LAND DEVELOPMENT

MAKING LAND USEFUL WITH PROFIT

TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT
Residential: Single family, duplex, townhouse, apartments, and condominiums. Commercial: Professional office, stores, malls. Industrial: single developments and industrial parks. Recreational:

Amusement - land use, local impact, access, liability, population supply. 2. Recreation - private clubs and sporting
1.

3. 4.

Resorts complete facility

Parks state and federal


Use or ownership shared

Residential incorporate a residential development around recreational site.

CONCEPTS AND ROLES OF THE LAND SURVEYOR


Purpose of land development is to make the environment more useful and comfortable for humanity.
Must be done in an organized and planned

manner. Most often must be able to create a profit. Must meet political; economic; and aesthetics, while maintaining solid engineering principles.

CONCEPTS AND ROLES OF THE LAND SURVEYOR

Land Use Controls: exist to protect public health, safety and welfare.

Enabling Acts: passed in 1920s federal laws permitting states to pass zoning and subdivision laws.

Zoning Regulations: use of land-use controls to protect the rights of the individual property owner and rights of others with in the community

3 Basic areas: residential, commercial, and industrial Changed through exceptions and variances can occur must shoe individual and public both benefit

CONCEPTS AND ROLES OF THE LAND SURVEYOR

Land Subdivision Regulations:

State, county, municipal: Provides legal definition of a subdivision Who can prepare Monument requirements Procedures for approval; design standards; construction requirements Designed to protect individual to assure that access, utilities, drainage, open space, adequate building space, are all provided.

LAND SURVEYORS ROLE


The role of the land surveyor varies depending on

state some on design (Indiana) At minimum: boundary survey; create subdivision; topographic survey and construction stakeout. Can include: speaking for developer and limited design
State dependent: horizontal and vertical street alignment;

sanitary and storm sewer, etc.

STEPS FOR A LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT


1.
2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Est. at least 2nd order control traverse near boundary. Complete boundary survey Est. benchmark system Prepare topographic map Determine plan for streets, lots, utilities, etc. Develop preliminary drawing Obtain approval of preliminary design Compute direction and distance of lots and streets, also engineering design

STEPS FOR A LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT


Prepare plat of subdivision; final topo map and engineering plans 10. Set all monuments 11. Obtain final approval 12. Have developer record plat and topo map
9.

APPROVAL BY MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES


Make sure zoning laws and subdivision ordinances are met. 2. Permits must be obtained
1.
a. b. c. d.

Streets and access entrance permits Sewage facilities sanitary and storm Water system - EPA Others as needed

3.

Owner sill want municipality to take over maintenance of streets, sewer, water, etc.

Any items not to be dedicated establish maintenance methods

TWO MAJOR REQUIREMENTS FOR APPROVAL


1.

Development must contribute to the value of adjacent tracts; comply to master plan and add to tax base.

OVERALL, LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS INCLUDE:


1. 2. 3.

Boundary and Topographic Surveys Construction Surveys Design and Construction of:
a. b. c. d. e. f.

Access Flood Control and Drainage Facilities Potable Water Collection and Treatment of solid and waterborne waste Utilities Recreation facilities

4.

Coordination and Communication with Interest Groups

EACH PROJECT IS DIFFERENT Some of these differences include:


1. What developer wants 2. Economic (available funds) 3. Existing conditions (large factor) 1. Develop project to use existing in best way 2. Never accept existing maps - check

INTEREST GROUPS TO BE WORKED WITH:


1. Governing bodies: municipal and county

(planning commission) 2. Developer: Range from those who take pride in quality and a profit to those only interested in profit
Minimize delays and unneeded costs Dont let desire for profit overshadow duty

3. Contractor: Develop a plan that can be built 4. Home Buyer: create safe and pleasant area Account for special populations

INTEREST GROUPS TO BE WORKED WITH:


5. Public and Community: Increase overall value Affects: traffic, taxes, schools, etc.
6. Environmentals: Concern with protecting and

preserving natural environment

Environmental Impact Statements large projects

7. Professionals: Engineers, Architects, etc. Work for interest of client and are controlled and limited by regulations, codes, ethics, and standards.

RESIDENTIAL PLANNING CONCEPTS


The actual planning of a subdivision is much more than just following a set of regulations.
Development Concepts: Traditionally individual lots for single family dwellings with access streets Other needs require dedication and each are zoned for single purpose

RESIDENTIAL PLANNING CONCEPTS


PUDs (Planned Unit Developments) Integrated plan of residents, community shopping, recreation, open space, schools all mixed into small communities Requires changes in zoning concepts Generally large scope developments Neighborhood Unit concept: residential neighborhood

created around a central focus Pattern based on lot arrangement

Conventional lot and block Lots and streets with no open or recreation areas Most intense land use, small lots

RESIDENTIAL PLANNING CONCEPTS


Cluster Development Lot and block system but side and/or back yard are developed for common parks or open spaces Must have home owners association to care for commons areas
Pattern Based on Street Arrangement Street location can dictate lot pattern Rectangular most common
Lot and block with square corners Pattern is visually monotonous and disregards topo Easy to design and develop

RESIDENTIAL PLANNING CONCEPTS


Curvilinear: similar to rectangular but streets are

curved to fit topography


meet terrain

Relieved repetition, slows speed, overall development can

Radial: resembles spokes of a wheel Useful if some central focus is needed or exists Can cause problems with triangular lots Linear: development along both sides of single road

RESIDENTIAL PLANNING CONCEPTS


Loops and Cul-De-Sacs Loop U shaped, Cul-de-sac Used to minimize repetition in rectangular or curvilinear systems Also provides additional access Can also be used to create small cluster communities within a development Coving and Bayhome Concept Purpose developing land at a lower cost while creating superior communities Provides more desired density Increased safety Decreased run off

COVING

Coving combines both the bending of streets and setbacks creating more open space; generally the ROW is reduced 35% The Basics:
Winding street pattern reduces or eliminates side streets and total number of individual streets 2. Lineal feet of streets typically reduced 20-40% while maintaining density and four way intersections minimized 3. Open space within entire community increased 4. Pedestrian walkways positioned to follow a curvilinear path separate from streets
1.

COVING
5. Road remains at widths recommended 6. Layout reduces views of home sides or rears and

homes rarely face another home front or rear which gives enhanced privacy 7. Streetscape consists of park like green space which meander from one side of the street to the other 8. Average lot size increases by 10-20% with extra typically in home fronts

BAYHOMING

Bayhoming uses the same concepts as coving but with more density

Requirements:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Coving is based on single family ownership, while with bayhomes the land and all items outside the home are held in common ownership with a homeowners association Coving incorporates townhouses in a staggered format

Bayhomes have no individual lot, this allows for larger infrastructure reduction While coving provides smooth curves with no staggering, Bayhomes can be greatly staggered creating more panoramic views from within homes Parking is in rear with screened walls and landscaping hiding vehicles from public collector streets Bayhomes have large front porches Front of home is toward common areas

BENEFITS AND CONCEPTS OF COVING AND BAYHOMING

PRESERVING THE SENSE OF THE COMMUNITY PRIORITIZE VIEW REDUCE INFRASTRUCTURE AFFORDABILITY SAFER STREETS FEWER INTERSECTIONS OPEN SPACES MINIMIZE ERROSION AND SEDIMENT POLLUTION MORE TREE SPACE NO SQUARE LOTS

ADVANTAGES TO MUNICIPALITY
LESS INFRASTRUCTURE TO MAINTAIN 2. LESS LAW ENFORCEMENT DUE TO INCREASED SECURITY AND LACK OF INTERSECTIONS 3. DUE TO AVAILABLE SPACE, PEOPLE DO NOT FLEE URBAN SPRAWL
1.

DENSITY

Population Density density affecting quality of life.

To many creates noise, lack of privacy, and increased conflicts To few can create lack of socialization, excess travel, and high cost of community services Most commonly expressed as Dwelling Units/Acre (DC/Ac)

Gross density units/acre of total land Residential density units/acres of land including streets, public facilities, etc. Net density units/acre of land devoted only to residence Can also be a variable using people/acre Typical residential density below 2 DU/Ac is low with common design value of 2 5 DU/Ac

EXAMPLE
3 DU/AC IS DESIRED 25% LAND AREA IS STREETS AND OPEN AREA THUS 75% OF 43560 OR 32670 ft GOES INTO 3 LOTS THUS 10890 ft/ LOT TYPICAL LOT SIZE COULD BY 90x120 x 43560 = 32670ft 32670/ 3 = 10890ft/lot

SITE ANALYSIS AND SUITABILITY

USGS topos provide a rough source for this Also check SCS and others for maps Site Suitability: depends on viewpoint of person

Includes: use which provides most profit Use that provide maximum enjoyment and highest life quality Use that preserves or improves the balance of nature and is least disruptive to the environment

TOPOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE PATTERNS

Affects: streets, drainage, views, earthwork, erosion, environmental


Soils and geology: soil type and presence of rock

Gently rolling terrain best - 2-5% slopes 5-10% can also provide good sites with increased cost Slopes over 20% require special considerations Matching the topo is essential Depth of water table

Environmental factors: orientation and shape of sites


How to use natural features as a benefit Sun angle, trees, noise, wildlife and aesthetic character of site

SUBDIVISION DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND STANDARDS

Usual standards, develop a checklist Geometric Principles

Streets, sidewalks, intersections, lots and easements all depend on geometric principles Following them simplifies design and layout and balance and symmetry prevail Follow terrain Front lot lines should be straight or arcs and side lines should be either perpendicular or radial to street ROW

BLOCK AND LOT STANDARDS

Blocks: directly relates to streets; not required

Length, shape, slope and general arrangement normally regulated


Max length normally between 1000 1500 Shape dependent on terrain and tract shape

Lots: must have satisfactory building site and be properly related to topography

Must have vehicle access to local street Standards can specify minimum width and depth

Avoid double frontage

Min width 70 typical Depth normally approx. 3 times width 20 50 setback at front with 5 10 side and back

DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

Retention No runoff Detention Controlled, limited runoff Development will always cause additional runoff

Drainage design based on average and 5-50 yr rainfall

Utilize topography to minimize amount to be handles

Runoff depends on: permeability of soil; slope; topography; climate; and amount of rainfall

Charts and info: West of 103W longitude NOAA Atlas 2; East of 103W longitude USWB TP-40 and/or NWS Hydro 35

DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

Soil types and Runoff (NRCS)

Group A: low runoff, high infiltration (sand/gravel) water transfer 0.3/hr Group B: moderate infiltration, deep well drained soil (fine-course texture) water transmission 0.15-0.3/hr Group C: low infiltration; layered soil (mod.fine fine texture) water transmission 0.05-0.15/hr Group D: high runoff, very low infiltration, clay soil in pan or layer near surface water transmission 0-0.05/hr Levels:

Surface Roughness affects runoff: Coefficient of Roughness

Smooth paved surfaces 0.011 Cultivated 0.05 0.17 Grassland: short 0.15; dense 0.24; Bermuda 0.41 Woods: light underbrush 0.40; heavy underbrush 0.80

COMPUTE RUNOFF BASED ON NRCS METHODS


1. 2.

Determine the watershed area from the topo map Establish the storm period and corresponding 24 hour rainfall

Storm period intensity 2yr, 5yr, 10yr, 20yr, 25yr, 50yr, and 100yr
10yr normally used, many use 25yr for safety

Calculate initial maximum retention after runoff begins 4. Calculate peak discharge for area Use Rational Method Q=CiA
3.
Q=quantity of runoff in cu.ft/sec C=coefficient of runoff (ratio of water runoff to water falling) i=intensity of rainfall (inches/hour) A=drainage area (acres)

STORM SEWER AND CULVERT DESIGN


Must be determined based upon runoff computed and peak;

slope and pipe characteristics


Manning Formula

V=flow velocity (ft/sec) R=hydraulic radius (cross sectional area of flowing water/length of wetted surface of pipe) in feet = D/4 (full pipe) S=expected slope (decimal) n=roughness factor (0.015 0.025) Slope: min 10 pipe = 0.28%; 12 = 0.22%
Best to use 0.4% Want to keep flow at 2-10 ft/sec Open channel compute same way Slope: 2% - 10%

RETENTION AND DETENTION FACILITIES


Retention facility has no discharge
Detention facility has limited discharge Generally designed to hold runoff until existing stream can handle additional flow Maximum discharge is limited to peak storm runoff rates Can be achieved through lakes, ponds, subsurface basins, dutch (french drains),& sumps

SYSTEM DESIGN
Two conditions exist either alone or in combination: Site subject to sheet or overland flow Site subject to channelized flow Must realize that in residential development much

additional runoff occurs: typical lot +1/2 ROW = 0.4 Ac.


House roof 1600 sq ft Driveway 600 sq ft Patio 400 sq ft Roadway 1500 sq ft

4100 sq ft = 0.094 Ac or approx area

SEDIMENTATION AND ERROSION CONTROL


Select sites with drainage patterns, topo and soils suitable for development 2. Incorporate:
1.
1. 2.

Expose smallest area for least amount of time Retain topsoil to recover graded areas and protect natural vegetation 3. Seclude plantings, seeding, mulching and stone surfacing as needed 4. Use sediment basins and silt traps 5. Install permanent vegetation and long term erosion protection If lake or pond is included a dead storage area for sedimentation should be included upstream of the lake.

Should make sure they do not:


1. 2.

3.
4. 5.

Contaminate drinking water supply Allow insects, rodents or other disease carriers to multiply Be accessible to children Pollute or contaminate surface waters Create foul odor and appearance

INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS
Traditional: Septic & Absorption Field
Conventional Gravel Absorption Field: trench 12-36

wide with 14 course aggregate and perforated 4 pipe covered with geotextile
Percolation test: timing settlement of water over time

Length of absorption field directly related to soils absorption

ability (perk test) Sand filters evaporation and absorption bed


small holding tank field encased in sand

New method is to have it expanded over a large area and have

plantings over it.

PUMP STATIONS

Used to transport material under pressure, can not be tapped Collection System:

Min pipe size = 8 Place sewer either along ROW or at back lines Separate from waterlines by 10 horiz. and vert. Manhole placed at all bends, intersections, changes in slope with no section longer than 400 Manhole: precast; drop Pump station with force main Lift station

POTABLE WATER SYSTEMS


Pg 557-610 TEXT Often last system to be designed Must look at water source (FIRST) Must look at Average and Maximum Daily Demand and Max. Hourly Demand
Normal daily use per capita = 50-150 gallons

Waterlines must maintain a min of 20 lb psi Water storage tank if large development may be beneficial
Fire storage reserve: 1000 gal/min x 2hr = 120,000 gal One day reserve: 150 gal/person/day x 1000 people = 150,000 gal These determine min tank size(23.5dia x24tall=75000 gal)

WATERLINE
2 types: Loop System and Branch System
Each has gate valves at each intersection of mains and between main and fire hydrants
4 way valves at all crosses Other valves usually placed between 500-1000 intervals

Depth: based on frost penetration. 3.5 in extreme Southern Illinois, 4 in Carbondale, 4.5-5 in Champaign, and 5.5-6 in Chicago Parts: piping (usually PVC) may require ductile iron
Thrust block: block forms placed to transfer angular force to soil and needed to keep joints together.

WATERLINE
Valves:
Shut off: gate or butterfly type placed in system for repair or emergency purposes Check valve: control direction of water flow Pressure Reducing Valve: reduce inlet pressure to a controlled outlet pressure Altitude Control Valve: control flow in and out of tank
Often direct linked to pump stations

Air Release Valve: used to release trapped air at high points in lines Back Flow Preventers: antisiphon valves used to protect safe water from contaminated systems

Laterals: service lines, normal size is to 1

Wetlands Determination Study

Based on Section 404 of Clean Water Act and Section of Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899

Jurisdiction of Corps of Engineers and EPA Defined: area containing hydric soil, periodic flood water, or hydrophile plants (hydrophytic plants are plant life growing in water, soil, or on substrate which is periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content.)

Areas where wetlands occur must have on-site inventory of dominant plant genus and species.

50% of dominant plant types

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Hydraulic soil soil that is saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during growing season to develop anaerobic conditions (lack of oxygen) in the upper parts.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
2.

Off site wetlands inventory


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Locate development on USGS 7.5min and relate to wetland features that denote possible wetlands Study National Wetlands Inventory map to determine potential wetland areas on site. Study soil survey map (SCS) to determine if hydric soil exist. Study aerial photos potential wetlands Review any available wetland studies in area Make determination based on 1-5 conduct on site inspections to make final decision

WETLANDS

Often surveyors are 1st to visit property and potential wetland info. Should be included in topo. No uniform definition

Differ between regulatory bodies 1987 Corp of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual 1989 Federal Interagency Manual for Identifying and Delineating Wetlands

Most wetlands in areas of low relief, topographic depressions.

Can also be found in all other areas with groundwater discharge

WETLANDS

Formal delineation takes extensive training, but wetlands are generally defined by:

Hydraulic soils Hydrophytic vegetation Wetland hydrology Soils saturated at or near surface or inundated for sufficient length of time to allow microorganisms to deplete available oxygen in the soils Water does not have to be on surface

Wetland Hydrology: presence of water

WETLANDS

Indicators:
1. 2. 3. 4.

Wetland (Hydrophytic) vegetation

Evidence of flooding Water marks or stains on trees Obvious standing water or soil saturation Blackened or discolored fallen leaves

Plants that have adapted to growing in wet conditions Field guides to wetland plants Indicators:
Shallow root systems Wind thrown and fallen leaves Buttressed tree trunks Inflated or floating stems or leaves Trees with multiple trunks from same base

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

WETLANDS

Wetland (Hydric) soil

Biological and chemical process occurs that alters color of soil Normally wet soils are grey or black with prominent orange or red iron stains

Soil colors Munsell Soil Color Charts Grey or black colors Sulfidic odors Peat or muck accumulations

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Based on Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 makes property owners liable for cleanup 2. Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986 limits liability if proper investigations were performed as to existence of substances prior to purchase 3. Any indication of potential hazards means owner is liable

To provide a data base, documentation, and forecasts from which future decisions could be made.

2.

EIS was to be a mechanism for integrated planning

To identify the extent of both recognized and potential losses, the implications of the losses, and prepare information in such a way so it can e understood by government and public Many times developers would prepare their EIS into volumes with as much technical data as possible to try to get approval Often is used as a reason to justify decisions by governmental bodies

Tie projects up for so long as to make them impractical

2 WAYS ECOLOCY CAN BE USED AS A BASIS FOR PLANTING DESIGN


Essentially to guess what will work. 2. Plants are selected based on soil/climate, appearance and other relevant environmental determinants
1.

3 DIVISIONS OF PLANT TYPES


1. CANOPY those trees that define or limit

overhead plane 2. UNDERSTORY combination of small trees, large shrubs, and climbing vines under canopy trees 3. GROUND COVER grasses, ground vines, and wildflowers

VEG. SHOULD BE EVALUATED BASED ON:


Aesthetic value Disease resistance Life span of trees Wind firmness Wildlife value Comfort index Ability to withstand higher radiated heat from paved surfaces and buildings 8. Future growth with respect to utilities
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

UTILIZING TREES IN WOODED AREA


1. These trees have shallow roots: may be

best to conserve in clumps 2. Many mature trees will not survive a violent change of habitat. 3. Changes in ground water (amounts and quality) can cause problems 4. Area around trees should not be filled (disturbs access of air, water, and minerals)

ROLES OF PLANTS IN DEVELOPMENT


1. Wind control 1. Obstruction 2. Filtration 3. Deflection
2. Erosion control 3. Energy conservation 4. Wildlife habitat

PLANTING CAN BE USED:


1. In combination with buildings to extend

2. 3. 4.
5.

architectural lines or as a screen to enhance architecture As skyline To define sheltered areas or act as buffer between activity areas Enhance, blocks, frames, a view for building site As educational source

PRINCIPLES TO CONSIDER WHEN DEVELOPING PLANTING PLAN:


1.

2.
3.

4.
5.

Plan should reflect a predominance of one type of plant or a similar texture, color, or form within a grouping Exercise restraint relative to the number of different plants used in plan Select plants with common soil, climate, and water requirements Maintenance of hedges is time consuming, consider growth habit and mature size Develop plants so they do not rely on the quality of any particular tree or plant

PLANT SELECTION BASED ON AT LEAST ONE OF THESE CRITERIA:


1. Plants ability to live and flourish in the

specific environment 2. Knowledge as to existing trees on site and their healthy growth on adjacent sites 3. Plants that require low maintenance and/or low water amounts 4. Plants for a specific purpose (shade, contrast, color, and size)

CLIMATE AND SITE


THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE: 1. Develop exterior spaces that utilize local climate norms and extremes to expand availability of thermanlly comfortable outdoor areas 2. Reduce thermal loads on buildings

CLIMATE AND SITE


FOUR BASIC CLIMATIC ELEMENTS 1. Solar radiation reaches us in the form of direct, diffuse, and reflected radiation

4 methods of control and modification


1. 2. 3. 4.

Admission Obstruction Filtration Reflection

Vegetation: trees can absorb 60-90% of solar radiation

CLIMATE AND SITE


2. Air temperature only minimum

changes can be caused relative measure of thermal energy in the air


Control and modification: by controlling solar radiation and air movement Vegetation: air temperature is lowered due to evaporation process, but humidity levels increase. (this is often a small difference)

CLIMATE AND SITE


3. Relative humidity

only minimum changes can be caused provide shade that does not limit air movement Humidity can be increased by including water in areas

CLIMATE AND SITE


4. Air movement to utilize the beneficial

effects must be aware of how site characteristics affect air motion

Vegetation: when used to protect from cold winter winds it is a windbreak Airflow is affected by shape and density of windbreak Airflow is affected 5-10 times windbreak height on windward and up to 30 times height on leeward side

CLIMATE AND SITE

OUTDOOR WILDLIFE RELATED ACTIVITIES

2001 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife Associated Recreation

1. Nationally $108 billion spent on wildlife related activities 2. Illinois $1.35 billion spent

DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF OUTDOOR RECREATION

Recreation is often a delivery of opportunities for individuals and society most often provided by government Benefits include:
1. 2. 3. 4.

Economic development Protection or preservation of the resource Education and learning Maintenance or improvement of physical health

PROCESS FOR PLANNING


Determine which benefits are demanded from which areas 2. Determine the extent to which the resource base can be used to deliver benefits 3. Must take into account: budgets, technology, resource capability, current uses of resources, and non-recreational resource demands on area 4. Determine which management actions are to be used
1.

FOLLOW UP ACTIVITIES
1. Monitoring the actions taken to determine if

appropriate benefits are being developed 2. Monitor societies demands to see if original demands still exist

Wildlife recreation planning manuals and handbooks are being developed by Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service

WHEN DEVELOPING A RECREATIONAL PLAN ONE SHOULD:


Estimate demand for possible recreational activities 2. Conduct capability analysis of land and water in plan area to determine potential of existing resources 3. Determine what recreational opportunities already exist on site 4. Conduct suitability analysis to determine where and how recreational activities should be provided
1.

WHEN DEVELOPING A RECREATIONAL PLAN ONE SHOULD:


5. Incorporate recreational activities with

other resource uses 6. Develop alternative use plans 7. Choose plan that reflects the most desirable use of resources 8. Develop activity and project plans consistent with resource use chosen.

PROJECTED DEMAND INCREASE 1980-MID 2000S

TYPE OF USE DIVDED INTO 6 RECREATION ACTIVITY CLASSES


1. Primitive 2. Semi-primitive non motorized 3. Semi-primitive motorized 4. Roaded-natural

5. Semi-urban
6. urban

CAPABILITY ANALYSIS

Permits identification of inherent Recreational Opportunity potential of the resources and of inherent attractiveness of resource for recreation

CRITERIA TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL


1. Remoteness from sights and sounds of

man and access by road 2. Size of area 3. Amount of irreversible evidence of man 4. Amount of apparent renewable resource modification

SIZE OF AREA REQUIREMENTS

Primitive 5,000 acres


Semi-primitive 2,500 acres Roaded Natural, Semi-urban, Urban 1 acre

INVESTIGATE THE PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES

1. 2. 3. 4.

5.

LOOK FOR: Evidence of use Frequency of encounters of uses User density per acre Facility and site management User regulation

SUITABLIITY ANALYSIS AND CHOOSING AN ALLOCATION


Use the previous and look at: 1. Budget, technology, legislative and administrative policy, resource capability, and the use of resources to produce nonrecreational outputs 2. Guidelines for selection capacities within the acceptable range

Low capabilities where landscape is open (little vegetative cover and flat topography) 2. High capabilities are selected where there are more potential

Power boating and waterskiing Sailing Ocean/lake/river swimming Surfboarding or scuba diving Fishing Tent camping R.V. camping Golfing Horseback riding

ECONOMICS OF RECREATION AND PLANNING

Massachusetts Bay Colony passed the Great Pond Act in 1641

Required that everybody of water 10 acres or more be kept open to public for fishing and hunting

Central Park in New York established in 1850s Late 1800s saw creation of: Yosemite Valley, Yellowstone, Mackinac Island, Niagara Falls Much of this through efforts of Teddy Roosevelt Recreational planning still deals with 2 basic elements: man and land

TODAY PLANNERS HAVE 3 IMPORTANT TOOLS:


1. Greater public awareness and support

no longer ignored

2. Adequate legislation

3. Ready availability of public monies - ?

SITE DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA


PROCESS: 1. Identify and categorize the capability of recreational use 2. Identification of recreational uses possible 3. Recreational activities/facilities are chosen based upon:

1. Appropriateness to site

2. Current demand

SITE DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA


4. Sutegrate capability/suitability with

recreational activity and facilities 5. Select site assessment indicators (unique natural characteristics of site) 6. Related site assessment indicators to Recreational Appropriateness Index

THREE USE CATEGORIES:


1. Preservation (limited use) areas unique

and fragile 2. Passive Recreation (moderate use) areas more numerous and capable of withstanding more human intervention 3. Active Recreation (intensive use) areas resilient to intensive use by large groups for short periods/generally quite accessible

3 CATEGORIES OF LOCATIONAL SUITABLE ACTIVITIES


1. WATER BASED 2. WATER ENHANCED

3. NON-WATER RELATED

PLANNING SHOULD INCLUDE:


1. Development of a resource base

inventory 2. Determine suitability of 3 management objectives 3. Identify conflicts where overlapping occurs 4. Develop balanced management program

ECONOMICS OF RECREATION
1. Those activates which cost neither

participant or others anything other than energy and imagination 2. Those conceived and undertaken for the purpose of making money 3. Public recreation which costs money generally seen as responsibility of the government

RECREATIONFACILITY ARE APLIT INTO 3 ELEMENTS:


1. Cost of land purchase and or removal

form tax base

2. Cost of capital improvements

3. Cost of maintenance and operation
