18 Waterfront SGRAT MICHIGAN Michigan s Coastal Communities Assess Waterfront Smart Growth Success Accessible walkways and scenic views are key elements for waterfront smart growth. PHOTO COURTESY OF MICHIGAN SEA GRANT The potential of Michigan s waterfront communities to attract people for work, living, and play is hampered when waterfronts lack public access, walkability, or a mix of scenic and civic uses. Now a self-assessment tool and workshop can help communities support their waterfronts to be sustainable and economically vibrant centers for public life. Michigan s Waterfront Smart Growth Readiness Assessment Tool is a voluntary self-audit that is undertaken by officials and stakeholders in waterfront communities during facilitated workshops. In 2010 and 2011, eight communities piloted the tool, and more communities will participate in the coming months. The online tool asks the community to rate its performance on waterfront smart growth principles such as compact community design, the preservation of open space and natural beauty, community collaboration, and other factors (see Smart Growth Coastal and Waterfront Elements ). It s exciting to see different parts of a community come together with a vision for their waterfront seeing where they are right now and where they might want to be. Mark Breederland, Michigan Sea Grant The Michigan Citizen Planner, Planning and Zoning Center, and Land Policy Institute of Michigan State University (MSU) developed the waterfront smart growth tool, which was inspired by and adapted from MSU s original Smart Growth Readiness Assessment Tool. Michigan Sea Grant and MSU s Greening Michigan Institute facilitate the workshops and complete final reports. Tool development was funded by NOAA s Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management through Michigan s Coastal Zone Management Program. the waterfront. The waterfront may be dominated by one or two types of uses that are spread out, instead of a mix of uses placed close together that draw many people. Or it may have transitioned from water-dependent uses, like fisheries, to non-water-dependent uses such as condo construction that block scenic views or access to natural resources. ONE CITY S EXPERIENCE The City of Alpena and its surrounding township are located in northeastern Michigan along Lake Huron s Thunder Bay and Thunder Bay River. Moreover, in 2010 a new zoning ordinance adopted by the City of Alpena included a mixed-use waterfront development district that encourages property ownership and water-related land uses while opening up public access to the waterfront. One thing the assessment made clear is that we needed a better working knowledge of how our local waterfront ASSETS AND CHALLENGES regulation process related to state and federal regulations, It s exciting to see different parts of a community come says Sundin. As a result, we are strengthening this weak Strengthen and direct development toward existing together with a vision for their waterfront seeing understanding With 3,288 miles the of coast, second permits in length only to they need, which agencies have information link so we can better assist our riverfront property communities to and encourage waterfront revitalization. where they are right now and where they might want Alaska, Michigan has many waterfront assets. owners in understanding the permits they need, which Provide a variety of land- and waterbased transportation options. to be, says Mark Breederland, an extension educator be involved, The state s and coastal communities how front four to Great start Lakes and the process. agencies have to be involved, and how to start the process. and workshop facilitator for Michigan Sea Grant. provide homes for 44 percent of Michigan s population.

Waterfront communities have a competitive advantage because people want to work and play there, says Breederland. Many of our towns want to strengthen their waterfront economy by preserving character and public access, but challenges may be in the way. This tool was developed to help them understand both their success and their problems, so they can succeed. With results in on the pilot, the project partners are now considering a few adjustments that could make the tool and webpage more accessible and user friendly. A second wave of self-assessment workshops is also planned. One of the best experiences for Breederland is seeing how communities use self-assessment to build smart growth momentum. At the end of one workshop, people volunteered to stay afterward, and they decided to meet twice a year from then on to track their progress with waterfront smart growth, he says. Smart Growth Coastal and Waterfront Elements When we took the self-assessment, were quite One thing the assessment made clear pleased to see our is successes, that says Greg Sundin, the needed a city s director of planning and development.

As a result, we are strengthening this weak information link so we can better assist our riverfront property owners in The self-assessment is designed so it can be repeated. We have hopes, Breederland says, of going back to these communities a few years from now and watching them congratulate themselves when their smart growth scores go up. Mix land uses, including water-dependent uses. Director of Planning and Development, City of Alpena Take advantage of compact community design that enhances, preserves, and provides access to waterfront resources. Provide a range of housing opportunities and choices to meet the needs of both seasonal and permanent residents. Create walkable communities with physical and visual access to and along the waterfront for public use. Foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sensee of place that capitalizes on the waterfront s ts heritage. Preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty, and the critical environmental areas that characterize and support coastal and waterfront communities. Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions, ensuring that public interests in and rights of access to the waterfront and coastal waters are upheld. From Smart Growth for Coastal and Waterfront Communities at Each community later receives an objective score and written summary outlining its smart growth successes, benchmarking its progress, and suggesting potential areas of improvement. Michigan s challenges are shared by many other U.S. waterfront communities. For instance, the departure of big industry may have left brownfields and structural eyesores along For more information on the Waterfront Smart Growth Readiness Assessment Tool, contact Wayne R.
