18 The Study Area Existing Conditions Demographics The Town s population has increased less than 1% from 2000 to 2010 and is expected to continue growing relatively slowly compared to surrounding suburbs o Population within the study area has decreased approximately 7% from 2000 to 2010 The senior population is steadily growing while the schoolaged population is falling The Town s median household income is higher and its unemployment rate is lower than Albany County as a whole
19 The Study Area Existing Conditions Demographics
20 The Study Area Existing Conditions Housing There are approximately 3,700 total housing units in the Town of New Scotland. o Within the study area there are approximately 280 residential units with an additional 90 approved units The median home value in the Town is $224,400, Albany County has lower median values. There is a 7% vacancy rate for residential buildings. The majority of the housing stock is single-family, detached homes built before There is also a mobile home park and a new housing development south of NY 85 which will include two family homes.
21 The Study Area Existing Conditions Housing
22 The Study Area Existing Conditions Mobility/Transportation The two main roadways serving the study area are owned and maintained by New York State. These roads serve as both commuting routes and as main roads and potentially as main streets within the New Scotland Hamlet area. Roadways within the study area serve a mix of land uses, with commercial uses concentrated around the intersection of NY 85/NY 85A and primarily residential uses adjacent to both roadways moving away from this intersection and outside the study area.
23 The Study Area Existing Conditions Mobility/Transportation These roadways serve the current, relatively low intensity, surrounding land uses and through traffic well in terms of motor vehicle level of service and safety. The amount of motor vehicle travel has remained relatively constant over the past decade. Both NY 85 and NY 85A have surplus capacity under traffic current conditions; the current capacity or Level of Service (LOS) for the roadway sections and intersections along NY 85 and NY 85A within the study area are well within acceptable ranges for typical arterial roadways.
24 The Study Area Existing Conditions Mobility/Transportation
25 The Study Area Existing Conditions Mobility/Transportation Residential LOC (level of compatibility) ratings are poor where residential use/traffic conflict occurs along NY 85 on the eastern edge of the study area and within Slingerlands, and along the short segment of NY 85 between CR308 and NY 85A. On NY 85A, LOC ratings are also poor where residential dwellings are clustered near the intersection of NY 155. Walking on the main routes within the study area using narrow shoulders alongside travel lanes where vehicles are moving at or over the speed limits of 45 and 40 mph most likely discourages pedestrian activity. However, land uses along the roadway in this area attract pedestrians.
26 The Study Area Existing Conditions Mobility/Transportation
27 The Study Area Existing Conditions Mobility/Transportation Bicycle level of service analysis and walkability surveys (lack of sidewalks and pedestrian signals at NY 85/NY 85A) give the area poor marks. Despite the low Bicycle Level of Service scores, roadways within the study area are known as popular recreational rider and cycling club routes.
28 The Study Area Existing Conditions Mobility/Transportation The ability to add roadway capacity and/or to provide future standard bicycle and pedestrian accommodations in some areas along main routes (NY 85 and NY85A) is somewhat constrained due to limited right-of-way width, as well as the proximity of adjacent structures and the location of utilities. The Albany County Rail Trail presents a future opportunity for accommodating pedestrian and bicycle travel (both commuting and recreational) across a section of the study area.
29 The Study Area Existing Conditions Mobility/Transportation
30 The Study Area Existing Conditions Mobility/Transportation Transit service is seen as an asset to the study area providing an alternative to driving/enhanced mobility for those without access to a car. However due to the poor pedestrian and bicycling environment, limited frequency and timing of service as well as current lack of bus stop amenities, taking transit may not be an attractive option for some potential riders, with ridership decreases in recent years.

32 The Study Area Existing Conditions Historic & Cultural Resources The area now known as the Town of New Scotland was settled in the early 17th century but wouldn t be established until April 25, The Town s earliest economy was based on agriculture. New Scotland was the largest provider of hops to breweries in the City of Albany. The Town s most popular farm product was the Bender Melon produced on the Charles Bender Farm. The single greatest impact on the town was the establishment of the railroad, which increased markets for farmers and other merchants.
33 The Study Area Existing Conditions Historic & Cultural Resources
34 The Study Area Existing Conditions Land Use & Recent Development Three (3) major residential subdivisions have been approved in the last few years within the Study Area. The Study Area is predominantly zoned [COM] Commercial. The Study Area is largely a mix of vacant, residential and commercial land speckled with community service-type uses.

37 The Study Area Existing Conditions
38 The Study Area Existing Conditions Sewer & Water Infrastructure & Community Facilities Sewer capacity is limited According to the Town engineer, current information on the hydrogeology in the area indicates that there does not seem to be much potential for large scale water supply. There are physical, fiscal and administrative constraints to providing additional public water and sewer infrastructure in and adjacent to the study area under current arrangements.
39 The Study Area Existing Conditions Sewer & Water Infrastructure & Community Facilities
40 The Study Area Existing Conditions Environmental Features The Study Area straddles two watershed areas: the Vly Creek- Normanskill and the Vloman Kill. Sections of the Vloman Kill and Phillipin Kill waterways are found in the vicinity of Youmans Road and south of NY 85; along these streams steep slopes can be found. Soils within the study area range from well drained to very poorly drained. Some of the larger, currently vacant parcels have soils classified as somewhat poorly drained.

57 Outcomes of Previous Studies Town of New Scotland Comprehensive Land Use Plan Residents Planning Advisory Committee (RPAC) Route 85/85A Corridor Development Recommendations to the Town Board Traffic Impact Study, Kensington Woods Commercial Zone Advisory Committee (CZAC) 2008
58 Outcomes of Previous Studies Overlapping Themes A desire to maintain the hamlet character and encourage mixed-use development Commercial development, while desired, should fit in with the hamlet in terms of scale, and should serve the local population not be a regional draw Note: Language in the Comprehensive Plan is not crystal clear in terms of the type of commercial development appropriate here
59 Outcomes of Previous Studies Overlapping Themes Residential development some inconsistency: comprehensive plan tends to support the idea of new residential development in the hamlet RPAC report indicates that certain types of residential (condos/townhomes and/or rental units) less desired There are no pedestrian accommodations in the hamlet and conditions are dangerous for pedestrians Traffic volumes, while not ideal, are not viewed as problematic and there is no immediate need for roadway improvements
60 Outcomes of Previous Studies Visual Preference Survey (part of RPAC process) Conducted by Community Planning and Environmental Associates Targeted toward aesthetic preferences for the Commercially Zoned area images were limited to building types and landscapes that were or could be in that area (did not look at residential subdivisions and single-family homes) Participants rated each image on a scale of -5 to +5
61 Outcomes of Previous Studies Visual Preference Survey (part of RPAC process) In general residents: Preferred the typical architecture and landscaping that characterize a small town or hamlet Had strong negative feelings about non-descript and corporate-style architecture, areas with little green space and landscaping, multi-lane roads, and large parking lots in front of buildings

68 Food for Thought What is a hamlet? Not simply referring to the town s existing Residential Hamlet (RH) or Commercial Hamlet (CH) Zoning Districts In NYS, Hamlets are unincorporated settlements within towns. Hamlets are usually not legal entities and have no local government or official boundaries A hamlet could be described as the rural or suburban equivalent of a neighborhood in a city or village. (Wikipedia) A small village. (Dictionary.com)
69 Food for Thought What is a hamlet? Hamlets have distinct identities, are identifiable in the landscape, and often possess a defined public space. In addition to residential sections, a hamlet has a compact nucleus that draws residents. (Anton Nelessen)
