LAKESIDE CHAUTAUQUA MASTER PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION Thank you to everyone who participated in creating the Lakeside Chautauqua Master Plan. Every resident, cottage owner, merchant, visitor, guest and employee has a vested interest in honoring the history and crafting the future of Lakeside Chautauqua. Together, we have created a plan that builds on the inherent strengths of the community, the Chautauqua Movement and the history that makes Lakeside special and unique. The Lakeside Chautauqua Master Plan
The Lakeside Master Plan is a high-level visionary document with specific action steps to guide decision-making and ensure that the community continues to thrive. Recognizing that priorities shift over time and that implementation will need to be opportunistic as projects, partners and funding sources are identified, the plan is meant to be a living, flexible document that will inform the investment of community resources for Lakeside Chautauqua over the next 15-20 years. The Master Plan process included Lakeside leadership, the Board of Directors, a Steering Committee and a wide-reaching community engagement process. The project launched in the winter of 2016/2017, with community engagement occurring over the 2017 Chautauqua season. Planning principles and preliminary concepts were developed based on emerging themes from community input, then refined further into the focus areas and recommendations of the Master Plan.
Community Engagement
Lakeside is a place beloved by generations of Lakesiders in Ohio and across the country. The plan process took care to engage a wide audience of Lakesiders, members of the larger Danbury Township and Marblehead community, key stakeholders, board members and leadership. The community engagement process directly reached more than 2,000 Lakesiders through a dedicated project website, small group interviews, email survey outreach and three community workshops. Broad-based communication with tens of thousands of Lakeside stakeholders throughout the Community Engagement process ensured transparency every step of the way. Input and feedback from Lakesiders helped to shape the planning principles, the five Master Plan focus areas, the plan recommendations and the implementation priorities.

OVERVIEW SUPPORTING CATALYTIC PROJECTS RECOMMENDATIONS The supporting recommendations consider Lakeside as a whole, as well as its context in the region. These are recommendations for addressing building maintenance issues; diversifying housing options; augmenting the Historic Preservation & Design Review process; simplifying streets and circulation; upgrading roadway and stormwater infrastructure; enhancing shuttle operations; adding off-site parking; and improving signage/wayfinding, sustainability, parks, open spaces and trails. Address Immediate Building Maintenance Issues
A building audit was conducted by the planning team to provide a detailed analysis of 25 of Lakeside’s most important and well-known buildings. While nine of the buildings are in good-tomoderate condition, 16 were described as either moderate-tofair or fair-to-poor condition. A number of immediate building maintenance issues have been identified by the building audit. In the short-term, tackling these issues will make all of the buildings safe and dry, protecting their ability to serve Lakeside activities and uses. In the longterm, recommendations have also been made to improve ADA accessibility and make upgrades to restrooms and electrical and mechanical systems.
Good-to-Moderate Condition >> Welcome Center >> Train Station >> Wesley Lodge >> Fountain Inn >> Orchestra Hall >> Bradley Temple >> Green Gables >> Hoover Auditorium
Diversify Housing Options
Lakeside is in need of additional and updated group housing. Groups include scout troops, youth groups, conference attendees and multi-generational family groups. Housing options should be flexible to adapt to the needs of various group types. The Master Plan recommends Lakeside conduct a housing study to determine the type, amount and location of housing in Lakeside. Potential housing types include: >> Staff or Flexible Housing south of Chautauqua Park >> Flexible Housing at the Wellness & Recreation Center >> Youth Group Housing in Wo-Ho-Mis >> New Cabins at the Cultural Arts Campus >> Artists-in-Residence at the current Welcome Center or Director’s House >> Downtown Flexible Housing, Apartments or Condos

FLEXIBLE GROUP HOUSING
Augment Historic Preservation & Design Review
Lakeside’s historic and unique architecture is one of its defining features. In addition to maintaining existing Lakeside structures, additional efforts should address: >> The desire to create districts within Lakeside to further define architectural character and appropriateness >> The need to manage oversight of contractors >> The need to ensure that improvements and new structures are compliant with agreements and stipulations for approval >> The need to revisit on-site stormwater requirements and specifications
SUPPORTING RECOMMENDATIONS CATALYTIC PROJECTS OVERVIEW Simplify Streets and Circulation
Several streets are realigned in the Master Plan. These improvements transform the entry experience for Lakeside guests, improve access to downtown, streamline delivery and minimize pedestrian/vehicle conflicts. 11. Maple Avenue will become a distinct and graceful entrance
to Lakeside that orients visitors to the specialness of the place by traveling though the new park and Cultural Arts Campus.
22. The section of Maple Avenue between Second and Third
Streets will become one-way.
33. Downtown circulation will no longer allow standard vehicles
to drive up to the Pavilion (pedestrian, bike, golf cart and emergency access will remain).
44. Downtown and Hotel Lakeside traffic will circulate from
Maple Avenue and turn left onto a new street that runs along the south edge of Hotel Lakeside.
NEW STREETS & CIRCULATION PLAN
55. The alley behind the Second Street businesses will remain
available for access by delivery vehicles.
66. Sections of Second Street and Third Street may become
pedestrian-only for special events or considered for pedestrian-only access all season.
77. The secondary entrance at Cedar Avenue will become
the only gate large vehicles are allowed to enter and exit Lakeside.
88. A consolidated maintenance and delivery area, accessed
by a well-screened drive off Maple Avenue, would alleviate traffic downtown by eliminating semi-trailer truck deliveries downtown.
Upgrade Roadway and Stormwater Infrastructure
Over the next 1 – 5 years, existing roadway surfaces will need to be replaced throughout Lakeside. A detailed engineering and design study should be conducted to create a plan for replacement, stormwater infrastructure upgrades, and enhancements to existing roadways as suggested in the Master Plan.

Enhance Shuttle Operations and Add Off-Site Parking Recommendations for shuttle improvements will ensure the shuttle system in Lakeside is consistent, frequent and safe. These include expanding the dedicated primary shuttle route to serve popular destinations, introducing a high frequency route between the Welcome Center and Downtown, and continuing to offer on-demand shuttles. New electric, enclosed shuttle vehicles with doors and seat belts should be considered. This new shuttle system should connect to any additional on- or offsite parking that allows residents and visitors to park their cars remotely.
Signage & Wayfinding 7

A full signage audit should be conducted to catalog all the current signage in Lakeside. The audit should then be used to create a wayfinding and signage guidebook to be used for implementing a more unified signage approach that fits Lakeside’s historic character. The audit will especially be important to have completed as Master Plan improvements are done to better introduce Lakeside to the region with improvements to SR 163 and the Welcome Center. As circulation patterns are adjusted in roadway improvements, new wayfinding signage will need to be in place.

OVERVIEW SUPPORTING CATALYTIC PROJECTS RECOMMENDATIONS Sustainability
As Lakeside Chautauqua (in collaboration with the Lakeside Environmental Stewardship Society) pursues LEED for Communities status from the US Green Building Council, there are numerous sustainable practices that can be immediately implemented. In fact, completing a Master Plan is one of the first steps in the LEED for Communities process. Beyond this initial master planning requirement, there are three major areas where sustainability principles could be integrated into planned and future improvements. These include stormwater, building practices and lighting. Sustainable stormwater strategies should be integrated into all site and building improvements as planned and future projects are designed and implemented. Designed as a system as site and building projects take place, these “green� approaches could minimize the need to upgrade the stormwater system in the future. By maintaining and preserving existing buildings, Lakeside is already pursuing one of the most important and impactful principles of sustainability. This Master Plan recommends continuing this practice of investing in the maintenance of existing buildings to extend the useful life of these historic structures. When possible, existing buildings should continue to be operated without HVAC systems. Existing HVAC systems should be upgraded to maximize efficiency. As new buildings or building additions are considered, they should use natural ventilation and lighting to the extent possible, and the life cycle costs of materials should be considered.
Sustainable Stormwater Practices >> Naturalized (water habitat, native plantings, bioswales) >> Integrated (rain gardens at building sites, rain gardens along streetscapes, pervious pavers in parking lots) >> Traditional Stormwater Management (inlets, underground water detention)
Sustainable Building Practices >> Continue investing in maintenance of existing buildings >> Avoid new HVAC systems & upgrade existing systems to maximize efficiency >> Natural ventilation and lighting in new buildings
Sustainable Lighting Practices >> LED fixtures to reduce energy use >> Low color temperature light to reduce harshness
As upgrades are made to street and landscape lighting as part of general maintenance and new projects, LED fixtures should be used to reduce energy use. To address harshness, a lower color temperature light should be used (2700k or less).
Parks, Open Space and Trails
Lakesiders expressed the need for expanded recreation opportunities. In order to meet the current and future needs, the Master Plan recommends the following improvements: >> Connection to Regional Amenities: Opportunities exist to connect Lakeside to regional park amenities, such as Marblehead parks, state parks and the planned Marblehead Trail System. >> Connection to Danbury Schools Recreation Areas: If an access easement could occur connecting the Danbury parking lot to North Shore Blvd., new recreation facilities at Danbury Schools could be easily available for use by Lakesiders. >> Opportunities for Perry Park, Cherry Park and Chautauqua Park: Maintenance to each park should continue and upgrades to current amenities should be prioritized in parks budgeting in the coming years.
>> Update Tree Survey: Throughout Lakeside, a tree survey should be conducted and continually updated to catalog existing trees and monitor tree health. A strategy for tree replacement will need to be developed and ensure that Lakeside's tree canopy is maintained.

IMPLEMENTATION The Lakeside Chautauqua Master Plan creates a community vision for improvements and enhancements over the next 15-20 years. Improvements outlined in the focus area concept plans will be reliant on further community conversations and more detailed follow-up on design studies to develop the final design, cost estimates and construction plans. This implementation outline should be used as a tool for setting community priorities, guiding additional planning, moving forward with focus area design studies, and evaluating progress. The implementation plan is flexible to allow priorities to shift as opportunities in funding, partnerships and/or specific projects arise. CONCEPTUAL TIMEFRAME
