Lake Chelan Community Open Space Vision THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND
Open Space Vision 2 October 2016
Meeting Summary
1. Welcome and Introductions
City of Chelan Mayor Mike Cooney welcomed a full room of participants. He mentioned that the Lake Chelan Community Open Space Vision has received funding from the State, Icicle Fund, and City of Chelan. Mayor Cooney noted that he wanted to “get on top of open space before it is gone.” He also discussed the importance of a developing a plan that will be implemented and that will get something done.
2. Overview of Community Open Space Vision Process
Amy Morris and Mitchel Hannon from The Trust for Public Land provided an overview of the Community Open Space Vision Process (see attached meeting slides for more detail). The objectives of the process are to: (1) Determine community priorities for voluntary conservation and recreation planning; (2) Help protect unique local natural and recreational resources; and (3) Build community support for protecting local recreational resources and open space.
The Open Space Vision will combine community input with best available data. The process relies on voluntary, market‐based tools to implement; it is not regulatory. The Open Space Vision involves gathering and analyzing community input (interviews, speak outs, community survey, community meetings), collecting data and developing GIS models, weighting criteria and goals based on local input, mapping community priorities, and developing an action plan. The GIS team translates regional community values into objective metrics.
The Trust for Public Land and other partners are asking community members (stakeholders) to participate in three more meetings over the next year. They are also recruiting a local “technical advisory team” (TAT) to assist with mapping (reviewing data and preliminary results).
3. Review of Preliminary Outreach Results
Amy then reviewed the preliminary results of the community survey and speak outs (interactive tabling and poster activities at community events). There were 527 survey responses and 409 participants in the speak outs for a total of 936 responses. This is a great level of participation from a relatively small community. Here are some key findings (see more in attached meeting slides): Demographics (survey only): 75% of responses from residents (primary or second home), 25% from visitors; 64% women; 93% white, non‐Hispanic; 77% have no children under 18 in household
Community is very active! In the lake: 93% swimming, 65% boating. In addition, 83% walk/hike for recreation and 74% for fitness.
Uncertainty about trail locations: 40% don’t use trails more because they are unsure where they are Major concern about lake access: 57% think public access to the lake is not adequate; only 22% think it is adequate

6. Goal and Criteria Workshop
Amy gave participants instructions for the goal and criteria workshop. There were four “stations” for discussion of the four Open Space Vision goals. Each goal had a facilitator: David Morgan (Water Quality), Amy Morris (Agriculture), Guy Evans (Recreation), Mitchel Hannon (Wildlife). Participants were asked to go to two of the four stations. They spent 10 minutes at each. Facilitators asked participants to brainstorm ideas for criteria that could help define each goal and any data sources associated with the criteria. At the end of the meeting, attendees were asked to vote for their top 3 priority criteria under each goal. Pink = top priority. Orange = 2nd priority. Green = 3rd priority. The results of this exercise are included in the attachments.
7. Guiding Principles and Vision Exercise
Amy reviewed the purpose of this exercise and introduced some examples of Vision Statements and Guiding Principles for conservation plans (see attaching meeting slides). Guiding principles are beliefs and philosophy intended to guide us toward our mission and vision. The principles should reflect why and how we create the Community Open Space Vision. They should be simple, cohesive, and consensus‐based. A vision statement is an aspirational statement about what we want to see at the end of this process—once the Community Open Space Vision is implemented. It should be a catalyst that communications purpose and values.
Participants were asked to focus on filling out a worksheet related to either guiding principles or developing a vision statement. They spent 5‐10 minutes independently filling out their chosen worksheet. Then they discussed what they had written in pairs for an additional 3‐5 minutes. Before turning in their worksheet, participants were asked to put a star by 1‐2 elements of their guiding principles or vision statement that they believe are most important. Draft vision statements and guiding principles based on meeting input are attached. Communications volunteers (Guy, Barry, Marilyn, and Connie) will help revise these drafts before the next community meeting.
8. Closing
Amy thanked the group very much for their engagement and enthusiasm. She also reviewed the next steps below.
Next Steps We need recommendations and volunteers for technical advisory team (TAT) as soon as possible. Please contact Amy ([email protected]) or Mitchel ([email protected]). Current volunteers for the TAT are: Karen Sargeant, Tim Hollingsworth, Ken Dull, Coron Polley, and Paul Willard.
Amy/TPL will work with volunteers to revise vision statement and guiding principles options Amy/TPL to continue local interviews Mitch/TPL to begin collecting data for maps (with TAT help) TPL to develop draft goal maps Next community meeting will be in late January 2017. Exact date/time/location will be announced soon.

Open Space Vision Analysis and Mapping
Analysis and Mapping Approach
Develop information that can be acted on: rank areas/parcels by how well they meet vision goals
• Goal: Overall community value related to open space– For example: Protect traditional agricultural lands
• Criteria: Location-specific characteristic that is measurable and mappable– For example: Irrigated parcels between 0.5 and 20 acres in
size
Steep Stream Banks
Erodible Soils
Steep Slopes
Canopy Cover
Native Vegetation
Floodplains and BuffersRiparian Vegetation Wetlands
Example Goal and Criteria
Role of the Technical Advisory Team (TAT)
Provide expert review and advice regarding design, data input, rationale, outcomes, and mapping.
Responsibilities:• Participate in TAT meetings (by phone/computer)• Verify the completeness and appropriateness of
analysis methodology• Recommend best available data sources• Help ensure that defensible science is used for all
models and assumptions• Review input data and model results for accuracy and
currency• Determine relative importance of each criteria
• 527 community responses + 409 speak out responses = 936 total responses
• 75% of responses from residents (primary or second home), 25% from visitors
• 64% women
• 93% white, non-Hispanic
• 77% have no children under 18 in household
Outreach Results

Presentation of Community Ideas (rapid fire)
• Unmarked Public ROW leading to the lake has been an issue for years. Not the first time.
• It’s a big deal that the Chelan County Commissioners decided to survey a few of the Public Access points to the lake in the Manson area. South Harris Street, Quetilquasoon Road, Hyacinth Road and others have been surveyed and marked.
• There are probably nine public access points in the Manson area.• Chelan County is not ready to use the surveyed and marked access points for
public recreation until safety and maintenance issues are resolved.• Interested parties in the Manson area include the County Commissioners, the
County Public Works, the Manson Parks and Parks Board, The Manson Community Council, the public and the private land owners.
• The City of Chelan draft version of Appendix C: City of Chelan Shoreline Public Access Plan, dated July 2016, identifies three access points and the plans to develop two of them. The sites with plans are the end of Dietrich Road and Water Street/Green Dock. The other site is the end of Park Street.
• In summary, there are potential public access points to Lake Chelan for recreation, there a number of interested parties with varied concerns, and there is a lack of money to develop the sites. We could use some help.

Goal and Criteria Workshop
10/28/2016
• Beliefs and philosophy
• Guide you toward mission and vision
• Why and how we create the Community Open Space Plan
• Cohesive set of beliefs – around which there is consensus
• Keep it simple
Guiding Principles
• Local Values. Efforts to enhance conservation in our communities must be based on our local values.
• Agriculture and Timber. Local residents value our agricultural and forestry heritage. We encourage conservation efforts aimed at protecting agricultural and timber industries.
• Multiple Benefits, Multiple Uses. Conserved lands may serve multiple purposes. For example, protected agricultural and timber harvesting areas can provide economic benefits, open space, and habitat.
• Economic Opportunity. Surrounding beauty, recreational opportunities and open spaces all play a vital role in making the Greater Sandpoint area a desirable place to live and work—attracting and retaining job creators far beyond the tourist or extraction economy.
• Conservation is Voluntary. Greenprint partners only support voluntary, incentive-based conservation efforts.
• We Respect Private Property Rights.
Guiding Principles Example (Sandpoint)
10/28/2016
• Aspirational statement about what we want to see at the end of this process (when priority areas are protected and connected)
• A catalyst that communicates purpose and values
Oxfam: A just world without poverty
Habitat for Humanity: A world where everyone has a decent place to live.
The Nature Conservancy: Our vision is to leave a sustainable world for future generations.
Vision Statement
• Choose to focus on either guiding principles OR developing a vision statement
• Fill out worksheet
• Discuss in pairs
• Put a star by two elements you think are most important
• You can fill out the other worksheet after the meeting if you’d like
Principles and Vision Exercise
10/28/2016
1. Designate technical advisory team (TAT)
2. Finish developing vision statement and guiding principles (need volunteers)
3. Finish interviews (TPL)
4. Begin collecting data for maps (GIS team with TAT help)
5. Develop draft goal maps (TPL)
6. Next meeting: January 2017
