As a result\, many communities lack access to healthy and affordable food. One community solution is healthy food retailing through existing outlets. Healthy food retailing is an economic development strategy that increases sales of healthy foods through distributing\, stocking and marketing healthy items in affected communities. This session will cover the basic new markets model framework\, best practices\, local policy and planning priorities for healthy food retailing. We will share experiences from healthy retail projects and examples of assessment-based policy recommendations in Ohio and Washington. Click here to register.

Increasing rents are already pricing out lower-income residents\, and those pressures are expected to accelerate with the higher gas prices\, highway congestion and that make living in transit communities so attractive. The plan’s goal is to preserve or replace all of the housing serving households with incomes up to 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) and one-half of the housing serving households at 80 percent of AMI. Market and financial analysis is helping to guide the plan so that the density provisions for new units will support financial feasibility\, increasing the likelihood that development will occur. The implementation plan incorporates a wide variety of affordable housing tools.

The multifaceted program includes cash incentives\, a BikeShare program and a fleet of over 50 motor coach and intra-campus shuttles. Last year the gRide program eliminated over 20 million vehicle miles traveled on San Francisco Bay Area's roadways and over 14 million pounds of CO2 from the atmosphere. In addition to reducing VMT and GHG emissions\, the program has significantly reduced employees' time\, money and stress spent on commuting. This session will inform the APA community of how the program has progressed from its initiation with the Master Plan approval in 2006 to today's success in reducing the employee drive-alone rate.

Led by the Passaic County Planning Department in cooperation with the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Essex & Passaic Counties\, the WMA-4 AmeriCorps Watershed Ambassadors\, the Boroughs of North Haledon\, Haledon and Prospect Park\, the City of Paterson\, and the Rutgers Water Resources Program\, the Molly Ann Brook Rain Barrel & Rain Garden initiative implements low impact development and sustainable stormwater management tools to improve water quality. The project was funded by a 2008 Section 319(h) grant from the NJ DEP to improve the impaired water quality of the Molly Ann Brook\, a subwatershed of the Passaic River Basin. This grant provided funding to pursue two best management practices recommended in the Molly Ann Brook Watershed Management Plan\, the targeted installation of rain barrels and rain gardens. The County has purchased 650 rain barrels and\, to date\, has distributed 605 of these rain barrels free of charge to residents and public entities within the subwatershed. In addition\, three rain gardens have been installed on public lands\, and five more will be installed in the spring of 2012. The project helps alleviate a critical environmental justice issue by distributing free rain barrels\, which retail for $150 each\, to residents in the low-moderate income municipalities of Haledon\, Prospect Park\, and Paterson\, New Jersey; 56% of the rain barrels were distributed in these municipalities. Further\, this project implementation can serve as an example for other communities throughout the state. It is an easily replicable\, low-cost planning solution for stormwater management\, with the long-term impact of changing how residents approach environmental conservation. Click here to register.

Laurel - New Findings about the Effects of Affordable Housing DESCRIPTION:Forty years ago\, a New Jersey Superior Court handed down an historic decision that changed the discourse about affordable housing in New Jersey. On May 1\, 1972\, the court released its decision in Southern Burlington County NAACP v. Township of Mount Laurel\, finding that the town’s zoning ordinance\, which effectively deprived the poor of adequate housing and discriminated against them\, was constitutionally invalid. The state Supreme Court agreed (though on different grounds) in 1975 and created\, under a case known as Mt. Laurel I\, the “Mt. Laurel doctrine.” The doctrine requires every municipality's land use regulations\, as well as those of state agencies with land use responsibilities\, to affirmatively provide a "realistic opportunity" for construction of their fair share of the regional need for housing affordable to low and moderate income households. Litigation followed in Mt. Laurel II to address remedies\, and\, at the urging of the court\, legislation was passed to hammer out the details and implement what the court defined as the state constitutional obligation. The doctrine and the grounds on which it is based – that zoning that excludes low and moderate housing opportunities is a form of economic discrimination prohibited by the state constitution – are still controversial today. At the heart of the discussion is the speculation that affordable housing will increase crime\, decrease property values\, and diminish neighborhoods. Are these concerns valid? Today’s discussion will introduce new research\, based on the experience of Ethel R. Lawrence Homes\, a 140-unit\, 100% affordable family rental project developed in Mount Laurel\, NJ\, that demonstrates that many of the fears of the ill-effects of affordable housing are unfounded. The format for this event will be presentation and discussion. Four researchers will each give a 15-20 minute overview of this new research. The second panel will consist of stakeholders asking the researchers questions about what the literature says about various policy initiatives. The goal of this format is to have the Stakeholder panel shape the discussion about how the research should and will affect decisions that New Jersey must make as it considers housing policy going forward.

However\, many communities are relatively unfamiliar with this rapidly-developing technology\, and are concerned that these kinds of signs will create aesthetic\, safety and enforcement problems for their cities and fellow citizens. Nearly all stakeholders struggling with digital electronic signs and their regulation often have the same questions: What really are these digital electronic signs and how do they work? Is there any way for the community-at-large to actually benefit from these kinds of signs? How do we allow them without “looking like Las Vegas\,” or negatively impacting community safety? How do we regulate them in ways that are understandable and enforceable\, without having to hire additional staff? Hosted by James Carpentier\, AICP and presented by Wendy Moeller\, AICP\, and Mike Freeborg\, Director of Government Relations for YESCO\, the webinar “Finding Common Ground” answers these questions and others\, while providing practical\, solution-focused guidance that can set the foundation for regulations that can leverage this technology while protecting community aesthetic values and safety concerns. This webinar is being offered on Thursday\, March 15 from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. EST. One (1) AICP Certification Maintenance credit is Pending Approval. Please contact james.carpentier@signs.org to register for this complimentary educational event.

We are assuming that your downtown program already has a good relationship with the local media\, and publishes your own paper newsletter or e-newsletter\, but what other components can you add to your public relations arsenal to get broader name recognition for your program and for the quality merchants on your street? Ultimately your Downtown Management program needs to become an opinion leader in town by tying national (and even international) events to the impact they make on your downtown\, so we will discuss how to be more “quotable.” The afternoon will focus on the changing nature of volunteerism\, and now your local program can respond to volunteers interested in only short term or bite sized assignments. We will also discuss how the role of the Team chairperson must change given the casual nature of many volunteer assignments. Finally we will talk about how to engage some different groups of volunteers and how to make volunteer assignments interesting to them by customizing assignments to their interests or needs: Baby Boomers\, Hispanics\, youth organizations\, families\, churches and other organizations. Please join us in Red Bank on February 15. 10:00 Welcome and introductions 10:15 The many ways to present your program to the public –balancing new and traditional media to reach the maximum possible. 11:15 Brief group exercise 11:30 50 ways to use the web to promote your program—a wide variety of strategies\, software and apps to consider. 11:50 Building a yearlong promotional calendar 12:10 Becoming an opinion leader: using national and international events to promote your program 12:30 Lunch on your own in downtown Red Bank 2:00 Steering the ship: working with volunteers to own more of the work\, using work plans\, job descriptions and breaking assignments into bite sized pieces. 2:30 Towards a new role for committee chairs—the monthly committee meeting is fading away as volunteers just want to do their assignment and go. Some ideas for the chair to keep committee volunteers on target when you see them only occasionally 2:50 Wholesale recruitment: cultivating groups and families especially Baby Boomers\, Hispanics\, youth organizations\, families and African American churches and other organizations—creating projects that appeal to these groups. 3:30 Adjourn   About your speakerDonna Ann Harris is the principal of Heritage Consulting Inc.\, a Philadelphia-based consulting firm that works nationwide in three practice areas: downtown and commercial district revitalization\, historic preservation and nonprofit organizational development.

A 2010 nationwide survey of communities by the National Association of Area Agencies - the first survey conducted in 2005 - reveals only limited progress in advancing the goal to create a "livable community" for all ages - many are struggling just to maintain status quo. One of the few exceptions is Philadelphia which has the highest proportion of older persons (age 60+) of any ten largest cities in the nation. Philadelphia Corporation for Aging(PCA) has developed an agenda based on EPA's Aging Initiative model which integrates active aging and smart growth. Age-Friendly Philadelphia is a research\, planning\, and policy agenda to improve the overall quality of life for the City's seniors. An award-winning program\, the premise is that all ages will benefit from improvements to the physical and social environment that promote an age-friendly city. PCA is the catalyst for generating non-traditional partnerships around the common purpose of four principles for active aging: healthy eating\, social capital\, mobility\, and flexible and accessible housing. This innovative approach to an age-friendly city with building strong alliances as a centerpiece is an inspiring model for other communities.

Retiring baby boomers are making new demands – in terms of the built environment\, services and housing alternatives. Children and youth require investment to ensure healthy growth and development and productive economic futures. Caregivers\, especially the sandwich generation caught in the middle\, need more support to avoid burnout. Fiscal stress underscores the importance of finding new ways to meet these changing needs. Fortunately\, responding to these needs can contribute to the creation of dynamic communities that provide supportive and healthy environments for all stages of the lifecycle. This webinar will offer a fresh perspective on: Economics of Families – Prevailing wisdom suggests families with young children are a cost to communities whereas retiring baby boomers are “grey gold.” The reality is both groups represent important costs and benefits. Understanding these economic realities will help communities plan for all ages.  Service Integration – Traditionally we have provided services in age segregated silos. The opportunity to integrate service delivery can improve service effectiveness and efficiency.  Physical Design – To promote more independence among children and elders we need to design environments which provide housing and transportation alternatives and enable independence thereby reducing the need for services and promoting healthy lifestyles and development. This webinar will provide the latest research and provide examples of how communities are addressing these challenges. Click here to register.

While long-distance movement of people and goods has its own challenges that high speed rail\, alternative fuels and modal shifts must address\, this presentation looks at movements within a community. What will 2030 look like if we shift from a local transportation system that is overwhelmingly dominated by the private vehicle\, to a scenario dominated by community mobility? The webcast participant will get a glimpse of twenty years into the future for what can be done to see how to provide mobility in our communities. Five modes of local transportation are presented: walking\, bicycling\, sharing public vehicles\, sharing private vehicles\, and driving.

Landis to fulfill his dream of creating the "ideal community."  A native of Philadelphia\, Landis imagined a city of factories\, stores\, schools\, churches\, and recreation hall surrounded by miles of farms\, orchards and vineyards. His dream took shape with the creation of Landis Avenue\, in August of 1861. The extra-wide\, tree lined street was reminiscent of the Champs-Elysee in Paris.” (www.mainstreetvineland.org) As shopping habits and patterns changed over the years\, business owners along Landis Avenue faced declining revenues and community disinvestment. Landis Avenue suffered the same fate of many traditional main streets; fortunately\, however\, the City chose to revitalize the once faltering Landis Avenue. Vineland was designated as a Main Street Community in 2005 and has been hyper-focused on improving their traditional retail corridor ever since. Main Street Vineland focuses on four areas: organization\, promotion\, economic restructuring\, and design. Todd Noon\, Executive Director of the Vineland Downtown Improvement District - Main Street\, and Sandy Forosisky\, the Director of Redevelopment for the City of Vineland\, will narrate a two hour walking tour of Vineland’s Landis Avenue Main Street Area\, including stops at the new Landis Market\, Landis Theater\, and ending at Mori’s Restaurant.

Impacts of Credit on Accessing Affordable Housing DESCRIPTION:The Affordable Housing Professionals of New Jersey (AHPNJ) would like to invite you to our Southern Regional Networking Event entitled "What’s the Score? Impacts of Credit on Accessing Affordable Housing." This panel discussion will examine the post-recession lending and housing markets\, and their relation to the importance of one’s credit score. According to a recent Zillow report\, which highlights the difficulties in the housing market in the wake of the Great Recession\, homeownership is potentially out of reach for nearly a third of Americans. This is especially true for those seeking affordable housing. While lenders have implemented tighter credit restrictions as a response to the foreclosure crisis\, it has placed a cap on housing demand and is impeding a greater housing recovery. AHPNJ has invited credit counselors\, mortgage brokers\, and administrative agents to provide dynamic perspectives on the importance of one’s credit score in obtaining access to affordable homeownership and rental opportunities within the State. Please join us on Tuesday\, October 18th at 9:30 AM at Ponzio’s Diner in Cherry Hill. A Buffet Breakfast will be served but seating is limited. Reserve your spot today!

Located along the heavily traveled White Hose Pike (Route 30) at Evesham Road\, the center was 70% vacant. Understanding the need for a catalyst\, the Borough initiated a redevelopment process and established a cooperative working relationship with the property owner as well as neighboring Magnolia Borough\, in which a portion of the site is located. A new zoning scheme was crafted for the +/-50 acre site\, allowing for a mix of uses\, including retail\, office\, and market and affordable housing\, while also fostering a “town center” atmosphere with public spaces and streetscape and building design. A portion of the original shopping center was demolished in order to create a more open site design\, new buildings were constructed\, and the remaining portion of the center was completely renovated. The result is the re-branded Coopertowne Center\, which has followed the zoning scheme that had been previously implemented. As plans for the revitalization and redevelopment of the Lion’s Head Plaza were advancing\, the Borough recognized that the project could be a catalyst for further land use changes in the area. The resulting plan for the Kennedy Boulevard Area\, adopted in 2009\, set the foundation for the revitalization of the area that when implemented\, will strengthen the connections between Coopertowne Center and the surrounding community and support a dynamic business environment. The walking tour will explore the Coopertowne Center site as well as the Kennedy Boulevard Area (anchored by Borough Hall) to discuss the progress that has been made\, the work that is currently underway\, and where additional opportunities may be realized in the future. This event will be lead by Mayor Gary Passanante of Somerdale Borough and John Orrico\, the President of National Realty & Development Corp (redeveloper and owner of Coopertowne Center). The Borough’s redevelopment planner will also be on hand to add to the discussion. The Borough’s long term vision\, redevelopment planning process\, the relationship and compromises between the Borough and the redeveloper\, the inter-municipal cooperation between Somerdale and Magnolia\, the overall successes\, the setbacks brought by the economic recession\, as well as remaining challenges will be discussed.

The H+T Index documents the transportation costs associated with a home’s location for 337 U.S. metropolitan areas by pricing the tradeoffs between housing and transportation costs that buyers and renters make when choosing where to live. Compact\, walkable\, mixed-use communities with convenient access to public transit and employment centers sometimes appear expensive because of higher housing costs -- but the H+T Index shows that these places can often make for more affordable living than lower-density exurban communities because households can own fewer cars and still maintain a high quality of life. In addition to providing household cost data at the Census block group level\, the H+T Index also provides household vehicle miles traveled estimates\, access to transit\, proximity to jobs\, and household greenhouse gas emissions from driving. Learn how the Index works with a detailed explanation and a live demo\, hear how some communities are using the Index for planning purposes\, and learn about upcoming updates to the H+T Index database that will expand the ways it can be used. This webinar is sponsored by the Technology Division.

Three finance exercises involving realistic real estate developments will then be conducted. The first will demonstrate a simple project involving equity and debt but that does not involve public participation. The second will be a project that requires a public-private partnership and the consequent effects on the finances of both parties. The third will get a little more complicated as an urban redevelopment project involving not only a public-private partnership but also tax credits and tax increment financing\, demonstrating the impacts on the financial pro forma and the economic value of the investment to the developer and\, separately\, to the public entity.

Despite these assets\, the state’s economy – as measured either by gross domestic product or employment -- has been waning\, and showing no signs of gaining positive momentum. Many corporations are saying that they have no plans for expanding their presence in New Jersey; some are even considering relocation outside the state. The conference will investigate how better land use planning\, investment in our infrastructure\, and regulatory reform can shape a new model for New Jersey that will attract and retain business and our competitiveness in the world markets. The centerpiece of the conference will be a roll-out of the results of PlanSmart NJ’s new focus group research that queries business leaders throughout the state on what is driving their expansion and relocation decisions and how land use can play a key role in reinvigorating New Jersey’s economy.

This workshop will discuss the constitutional statues that authorize the granting of short and long-term tax exemptions and the procedural process for granting tax abatements for residential and commercial projects including establishing the PILOT payment. In addition\, the workshop will provide an opportunity to participate in the discussion on the pros and cons\, and the costs and benefits\, of tax abatements from different perspectives. HMFA and DEP tax abatement programs will also be discussed. Providing long-term tax exemption is an important municipal incentive to attract development but the key question is when municipalities’ should decide to use it. We will discuss the factors to consider when deciding whether or not to use tax abatements. The session will also discuss specific provisions in the municipal ordinances\, valuable terms in financial agreements\, and tactical strategies to avoid the potential public nightmare associated with granting tax abatements. An exercise will also be conducted to assess the potential economic and fiscal benefits of two projects.

This webcast will explore new ideas for planning\, designing and implementing bicycle facilities that planners can use right now in their communities.  Attendees will discover the qualities that define bicycle-friendly communities in Europe\, Canada and the United States.  Speakers will show examples of successful bike planning efforts and built bicycle facilities while discussing in detail the appropriateness of various solutions for a range of applications and plans.  The session will show how planning for bikes can be an integral part of a multi-modal transportation system.  Attendees will hear about two case studies\, one for a plan and implementation of a multi-use bike path in a downtown urban setting and another about how Indianapolis has created a city-wide bike network and achieved bronze level Bike-friendly Community recognition.  Attendees will learn how these communities worked with local stakeholders and planners to bring new ideas to successful implementation and take away new approaches that they can immediately use in their communities. This webcast is sponsored by the Indiana Chapter.

This forum contains two sections - a presentation and a panel discussion - on the tools and strategies that are most promising to respond to the problem of communities being perhaps diverse but still not integrated. It has been documented through numerous national studies that even within diverse jurisdictions housing\, schools and civic realms remain largely separated by race\, ethnicity and/or socioeconomics. This reality is both inequitable and costly (and no longer just a burden on some groups - it harms us all). OPEN has worked for over 40 years developing practical local solutions and we'd like to share our approach to tackling this issue\, describe a theoretical model and present case studies of integrated successes. We especially want feedback from you on how to expand the toolkit and strategies. Takes place in Room 113.

In New Urban Development\, Mr. Gruen makes the connection between the artificial restrictions on housing supply\, imposed by local zoning ordinances since the 1970s\, and the resultant escalation of housing prices that eventually led to the mortgage crisis and financial meltdown of 2007. In New Urban Development\, he reviews what history and the new economic realities suggest about the changes needed to land use law and regulation at the federal\, state\, and most importantly\, local level\, and concludes with a comprehensive proposal of thirteen discrete new policies for the "New Normal." These recommendations include planning and zoning for development above that likely to be required by demand growth\, mandating minimum densities in urban areas\, changes to affordable housing policy to take the burden of low- and moderate-income housing off of the backs of market-rate housing developers\, and the creation of a private alternative to public urban redevelopment. ULI-NNJ invites you to think outside the box— the policy recommendations contained in New Urban Redevelopment may seem radical at first\, but\, in the words of President Obama's former chief of staff\, "A crisis is too good an opportunity to miss." Mr. Gruen's presentation will be followed by a response panel of New Jersey's top land use legal practitioners and planners. All attendees will receive a copy of New Urban Development.

The housing market at this time\, however unfortunate\, is full of market-rate units that aren't worth what they used to be worth. Some towns in New Jersey have established Market-to-Affordable programs that allow the municipality to purchase underpriced units\, buy down the price even further\, and turn them into affordable housing rental or for sale units. This panel discussion will talk with a couple of the administrators of these programs about how they work\, and one tax assessor who must re-evaluate the price of the units for tax purposes.

Many critics believe that\, while the New Urbanism contains many attractive ideas\, it has not been able to effectively deal with a wide range of issues associated with inner-city communities and metropolitan growth that simply did not exist in the early twentieth century when it’s planning and design predecessors were being implemented. This workshop will address these concerns as well as carefully look into the principles of New Urbanism and its application in urban settings while taking a retrospective approach to developing a clearer understanding of urban settlement patterns in communities of color\, identifying typologies of traditional neighborhood design\, and explore place-determinants to help further develop a knowledge-base of meaningful precedents. This in turn\, can be applied to the development of future self-sustaining and livable communities. The intent of this workshop will be to convey a thoughtful and selective awareness of New Urbanism principles and traditions with the effort to assist the contemporary community planner in deriving relevant strategies for the desired New Urbanism as it should more effectively respond to the social\, economic and physical needs of inner-city communities.     LOCATION:33 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ, 08901, United States URL:http://njplanning.org/event/new-urbanism-and-communities-of-color-cm-2-0/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110331T173000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110331T200000 DTSTAMP:20120518T210602 CREATED:20110822T000837 LAST-MODIFIED:20110822T000837 UID:2749-1301592600-1301601600@http://njplanning.org SUMMARY:2011 Complete Streets Workshop (Sussex, Warren, Morris Counties) (CM | 2.5) DESCRIPTION:A Complete Streets Workshop\, focused on providing municipal and county officials with information on planning for Complete Streets in both suburban and rural areas.

Over the next 20 years (2030) the older adult population will double to 71 million and\, by 2050\, the population of our seniors will be equal to that of our youth (109\,090\,000 vs 109\,147\,000).  The sheer number of people growing older will create more demand for walkable neighborhoods and mixed used developments that place businesses and services used by an older population in close proximity to residential neighborhoods.  Communities that have also incorporated universal design standards into their overall planning and building codes will also be in a better position to enable their residents to “age in place” in naturally occurring retirement communities – thereby reducing the demand for high-cost institutional care.  The impact and opportunities of an aging population goes beyond traditional city planning and extends into public policy and strategic planning.  An increasingly frail population can impact the usage of traditional government services such as 9-1-1 emergency services\, can increase local prison costs and can increase the Medicaid match that local governments are responsible.  Although there are significant challenges that communities face with an increasingly older population base\, there are tremendous opportunities a retirement population brings including a strong core of volunteers\, a population that discretionary income and a population with a desire to contribute.

Bicycle and pedestrian facilities provide direct benefits to residents and employees\, connecting people to local destinations and increasing access to recreational opportunities. These facilities also provide indirect benefits\, such as strengthening sense of community\, increasing social interaction\, improving public health\, improving safety\, reducing congestion and pollution\, and promoting social equity. Creating a bikeable and walkable environment doesn’t happen overnight. It takes vision\, timing\, collaboration\, determination\, and community support.

Specifically will you help us answer  two questions for the benefit of all planners undertaking public engagement in this new era of information overload. Question #1:  How can you and your community or firm use Internet tools to  reach out to citizens in regards to general planning or a specific planning project. Question #2:  What are the positives and negatives of using this type of community  interaction?

CBO's are often so focused on the funding necessary to support those vulnerable populations they serve that their interaction with planning at the comprehensive level in consultation with local governments is many times set-aside.

It is\, in a sense\, an inventory of all the pressures\, forces and situations and their interactions at the property where our project will be built. The major role of contextual site analysis in design is that of informing us about our site prior to beginning our design concepts so that our early thinking about our building can incorporate meaningful responses to external conditions. Typical site issues addressed in a contextual analysis are site location\, size\, shape\, contours\, drainage patterns\, zoning and set-backs\, utilities\, significant on site features (buildings\, trees\,etc.)\, surrounding traffic\, neighborhood patterns\, views to and from the site and climate. As planners and designers\, we need to know something about these issues in order to design a successful building that not only meets its internal responsibilities (functions) but that also relates well to its external environment. Since our building will exist for several years\, our contextual analysis should attempt to deal with potential future conditions as well as the ones we can observe on the site today. Some of the typical issues in this regard are changing zoning patterns around our site\, shifts in the designation of major and minor streets\, changing cultural patterns in the surrounding neighborhood and the construction of significant projects nearby that impact on our site.

As such it decides on the future growth of our towns\, cities and neighborhoods through analysis and decision making. This course will familiarize participants with the basic elements of planning: principles of planning\, the comprehensive plan\, plan adoption and specific plans. Participants will learn how planning is practiced in the United States\, and explore how to apply the concepts in their communities. In their final assignment\, students will describe the steps to develop a plan for your community. The final assignment is meant to be realistic -- in fact\, we want you to use it to start planning in your community! Many people find themselves doing urban planning without any formal training in the subject. Others want to be effective citizen planners\, but don't know where to start. If this describes you\, this course is for you. Nicolas Ronderos\, who brings a distinct perspective  as a planner\, anthropologist\, and policy and real estate expert\, helps you learn the fundamentals of urban planning. Like running a successful restaurant\, urban planning is more difficult than it most people know. Professional planners who want a refresher in the fundamentals of our craft\, and those taking the AICP examination\, can also benefit.

This immensely challenging field requires familiarity with the capital markets\, knowledge of zoning\, general real estate transactional concepts\, contract and tax law and architecture\, just to name a few trades.

In areas served by public water and sewer\, conservation design techniques can be readily combined with TND principles to create walkable\, mixed-use neighborhoods\, often involving infill projects and incremental growth around the community's outer edges. This program shows how higher density neighborhoods can be designed around the central organizing principle of an open space network and incorporate distinctive features of the natural and cultural landscape\, producing more sustainable results.

The summit will educate engineers\, planners\, and elected officials about Complete Streets\, its benefits and costs\, and how to overcome barriers to implementing a Complete Streets policy. Topics will include an introduction to Complete Streets\, policies and supporting processes\, design and planning\, cost and funding\, and liability.     Michael Ronkin\, an internationally-recognized consultant and speaker on innovative\, practical street design\, will be the keynote speaker. Assemblywoman Grace Spencer (invited) and NJDOT Commissioner James Simpson will give welcoming remarks.    Complete Streets are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users - pedestrians\, bicyclists\, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities. Instituting a complete streets policy ensures that agencies routinely design and maintain the entire right of way to enable safe access for anyone who may use it. Having a Complete Streets policy can benefit a community in many ways\, including making their grant applications for state funding more competitive. A Complete Streets program is also eligible for points toward Sustainable Jersey certification and can help a municipality meet its obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Environmental forensics investigations may involve identifying and apportioning responsibility among multiple parties\, age-dating releases and/or determining exactly how a release occurred with reference to insurance or other contractual issues. Determining the date when problems first began is important because it allows attorneys and courts to determine who is repsonsible for the cleanup\, insurance companies to determine whether or not an environmental claim occurred during their policy periods and government officials to determine who is responsible for recouping expended government funds.

The fundamental principles will be presented in terminology that makes it easy to understand… even if your only background is high school chemistry. You will also learn how to use this information when evaluating environmental conditions at your site or property.

You cannot hope to design and build these structures without a down-and-dirty understanding of these soils. That’s what this hands-on course is all about. Every day\, you will spend equal time moving between lectures in the classroom to soil pits in the field\, evaluating soils using your eyes\, hands\, and nose. You will observe\, record and evaluate the site-specific soil characteristics required to write and support a complete soil log\, as well as evaluate the soil and landscape data to determine design input. Most importantly\, you will develop the necessary tools to determine whether a site is right – legally and practically -- for a septic system or stormwater runoff Best Management Practices (BMPs) facility.

In light of New Jersey's recently adopted statewide Stormwater Management Rules\, engineers\, reviewers\, developers and others will need to acquire both greater knowledge and new skills. This three-day course is designed to address these needs by presenting the most pertinent and up-to-date information on the scientific and regulatory aspects of stormwater management in New Jersey. The course will cover the recently adopted NJDEP Stormwater Management Rules\, including those dealing with groundwater recharge\, TSS and nutrient removal\, and stormwater quantity control. A presentation of the new NJDEP BMP Manual\, Groundwater Recharge Spreadsheet (NJGRS) and other technical aspects of the new rules will also be included. The course will conclude with a workshop problem that applies the information and techniques presented to a sample development site in accordance with the new NJDEP Rules.

The NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulates Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) and requires the professionals who work on them to be trained\, certified/recertified every three (3) years. When a person has notified the NJDEP of a discharge from an UST on or after November 4\, 2009\, that person must retain an LSRP when addressing regulated USTs. LSRPs may work on unregulated USTs (remediation or otherwise)\, but LSRPs are not required to be hired to remediate discharges from unregulated USTs. Certified Subsurface Evaluators may still be retained to remediate discharges from unregulated USTs without the supervision of an LSRP. The certifications for all other categories of UST services (i.e.\, installation\, closure\, tank testing\, and corrosion protection) still require the refresher course. The person responsible for conducting the remediation of a discharge from an unregulated UST who uses a Certified Subsurface Evaluator to remediate that discharge is required to employ an individual working for a business firm certified in the category of UST subsurface evaluation pursuant to the UST rules at N.J.A.C. 7:14B-16.

Planners and resource managers have long sought to better control land development via the regulatory framework. Recent developments in GIS have made the development of policy scenarios relatively easy to document and analyze. Future residential development was simulated using GIS based on conventional and density-based zoning regulations for a set of Wisconsin communities. We then measure landscape fragmentation at complete build-out and compare policies between communities. Of particular interest is the potential for this type of analysis to help assess and illustrate the degree to which a town or county is moving towards the goals expressed in their comprehensive plans.
