Reeves Road and containing part of the
                    Brant-Evans    Agricultural District No. 2), the entire
                    waterfront area lies within the sewer district.

                                               39

                      Water service    along'most of the waterfront is provided by
                      the Town of Evans, which purchases water from the Village
                      of Angola municipal system.        The Angola system directly
                      serves the area between Lake Street and Bennett Beach (the
                      system's water plant is located immediately south of
                      Bennett Beach). The system normally operates at about 75%
                      of its 2.3 MGD design capacity.

                      Water to a three-mile segment of the waterfront area (from
                      Sturgeon Point Road north to roughly one mile north of
                      Pike Creek) is supplied through the Erie County Water
                      Authority's modern Sturgeon Point intake and treatment
                      plant.     The plant provides water to much of Erie County.
                      Its design capacity is 96 MGD; current average utilization
                      is roughly 40 MGD.

                      Solid waste disposal in the Town is the responsibility of
                      the individual property owner.         Contracts with private
                      refuse    collection   firms    are most commonly used (A
                      town-wide collection system is currently under study by
                      the Town Board).

                C.    Topography:

                      Sturgeon Point essentially separates two distinctive areas
                      of the Evans lakeshore.        To the south of Sturgeon Point
                      are numerous stretches of sand beach (with occasional
                      dunes) that are separated by bluffs and promontories.
                      Significant beaches include Evangola, Point Breeze, Evans,
                      Bennett, and Wendt. Grandview Bay's shoreline is typical
                      of a bluff formation.

                      North of Sturgeon Point the shore is dominated by cliffs
                      up to 601 high withloccasional stretches of narrow beach.

                                                 40

                      This terrain continues.to Eighteen Mile Creek, which forms
                      a dramatic gorge.

               D.     Soils:

                      The soils within the Town of Evans waterfront fall into
                      thirteen    series   as classified    by the U.S.D.A. Soil
                      Conservation Service and are identified on Map 4. These
                      include Cosad, Niagara, Rhinebeck (silty loams), Angola,
                      Manlius,    Orpark,   Remsen, Darien (silty clay loams),
                      Varysburg,    Blasdell-Farnham,    Redhook    (gravelly sandy
                      loams), Middlebury, and Wayland (sandy silt loams).

                      The     silty   loams    are   poorly    drained   with     slow
                      permeability.     This, coupled with a high water table and
                      clay sub-soils, results in seasonal wetness and unstable
                      conditions    especially on slopes. Soil nutrients will
                      support most native plant life; however, the seasonal
                      wetness limits the variety of vegetation.            These soil
                      types are found in the vicinity of Point Breeze, Evans
                      Town Park, and Wendt Beach Park extending southward to Big
                      Sister Creek.

                      The silty clay loams are poor to moderately well drained
                      soils.     Shallow bedrock and slow permeability contribute
                      to some seasonal wetness and instability. This also limit
                      the variety of plant material indigenous to these areas.
                      The water table varies between one and three feet below
                      grade.     These soils are found in the vicinity of Evangola
                      State Park, Lake Erie Beach and Sturgeon Point and north
                      of Sturgeon Point to Eighteen Mile Creek. Manlius rock
                      outcrops occur along the walls of the Eighteen Mile Creek

                      gorge.

                       The, gravelly  Sandy loams are well drained with rapid
                       permeability.    However, a seasonally high water table
                       produces occasional wetness and unstable conditions in
                       certain areas.     Bedrock is five to six feet below grade.
                       These   soil conditions are found in the vicinity of
                       Sturgeon Point and Angola-on-the-Lake.

                       The sandy silty loams are poor to moderately well drained
                       soils existing in floodplain areas adjacent to small
                       creeks.     Bedrock is usually deeper than five feet.
                       Because of their location they are generally wet and prone
                       to seasonal flooding. These soils exist adjacent to Big
                       Sister Creek, Muddy Creek and Delaware Creek.

                       In addition, over five miles of the Evans lakeshore is
                       occupied   by   stretches of sand beach.        The longest
                       continuous beach (roughly four miles in length) extends
                       from Wendt Beach through Bennett Beach to Evans Beach.
                       The northern portion of this beach contains significant
                       dune formations 151 to 301 in height. These dunes are
                       most prominent in the vicinity of Little Sister and Big
                       Sister Creeks and Bennett Beach. Other sand beaches are
                       found at Evangola State Park, Lake Erie Beach, Point
                       Breeze, Sturgeon Point, and Claddagh Bay (about one mile
                       north of Sturgeon Point). Publicly-owned beaches include
                       Evangola and portions of Evans, Bennett,and Wendt Beaches.
                       All   beaches   serve as significant hatural protective
                       features which mitigate the effects of coastal erosion

                       processes.

                F.     Flooding and Erosion

                       Seasonal    flooding    is associated with Eighteen Mile,
                       Reisch, Pike, Little Sister, Big Sister, and Delaware
                       Creeks, Fern Brook, Streams #E-17a and #E-18, and the Lake
                       Erie    shore.       Flooding    along   Muddy Creek affects
                       residential properties in the Lake Erie Beach community.

                       Much of the Town of Evans lakeshore is subject to erosion
                       resulting     from high lake levels, wind-generated wave
                       action, ice, and rain.          The Evans shoreline is largely
                       comprised of a combination of rocky bluffs up to 601 in
                       height which often rise from several lengthy stretches of
                       beach.     This combination of natural protective features
                       serves     to   mitigate   the effects of erosion-inducing
                       actions.      In addition, several stretches of retaining
                       walls have    been installed by private property owners along
                       the base of   bluffs to. further reduce erosion potential.

                       In total,     these retaining walls have been installed along
                       roughly 1.5   miles of the Town's shoreline.

                       The     New    York   State    Department    of    Environmental
                       Conservation has determined that erosion rates along the
                       Evans shoreline are less than one foot per year.

                       Reference should be made to Map 5 for a graphic location
                       of preliminary erosion hazard areas as determined by the
                       New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

                 G.    Off-Shore Conditions

                       The bed of Lake Erie maintains a constant gradual 2%
                       grade off the Evans shore to a distance of 20001 to

                                                    56

                   30001.     Six-foot depths are usually reached about 4001
                   off-shore.    Slightly deeper conditions exist near Sturgeon
                   Point, Pike Creek, and Delaware Creek. Wave action and
                   littoral drift frequently form sand bars at Sturgeon
                   Point, requiring constant dredging         to maintain an open
                   channel    to   the marina (improvements currently under
                   construction are intended to alleviate this condition).
                   There are certain areas of comparatively shallow depth
                   (31-121) 20001 off Wendt Beach and 40001 off Bennett
                   Beach.

                   An Erie County Water Authority Intake extends roughly
                   20001 into the lake north of Sturgeon Point. The Village
                   of    Angola intake lies 15001 west of Bennett Beach.
                   Numerous remains of man-made structures are visible along
                   much of the near-shore lake bed.

             H,    Wetlands and Wildlife habitats:

                   A Class II wetland (AN-3) has been identified by the New
                   York State Department of       Environmental Conservation as
                   lying partially within the     waterfront area. This wetland
                   occupies the southeastern      portion of Wendt Beach Park.
                   Immediately to the south (and outside the waterfront area)
                   is a Class I wetland designated AN-1. Another Class II
                   wetland (AN-4) lies within the revitalization area in the
                   Lake Erie Beach community south of Herr Road.               This
                   wetland is associated with a stream identified as E-21c.
                   Reference should be made to Map 5 for a graphic depiction
                   of the area.

                   Woodland along creeks and in Evangola State Park provides
                   cover for a variety of small animals and birds. Important
                   fish habitats exist at Sturgeon Point and along Eighteen

                                               57

                      Mile and Big Sister Creeks. Smallmouth Bass, Brown Trout,
                      Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, and Perch are among typical
                      varieties found in Lake Erie.

                      A June 1984 New York State Department of Environmental
                      Conservation   analysis    of the Sturgeon Point fishery
                      indicated that the area is very typical of a major portion
                      of the Lake Erie nearshore area.          Primary game fish
                      present are walleye and smallmouth bass. Panfish species
                      include yellow perch, brown bullhead, rock bass, and white
                      bass. Stocked
                      salmonids, particularly rainbow trout; are present during
                      fall and spring months.        The Sturgeon Point area is
                      scheduled to receive 25,000 yearling rainbow trout each
                      spring.

                      The    New   York   State    Department   of    Environmental
                      Conservation has determined Eighteen Mile and Big Sister
                      Creeks- to be "Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife
                      Habitats".

                      Eighteen Mile Creek is considered a rare ecosystem type
                      within the region.      It is a major tributary to Lake Erie
                      and is an important salmonid stream lined with relatively
                      undisturbed mature vegetation. In 1983, the Department of
                      Environmental   Conservation    stocked   the   stream with
                      approximately 20,00OCoho.      Similarly, the channel of Big
                      Sister Creek is relatively undisturbed and provides a
                      valuable habitat for coho and chinook salmon, steelhead,

                      and brown trout.

                      Reference should be made to Map 5 for a graphic depiction
                      of these areas.

                       A small deer, habitat exists in the upland area northeast
                       of the  Sturgeon Point marina.

                       Zoning:

                       Six types of zoning districts are found within the Evans
                       waterfront  area:

                       C-1:        Retail      Commercial      (Point    Breeze      and
                                   Angola-on-the-Lake).
                       R-9:        Apartment     (Angola-on-the-Lake and Lake Erie
                                   Beach)
                       R-9A:       Residence (Along Route 5 south of Herr Road)
                       R-12:       Two-Family Residential (Sturgeon Point and most
                                   areas south of Wendt Beach);

                       R-15:       Single-Family Residential (adjacent to Evangola
                                   State Park, Bennett Beach Park, and most areas
                                   north of and including Wendt Beach);
                       R-20A:      Residence-Agricultural      (in   the vicinity of
                                   Route 5 and Reeves Rd.)

                       Of the 2545 acres of land within the waterfront area,
                       about 71% is zoned either R-15 (1070 acres) or R-12 (730
                       acres).     Roughly 405 acres are zoned R-9; 45 acres are
                       R-9A; and 290 acres are R-20A. Only five acres are zoned
                       C-1.     Reference should be made to Map 6 for a graphic
                       description of existing zoning.

                       Public Access and Recreation:

                       Five public parks provide access to the Town of Evans
                       shoreline.      These include Evans Town Park, the Town-owned
                       Sturgeon Point Marina, Wendt Beach County Park, Bennett

                       Beach Park (owned by the City of Buffalo but maintained by
                       Erie County), and Evangola State Park. Nominal user fees
                       are collected at these parks. Together these facilities
                       occupy over one mile of shoreline.           All except the
                       Sturgeon   Point   Marina include bathing beaches.          In
                       addition, a portion of Bennett Beach is reserved for the
                       launching and storage of small sailing craft (hobie-cats).

                       All of these parks are heavily used during the summer. At
                       Wendt Beach peak summer Sundays witness crowds of 3,000 to
                       4,000; Bennett Beach attracts roughly 1,000 people during
                       comparable times.      Nominal entry f ees ($2 per car) are
                       charged on weekends from Memorial Day to Labor Day. No
                       charge is levied on weekdays; typical crowds of 500 to    800
                       are estimated to use Wendt Beach during the week.         The
                       Erie County Parks Department also conducts programs       for
                       the handicapped and elderly at Wendt Beach throughout     the
                       summer.   Bennett Beach closes after Labor Day; Wendt Beach
                       remains open throughout the year (the park is used for
                       informal cross-country skiing in winter).

                       The Sturgeon Point Marina (a Town-owned facility) covers
                       12.5 acres of land and a one-acre harbor area, and has
                       traditionally been an important recreation source for Town
                       and County residents.       Sturgeon Point is presently the
                       only   publicly-maintained    marina    between Buffalo and
                       Dunkirk, and is extremely popular with sport fishermen.
                       In 1984, daily launches totalled 4,747, while 81 seasonal
                       docking and 175 seasonal launching passes were issued
                       (fees of $4, $250 and $30 we-re charged for the respective
                       passes).    In addition, 1598 ice fishermen parked at
                       Sturgeon Point during the 1983-84 season (the parking fee
                       is $2).

                    Substantial improvements are being planned at the Marina.
                    A 1984 master plan, recommended the construction of a
                    200-slip marina, parking for 100 cars with trailers and
                    195 cars (including 6 spaces for the handicapped and 10
                    for boat rentals); overflow parking for 30 additional
                    cars; two double boat launch ramps; new restroom, office,
                    "warm-up", and launch control facilities; 6 acres of
                    landscaped grounds to include pathways and picnic areas;
                    and improvements to the shoreline and harbor breakwall to
                    reduce dredging requirements.        The Corps of Engineers
                    (Buffalo   District)    has   completed and submitted its
                    Recreational    Navigation   Improvement    study and draft
                    Environmental    Impact   Statement for review.         Pending
                    approval, designs for off-shore improvements are expected
                    to be prepared during May-September 1986 with construction
                    initiated during fall of 1986. The New York State
                    Department of Environmental Conservation has all         ocated
                    $1.8 million for landside improvements. Designs will be
                    prepared upon completion of off-shore designs by the Corps
                    (it should be noted that the two new launch ramps have
                    already been constructed and are in use). The Town of
                    Evans has also requested to obtain an additional
                    two acres of adjoining land from Erie County for ancillary
                    parking and for septic system disposal purposes. A final
                    Environmental Impact Statement for landside improvements
                    has been completed.       It is hoped that the full project
                    will be completed by the 1990 boating season.

                    The Evans Town Park encompasses about 11 acres of land on
                    both sides of Lake Shore Road.           The lakeside parcel
                    includes a sand beach and picnic grove. The inland parcel
                    contains a softball diamond, picnic areas, tennis courts,
                    and playground equipment.       The two parcels are connected
                    by a pedestrian tunnel under Lake Shore Road. The park

                                                67

                       can accomodate parking for approximately 220 cars. A $2
                       non-resident parking fee is charged daily between Memorial
                       Day and Labor Day. Town residents are not
                       charged.      During peak summer Sundays, the park is
                       estimated to attract 1,000 users. At such times, parking
                       facilities are at capacity and additional potential users
                       must be turned away.

                       Evangola State Park encompasses roughly 700 acres of land
                       within the Towns of Evans and Brant. Approximately 130
                       acres lie within Evans. The park includes a 36001 stretch
                       of sand beach (11001 in Evans) two campgrounds (one of
                       which, with 15 campsites, is in Evans) and extensive
                       picnic grounds. Parking, located in the Brant portion, is
                       provided for 2000 cars.        All recreation facilities are
                       located within approximately 245 of the Park's 700 acres.
                       Much of the remaining acreage is occupied by woodland and
                       brush.   It'should be noted that Evangola provides the only
                       publicly-owned campsites along the entire Erie County
                       shoreline.

                       Reference   should    be   made to Map 7 for a graphic
                       description of public recreation.

                       Although roughly 10% of the Evans shoreline is used for
                       public recreation, virtually all of this land serves a
                       regional constituency.     While the Evans Town Park is more
                       localized in nature, it nevertheless is popular with
                       residents from throughout the County.         There remains a
                       need    to    provide     neighborhood-oriented     recreation
                       opportunities within the more densely-populated section of
                       the Evans waterfront.       A particular need exists in the
                       Lake Erie Beach community, containing 4300 residents at an
                       average residential density of 4.5 units per acre. No
                       public   recreation    facilities are currently available

                                                  68

                   within this neighborhood, although the 1963 Town of Evans
                   comprehensive   plan ' recommended   the establishment of
                   playground and picnic facilities at several sites within
                   the community. An under-utilized 5-acre waterfront parcel
                   along the banks of Muddy Creek presents an opportunity for
                   partially fulfilling this recommendation. Development of
                   recreation facilities at this site would also help to
                   relieve congestion at Evans Town Park.

                   An additional opportunity for providing passive recreation
                   exists on the grounds of the Erie County Water Authority
                   Plant at Sturgeon Point.      The 75-acre grounds along the
                   crest of a 701 bluff are extensively wooded. They possess
                   significant   potential    for the development of picnic
                   grounds and trails and scenic vistas of the improved
                   Sturgeon Point Marina.      The popularity of fishing at
                   Sturgeon Point and along Big Sister Creek at Bennett
                   Beach results in seasonal traffic congestion and parking
                   problems.    Sturgeon Point is regionally popular during
                   winter months for ice fishing. Presently only a portion
                   of the unpaved parking area at the Sturgeon Point Marina
                   is plowed in winter.        Frequently, cleared parking is
                   inadequate to meet demand, and cars are f orced to park
                   along Sturgeon Point Road and nearby local streets. These
                   streets, which are narrow under even the best conditions,
                   are narrowed even further during winter due to accumulated
                   plowed snow along the shoulders.         Parked cars further
                   contribute to a condition of congestion and potential
                   hazard.    It is anticipated that proposed improvements at
                   the marina will alleviate the situation.

                   Big Sister Creek is an extemely popular trout and salmon
                   stream, with peak runs occurring in spring and fall.

                      Park, the park is closed to vehicular access from Labor
                      Day to M6inorial Day. Consequently, fishermen are forced
                      to park illegally along Lake Shore Road (which is posted
                      for "No  Parking"). Congestion is frequent and hazards are
                      created.   The Town and County are cooperating in improving
                      parking  and access in the vicinity during peak fishing
                      periods.

               1.     Geologic

                      Throughout geological time, streams have cut through the
                      interbedded shales and limestones of southern
                      Erie County and left Eighteen Mile Creek Gorge, a striking
                      formation with steep walls of an average of 70 feet in
                      height.    The gorge stretches   from the shore of Lake Erie
                      east along the Evans/Hamburg Town Line to the eastern
                      boundary line of the Town of Hamburg, with a portion
                      winding through the northern part of the Town of Eden.
                      The downcutting of the gorge has exposed a continuous
                      sequence of rocks of Devonian age, a period of geological
                      history about 400 million years ago. The exposed shale
                      and limestone layers yield abundant and diversified plant
                      and animal fossils representative of the 360 million year
                      old marine environment that existed over Western Limestone

                      and Wanakah Shale members of the Ludlowville formation
                      estimated at 380 million years old. The entire sequence
                      of rocks can be seen very well by looking out from either
                      the Route 5 or Old Lake Shore Road bridges which cross the
                      creek.

                      There are three reasons why Eighteen Mile Creek Gorge has
                      achieved international recognition as a geologic resource:

                       a. Ex@osure of a continuous sequence of rocks

                          Eighteen Mile Creek Gorge can and has been likened to
                          the Grand Canyon as, similar to the Grand Canyon, a
                          continuous sequence of rocks is exposed which becomes
                          younger    from bottom to top, thereby permitting a
                          detailed study of geologic history over an extended
                          period of time with few gaps. There are few similar
                          places where an opportunity of this nature exists.

                       b. Ouantity of fossils

                          The different formations exposed in the gorge yield a
                          superb quantity of fossils. For example, the Wanakah
                          shale member along the mouth at Lake Erie contains a
                          diversity of fossils including brachipods, bryozoans,
                          gastropods,     pelecypods, ' trilobites,       echinoderms,
                          ostracies, corals, and sponges.

                       c. Ouality of fossils

                          The area is unique due to the amount of well-preserved
                          fossils    that   have    been   found.       Very     little
                          metamorphasis of the rock has taken place, resulting in
                          fossils which are largely unaltered.

                          In addition to the geologic and scenic uniqueness of
                          the area, there are physical characteristics of
                          the gorge that point to the need for preservation. The
                          gorge is a fragile area with much of the walls being
                          made    of loosely packed shale which crumbles very
                          easily.     Everywhere at the bottom of the walls are
                          large amounts of material that have already been eroded
                          or disturbed and have fallen (talus). A soils map of

                                                     76

                       the area indicates that very little of the area either
                       in the bottom or at the crest of the gorge is suitable
                       for development.    The soils in the bottom of the gorge
                       have  a    low potential for development because of
                       flooding hazards.     Many of the soils at the crest of
                       the gorge walls have excessive slope or are susceptible
                       to soil slumping.      Development in proximity to the
                       gorge crest can cause mass movement of soil along the
                       entire   length of the slope of the walls.            This
                       combination of factors suggests that the gorge cannot
                       sustain   significant   encroachment without suffering
                       physical deterioration.

             2.    Archaeologic:

                   The area at the mouth of Eighteen Mile Creek with Lake
                   Erie has also been identified as a potentially significant
                   archaeological site of.statewide importance. The area was
                   identified in July, 1981 on the New York State Museum
                   Archaelogical file.

             3.    Historic:

                   The following structures have been identified
                   through the 1981 Historic Resources survey carried
                   out by Erie County for the Town of Evans. A decision on
                   their State or national significance is pending from the
                   New York State office Parks, Recreation and Historic
                   Preservation.

                   a. Morsman Stone House - 6706 Old Lake Shore Rd.: The
                       house is architecturally significant as an example of a
                       transitional Federal-Greek Revival style design. The
                       house has stepped chimneys and flat stone lintels.

                                                 77

                       b. Spencer Kelloqcr Home "Lochevan" - 7200 Old Lake Shore
                          Rd.:    The house is an unusual example of late 19th
                          century    architecture built by a prominent Buffalo
                          industrialist.     The building exhibits the influence of
                          the English Arts and Crafts movement. The gatehouse
                          has a stylized crenelated tower under which vehicles
                          pass entering the estate.        The segmental arch of the
                          tower is unusual as is the rough-faced stone of which
                          it is constructed.

                       c. Bennett Homestead - Old Lake Shore Rd.: - Original home
                          of Mr. Aldrich purchased in 1830 by Joseph Bennett who
                          added 2 rooms and finished off the inside. Additions
                          were made in 1880-1884 to accomodate summer campers and
                          boarders.     Joseph Bennett ("Deacon Bennett") helped
                          organize the Baptist Church at Evans Center. He worked
                          on the Erie Canal, was a postmaster in Evans, was
                          County Postmaster had a term in Assembly in Albany and
                          was Town of Evans Supervisor for several terms. The
                          house is historically significant for association with
                          the early history of the Town. It lacks architectural
                          significance.

                       d. Darwin Martin Summer House - 6472 Old Lake Shore Rd.:
                          This Prairie School design has significance as the work
                          of Frank Lloyd Wright.         The house dates from the
                          in-between years when Wright had lost much of his
                          popularity in this country. It demonstrates a certain
                          loyalty to Wright among his clients as the architect
                          had built houses for the Martin family in Buffalo in
                          the early years of the century.

                L.     Water-Dependent Uses:

                       The Erie County Water      Authority Sturgeon Point intake

                                                     78

                     plant, the Village of Angola water intake plant, and the
                     Erie County Sewer District No. 2 treatment plant are
                     important water-dependent utilities located within the
                     Evans   waterfront   area.     Elsewhere along the Evans
                     shoreline, existing water-dependent uses are recreational
                     in nature.     These include the Sturgeon Point Marina and
                     Point Breeze Camp boat launches, as well as swimming at
                     the Evans Town Park, Wendt Beach, Bennett Beach, and
                     Evangola State Park (located partly in the Town of Brant).

               M.    Aesthetics:

                     There is considerable variation to the overall aesthetic
                     quality of the Evans waterfront. Public parks and beaches
                     offer fine views of Lake Erie in pleasant surroundings.
                     The Eighteen Mile Creek gorge is a significant scenic
                     asset. Residential areas at Grandview Bay and the estate
                     section of Lake Shore Road also exhibit high aesthetic
                     quality, although views of the lake are restricted.

               N.    Agricultural Districts:

                     Approximately 280 acres of land in the extreme southeast
                     portion of the Waterfront Revitalization Area are part of
                     the 1251 acre Brant-Evans agricultural district No. 2.
                     The district, established in 1975 and reviewed in 1984,
                     contains 761 acres of tilled land. Most land is devoted
                     to support dairy herds.       Land within the district is
                     suitable for vineyards; 91% of the soils in the district
                     can support agricultural activities if adequate drainage
                     is provided. Refer to Map 8 for a graphic depiction of the
                     district's location.

                         CRITICAL ISSUES:

                         Although five public parks provide access to the Evans
                         shoreline,    these    parks primarily service a regional
                         constituency.    In addition, all parks charge nominal (i.e.
                         $1   or    $2)   user fees.      A need exists to provide
                         neighborhood      -     oriented     recreation      facilities,
                         particularly in the densely developed Lake Erie Beach
                         neighborhood (a majority of whose 4300 residents are
                         low-to-moderate income). For these residents, the nearest
                         public recreation facilities are located two miles away at
                         either Evans Town Park or Evangola State Park.                 An
                         opportunity exists in the vicinity of Muddy Creek              to
                         transform    an underutilized and unappealing beachfront
                         parcel into an attractive waterfront park located in the
                         heart of the Lake Erie-Beach neighborhood.

                         An opportunity exists at Sturgeon Point for the creation
                         of a successful residential development. Erie County now
                         owns 55 acres of undeveloped land between the Sturgeon
                         Point Marina, and Erie County Water Aurhority Plant. This
                         land includes a 14001 length of shoreline along the crest
                         of a steep 701 high bluff and commands superb views of the
                         Lake    Erie    shore.     Development of this land would
                         capitalize upon an underutilized resource and generate tax
                         revenues for the Town.          Due to the present lack of
                         sanitary sewers serving the site, such development is
                         unlikely to occur at a significant level for 10-15 years.
                         Coupled with a modest projected Town population growth
                         rate of roughly 0.3% annually, during the next 20 years,
                         full development of the site will be feasible only over
                         the long term.

                         Preservation of the unique ecological and archaeological

                      resources found in the Eighteen Mile Creek Gorge is of
                      utmost importance.    Public access to this area, while
                      highly  desirable, must nevertheless occur only under
                      strictly controlled conditions.     The preparation of a
                      resource management plan jointly with the Town of Hamburg
                      could serve as a vehicle to address public access and
                      preservation   issues in this environmentally sensitive

                      area.

              Policy 1       Restore, revitalize, and redevelop deteriorated
                             and     underutilized     waterfront     areas     for
                             commercial,industrial, cultural, recreational and
                             other compatible uses.

              Policy 1A      Revitalize the Lake Erie Beach residential and

                             commercial area.

              Policy 1B      Redevelop Sturgeon Point Marina.

              Policy    1A  is intended to focus capital resources on -the
              redevelopment of the Lake Erie Beach neighborhood into a quality
              lakefront residential community. The neighborhood is designated
              as a Community Development Block Grant Target Area within the
              Erie County Consortium. (See Inventory and Analysis, subsection
              II.J. Public Access and Recreation for further description.)

              The   following    guidelines   will be used to determine the
              consistency of a proposed action with this policy.

              1.    When an action is proposed to take place in the Lake Erie
                    Beach or Sturgeon Point areas, the following guidelines
                    will be used:

                    a. Priority should be given to uses which are dependent on
                        or enhanced by a location adjacent to the water.

                    b.  The action should enhance existing and anticipated
                        uses.    For example, a new highway should be designed
                        and constructed so as to serve the potential access
                        needs   for   desirable    recreational    development at
                        Sturgeon Point and Lake Erie Beach.

                                                91

                       C. The action should serve as a catalyst to private
                          investment in the area.

                       d. The action should improve the deteriorated condition of
                          an area and, at a minimum, must not cuase further
                          deterioration.    For example, a building could not be
                          abandoned without protecting it againt vandalism and/or
                          structural decline.

                       e. The action must lead to development which is compatible
                          with the character of the area, with consideration
                          given   to scale, architectural style, density, and
                          intensity of use.

                       f. The action should have the potential to improve the
                          existing economic base of the community, and, at a
                          minimum, must not jeopardize this base.

                       g. The action should improve adjacent and upland views of
                          the water, and, at a minimum, must not affect these
                          views in an insensitive manner;

                       h. The action should have the potential to improve the
                          possibilities for multiple uses of sites within these

                          areas.

                       If an action is proposed to take place outside of the
                       areas covered by this policy, and is either within the
                       Town of Evans, Town of Hamburg or Town of Brant, the
                       involved Town, State and/or Federal agency must determine
                       if it is feasible to take the action within the areas
                       covered by this policy. If feasible, strong consideration
                       should be given to taking the action in such areas. If
                       not feasible, appropriate steps must be taken to ensure

                                                   92

                   that the action does not cause further deterioration of
                   the areas covered by this policy.

             See also Policies 19,20 and 21 and Section IV, Proposed Uses and
             Proposed Projects.

             Policy 2       Facilitate the siting of water dependent uses and
                            facilities on or adjacent to coastal waters.

             There is a     finite amount of waterfront space suitable for
             development purposes.      Consequently, while the demand for any
             given piece of property will fluctuate in response to varying
             economic and social conditions, on a Townwide basis the only
             reasonable expectation is that long-term demand for waterfront
             space will intensify. To ensure that such water-dependent uses
             can continue to be accommodated, public agencies will avoid
             undertaking, funding, or approving non-water-dependent uses when
             such uses would preempt the reasonably foreseeable development
             of water-dependent uses; furthermore, such agencies will utilize
             appropriate    existing   programs to encourage water-dependent
             activities.

             In general, the following water dependent uses and facilities
             are appropriate to the Town of Evans waterfront area:

             1.    Uses which depend on the utilization of resources found in
                   coastal waters (for example: fishing, mining of sand and
                   gravel, mariculture activities);

             2.    Recreational activities which depend on access to coastal
                   waters (for example: swimming, fishing, boating, wildlife
                   viewing);

             3.    Structures needed for navigational purposes(for example:
                   locks, dams, lighthouses);

                                             93

                 4.    Flood and erosion protection structures (for example:
                       breakwaters, bulkheads);

                 5.    Facilities needed to store and service boats and ships
                       (for example; marinas, boat repair, boat construction
                       yards);

                 6.    Utilities    requiring    large   quantities    of water for
                       processing and/or cooling purposes (for example: sewer and
                       water treatment plants, hydroelectric power plants, pumped
                       storage power plants);

                 7.    Scientific/educational activities which, by their nature,
                       require access to coastal waters (for example: certain
                       meteorological and oceanographic activities) ; and

                 a.    Support facilities which are necessary for the successful
                       functioning    of   permitted    water dependent uses (for
                       example: parking lots, snack bars, first aid stations,
                       short term storage facilities). Though these uses must be
                       near the given water dependent use they should, as much as
                       possible, be sited inland from the water dependent use
                       rather than on the shore.

                 More specifically, in the foreseeable future, water-dependent
                 uses accommodated within the Evans waterfront are expected to be
                 primarily a continuation of existing uses with some additional
                 development of water dependent recreation facilities at Sturgeon
                 Point Marina and Lake Erie Beach. Existing water-dependent uses
                 include: Sturgeon Point Marina; boat launches at Purvis Landing,
                 Wendt Road and Point Breeze Camp; swimming beaches at Evans Town
                 Park, Wendt Beach Park, Bennett Beach, Evangola State Park, and
                 the Lake Erie Beach Property Owners Association park; Erie
                 County Sturgeon Point Water Intake Plant; Erie County Sewer
                 District No. 2 treatment plant; and the Village of Angola water
                 intake plant.

                                                    94

              In addition to water dependent uses, uses which are enhanced by
              a waterfront location are encouraged to locate along the shore,
              though   not    at   the expense of water-dependent uses.             A
              water-enhanced use is defined as a use that has no critical
              dependence    on   obtaining    a    waterfront location, but the
              profitability of the use and/or the enjoyment level of the users
              would be increased significantly if the use were adjacent to, or
              had visual access to the waterfront. A restaurant which uses
              good site design to take advantage of a waterfront view, and a
              golf course which incorporatrs the coastline into the course
              design, are two examples of water-enhanced uses.

              If there is no immediate demand for a water dependent use in a
              given   area but a future demand is reasonably foreseable,
              temporary    non-water-dependent     uses   are    preferable    to a
              non-water-dependent     use which involves an irreversible, or
              nearly irreversible, commitment of land. Parking lots, passive
              recreational     facilities,      outdoor     storage     areas,    and
              non-permanent structures are uses or facilities which are likely
              to be considered temporary non-water-dependent uses.

              New water-dependent and water-enhanced uses to be developed
              within the Town of Evans waterfront areas are to be sited and
              designed, so that they enhance, or at least do not detract from,
              the surrounding area and avoid adverse impacts on significant
              coastal resources.       Consideration should be given to such
              factors as the protection of nearby residential areas from
              odors, noise, and traffic and the preservation of natural
              erosion protective features.        Affirmative approaches should be
              employed so that water-dependent and water enhanced uses and
              adjacent uses will complement one another. In addition, to help
              ensure    the    future   availability     of   waterfront land for
              water-dependent uses, consideration should be given in siting
              and design of any development on land adjacent to the water, to

      40

                                                  95

                the reservation of land suitable to accommodate the long-term
                space needs of water-dependent uses, for example, by devoting
                such land to open space or temporary non-water-dependent uses.

                Policy 3        Further develop the State's major ports of Albany,
                                Buffalo,   New   York, Ogdensburg and Oswego as
                                centers of commerce and industry, and encourage
                                the siting, in these port areas, including those
                                under the jurisiction of State public authorities,
                                of land use and development which is essential to
                                or in support of the waterborne transportation of
                                cargo and people.

                This State Coastal Policy is not applicable to the Town of
                Evans waterfront area, which does not include one of the State's
                major ports.

                Policy 4        Strengthen the economic base of smaller harbor
                                areas    by   encouraging    the   development     and
                                enhancement   of   those    traditional    uses    and
                                activities which have provided such areas with
                                their unique maritime identity.

                This State Coastal Policy is not applicable to the Town of
                Evans, which does not include a small harbor, as defined by this
                policy.

                Policy 5        Encourage the location of development in areas
                                where public services and facilities essential to
                                such development are adequate, except when such
                                development has special functional requirements or
                                other   characteristics    which   necessitates its

                                location in other coastal areas.

                                                    96

              The large scale investment of public funds for constructing
              sewer and water lines as well as an efficient transportation
              network requires a commitment by the Town to channel development
              into areas which can best accommodate the service needs of that
              development.    This eliminates the future need of extending
              service areas into outlying regions, while foregoing the excess
              capacity of existing treatment plants.         The public is well
              served by a policy of infill development due to the cost savings
              both in tax dollars and in reduced fuel consumption. The latter
              occurs from the closer proximity of work, home, and in the case
              of waterfront development, recreational areas.

              As noted in the inventory section, the Town of Evans waterfront
              is fully serviced by a public water system and has a sound
              transportation system which can easily accommodate existing
              development.    The waterfront is entirely within a public sewer
              district, but   service is not presently available to lands north
              of Wendt Beach Park to approximately Delameter Road.

              For any action that would result in large-scale development or
              an action which would facilitate or serve future developmnt, a
              determination shall be made as to whether the action is within,
              contiguous to, or in close proximity to an area of concentrated
              development   where    infrastructure and public servicers are
              adequate.   The following guidelines shall be used in making that
              determination.

              1.    A potential development site may be considered to be
                    within, contiguous to, or in close proximity to an area of
                    concentrated    development,   if   three or more of the
                    following conditions are met:

                    a. Population density of the area surrounding or adjacent
                       to the proposed site exceeds 1,000. persons per square
                        mile;

                                                97

                      b. Fewer   than 50% of the buildable site (i.e.,sites
                         meeting lot area requirements under the Town's zoning
                         regulations) within one mile radius of the proposed
                         site are vacant;

                      c. The proposed site is served by or is near to public or
                         private sewer and water lines;

                      d. Public transportation service is available within one
                         mile of the proposed site; and

                      e. A    significant   concentration   of commercial and/or
                         industrial activity is within one-half mile of the
                         proposed site.

                2.    The following points shall be considered in assessing the
                      adequacy of infrastructure and public services for a
                      potential site:

                      a. Streets and highways serving the proposed site can
                         safely    accommodate   the peak traffic generated by
                         proposed land development;

                      b. The proposed development's water needs (consumptive and
                         fire fighting) can be met by the existing water supply
                         system;

                      c. Public sewage disposal systems can accommodate the
                         wastes generated by the proposed development;

                      d. Energy    needs   of the proposed development can be
                         accommodated by existing utility systems;

                      e. Stormwater    runoff   from the proposed site can be
                         accommodated by on-site and/or off-site facilities; and

                                                   98

                    f. Schools, police and fire protection, and health and
                       social services are adequate to meet the needs of the
                       population expected to live, work, shop, or conduct
                       business in the area as a result of the proposed
                       development.

             It is recognized that certain forms of development may and/or
             should occur at locations which are not within or near areas of
             concentrated development. Thus, this coastal development policy
             does not apply to the following types of development projects
             and activities.

             1.     Economic activities which depend upon sites at or near
                    locations where natural resources are present.

             2.     Development    which    by    its nature is enhanced by a
                    non-urbanized      setting,     e-g-,     a   resort     complex,
                    campgrounds.

             3.     Development which is designed to be a self-contained
                    activity,e.g., a small college, religious retreat.

             4.     Water-dependent uses with site requirements not compatible
                    with    this policy or when alternative sites are not
                    available.

             5.     Development which becuase of its isolated location and
                    small-scale has little or no potential to generate and/or
                    encourage further land development.

             6.     Uses and/or activities which because of public safety
                    considerations should be located away from populous areas.

             7.     Rehabilitation or restoration of existing structures and
                    facilities.

                                                 99

                8.    Development   projects    which   are   essential   to    the
                      construction   and/or operation of the above uses and
                      activities.

                Policy 6       Expedite permit procedures in order to facilitate
                               the siting of development activities at suitable
                               locations.

                The   confusion, time delay, and costs associated with the
                issuance of permits required from all government levels prior to
                approval   of   waterfront    development   is not conducive to
                attracting public or private investment along the shoreline.
                The   Town   of Evans will utilize existing laws to ensure
                compliance with the Town waterfront program, and when new
                regulations may be necessary, will coordinate and combine review
                periods as well as public hearing requirements to the maximum
                extent possible.

                For specific types of development activities and in areas
                suitable for such development, Town, State, and Federal agencies
                will make every effort to coordinate and synchronize existing
                permit   procedures and regulatory program, as long as' the
                integrity of the regulations' objectives is not jeopardized.
                Efforts will be made to ensure that each agency's procedures and
                programs are synchronized between levels of government, and if
                necessary,    legislative   and/or programmaic changes will be
                recommended.

                When proposing new regulations, an agency will determine the
                feasibility of incoporating the regulations within existing
                procedures, if this reduces the burden on a particular type of
                development    and will not jeopardize the integrity of the
                regulations' objectives.

                                                100

              FISH AND WILDLIFE POLICIES

              Policy 7       Significant coastal fish and wildlife habitats, as
                             identified on the coastal area map, shall be
                             protected,    preserved,    and,    where     practical,
                             restored so as to maintain their viability as
                             habitats.

              The State Policy is not applicable at this time, as habitats of
              Statewide significance have not yet been officially designated.

              .Policy 7A     Locally important fish habitats at Eighteen Mile
                             Creek and Big Sister Creek shall be protected,
                             preserved, and restored where practicable.

              The Eighteen Mile Creek habitat within the waterfront area is
              located from the mouth of the creek inland to Old Lake Shore
              Road.    This is a distance of one-third mile. It has been
              virtually undeveloped and is characterized by steep, sheer
              cliffs of 701 - 1001 in height. The creek is one of the few
              major tributaries to Lake Erie and has a relatively undisturbed
              border of mature vegetation. The creek is significant, because
              it provides angling opportunities for salmonids and other fish
              species    ascending the streams to spawn.            Further details
              regarding Eighteen Mile Creek can be found in the Inventory and
              Analysis section.

              The Big Sister Creek habitat is located from its mouth inland
              through the County-maintained Bennett Beach Park to Old Lake
              Shore Road.       It averages about 15 feet in width. The creek is
              significant due to spring and fall runs of salmon and trout.
              For a more complete description of the Big Sister Creek habitat,
              reference should be made to the inventory section.

                                                101

                In order to protect and preserve these habitats, actions shall
                not be undertaken which would destroy or signficantly impair the
                viability of the area as habitats. Any activities that would
                degrade water quality, increase temperature or turbidity, alter
                depths, or reduce water flows in Eighteen Mile Creek or Big
                Sister Creek may have an adverse impact on the fisheries using
                the habitats.       These impacts would be most detrimental during
                the salmonid runs.         Generally, salmon run from late August
                through     November, while steelhead trout run from November
                through May. Smallmouth bass spawn in May through early June
                with hatching ocurring in late June and early July.

                Policy 8        Protect fish and wildlife resources in the coastal

                                area from the introduction of hazardous wastes and
                                other pollutants which bio-accumulate in the food
                                chain or which cause significant sublethal or
                                lethal effect on those resources.

                Hazardous     wastes are unwanted by-products of manufacturing
                processes and are generally characterized as being flammable,
                corrosive, reactive, or toxic.           More specifically, hazardous
                waste is defined in Environmental Conservation Law Section

                27-0901.3 as follows:

                           Hazardous waste means a waste or combination of wastes
                           which   because    of its quantity, concentration, or
                           physical, chemical or infectious characteristics may:

                           a.   cause, or significantly contribute to an increase
                                in     mortality    or   an    increase    in    serious
                                irreversible,     or     incapacitating       reversible
                                illness; or

                           b.   Pose a substantial present or potential hazard to
                                human health or the environment when improperly
                                treated,     stored,     transported,     disposed     or
                                otherwise managed.

                                                  102

              A list of hazardous wastes (6 NYCRR Part 371) has been adopted
              by the NYS DEC.

              The handling (storage, transport, treatment and disposal) of the
              materials included on this list is being strictly regulated in
              New York State to prevent their entry or introduction into the
              environment,    particularly     into the State's air, land and
              waters.     Such control should effectively minimize possible
              contamination of and bio-accumulation in the State's coastal
              fish and wildlife resources at levels that cause mortality or
              create physiological and behavioral disorders.

              Other pollutants are those conventional wastes, generated from
              point and non-point sources, and not identified as hazardous
              wastes, but controlled through other State laws.

              Policy 9.       Expand   recreational use of fish and wildlife
                              resources in coastal areas by increasing access to
                              existing resources, supplementing existing stocks,
                              and developing new resources. Such efforts shall
                              be made in a manner which ensures the protection
                              of   renewable fish and wildlife resources and
                              considers other activities dependent on them.

              The educational and recreational value of coastal areas having a
              significant concentration of fish and wildlife resources is of
              extreme important to the. general public. This is especially
              important in the Eighteen Mile Creek gorge and Lake Erie waters
              offshore from Sturgeon Poing, as well as Big Sister Creek. The
              former    represents    a    high quality fishing spot within a
              geologically significant environment. The combination of these
              factors presents unique opportunities for public enjoyment.
              Sturgeon Point waters offer one of the most popular walleye and
              yellow perch fishing areas in Lake Erie. Sturgeon Point is also
              the most popular fishing location in Erie County, especially for
              yellow perch fishing.

                                                 103

                The recreational use of these resources is to be maintained and
                increased, primarily through continuation of the State fish
                stocking   programs    and   provision of increased access and
                supporting facilities, as further described under policies 1,
                19, 20, 21 and 22. Any efforts to increase recreational use of
                these resources, however, must be undertaken in a manner which
                ensures the protection of the fish and wildlife resources and
                which takes into consideration other activities dependent on
                these resources. Such efforts must also take into account sound
                resource management considerations. Such considerations include
                biology of the species, carrying capacity of the resource,
                public demand, costs, and available technology.

                The following additional guidelines should be considered by
                Town, State, and Federal agencies in determining the consistency
                of a proposed action with the above policy.

                1.     Consideration should be made as to whether an action will
                       impede   existing or future utilization of the Town's
                       recreational fish and wildlife resources.

                2.     Efforts   to increase access to recreational fish and

                       wildlife resources should not lead to overutilization of
                       that   resource   or   cause impairment of the habitat.
                       Sometimes such impairment can be more subtle than actual
                       physical damage to the habitat. For example, increased
                       human presence can deter animals from using the habitat

                       area.

                3.     The impacts of increasing access to recreational fish and
                       wildlife resources should be determined on a case-by-case
                       basis, consulting the habitat description (see Policy 7),
                       if appropriate, and/or conferring with a trained fish and
                       wildlife biologist.

                                                104

              4.   Any public. or private sector initiatives to supplement
                   existing stocks (e.g., stocking a stream with fish reared
                   in a hatchery) or develop new resources (e.g., creating
                   private fee-hunting or fee-fishing facilities) must comply
                   with existing State law.

              Policy 10      Further develop commercial finfish, shellfish and
                             crustacean resources in the coastal area by: (i)
                             encouraging    the    construction    of    new,    or
                             improvement of existing on-shore
                             commercial   fishing facilities; (ii) increasing
                             marketing of the State's seafood products; and
                             (iii) maintaining adequate stocks and expanding
                             aquaculture facilities.     Such efforts shall be in
                             a manner which ensures the protection of such
                             renewable   fish    resources and considers other
                             activities dependent on them.

              This State Coastal Policy is not applicable to the Town of
              Evans. commercial fishing and fish processing activities do not
              currently exist in the Town and are unlikely to develop in the
              future.

              FLOODING AND EROSION POLICIES

              Policy 11      Buildings and other structures will be sited
                             in the coastal area so as to minimize damage to
                             property and the endangering of human lives caused
                             by flooding and ercsion.

              Policy 11A     Buildings and other structures within the special
                             flood   hazard    areas along Big Sister, Little
                             Sister,   Muddy, Pike, and Reisch Creeks, Fern
                             Brook, and two unnamed streams will be sited in
                             the coastal area so as to minimize damage to
                             property and human life.

                                               105

                The public health and safety is continuously threatened by
                flooding.     The cost and endangerment to human life which can
                result from such natural occurrences requires utmost attention
                by public agencies and jurisdictions.

                This policy applies to those areas identified as Special Flood
                Hazards on the Flood Insurance Study maps filed for the Town of
                Evans and dated September 16, 1982. (Floodplains are depicted
                generally on Maps 5A-C in the Inventory and Analysis section.)

                The following guidelines should be used in determining the
                consistency of a proposed action with this policy.

                A.     General standards within flood hazard areas:

                       1. Anchoring: %

                          a.    All new construction and substantial improvements
                                shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse
                                or lateral movement of the structure.

                          b.    All mobile homes shall be anchored to resist
                                flotation,   collapse    or   lateral    movement by
                                providingover-the-top and frame ties to ground
                                anchors. Special requirements shall be that:

                                (1)    Over-the-top ties shall be provided at each
                                       of the corners of the mobile home, with two
                                       (2) additional ties per side at intermediate

                                six (6) feet above the ground level.

                           C.   No mobile home shall be place in a floodway,
                                except in an existing mobile home park or an
                                existing mobile home subdivision.

                 Where human lives may be endangered by major lake storms, all
                 necessary    emergency    preparedness     measures shall be taken
                 including disaster preparedness planning.

                 Policy 12      Activities or development in the coastal area will
                                be undertaken so as to minimize damage to natural
                                resources and property from flooding and erosion
                                by     protecting     natural    protective     features
                                including    beaches, dunes, barrier islands and
                                bluffs.     Primary dunes will be protected from all
                                encroachments     that could impair their natural
                                protective capacity.

                 Beaches, blufs, and other natural protective features help
                 safeguard coastal lands and property from damage, as well as
                 reduce the danger to human life, resulting from flooding and
                 erosion.     Excavation of coastal features, improperly designed
                 structures,   inadequate site planning, or other similar actions
                 which fail to recognize their fragile nature and high protective
                 values,     lead   to   the    weakening or destruction of these
                 landforms.     Activities or development in, or in proximity to,
                 natural protective features must ensure that all such adverse
                 effects are minimized.

                 This policy shall apply to the natural erosion protective
                 features within the Town of Evans waterfront area.                 These

                                                    110

             include nearshore areas, bluffs, and beaches. Bluffs and/or
             beaches are found along virtually the entire Town shoreline, as
             previously described in the inventory and Analysis section.

             The following guidelines shall be used in determining the
             consistency of proposed actions with this policy. In
             general, any activity or development in, or in proximity to, a
             natural protective feature that may be p        -ermitted under the
             following guidelines must be consistent with other applicable
             policies of the LWRP and must prevent, if possible, or minimize
             ariy adverse effects on natural protective features and their
             protective functions and values.

             1.     NEARSHORE AREAS: Those lands under water beginning at the
                    mean low water line and extending waterward in a direction
                    perpendicular to the shoreline to a point where mean low
                    water depth is 15 feet, or to a horizontal distance of
                    1,000 feet from the mean low waterline, whichever is
                    greater.

                    a. Excavating, mining or dredging which diminishes erosion
                       protection afforded by a natural protective feature in
                       a nearshore area is prohibited, except that dredging
                       may be permitted for construction or maintenance of
                       navigation channels, bypassing sand around natural and
                       manmade obstructions, or artificial beach nourishment.

                    b. Clean sand or gravel of a compatible type and size is
                       the   only   material which may be deposited within
                       nearshore areas.

             2.     BEACH AREAS:      The zone of unconsolidated material that
                    extends landward from the mean low water line to the place
                    where   there    is   a marked change in a material or

                       physiographic,    form,   or    to   the    line of permanent
                       vegetation, whichever is most waterward, except where dune
                       formations are present, the beach area shall extend to the
                       landward toe of the dune formation.

                       a. Excavation     or mining which diminishes the erosion
                           protection afforded by beaches is prohibited.

                       b.  Materials may be deposited on beaches only for the
                           purpose of expanding or stabilizing the beaches. Clean
                           sand or gravel of a compatible type and size is the
                           only material which may be deposited within beach

                           areas.

                       c.  Ac:@ive bird nesting and breeding areas must not be
                           disturbed unless such disturbance is pursuant to a
                           specific   wildlife    management activity approved in
                           writing by the NYS DEC.

                3.     BLUFF:     Any bank or cliff with a precipitous drop or
                       rounded face adjoining a beach or a body of water. The
                       waterward limit of a bluff is the landward limit of its
                       contiguous beach. Where no beach is present, the waterward
                       limit is mean low water. The landward limit is 25 feet
                       landward of the receding edge.

                       a. The following activities are prohibited:

                           (1) Excavation or mining of bluffs, except to provide
                                 shoreline   access    and in accordance with the
                                 provisions of this policy.

                           (2)   Any grading, excavtion, or other soil disturbance
                                 conducted   on a bluff that causes or directs
                                 surface water over  the receding edge.

                                                    119

                       (3) All development unless specifically allowed by the
                            provisions of this subsection of this policy.

                   b.  Subject to the general provisions of this policy and

                      Act (Environmental Conservation Law, Section 3-0301 &
                      Section 34-0108) and its implementing regulations (6 NYCRR
                      Part 505).

                Policy 13      The   construction or reconstruction of erosion
                               protection structures shall be undertaken only if
                               they have a reasonable probability of controlling
                               erosion for at least thirty years as demonstrated
                               in   design   and    construction. standards and/or
                               assured maintenance or replacement programs.

                Erosion protection structures are widely used throughout the
                Town's    coastal area. However, because of improper design,
                construction and maintenance standards, many fail to give the
                protection which they are presumed to provide. As a result,
                developement is sited in areas where it is subject to damage or
                loss due to erosion. This policy will help ensure the reduction
                of such damage or loss.

                This policy applies within DEC-identified Erosion Hazard Areas
                to    the construction, reconstruction, or modificationof any
                structures specifically designed to reduce or prevent erosion,

                                                  114

              such as a groin, jetty, sewall, revetment, breakwater, or
              artificial beach nourishment project.

              Guidelines for evaluating an action's consistency with this
              provision are as follows:

              1.    The construction, modification, or restoration of eros        ion
                    protection structures must:

                    a. Not be likely to cause a measurable increase in erosion
                        at the development site or at other locations.

                    b.  Minimize and, if possible, prevent advrse effects upon
                        natural    protective      features,     existing     erosion
                        protection structures, and natural resources such as
                        significant fish habitats.

              2.    All, erosion protection structures must be designed and
                    constructed according to generally accepted engineering
                    principals    which have demonstrated success or, w@ere
                    sufficient data is not currently available, a likelihood
                    of    success    in   controlling long-term erosion.          The
                    protective measures must have a reasonable probability of
                    controlling erosion on the immediate site for at least 30

                    years.

              3.    All materials used in such structures must be durable and
                    capable    of    withstanding    inundation,    wave     impacts,
                    weathering, and other effects of storm conditions for a
                    minimum    of thirty (30) years.          Individual component
                    materials may have a working life of less than thirty
                    years only when a maintenance program ensures that
                    they    will    be   regularly maintained and replaced as
                    necessary to attain the required thirty years of erosion
                    protection.

                                                 115

                POlicV 14      Activities    and    development     including    the
                               construction    or    reconstruction    of    erosion
                               protection structures, shall be undertaken so that
                               there will be no measurable increase in erosion or
                               flooding   at   the site of such activities or
                               development, or at other locations.

                Erosion   and flooding are processes which occur naturally.
                However, by his actions, man can increase the severity and
                adverse effects of thoe processes, causing damage to, or loss of
                property, and endangering human lives. Those actions include:
                the use of erosion protection structures such as groins, or the
                use of impermeable docks which block the littoral transport of
                sediment to adjacent shorelands, thus increasing their rate of
                recession; the failure to observe proper drainage or land
                restoration practices, thereby causing run-off and the erosion
                and weakening of shorelands; and the placing of structures in
                identified floodways so that the base flood level is'increased
                causing damage in otherwise hazard-free areas.

                See also Policies 13 and 33.

                Policy 15      Mining, excavation or dredging in coastal waters
                               shall not significantly interfere with the natural
                               coastal processes which supply beach materials to
                               land   adjacent   to   such waters and shall be
                               undertaken in a manner which will not cause an

                               increase in erosion of such land.

                Coastal processes, including the movement of.beach materials by
                water, and any mining, excavation or dredging in nearshore or
                offshore waters which changes the supply and net flow of such
                materials can deprive shorelands of their natural regenerative
                powers.     Such  raining,  excavation   and dredging should be

                                                 116

              accomplished in a manner so as not to cause a reduction of
              supply, and thus an increase of erosion, to such shorelands.
              Offshore raining is a future alternative option to land mining
              for sand and gravel deposits which are needed to support
              building and other industries.

              Policy 16      Public   funds shall only be used for erosion
                             protective structures where necessary to protect
                             human life, and new development which requires a
                             location within or adjacent to an erosion hazard
                             area   to   be    able   to function, or existing
                             development; and only where the public benefits
                             outweigh the long term monetary and other costs
                             including the potential for increasing erosion and
                             adverse effects on natural protective features.

              Public funds are used for a variety of purposes on the Town's
              shorelines.     This policy recognizes the public need for.the
              protection of human life and existing investment in development
              or new development which requires a location in proximity to the
              coastal area or in adjacent waters to be able to function.
              However,    it   also recognizes the adverse impacts of such
              activities and development on the rate of erosion and on natural
              protective features and requires that careful analysis be made
              of such benefit and long-term costs prior to expending public
              funds.

              Policy 17      Whenever possible, use non-structural measures to
                             minimize damage to natural resources and property
                             from flooding and erosion.        Such measures shall
                             include:    (i)   the set back of buildings and
                             structures; (ii) the planting of vegetation and
                             the installation of sand fencing and draining;
                             (iii)    the reshaping of bluffs; and (iv) the

                                                117

                               flood-proofing of buildings or their elevation
                               above the base flood level.

                This policy recognizes both the potential adverse impacts of
                flooding   and    erosion   upon   development and upon natural
                protective    features in the coastal area as well as the costs of
                protection    against those hazards which structural measures
                entail.

                This policy shall apply to the planning, siting and design of
                .proposed activities     and development, including mesures to
                protect existing activities and development.          To ascertain
                consistency with the policy, it must be determined if any one,
                or a combination of, non-structural measures would afford the
                degree of protection appropriate both to the character and
                purpose of the activity or development, and to the hazard. If
                non-strucural    measures   are determined to offer sufficient
                protection, then consistency with the policy would require the
                use of such measures, whenever possible.

                In determining whether or not non-structural measures to protect
                against erosion or flooding will afford the degree of protection
                appropriate, an analysis, and if necessary, other materials such
                as plans or sketches of the activity or development, of the
                site and of the alternative measures should be prepared to allow
                an assessment to be made.

                Non-strucural measures shall include, but not be limited to the
                following measures:

                1.    Within identified Coastal Erosion Hazard Areas:

                      a. Restrictions on the location of development as provided
                         in Policy 12.

                                                118

                   b. Strengthening of coastal landforms by such means as:

                       (1) planting of appropriate vegetation on dunes and
                            bluffs,

                       (2)  reshaping of bluffs to achieve an appopriate angle
                            of repose so as to reduce the potential for
                            slumping and to permit the planting of stabilizing
                            vegetation,and

                       (3)  installing drainage systems on bluffs to reduce
                            runoff and internal seepage of waters which erode
                            or weaken the landforms.

             2.    Within identified Flood Hazard Areas:

                    a. Avoidance of risk or damage from flooding by the siting
                       of buidlings outside the hazard area.

                    b. Flood-proofing of buildings or their elevation above

                       the base-flood level.

             See also  Policy 11.

             GENERAL POLICY

             Policy 18      To   safeguard    the vital economic, social and
                            environmental interests of the State and of its
                            citizens, proposed major actions in the coastal
                            area   must    give   full consideration to those
                            interests, and to the safeguards which the State
                            has   established    to   protect valuable coastal

                            resource areas.

     40

                                               119

                Proposed major actions may be undertaken in the coastal area if
                they will not significantly impair valuable coastal waters and
                resources, thus frustrating the achievement of the purposes of
                the safeguards which the State has established to protect those
                waters -and resources.      Proposed actions must take into account
                the social, economic and environmental interests of the State
                and its citizens in such matters that would affect natural
                resources,      water   levels    and    flows,   shoreline     damage,
                hydro-electric power generation, and recreation.

                PUBLIC ACCESS AND RECREATION POLICIES

                Policy 19       Protect, maintain, and increase the level and
                                types of access to public water-related recreation
                                resources and facilities so that these resources
                                and facilities may be fully utilized in accordance
                                with reasonably anticipated public recreation need
                                and   the    protection    of historic and natural
                                ,resources.    In providing such access, priority
                                shall   be    given    to   public beaches, boating
                                facilities, fishing areas and waterfront parks.

                Policv 19A      Maintain the level of access to Evans Town Park,
                                Erie County Wendt Beach Park, and Evangola State
                                Park.

                Policv 19B      Improve access opportunities at Bennett Beach,
                                Sturgeon Point Marina, Purvis Landing, and Wendt
                                Beach Road Boat Launch.

                Existing     public    water-related     recreation    resources     and
                facilities within the Town of Evans (described further in the
                Inventory and Analysis, II.J. Public Access and Recreation,and
                shown on Maps 2A-C) include: Evans Town Park, Sturgeon Point

                                                    120

             Marina, Purvis Landing, and Wendt Road Boat Launch (all Town
             facilities); Erie County Wendt Beach Park; Bennett Beach (owned
             by the City of Buffalo, operated by Erie County); and Evangola
             State Park. Wendt Beach Park, Bennett Beach, and Evangola State
             Park are major regional recreational facilities; Sturgeon Point
             Marina is the on    ly publicly maintained marina between Buffalo
             and Dunkirk;    Evans Town Park serves Town and County residents;
             and Purvis Landing (boat launch ramp) and the Wendt Road Boat
             Launch provide much needed supplemental boat launching capacity.
             It is essential that public access to these facilities be
             maintained, where adequate, or be improved, where needed.

             Policy 19A indicates those facilities where existing access is
             adequate and shall be maintained. Policy 19B indicates
             those facilities where access opportunities are to be improved.
             In particular, at Bennett Beach, off-season (fall and winter)
             parking accommodations at the park or other parking arrangements
             for people fishing Big Sister Creek wi       11 be provided, as
             feasible.     At Sturgeon Point Marina, improved parking, boat
             access and    vehicular access will be provided as part of the
             future development of the facility. At the Purvis Landing and
             Wendt Road boat launches, boat access will be improved through
             rehabilitation of existing ramps.        The order of priority for
             making improvements is Sturgeon Point Marina, Bennett Beach, and
             Purvis Landing and Wendt Road boat launches.

             In addition, as feasible and subject to the relevant guidelines
             given below, public transportation services to major recreation
             facilities    should   be increased, so as to improve access
             opportunities for the non-automobile-owning public and reduce
             traffic congestion that may impair public acces.

             The following additional guidelines will be used in determining
             the consistency of a proposed action with this policy:

                                              121

                      The existing access from adjacent or proximate public
                      lands or facilities to public water-related recreation
                      resources and facilities shall not be reduced, nor shall
                      the possibility of increasing access in the future from
                      adjacent or proximate public lands or facilities to public
                      water-related   recreation   resources and facilities be
                      eliminated, unless in the latter case, estimates of future
                      use of these resources and facilities are too low to
                      justify maintaining or providing increased public acces or
                      unless such actions are found to be necessary or
                      beneficial by the public body having jurisdiction over
                      such access as the result of a reasonable justification of
                      the need to meet systematic objectives.

                      The following is an explanation of the terms used in the
                      above guidelines:

                      a. Access     the ability and right of the public to reach
                         and use"public coastal lands and waters.

                      b. Public    water-related    recreation     resources     or
                         facilities- all public lands or facilities that are
                         suitable for passive or active recreation that requires
                         either water or a waterfront location or is enhanced by
                         a waterfront location.

                      c. Public lands or facilities - lands or facilities held
                         by   State   or   local government in fee simple or
                         less-than-fee simple ownership and to which the public
                         has access or could have acces, including underwater

                         lands.

                      d. A reduction in the existing level of public access -
                         includes but is not limited to the following:

                                                 122

                        (1) The    number   of    parking    spaces at a public
                             water-relatd recreation resource or facility is
                             significantly reduced.

                        (2)  The service level of public transportation to a
                             public   water-related    recreation     resource    or
                             facility   is significantly reduced during peak
                             season use and such reduction cannot be reasonably
                             justified     in   terms    of   meeting     systemwide
                             objectives.

                        (3)  Pedestrian    access is diminished or eliminated
                             because of hazardous crossings required at
                             new or altered transportation facilities, electric
                             power    transmission   lines,    or similar linear
                             facilities.

                        (4)  There are su   .bstantial increases in the following:
                             already   existing special fares (not including
                             regular    fares    in   any   instance)    of public
                             transportation      to    a    public     water-related
                             recreation resource or facility, except where the
                             public body having jurisdiction over such fares
                             determine that such substantial fare increases are
                             necessary;    and/or    admission    fees to such a
                             resource or facility, and an analysis shows that
                             such increases will significantly reduce usage by
                             individuals or families with income levels below
                             the State government established poverty level.

                    e. An elimination of the possibility of increasing public
                        access in the future includes, but is not limited to
                        the following:

                                                 123

                          (1)  Construction of public facilities which physically
                               prevent the provision, except at great expense, of
                               convenient public access to public water-related
                               recreation resources and facilities.

                          (2)  Sale, lease, or other transfer of public lands
                               that could provide public ac'cess to a public
                               water-related recreation resource or facility.

                          (3)  Construction    of    private    facilities    which
                               physically   prevent the provison of convenient
                               public access to public water-related recreation
                               resources or facilities from public lands and
                               facilities.

                2.    Any proposed project to increase public access to public
                      water-related recreation resources and facilities shall be
                      analyzed according to the following factors:

                      a. The level of access to be provided should be in accord
                          with estimated public use. If not, the proposed level
                          of access to be provided shall be deemed inconsistent
                          with the policy.

                      b.  The level of access to be provided shall not cause a
                          degree   of   use   which   would exceed the physical
                          capability of the resource of the facility. If this
                          were determined to be the case, the proposed level of
                          access to be provided shall be deemed inconsistent with
                          the policy.

                3.    The State will not undertake or fund any project which
                      increases access to a water-related resource or facility
                      that is not open to all members of the public.

                                                 124

             4.    In their plans and programs for increasing public access
                   to public water-related resources and facilities, State
                   agencies shall give priority in the following order to
                   projects    located:      within    the    boundaries of the
                   Federal-Aid    Metropolitan Urban Area served by public
                   transportation; outside the def ined Urban Area boundary
                   and served by public transportation; and outside the
                   defined Urban Area boundary but not served by public
                   transportation.

             See also Policies 1, 9, 20, 21 and 22 and Section IV, Proposed
             Uses and Proposed Projects.

             Policy 20      Access to the publicly-owned foreshore and to
                            lands immediately adjacent to the foreshore of the
                            water's edge that are publicly owned shall be
                            provided, and it should be provided in a manner
                            compatible with adjoining uses. Such lands shall
                            be retained in public ownership;

             Publicly owned lands within the Town of Evans that are adjacent
             to the water's edge are shown on Maps 7A-7C in the Inventory and
             Analysis section.       Most of these lands (as described in the
             Inventory and Analysis, II.J, Public Access and Recreation) are
             currently devoted to public recreation uses and provide existing
             access to public land and waters. Lands lying under the waters
             of Lake Erie are generally owned by the State of New York.

             While such publicly-owned lands shall be retained in public
             ownership, traditional sales of easements on lands underwater to
             adjacent    onshore property owners are consistent with this
             policy, provided such easements do not substantially interfere
             with continued public use of the public lands on which the
             easement is granted.        Also, public use of such publicly-owned

                                               125

                underwater lands and lands immediately adjacent to the shore
                shall be discouraged where such use would be inappropriate for
                reasons    of   public    safety, military security, or in the
                protection of fragile coastal resources.

                The following additional guidelines will be used in determining
                the consistency of a proposed action with this policy:

                1.     Existing access from adjacent or proximate public lands or
                       facilities to existing public coastal lands and/or waters
                       shall    not be reduced, nor shall the possibility of
                       increasing access in the future from adjacent or nearby
                       public lands or facilities to public coastal lands and/or
                       waters be eliminated, unless such actions are demonstrated
                       to be of overriding regional or statewide public benefit,
                       or in the latter case, estimates of future use of these
                       lands and waters are too low to justify maintaining or
                       providing increased access.

                       The following is an explanation of the terms used in the
                       above guidelines:

                       a. (See definitions under Policy 19 of "access", and
                          "public lands or facilities").

                       b. A reduction in the existing level of public access -
                          includes but is not limited to the following:

                           (1)  Pedestrian    access is diminished or eliminated
                                because of hazardous crossings required at
                                new or altered transportation facilities, electric
                                power   transmission     lines,   or similar linear
                                facilities.

                                                    126

                           (2) Pedestrian    access   is   diminished    or blocked
                                completely by public or private development.

                       c.  An elimination of the possibility of increasing public
                           access in the future      includes but is not limited to
                           the following:

                           (1)  Construction of public facilities which physically
                                prevent the provision, except at great expense, of
                                convenient public access to public water-related
                                recreation resources and facilities.

                           (2)  Sale, lease, or other conveyance of public lands
                                that could provide public access to publiccoastal
                                lands and/or waters.

                           (3)  Construction    of    private     facilities    which
                                physically prevent the provision of convenient
                                public   access to public coastal lands and/or
                                waters from public lands and facilities.

                 2.    The existing level of public access within public coastal
                       lands or waters shall not be reduced or eliminated. A
                       reduction    in the existing level of public access -
                       includes but is not limited to the following:

                       a. Access is reduced or eliminated because of hazardous
                           crossings required at new or altered transportation
                           facilities,   electric   power transmission lines, or
                           similar linear facilities.

                       b. Access is reduced or blocked completely by and public
                           developments.

                                                   127

                3.    Public access from the nearest public roadway to            the
                      shoreline and along the coast shall be provided by          new
                      land   use    or   development,    except where (a) it is
                      inconsistent with public safety, military security, or      the
                      protection of identified fragile coastal resources;         (b)
                     .adequate    access exists within one-half mile; or          (c)
                      agriculture would be adversely affected.           Such access
                      shall not be required to be open to public use until a
                      public agency or private association agrees to accept
                      responsibility    for   maintenance and liability of the

                      accessway.

                4.    The State will not undertake or fund any project which
                      increases access to a water-related resource or facility
                      that is not open to all members of the public.

                5.    In their plans and programs for increasing public access,
                      State agencies shall give priority in the following*order
                      to   projects'   located:    within the boundaries of the
                      Federal-Aid Metropolitan Urban Area but not served by
                      public transportation; outside the defined Urban Area
                      boundary but not served by public transportation.

                6.    Proposals for increased public access to coastal lands and
                      waters    shall be analyzed according to the following
                      factors:

                      a. The level of access to be provided should be in accord
                         with estimated public use. If not, the proposed level
                         of access to be provided shall be deemed inconsistent
                         with the policy.

                      b. The level of access to be provided shall not cause a
                         degree    of   use    which   would exceed the physical

                                                  128

                       capability of the resource. If th     is were determined to
                       be the case, the proposed level of access to be
                       provided shall'be inconsistent with the policy.

              See also Policies 1, 9, 19, 21 and 22 and Section IV, Proposed
              Uses and Proposed Projects.

              Policy 21      Water dependent and water enhanced recreation will
                             be encouraged and facilitated, and will be given
                             priority over non-water related uses along the
                             coast,   provided     it  is    consistent with the
                             preservation    and enhancement of other coastal
                             resources and takes into account demand for such
                             facilities.      In facilitating such activities,
                             priority shall be given to areas where access to
                             the recreation opportunities of the coast can be
                             provided by new or existing public transportation
                             services and to those areas where the use of the
      40                     shore    is     severely  restricted     by    existing
                             development.

              Policy 21A     Expand   and     improve  the    public    marina and
                             water-related recreational facilities at Sturgeon
                             Point.

              Policy 21B     Develop      public    water-related       recreational
                             facilities at Lake Erie Beach.

              Policy 21C     Improve public facilities for the recreational use
                             of Eighteen Mile Creek.

              The   demand    for   additional    marina, swimming and fishing
              facilities in the Town of Evans and Erie County has been well
              documented in Town, County, and State reports. The public right

                                                 129

                to recreational use of Lake Erie's resources is important to
                realize    and   can   be    accomplished through the expansion,
                development and improvement of public water-related recreation
                facilities as provided by Policies 21A, 21B, and 21C.

                At Sturgeon Point, existing marina and recreational facilities
                are to be expanded and improved, as described in the Inventory
                and Analysis section under II.J, Public Access and Recreation,
                and the Proposed Projects section under Project 1: Lake Erie
                Beach.

                At   Eighteen    Mile    Creek, facilities are needed to allow
                management of the recreational uses of the area's exceptional
                fish and wildlife, scenic, and archaeological resources in a way
                that enhances recreational uses, while protecting the area's
                important resources and respecting private property rights.
                Such facilities are to be provided in accordance with the joint
                resources management plan prepared with the Town of Hamburg, if
                such plan has been completed.

                Consistent with demand and the protection of other important
                coastal    resources,    water-related    (dependent and enhanced)
                recreation uses shall have a higher priority than any non-water
                related    uses,    including non-water-related recreation uses.
                Water dependent recreation uses shall have a higher priority
                than water-enhanced uses, including water-enhanced recreation
                uses. Determining a priority among water-dependent uses will
                require a case-by-case analysis.       (See Policy 2 for definitions
                and additional provisions concerning water-dependent uses.)

                Any development of water-related recreational facilities or
                increase    in recreational use must be consistent with the
                preservation    and    enhancement    of   other important coastal
                resources, such as fish and wildlife habitats, aesthetically

                                                   130

            significant areas, historic and cultural resources, agriculture
            capacity to accommodate anticipated use.        Boating facilities
            will, as appropriate, include parking, park-like surroundings,
            toilet facilities, and pumpout facilities.

            Water-related off-road recreational vehicle use is an acceptable
            activity,   provided no adverse environmental impacts occur.
            Where   adverse   environmental impact will occur, mitigating
            measures will be implemented where practicable to minimize such
            adverse impacts.      If acceptable mitigtion is not practicable,
            prohibition of the use by off-road recreational vehicles will be
            posted and enforced. (See also Policy 12.)

            See also Policies 1, 9, 19, 20 and 22 and Section IV, Proposed
            Uses and Proposed Projects.

            Policy 22      Development, when located adjacent to the shore,
                           will provide for water-related recreation, as a
                           multiple use, whenever such recreational use is
                           appropriate in light of reasonably anticipated
                           demand for such activities and the primary purpose
                           of the development.

            Policy 22A     The Town shall promote and encourage multiple use
                           of the Erie County Water Authority Water Treatment
                           Plant at Sturgeon Point for passive recreational

                           use.

            Many developments present practical opportunities for providing
            recreation facilities as an additional use of the site or
            facility.    Therefore, whenever developments are located adjacent
            to the shore, they should to the fullest extent permitted by
            existing law provide for some form of water-related recreation
            use unless there are compelling reasons why any form of such

                                             131

              recreation would not be compatible with the development, or a
              reasonable demand for public use cannot be foreseen.

              The water treatment plant operated by the Erie County Water
              Authority    at   Sturgeon Point, in particular, offers ideal
              opportunities for passive recreational use as a multiple use.
              The Plant is located on a 75 acre wooded site and has a small
              deer habitat.     It occupies 500 feet of lake shoreline atop a 70
              foot bluff    overlooking the Sturgeon Point Marina. On clear
              days, Port    Colborne, Ontario can be seen from the shore. The
              Town shall    initiate discussions with the Authority to determine
              proper legal  arrangements.

              Other types   of existing or potential development within the Town
              of Evans waterfront area which might provide water-related
              recreation as a multiple use include but are not limited to:

                        parks
                        highways
                        utilities
                        utility transmission rights of way
                        sewage treatment facilities
                        schools and similar institutional uses*
                        nature preserves*
                        large residential subdivisions (50 units)
                        shopping complexes
                        office buildings

                     *The types of recreation uses likely to be compatible with
              these facilities are limited to the more passive forms, such as
              trails or fishing access.        In some cases, land areas not
              directly or immediately needed by the facility could be used for
              recreation.

                                               132

           Prior to taking action relative to any development, public
           agencies   should    consult with the State Office of Parks,
           Recreation, and Historic Preservation and the Town of Evans to
           determine   appropriate recreation uses.        The agency should
           provide OPRHP and the Town with the opportunity to participate
           in project planning.

           Appropriate recreation uses which do not require any substantial
           additional construction shall be provided at the expense o the
           project sponsor provided the cost does not exceed 2% of total
           project cost.

           In determining whether compelling reasons exist which would make
           inadvisable recreation as a multiple use, safety considerations
           should reflect a recognition that some risk is acceptable in the
           use of recreational facilities.

           Whenever a proposed development would be consistent with CMP
           policies and the development could, through the provision of
           recreation   and other multiple uses, significantly increase
           public use of the shore, then such development should be
           encouraged to locate adjacent to the shore (this situation would
           generally only apply within the more developed portions of the
           waterfront area).

           HISTORIC AND SCENIC RESOURCES POLICIES

           Policy 23         Protect,   enhance    and   restore     structures,
                             districts,    areas   or   sites    that   are of
                             significance    in   the history, architecture,
                             archaeology    or   culture of the State, its
                             communities, or tke nation.

           Po icy 23A        Protect archaeologically significant sites in
                             the vicinity of Eighteen Mile Creek.

                                               133

             Among the most valuable of the State's man-made resources are
             those   which    are of historic, archaeological, or cultural
             significance.     The protection of these resources must involve a
             recognition of    their importance by all agencies. Protection
             must include concern not just with specific sites but with areas
             of significance, and with the area around specific sites.

             Within the Town of Evans waterfront area, areas of potential
             archaeological significance, as identified by the State Historic
             Preservation Office, exist within the vicinity of Eighteen Mile
             Creek (see the Inventory and Analysis Section, sub-section K.
             Historic, Archaeological and Cultural Resources, for a further
             description).     There are four structures of local historic
             significance in the local waterfront area (see Map 8 A-C) .

             Prior to undertaking any Type I or unlisted action as defined in
             6 NYCRR, Part 617 of Article        8 of the State Environmental
             conservation    Law   in   the   identified   area    of potential
             archaeological    significance, anyone proposing such activity
             shall consult with the State Historic Preservation Office to
             determine    whether   significant   archaelogical resources are
             present at the site and what measures are necessary to preserve
             or avoid these cultural resources.     All practicable means shall
             be used to preserve significant archaeological resources.

             In the event the New York State Department of Parks, Recreation
             and Historic Preservation determines that all or some of those
             sites are of State or national significance than, prior to any
             Type I or unlisted actions (as def ined by SEQR) which might
             affect    these sites, adequate protective measures shall be
             devised which would prevent or mitigate adverse impacts to those

             resources

                                                 134

             This policy shall not be construed to prevent the construction,
             reconstruction,     alteration, or demolition of any building,
             structure, earthwork, or component thereof which has been
             officially certified as being imminently dangerous to life or
             public health.

             Policy 24          Prevent    impairment    of scenic resources of
                                statewide significance, as identified on the
                                coastal area map. Impairment shall include: (i)
                                the    irreversible     modification    of geologic
                                forms,     the     destruction     or   removal     of
                                structures,    whenever    the    geologic     forms,
                                vegetation or structures are significant to the
                                scenic quality of an identified resource; and
                                (ii) the addition of structures which because
                                of siting or scale will reduce identified views
                                or which because of scale, form, or materials
                                will    diminish    the    scenic    quality of an
                                identified resource.

             This State Coastal Policy is not applicable to the Town of
             Evans, because     there are no scenic resources of statewide
             significance nor   are any likely to be designated.

             Policy 25          Protect,     restore   or     enhance   natural and
                                man-made resources which are not identified as
                                being    of statewide significance, but which
                                contribute to the overall scenic quality of the
                                coastal area.

             Policy 25A         Protect and enhance the natural and scenic
                                resource identified as the Eighteen Mile
                                Creek gorge which contributes to the overall
                                scenic quality of the Town coastal area.

                                                 135

                PolicV 25B        Protect and enhance the scenic qualities of
                                  bluff areas overlooking Sturgeon Point Marina.

                The Evans waterfront area includes the Eighteen Mile Creek and
                its gorge, which forms the boundary between the Town of Evans
                and the Town of Hamburg and which is a regionally important
                scenic resource.      The scenic quality of the area is the result
                of   primarily its combination of dramatic geology, natural
                vegetation,    running   water,    and   limited development (see
                Inventory    and Analysis section, K. Cultural Resources for
                further description).     Any action which would impair the scenic
                quality   of    this   area is inconsistent with this policy.
                Impairment shall include:      (1) the irreversible modification of
                geologic forms, including that resulting from the disturbance
                and/or acceleration of natural geological processes; (2) the
                destruction or removal of vegetation, whenever such vegetation
                is significant to 'the scenic quality of the area; (3) the
                substantial    and permanent reduction of the quality and/or
                quantity of water flowing in the Eighteen Mile Creek; and (4)
                the addition of structures which because of siting or scale will
                reduce scenic access or which because of scale, form, or
                materials will diminish the scenic quality of the area. In
                addition, actions which may affect the scenic quality of this
                area shall comply with the joint resource management plan
                prepared with the Town of Hamburg, if such plan has been
                completed. (See also Policies 21 and 23).

                The Evans waterfront area also possesses generally good visual
                quality, important elements of which are the open space
                characteristics of the Town's public parks and the natural beach
                and bluff formations lining the shoreline.            In addition to
                contributing to the overall scenic quality of the waterfront
                area, public parks afford important access to scenic vistas of
                Lake Erie and the shoreline.

                                                  136

             At Sturgeon Point, significant bluff formations offer excellent
             scenic vistas of Lake Erie, which are enhanced by the focal
             point provided by the boating activity at the Sturgeon Point
             Marina.    In addition to preserving the scenic qualities of this
             area, the Town will undertake efforts to purchase a small area
             from Erie County at the top of the bluff for not only a leach
             field for the marina, but also a public viewing area. The Town
             will also pursue a multiple use agreement with the Erie County
             Water Authority to permit passive recreational use of surplus
             lands at their facility near Sturgeon Point. This will open up
             vistas to the marina and Port Colborne, Ontario.            (See also
             Policies 21 and 22).

             When considering a proposed action, Town, State and Federal
             agencies shall ensure that the action will be undertaken so as
             to protect, restore, or enhance the overall scenic quality of
             the waterfront area and, in particular, those elements cited
             above.    The following siting and development-related guidelines
             are to be used to achieve this policy, recognizing that each
             development situation is unique and that the guidelines will
             have to be applied accordingly.

             1.     Structures and other development, such as highways, power
                    lines, and signs, should be sited back from shorelines or
                    in   other   inconspicuous     locations    to   maintain the
                    attractive quality of the shoreline and     to retain views to
                    and from the shore.

             2.     Structures should be clustered or oriented to retain
                    views, save open space, and provide visual organization to
                    a development.

             3.     Sound existing structures should be incorporated into the
                    overall development scheme.

                                                137

                4.     Deteriorating and/or degrading elements should be removed.

                5.     The original land form should be maintained or restored,
                       except when changes screen unattractive elements and/or
                       add appropriate interest.

                6.     Vegetation should be maintained or added to provide
                       interest,    encourage    the presence of wildlife, blend
                       structures    into    the   site, and obscure unattractive
                       elements, except when selective clearing creates views of
                       coastal waters.

                7.     Appropriate materials, in addition to vegetation, should
                       be used to screen unattractive elements.

                .8.    The scale, form and materials of buildings and other
                       structures should be compatible with and add interest to
                       the landscape.

                AGRICULTURAL LANDS POLICY

                Policy 26          To conserve and protect agricultural lands
                                   in the State's coastal area, an action shall
                                   not    result   in    a   loss,    nor impair the
                                   productivity, of important agricultural lands,
                                   as identified on the coastal area map, if that
                                   loss or impairment would adversely affect the
                                   viability of agriculture in an agricultural
                                   district    or,    if there is no agricultural
                                   district, in the area surrounding such lands.

                This policy applies to those agricultural lands identified in
                the Inventory and Analysis section on Maps 3A-C as Agricultural
                Cropland (AC) and/or on Map 8 as lying within the boundaries of

                                                    138

             the Brant-Evans Agricultural District.         The policy requires a
             concern for the loss of any important agricultural land.
             However,    the   primary    concern must be with the loss of
             agricultural land when that loss would have a significant
             adverse effect on the viability of the agricultural area of
             which those lands are a part.

             An agricultural area is an predominantly in farming and in which
             farms   produce    similar    products and/or rely on the same
             agribusiness support services and are to a signficant degree
             interdependent.        The boundary of such area need not be
             restricted to land within the Brant-Evans Agricultural District,
             then, at a minimum, the agricultural area must include the
             entire agricultural district.

             A series of determinations are necessary to establish whether
             proposed    action    is   consistent with the conservation and
             protection of agricultural lands or whether it is likely to
             adversely affect the viability of an agricultural area.          First,
             it must be determined whether a proposed action would result in
             the loss of important agricultural lands as defined above. If
             it would not result, either directly or indirectly, in the loss
             of such lands, then the action is consistent with this policy.

             If it is determined that the action would result in a loss of
             important agricultural lands, but that the loss would not have
             an adverse effect on the viability of the surrounding
             agriculture area, then the action may be consistent with this
             policy, if undertaken in a mannerthat would minimize the loss of
             the important agricultural lands. If the action is determined
             to result in a significant loss of important agricultural land,
             that is, a loss sufficient to adversely affect the surrounding
             agriculture area's viability, -- its abiity to continue to

                                                 139

               exist, to prosper, and even to expand -- then the action is not
               consistent with this policy.

               The    following   guidelines define more fully what must be
               considered in making the above determinations:

               1.     A proposed action would be likely to adversely affect the
                      viability of an agricultural area in which important
                      agricultural lands are located if:

                      a. the action would occur on important agricultural land
                         and would:

                                 consume more than 10% of the land of an active
                                 farm containing such land.

                         (2)     consume a total of 100 acres or more of such
                                 land, or

                         (3)     divide an active farm containing such land into
                                 two or more parts thus impeding efficient farm
                                 operation.

                      b. the action would result in environmental changes which
                         may reducethe productivity or adversely affect the
                         quality of the product of any such land.

                      c. the action would create real estate market conditions
                         favorable to the conversion of large areas of important
                         agricultural    land to non-agricultural uses.         Such
                         conditions may be created by:

                         (1)     public    water or sewer facilities to serve
                                 non-farm structures,

                                                 1 An

                      (2)     transportation    improvements,     except     for
                              maintenance of, and safety improvements to,
                              existing facilities, that serve non-farm or
                              non-farm related development,

                      (3)     major non-agricultural development adjacent to
                              such land,

                      (4)     any change in land use regulations applying to
                              such land which would encourage or allow uses
                              incompatible with the agricultural use of the
                              land.

            2.     The following types of facilities and activities should
                   not   be   construed as having adverse effects on the
                   preservation of agricultural land:

                   a. farm dwellings, barns, silos, and other accessory uses
                      and structures incidental to agricultural production    or
                      necessary for farm family supplemental income,

                   b. agribusiness   development which includes the entire
                      structure of local support services and commercial
                      enterprises   necessary    to maintain an agricultural
                      operation.

                   Whenever a proposed action will result in the loss of
                   important agricultural lands, but it has been determined
                   that such loss will not adversely affect the surrounding
                   agricultural area's viability, the loss of agricultural
                   land shall be minimized in the following manner:

                   a. The proposed action shall, to the extent practicable,
                      be sited or undertaken so as to minimize the loss of

                                              141

                          any such land which has been farmed within two of the
                          last five years.

                       b. To    the  extent    practicable,    agricultural use of
                          identified important agricultural land not directl;y
                          necessary     for   the   operation    of   the    proposed
                          non-agricultural action should be provided for through
                          such means as lease arrangements with farmers, direct
                          undertaking of agriculture, or sale of surplus land to
                          farmers.    Agricultural use of such land shall have
                          priority over any other proposed multiple use of the

                          land.

                 ENERGY AND ICE MANAGEMENT

                 Policy 27         Decisions on the siting and construction of
                                   major energy facilities in the coastal area
                                   will   be   based* on     public   energy needs,
                                   compatibility   of    such facilities with the
                                   environment, and the facility's need for a
                                   shorefront location.

                 Demand for energy in New York will increase, although at a rate
                 slower than previously predicted.         The State expects to meet
                 these energy demands through a combination of conservation
                 measures; traditional and alternative technologies; and use of
                 various fuels including coal in greater proportion.

                 A determination of public need for energy is the first step in
                 the process for siting any new facilities. The directives for
                 determining this need are contained primarily in Article 5 of
                 the New York State Energy Law.           That Article requires the
                 preparation of a State Energy Master Plan. With respect to
                 transmission lines and steam electric generating facilities,

                                                   142

             Articles VII and VIII of the State's Public Service Law require
             additional forecasts and establish the basis for determining the
             compatibility of these facilities with the environment and the
             necessity for a shorefront location. The policies derived from
             the    siting   regulations under these Articles are entirely
             consistent with the coastal policies derived from other laws,
             particularly    the    regulations   promulgated pursuant to the
             Waterfront Revitalization and Coastal Resources Act. That Act
             is used for the purposes of ensuring consistency with the State
             Coastal Management Program and this LWRP.

             In consultation with the Town of Evans, the Department of State
             will comment on the State Energy Master Plan; present testimony
             for the record during relevant certification proceedings under
             Articles VII and VIII of the PSL; and use the State SEQR and DOS
             regulations to ensure that decisions on other proposed energy
             facilities     (other   than   transmission facilities and steam
             electric generating plants) which would impact the waterfront
             area are made consistent with the policies and purposes of the

             LWRP.

             Policy 28          Ice   management    practices shall not damage
                                significant    fish   and   wildlife    and their
                                habitats,     increase   shoreline    erosion     or
                                flooding, or interfere with the production of
                                hydroelectric power.

             Prior to undertaking actions required for ice management, and
             assessment must be made of the potential effects of such actions
             upon the production of hydroelecric power, fish and wildlife and
             their habitats, flood levels and damage, rates of shoreline
             erosion damage, and upon natural protective features.

             Following such an examination, adequate methods of avoidance or

                                                143

                mitigation of such potential effects must e utilized if the
                proposed action is to be implemented.

                Policy 29         Encourage the development of energy resources
                                  on the Outer Continental Shelf, in Lake Erie
                                  and in other water bodies, and ensure the
                                  environmental safety of such activities.

                The State recognizes the need to develop new indigenous energy
                sources.    It also recognizes that such development may endanger
                the    environment.    Among the various energy sources being
                examined are those which may be found on the Outer Continental
                Shelf (OCS) or in      Lake Erie.    The State encourages the wise
                development of off-shore energy resources in a manner that will
                ensure the environmental safety of such activities, protect
                important coastal resources, and, in Lake Erie, protect public
                water supplies.

                State law currently prohibits development of wells nearer than
                one-half mile from the shoreline, two miles from public water
                supply intakes, and one thousand feet from any other structure
                or installation in or on Lake Erie.            Further, State law
                prohibits production of   liquid hydrocarbons in Lake Erie, either
                alone or in association   with natural gas. Additional guidelines
                may   be   promulgated    by   the   Department of Environmental
                Conservaion, which has primary responsibility for regulating
                off-shore development of  energy resources.

                WATER AND AIR RESOURCES POLICIES

                Policy 30         Municipal, industrial, and commercial discharge
                                  of pollutants including b    ut not limited to,
                                  toxic and hazardous substances, into coastal
                                  waters will conform to State and National water

                                                 144

                                 quality standards.

              Municipal, industrial and commercial discharges include not
              only "end-of-the pipe" discharges into surface and groundwater
              but also plant site runoff, leaching, spillages, sludge and
              other waste disposal, and drainage from raw material storage
              sites.   Also, the regulated industrial discharges are both those
              which directly empty into receiving coastal waters and those
              which pass through municipal treatment systems before reaching
              the Town's waterways.

              Policy 31          State coastal area policies and purposes of
                                 approved     Local    Waterfront      Revitalization
                                 Programs will be considered while reviewing
                                 coastal     water   classifications     and     while
                                 modifying    water quality standards; however,
                                 those    waters     already    overburdened      with
                                 contaminants will be recognized as being a
                                 development constraint.

              The water quality classifications for Lake Erie and streams
              flowing through the Town of Evans waterfront area, as identified
              in   the Inventory and Analysis section, E. Hydrology, are
              appropriate to the policies and the proposed land and water uses
              for the Town's waterfront area and should be maintained. There
              are no waters overburdened with contaminants within the Town's
              waterfront area.

              Policy 32          Encourage the use of alternative or innovative
                                 sanitary waste systems in small communities
                                 where the costs of conventional facilities are
                                 unreasonably    high,    given the size of the
                                 existing tax base of these communities.

                                                 145

                In shoreline areas, such as     the 55-acre County-owned parcel at
                Sturgeon Point and the large    private land holding between Wendt
                Beach and the Sturgeon Point residential community, the Town
                will require large lot development which can accommodate septic
                systems or package treatment plants until public sewer hookups
                are financially feasible. Minimum lot sizes for any dwelling in
                these areas shall be 15,000 square feet. (See also Policy 5).

                Policy 33         Best management practice will be used to ensure
                                  the control of stormwater runoff and combined
                                  sewer overflows draining into coastal waters.

                Best    management   practices   include    both   structural     and
                non-structural methods of preventing or mitigating pollution
                caused by the discharge of stormwater runoff and combined sewer
                overflows.    At present, structural approaches to controlling
                stormwater runoff (e.g., construction of retention basins) and
                combined sewer overflows(e.g., replacement of combined sy        stem
                with separate sanitary and stormwater collection systems) are
                not economically feasible.       Until funding for such projects
                becomes available, non-structural approaches will be encouraged.

                In the Town of Evans various open space reservation and drainage
                easement areas have been identified along the waterfront at Big
                Sister Creek, Little Sister Creek, Pike Creek, Delaware Creek,
                Muddy Creek, Fern Brook, Reisch Creek, two unnamed streams, and
                Eighteen Mile Creek.      Specific reference should be made to the
                Land Use Plan (Section IV, Maps 9A-9C) for an exact delineation
                of these areas. Guidelines for determining the consistency of
                proposed actions located within these areas with this policy are
                as follows:

                1.    A proposed structure or building must not impede the flow
                      of   floodwater or otherwise cause damage to life or
                      property.

                                                  146

             2.     The proposed structure or building would not interfere
                    with the maintenance of adequate drainage channels and
                    ponding areas to carry abnormal flows of stormwater in
                    periods of heavy precipitation.

             3.     No use of land shall be permitted which change or alters
                    existing surface drainage patterns as they affect an
                    abutting property owner.

             See also Policy 11 and Section IV.A., Proposed Uses.

             .Policy 34         Discharge    of    waste materials into coastal
                                waters from vessels will be limited so as to
                                protect significant fish and wildlife habitats,
                                recreational areas and water supply areas.

             The discharge of sewage, garbage, rubbish, and other solid and
            ..liquid materials from watercraft and marinas into the State's
             waters is regulated. Priority will be given to the enforcement
             of this Law in such areas as the significant habitats, beaches,
             and public water supply intakes located within the Town of Evans
             waterfront area, which need protection from contamination by
             vessel wastes.       Also, specific effluent standards for marine
             toilets have been    promulgated by the Department of Environmental
             Conservation (6 NYCRR,Part 657).           To further discourage the
             discharge of vessel waste materials into the lake waters,
             pump-out facilities will be required at the Sturgeon Point
             Marina.

             Policy 35          Dredging and dredge spoil disposal in coastal
                                waters will be undertaken in a manner that
                                meets     existing     State     dredging      permit
                                requirements, and protects signficant fish and
                                wildlife habitats, scenic resources, natural

                                                 147

                                    protective    features,     important agricultural
                                    lands, and wetlands.

                 Dredging    often    proves    to   be    essential     for waterfront
                 revitalization and development, maintaining navigation channels
                 at   sufficient depths, pollutant removal and meeting other
                 coastal management needs. Such dredging projects, however, may
                 adversely affect water quality, fish and wildlife habitats,
                 wetlands and other important coastal resources. Often these
                 adverse effects can be minimized through careful design and
                 timing of the dredging operation and proper siting of the dredge
                 spoil disposal site. State dredging permits will be granted if
                 it has been satisfactorily demonstrated that these anticipated
                 adverse effects have been reduced to levels which satisfy
                 dredging standards set forth in regulations developed pursuant
                 to Environmental Conservation Law, (Articles 15, 24, 25, and
                 34),    and    are consistent with policies pertaining to the
                 protection of coastal resources (policies 7A, 12, 15, 25, 25A,
                 26 and 44).

                 Policy 36          Activities related to the shipment and storage
                                    of petroleum and other hazardous materials will
                                    be conducted in a manner that will prevent or
                                    at least minimize spills into coastal waters;
                                    all practicable efforts will be undertaken to
                                    expedite the cleanup of such discharges; and
                                    restitution for damages will be required when
                                    these spills occur.

                 The storage of petroleum and petroleum products is prohibited
                 within the waterfront area, unless used by an occupant for
                 agricultural purposes.       All activities within the Town of Evans
                 waterfront      area   which    are subject to this policy shall
                 furthermore     comply    with all applicable State and Federal
                 regulations.

                                                     148

              POlicV 37        Best management practices will be utilized to
                               minimize   the non-point discharge of excess
                               nutrients,    organics   and eroded soils into
                               coastal waters.

              See Policy 33.

              Policy 38        The quality and quantity of surface water and
                               groundwater supplies, will be conserved and
                               protected,    particularly   where    such waters
                               constitute the primary or sole source of water
                               supply.

              Lake Erie is the major source of drinking water in the Town of
              Evans and therefore must be protected.         Much of the Town of
              Evans waterfront area is serviced by a high technology sanitary
              sewer system and all commercial and industrial discharges are
              regulated by State and Federal law. See also Policies 5, 32 and

              33.

              Policy 39        The transport, storage, treatment and disposal
                               of solid wastes, particularly hazardous wastes,
                               within coastal areas will be 'conducted in such
                               a manner so as to protect groundwater and
                               surface water supplies, significant fish and
                               wildlife habitats, recreation areas, important
                               agricultural lands and scenic resources.

              The   terms    "solid   wastes"   and    "solid   waste management
              facilities"are defined in New York's Solid Waste Management Act
              (Environmental Conservation Law, Article 27).          Solid wastes
              include sludges from air or water pollution control facilities,
              demolition and construction debris and industrial and commercial
              wastes.    The term "hazardous waste" is defined under Policy S.

                                                149

                 Hazardous wastes include unwanted by-products of manufacturing
                 processes generally characterized as being flammable, corrosive,
                 reactive, or toxic.

                 No storage of solid waste is permitted in the Town of Evans
                 waterfront area, except in the Brant-Evans Agricultual District
                 in the southeast sector of the waterfront area. There are no
                 existing treatment facilities or known disposal sites, nor are
                 such   facilities appropriate to the waterfront area.             Any
                 transport of solid waste in the waterfront must comply with
                 State and Federal regulations and ensure the protection of the
                 Town's water resources, fish and wildlife habitats, recreation
                 areas, agricultural lands, wetlands, and scenic resources.

                 Policy 40         Effluent discharged from major steam electric
                                   generating   and   industrial    facilitis     into
                                   coastal waters will not be unduly injurious to
                                   fish and wildlife and shall conform to State
                                   water quality standards.

                 Since there are   no major steam electric generating or industrial
                 facilities existing or planned in the waterfront area, this
                 State Coastal Policy is not applicable.

                 Policy 41         Land use or development in the coastal area
                                   will not cause National or State air quality
                                   standards to be violated.

                 The Town's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program incorporates
                 the air quality policies and programs developed for the State by
                 the Department of Environmental Conservation pursuant to the
                 Clean Air Act and State Laws on air quality.       The requirements
                 of the Clean Air Act are the minimum air quality control
                 .requirements applicable within the waterfront area.

                                                   150

             To the extent possible, the State Implementation Plan will be
             consistent with the land and water use policies of this local
             program.    Conversely, program decisions with regard to specific
             land and water use proposals and any recommendations with regard
             to   specific    sites   for   major   new    or expanded energy.,
             transportation,    or   commercial   facilities will reflect an
             assessment of their compliance with the air quality requirements
             of the State Implementation Plan.

             Policy 42         Coastal management policies will be considered
                               if the State reclassifies land areas pursuant
                               to the prevention of significant deterioration
                               regulations of the Federal Clean Air Act.

             The policies of this program concerning proposed land and water
             uses and the protection and preservation of coastal resources
             will be taken into account prior to any action to change
             prevention of significant deterioration land classifications in
             the c6astal region or adjacent areas.

             Policy 43         Land use or development in the coastal area
                               must not cause the generation of significant
                               amounts of the acid rain precursors: nitrates
                               and sulfates.

             The. Town's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program incorporates
             the State's policies on acid rain. As such, the local program
             will assist in the State's efforts to control acid rain. These
             efforts    to   control acid rain will enhance the continued
             viability of coastal fisheries, wildlife, agricultural, scenic
             and water resources.

             Policy 44         Preserve   and   protect tidal and freshwater
                               wetlands and preserve the benefits derived from
                               these areas.

                                              151

                Policy 44        Preserve and protect the wetlands in Wendt
                                 Beach County Park and adjacent to Anthony J.
                                 Schmidt Elementary School, as identified on the
                                 NYS DEC draft wetlands inventory map for the
                                 Town of Evans.

                The Town of Evans waterfront area includes part of a Class II
                weltand (AN-3) in the southeastern portion of Wendt Beach Park
                and another Class II wetland (AN-4) on privately owned land in
                the Lake Erie Beach area adjacent to the Anthony J. Schmidt
                Elementary School.     (The wetlands are generally depicted in the
                Inventory and Analysis section on Maps 5 and 5C.) The benefits
                derived from the preservation of these wetlands include but are
                not limited to: habitat for wildlife; erosion, flood and storm
                control; natural pollution treatment; groundwater protection;
                recreational    opportunities;     educational    and     scientific
                opportunities; and aesthetic open space.

                Any proposed activities or development which may affect these
                wetlands   will   be subject to State regulations under the
                Freshwater   Wetlands    Act (Environmental Conservation Law
                Article 24).

                                 PROPOSED LAND AND WATER USES

             A.     LAND USES (See Map Series 9)

                    The   Town of Evans Waterfront Revitalization Area is
                    largely residential in character, with estates, summer
                    residences,    and   tax-exempt    institutional properties.
                    Smaller scale commercial uses are scattered along the

                    southern half of the Town's lakefront.           Beaches are
                    common, and five public parks occupy portions of the
                    shoreline.

                    For descriptive purposes, the Evans waterfront has been
                   .divided from north to south into the following sub-areas:

                    1. Highland/Derby
                    2. Sturgeon Point
                    3. Angola on the Lake
                    4. Grandview Bay
                    5. Point Breeze/Lake Erie Beach

                    Proposed land uses for these areas are categorized as
                    residential,        commercial,       institutional,        and
                    recreation/open space.      Further elaboration regarding the
                    nature of residential uses is provided in the following
                    narrative descriptions for each sub-area. With respect to
                    recreation/open space uses, such land consists for the
                    most part of large public parks, such land consists for
                    the most part of large public parks, such as Wendt Beach
                    and Bennett Beach, and environmentally sensitive lands
                    where development is severely restricted or not allowed,

                       such as bluffs and beaches.          Where land categorized as
                       recreation/open space is privately owned, such as Camp
                       Lakeland and the Point Breeze campground, recreation uses
                       are expected to continue for the forseeable future. It
                       should be noted, however, that residential uses are also
                       an a cceptable use of such lands, provided that the open
                       space    characteristics    are    maintained to the extent
                       possible.

                       Highland/Derby

                       Most of the shoreline is occupied by large residential
                       estates; several are now used by tax-exempt institutions.
                       In addition, a contemporary townhouse development has been
                       constructed on the bluffs overlooking Eighteen Mile Creek.
                       Undeveloped    sections of shoreline occur infrequently.
                       Residential densities of 3 to 4 units per acre typify much
                       of this sub-area of the Town's Waterfront Revitalization
                       Area. Commercial activity is practically nonexistent.

                       The land use plan proposes a continuation of existing
                       development      patterns    in   the    Highland/Derby     area.
                       Preservation of the Eighteen Mile Creek gorge as permanent
                       open    space    is   proposed;    due to its environmental
                       sensitivity, public use of this unique area must be
                       carefully evaluated.      A resource management plan prepared
                       jointly     with   the   Town    of   Hamburg could identify
                       appropriate guidelines for its future use.

                 2.    Sturgeon Point

                       The Sturgeon Point area presents the most significant
                       opportunity for future development of any area along the
                       Town of Evans waterfront. Substantial improvements to the

                         Town marina will result in the creation of a high-quality
                         harbor of refuge accommodating 200 moored boat. Reference
                         should be made to Map 10 for a graphic description Qf the
                         Plan.     The Erie County Water Authority property, which
                         covers 75 acres, is only partially occupied by treatment
                         facilities    and remains an opportunity for additional
                         recreational     development.        Finally,    the     55-acre
                         undeveloped    County-owned    parcel (including 1,4001 of
                         shoreline) provides a substantial opportunity for eventual
                         private residential development.

                         Proposed land uses reinforce existing patterns.              The
                         55-acre     County-owned     parcel     is   recommended     for
                         single-family    residential    development overlooking      the
                         shoreline    characterized by a 3 to 4 unit per             acre
                         density.     Portions of this parcel might also be used for
                         future marina needs and water enhanced commercial uses.
                         It should be noted that in the long term the residential
                         de nsity may be increased should public sewers become
                         available.       Such   a density increase would require
                         modifications to the Town Zoning Ordinance.           Use of a
                         portion     of  the Water Authority property for public
                         recreation is also proposed.

                         Elsewhere,. existing single-family residential patterns are
                         to be maintained. Also, existing agricultural activities
                         are proposed to' remain; however, should such activities
                         eventually terminate, a conversion of these lands to
                         low-density     single-family   residential    use should be
                         considered with densities of one to three units per acre.

                      patterns.    In this respect, residential densities of 1 to
                      4 units per acre are proposed.        Expansion and further
                      diversification of recreation facilities is recommended.
                      The    introduction    of    overnight     camping         at
                      County-maintained parks should be considered. Improved
                      fishing access to Big Sister Creek at Bennett Beach is
                      proposed.    Continued.use of Town-owned boat ramps for day
                      launches at Purvis Landing and at Wendt Road is also
                      recommended.

               4.     Grandview Bay:

                      Existing   uses   are   stable and well-established.        A
                      continuation of these land     use patterns is proposed.
                      Residential densities of 3     to 4 units per- acre are
                      proposed, similar in nature to existing densities.

               5.     Point Breeze/Lake Erie Beach:

                      Overall land use patterns in the area will be maintained.
                      Principal recommendations for this area address the need
                      for continued physical improvement efforts. The Lake Erie
                      Beach community is a recipient of community Development
                      Block Grant funding for rehabilitation of infrastructure
                      and buildings.    Residential densities of 2 to 3 units per
                      acre characterize this sub-area.

                      As a component of this effort, it is further proposed that
                      a major improvement project be implemented at the mouth of
                      Muddy   Creek which would create a significant public
                      recreation area. This Lake Erie Beach Park would include
                      a sand beach, playground, parking, picnic grounds, comfort
                      station, and extensive landscaping which will transform an
                      underutilized parcel into a valuable scenic and recreation

                                                  164

                      resource serving as a focus for continuing neighborhood
                      revitalization efforts.     Additional improvements to the
                      Muddy Creek channel will assist in alleviating seasonal
                      flooding that affects numerous residential properties in
                      the Lake Erie Beach community.         This concept plan is
                      described in detail under "proposed projects".

                      Finally, a new 300 slip marina at the Point Breeze
                      Campground has been proposed by a private individual.
                      Such a marina is currently undergoing the environmental
                      review process.     Issues such as impact on surrounding
                      neighborhood, sand deprivation to adjacent beaches, and
                      water quality are being addressed. The proposed marina's
                      consistency with the LWRP policies cannot be determined
                      until a draft EIS has been completed and above issues
                      addressed.

               B.     Water Uses

                      of the uses envisioned for Lake Erie adjacent to the Town
                      of Evanst recreation uses form the dominant component.
                      Swimming is popular at Evangola, Evans, Bennett Beach, and
                      Wendt   Beach   parks, as well as at numerous private
                      beaches.      Additional public swimming opportunities are
                      proposed at Lake Erie Beach. Sturgeon Point is a major
                      regional focus of sport fishing activities.        Big Sister
                      and Eighteen Mile Creeks also have important fish habitats
                      popular with area fishermen. The Sturgeon Point Marina as
                      well as numerous privately-owned boat launch ramps provide
                      access for pleasure boaters.

                                      TOWN OF EVANS

                           PROPOSED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROJECTS

             PROPOSED PROJECT 1: LAKE ERIE BEACH

             A   project featuring a joint public-private undertaking is
             proposed for the Town of Evans Waterfront Revitalization Area:

             A.    The Site

                   Lake Erie Beach is a privately-owned 5.3 acre parcel near
                   the southern end of the Town of Evans waterfront area (See
                   Map 11).     The parcel (owned by the Lake Erie Beach
                   Property Owners Association) contains a 2001 wide, 6001
                   long beach and a community center. Muddy Creek traverses
                   the southern third of the parcel, meandering across the
                   beach to an outlet in Lake Erie. Much of the south bank
                   of the creek is a relatively steep feature roughly 81 to
                   10, in height.      The area south of the creek contains
                   numerous mature trees. A narrow dirt road enters the site
                   in this area from Lake Shore Road and provides access to
                   the beach.     North of the creek, most of the parcel is
                   occupied by the beach. Terrain slopes gently downwards to
                   the lake from Lake Shore Road.         A small grassy area
                   immediately north of the creek includes a deteriorated
                   picnic shelter.     Two small roadways enter the site and
                   provide access to the beach and the community center. The
                   inland   boundary of the parcel adjoins several small
                   commercial establishments.

                   The site is located within a densely-developed residential
                   neighborhood containing both seasonal and year-round

                                             167

                       structures. Much of this neighborhood is drained by Muddy
                       Creek, which is associated with seasonal flooding.

                B.     The-Plan: (See Map 12):

                       The proposed concept plan prepared for Lake Erie Beach
                       emphasizes   development of an intensively-used bathing
                       beach    to   primarily    serve   neighborhood     residents.
                       Additional facilities to complement the beach include play
                       equipment, picnic areas, and parking.

                                                                                                    171

                D.     Phasing:

                       A three-phas ed development is recommended for Lake Erie
                       Beach Park as follows:

                       Phase 1:

                       Initial improvements are concentrated on the beach and
                       parking   facilities along Kennedy Avenue.           Restrooms,
                       landscaping    improvements,   pathways,    stairs,    and    a
                       lifeguard tower are recommended. In addition, realignment
                       of Muddy Creek and the installation of a pedestrian bridge
                       should be undertaken.       The total Phase I costs are
                       estimated at $142,750. (Note: At this time, creek channel
                       stabilization    is   anticipated to consist of rip-rap.
                       However, a detailed hydraulic study of Muddy Creek is
                       required to determine the most appropriate stabilization
                       technique.     The cost of such a study is approximately
                       $1,200).

                       Phase 2:

                       Picnic and fishing improvements along both banks of Muddy
                       Creek   are recommended.      Parking, pathways, shelters,
                       furniture,    and   landscaping   would    be provided.       A
                       playground would also be installed. Total Phase 2 costs
                       are estimated at $86,900.

                       Phase 3:

                       Efforts would be concentrated in the nothern half of the
                       park near the community center.          Roadway and parking
                       improvements,landscaping, pathways, and   'furniture would be
                       installed. Total Phase 3 costs are estimated at $56,150.

                                                   172

                   Construction is anticipated to occur during the 1990-1992
                   construction seasons.

             Proposed Proiect 2: STURGEON POINT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

                   The   description    which   follows outlines a potential
             long-range   private development opportunity on 53 acres of
             county-owned land along Sturgeon Point Road overlooking Lake
             Erie.

             A.    The Site

                   Erie County presently owns an irregularly shaped 53 acre
                   parcel immediately west of the County Water Authority
                   Treatment Plant (Refer to Map 7B) . The parcel is bisected
                   by Sturgeon Point Road, which runs southest to northwest.
                   The northern section includes a 14001 length of shoreline'
                   along the crest of a 501 high bluff overlooking the nearby
                   Sturgeon    Point   Marina.       Low   density     residential
                   development occurs along the western and southwestern
                   edges of the parcel.        Land to the south is largely
                   undeveloped or agricultural.       The site is covered with a
                   mixture of woodland and brush. Topography is generally
                   level.

             B.    The Concept:

                   As one of the few remaining undeveloped sites along
                   the    Erie County lakeshore, an opportunity exists to
                   develop a residential communiy of 100 to 150 housing
                   units.    Such a development would return exempt land to the
                   Town of Evans tax base, and would capitalize upon an
                   underutilized waterfront site. Presently, the lack of
                   sanitary    sewers   in    the   vicinity   makes     immediate

                                               173

                     development unfeasible.     Over the long term (10 years),
                     capital improvements to the infrastructure system will
                     permit the potential of this site to be realized.

                     Any such development will be set back from the edge of the
                     bluff a distance sufficient enough to ensure preservation
                     of the natural protective value of the bluff, as well as
                     to provide the opportuntiy for public access and to
                     maintain the scenic quality of the area.

                                           THE PROGRAM

             The Town of Evans currently has in place a number of statutory,
             financial,    and administrative mechanisms to assist in the
             implementation of adopted waterfront plans and policies. These
             include zoning, subdivision regulation, environmental review,
             and    floodplain management and permit requirements; capital
             budgeting a well as funding for operation, maintenance, and
             staffing of public facilities; and ongoing operations of the
             Town    Planning    Board,    which also functions as the Local
             Waterfront Advisory Committee.

             The following pages briefly describe existing implementation
             mechanisms, and list additional mechanisms for realization of
             local waterfront policy objectives.

             A.     LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATION NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT THE LWRP

                    1. Existing Local Laws and Regulations

                       a.    Zoning Law of the Town of Evans:

                             This   local    law   divides    the Town into ten
                             categories of zoning districts and regulates uses,
                             densities,    bulk,   open    spacest    and    parking
                             requirements.    The Planning Board is authorized to
                             undertake    site   plan    reviews in an advisory
                             capacity to the Town Board.

                    The Zoning Law serves to implement the following policies:

                                                177

                      1. Policy 5       Re: Location of Development in Area Where
                          Public Services are available - The lands within the
                          Coastal Zone which are not serviced by public sewers
                          are all zoned for large lot development. This directs
                          the more intensive uses to other areas.

                      2. Policy 11A - Re: Flooding within Special Flood Hazard
                          Areas.    The existing zoning ordinance prohibits most
                          ues from areas prone to periodic flooding.

                      3. Policy 26 -Re: Agricultural Protection.          The area
                          within the coastal zone subject to this policy is zoned
                          for residential-agricultural use.

                      4.  Policy 32 - Re: Use of Alternative Sanitary waste
                          systems. See item No. 1 above.

                      5.  Policy 33 - Re: Stormwater Runoff Control      the Zoning
                          ordinance prohibits land uses which change or alter
                          existing   surface drainage patterns as they affect
                          abutting property.

                      6.  Policy 36 - Re: Shipment and Storage of Petroleum and
                          Other Hazardous Materials.      Except for agricultural
                          purposes the storage of these materials is prohibited
                          in the coastal zone pursuant to the Zoning Ordianance
                          requirements.

                      7. Policy 39 - Re: Transport Storage, etc. of Solid Wastes
                          - Except for the southeast sector of the coastal zone
                          no solid waste facilities are permitted pursuant to the
                          Zoning Ordinance.

                                                 178

            .B.    Subdivision of Land Ordinance:

                   This local law establishes design standards and review
                   procedures for land subdivision and development proposals,
                   regulating items such as roadways, lot configuration,
                   drainage easements and utility easements. The Planning
                   Board    functions   in an advisory capacity on matters
                   concerning     site   plan    reviews,    and   forwards     its
                   recommendations to the Town Board for final approval
                   (Section 20A-1).

                   The Subdivision of Land Ordinance aids in implementing the
                   following LWRP policies.

                   1. Policy    33 - Re: Stormwater Runoff Control - The
                       ordinance requires easements where a subdivision is
                       travered by a watercourse, drainage way or channel.
     0                 The   easement   must    conform to the lines of the
                       watercourse    or     wider,    depending    on    drainage
                       requirements.

                   2.  Policy 11A - Re: Flooding Within Special Flood Hazard
                       Areas.    The ordinance prohibits platting of land for
                       residential use or other uses on lands subject to
                       flooding.

             C.    Floodplain Law

                   This local law restricts development in flood hazard
                   areas and floodways identified by the Federal Insurance
                   Administration.     The law assists in implementing the
                   following LWRP Policies:

                   1.       Policy 11A - Re: Flooding In Special Flood Hazard

                                               179

                               Areas        Restrictions are placed on building
                               construction techniques to protect property and
                               human safety in certain areas subject to flooding.

                2.     Policy  17 - Re: Use ot Non-Structural Measures to Minimize
                       Flooding   and    Erosion   Damage.       The    law includes
                       requirements    for   flood    proofing   buildings such as
                       construction above the base flood level.

                D.     Littering of Beaches Law:

                       This law prohibits the carrying or discarding of any glass
                       containers on or adjacent to any of the Lake Erie beaches
                       within the Town.

                       This law serves to implement the following LWRP policy.

                      1. Local Government Actions Necessary to Implement the

                         LWRP

                               a. Public Property Retention/Acquisition
                                  Shoreline   property    currently    under public
                                  ownership and dedicated to. recreational use

                                  develop portions of Erie County Water Authority
                                  property for recreational facilities.

                                  The Town will undertake efforts to provide
                                  additional shoreline access facilities at Lake
                                  Erie and along Eighteen Mile Creek.

                                                  182

                            b. Municipal Budgeting:

                                The Town will continue to reserve funds for the
                                construction- and ongoing maintenance of public
                                parks   and facilities within the waterfront
                                revitalization area.      Maintenance of drainage
                                channels and public infrastructure will also be
                                regularly undertaken.

                            c.  Non-Local Funding:

                                The Town will continue to identify State and
                                Federal   programs and other funding sources
                                which   may    become   available    to implement
                                waterfront development projects and plans such
                                as the proposed Lake Erie Beach Park. Relevant
                                programs are listed under "Federal and State
                                Programs    Likely   to Affect Implementation."
                                Town personnel will assist in the preparation
                                of specific grant applications to secure such
                                funding.

                             d. Eighteen Mile Creek Resource Management Study:

                                In cooperation with the Town of Hamburg a
                                resource management study for Eighteen Mile
                                Creek will be undertaken.         The Erie County
                                Department of Environment and Planning has also
                                identified the need for such a plan in their
                                1983    report   entitled    "Erie    County Sport
                                Fisherty Management Plan".       The major purpose
                                of   the    undertaking will be the continued
                                preservation    of   the fish habitat and the
                                archaeological, scenic, and recreational values

                                of the area.

                                                 183

                                  Funding assistance through the New York State
                                  Local Waterfront Revitalization Program will be
                                  sought for the program. A secondary approach
                                  to securing resources for plan completion will
                                  be   to   approach Erie County for technical
                                  assistance. The Town of Evans will aim at
                                  completing the plan in 1988.

                                  The   resource management plan will identify
                                  opportunities   for controlled access to the
                                  gorge   for   fishing    enthusiasts within the
                                  framework    of  private land ownership, land
                                  constraints and limited parking areas.

                              2. Private Actions Necessary to Implement the LWRP

                                  An opportunity for private investment exists in
                                  the Sturgeon Point area, primarily on a 53 acre
                                  Erie   County-owned   parcel    adjacent to the
                                  Sturgeon Point Marina.      This parcel is suited
                                  for residential development and would generate
                                  substantial benefits to the municipal tax base.

                                  In order to successfully implement the proposed
                                  Lake Erie Beach Park, the cooperation of the
                                  private    Lake   Erie   Beach   Property Owners
                                  Association (the current owner of the parcel)
                                  will be necessary. Transfer of title from the
                                  current owner to the Town is anticipated to be
                                  a requirement.

                            as a vehicle for intermunicipal coordination.

                            The  Town Supervisor's office will serve as the
                            lead local contact for the LWRP. The office will
                            be responsible for ensuring that all waterfront

                                coordinating LWRP efforts among all waterfront
                                municipalities in Erie County (including the

                                                 215

                                  Towns   of Brant, Evans, Hamburg, Tonawanda,
                                  Grand Island and the Cities of Lackawanna,
                                  Tonawanda and Buffalo).      Representatives from

                                  well   as   representatives    from all related
                                  agencies   carrying    out   waterfront     program
                                  policies or projects in Erie County. Another
                                  major function of the Task Force is to provide
                                  for an information exchange among both agency
                                  and LWRP municipal officials concerning each's
                                  waterfront concerns and interests.

                         0        Meeting Schedule:      The Erie County Waterfront
                                  Task   Force has met three times since the
                                  beginning of LWRP development in the waterfront
                                  municipalities.     The first meeting was held on
                                  August 1, 1984, the second meeting on February
                                  2, 1984, and a     third meeting on September 26,

                                  1984.

                         0        Accomplishments:     The Erie County Task Force
                                  meetings   provided    a   needed mechanism for
                                  information    exchange   and   coordination     of
                                  waterfront activities among government agencies
                                  and municipalities.      It serves as an alert
                                  mechanism by which potentially controversial,
                                  inconsistent,    duplicative   efforts    can    be
                                  identified.     Attendance at the meetings has
                                  been excellent.      The support demonstrated by
                                  Task Force participants has established the
                                  Task Force as a viable, effective entity for
                                  coordinating     waterfront    planning     on    a
                                  Countywide basis. The attention the media has
                                  given these meetings is indicative of the Task

                                                    216

                                Force's meaningful role in waterfront planning.

              2.     TECHNICAL CONSULTATION

                     o Description:      Issue oriented conversations have been
                        held. with several governmental agendies on a need basis
                        concerning    the   development of the Town of Evans
                        waterfront revitalization program.

                     o  U.S.   Army    Corps of Engineers - Consultation has
                        occurred with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineeers in
                        relation to the Town's waterfront program because of
                        the Corps involvement in developing the Sturgeon Point
                        Marina and in relation to the Corps study of Muddy
                        Creek in the Lake' Erie Beach area.            As projects
                        progress, continuing involvement with the Corps of
                        Engineers will be necessary.
              11.    CONFLICT RESOLUTION METHODS

                     A. METHOD

                        The consultation methods noted in Part I also provide a
                        mechanism    to    resolve   conflicts both general and
                        municipality oriented concerning the Local Waterfront
                        Revitalization Program.       These methods include Erie
                        County     Waterfront    Task   Force    meetings,     agency
                        consultations, and written communications.

                        In    addition to these methods, two other conflict
                        resolution methods have been utilized: 1) Erie County
                        Waterfront Policy Plan and 2) SEQR Coastal Assessment.

                                                  217

                      1. ERIE COUNTY WATERFRONT POLICY PLAN:

                      This plan was prepared by the Erie County Department of
                      Environment and Planning in 1983.           The plan provides
                      policies pertaining to waterfront management that focus on
                      ensuring    consistent    and   up    to date approaches to
                      waterfront issues facing the area. The plan has been used
                      as a reference resource throughout the development of the
                      municipal local waterfront revitalization pograms. The
                      plan also will be used as a reference by which the County,
                      through its integrated review process reviews appropriate
                      local waterfront actions for consistency and impacts.
                      This type of review enables the early identification of
                      potential conflicts and recommends alternative actions or
                      means to resolve the conflicts.

                      2. SEOR COASTAL ASSESSMENT:

                      It is anticipated that as part of the SEQR process the
                      evaluation    as    required    by   the   Coastal Assessment
                      procedures will provide a major means to identify and
                      resolve    conflicts     between   federal, state and local
                      agencies.

                      o   New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
                          - Due to the NYSDEC's participation in the Sturgeon
                          Point Marina project there is continuous need to keep
                          DEC informed of related waterfront program development
                          issues.    Planned activities in the Lake Erie Beach area
                          concerning    Muddy    Creek   realignment also requires
                          information exchange.       An official meeting was held
                          with New York State DEC staff on May 3, 1984 concerning
                          elements of the municipalities' waterfront programs.
                          At the time, specifics of the Town of Evans program
                          were explained re: policies, uses and projects.

                                                    218

                   o   Coordination    with   LWRP's    in    adjacent waterfront
                       municipalities:     Town of Brant, Town of Hamburg. As
                       part of waterfront program development in these three
                       municipalities,    there has been a special emphasis
                       placed on assessing impacts each program might have on
                       the other. of particular interest is the impact of the
                       Sturgeon Point marina project on the development of a
                       marina in the Town of Hamburg.

                   o   Briefing with elected federal, state, local officials
                       representing    the Town of Evans - These officials
                       participate.   in . Erie County. Waterfront Task Force
                       meetings and often they and/or their representatives
                       attend advisory committee meetings. A special briefing
                       session on the LWRP was held for County Legislators on
                       April 16, 1984.

                    0  Accomplishments: Consultation on the technical aspects
                       of the Town of Evans program with all appropriate
                       agencies    and government representatives has proved
                       necessary since few really understand the parameters of
                       developing a local waterfront revitalization program.
                       These conversations should help provide the basis for
                       consistency with agency program and policies.

             3.     WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS

                    o  Description: In order to assure that all relevant
                       waterfront agencies were kept informed of progress
                       being made on the development of the local waterfront
                       revitalization    program, two methods were uesed as

                             regional agencies on April 17, 1984 which reviewed
                             all    aspects   of   the Town's local waterfront
                             revitalization     program.       Included    was    an
                             explanation of the Town's waterfront policies, and
                             coastal area projects, and program implementation

                       The Town of Evans has established and carried out in
                       conjunction with Erie County and the other waterfront LWRP
                       municipalities in Erie County procedures for obtaining
                       local commitment to its Local Waterfront Revitalization
                       Program.     A two tier method was selected to facilitate
                       understanding and commitment at the municipal level and
                       also    promote information sharing and coordination of
                       LWRP's     among  all   participating    LWRP   Erie     County
                       municipalities    as   well   as    with related waterfront
                       agencies.

                       .Two types of advisory committees comprise this two tier
                       approach    in   the   Town    of   Evans including (1) an
                       intermunicipal Erie    County Waterfront Task Force and (2)
                       designation of. the    Town's Planning Board as the LWRP
                       advisory committee.

                       These groups met throughout the LWRP preparation process
                       and     provided  valuable   guidance to Town and County
                       officials.     Two public meetings were also held to obtain
                       citizen feedback.
