Chautauqua Lake Management Commission
2008-03-06 13:38:00
CLMC Decision Expected Today By Dennis Phillips dphillips@post-journal.com 3/6/2008 - MAYVILLE — Whether to use herbicides on Chautauqua Lake is not a choice the Chautauqua Lake Management Commission has taken lightly.However, it is a decision the group will most likely make today. In January, the commission formed a herbicide recommendation committee to investigate and study the past use of herbicides and their effect on the lake. Last month, the committee met for a special meeting to make a decision on the committee's recommendations, but delayed taking action because not all members of the commission had a chance to discuss the possible use of herbicides with their respective boards. The commission is made up of several organizations that all have a vested interest in the quality of Chautauqua Lake. Now, today in Mayville when the commission meets for its regular monthly meeting, the group will consider herbicide committee recommendations. ''The committee has done a great j...

With structural work complete, Victorian-era ornamental trussing is being installed at the 40-unit Bemus Bay condominium project on the Chautauqua Lake shoreline.     Bemus Point, NY (PRWEB) March 2, 2008 -- Structural work has been completed on the new 40-unit Bemus Bay condominium project at this Chautauqua Lake community and the Victorian-era design ornamental trussing is being installed.   The two buildings being constructed, named Browning and Columbia for the hotels of the same names that stood on the site in the early 1900s, will each host 20 homes, all with stunning views of Chautauqua Lake.

All across the country, buyers face the same dilemma -- "Do I buy the house 5 minutes from work, or do I buy the house 30 minutes from work for 25% less money?" 90 percent of the time, buyers choose the latter, and for fear of "steering", Realtors rarely try to convince buyers otherwise.

  By Jessica Wasmund jwasmund@post-journal.com  Researchers are seen adding Acentria larvae to Chautauqua Lake 2/25/2008 - In an effort to combat the Eurasian water milfoil, an invasive species that is abundant throughout Chautauqua Lake, representatives from Cornell University and Chautauqua Lake Association are combining forces to fight against further invasion.The CLA has an ongoing six-year contract with the university to continue studying the lake and trying to cut down on the population of the Eurasian water milfoil.''Every summer the CLA has been very visible on the lake with our machines doing what we do best — assisting the lakefront owners with shoreline cleanup and harvesting weeds to remove them from the lake,'' said Paul Swanson, CLA general manager.Through numerous dives into the lake, Cornell research ponds manager Robert Johnson has discovered what is happening along the bottom of the lake.

Chautauqua County Bucking Real Estate Trends
2008-02-21 02:03:00
By Robert Rizzuto rrizzuto@post-journal.com 2/19/2008 - Despite the conditions of the national housing market, the New York state and Chautauqua County markets have remained relatively stable, according to statistics released from the New York State Association of Real tors. ''Our biggest obstacle as realtors right now is the national media constantly talking about a housing slump without mentioning it is regional in nature, and the Northeast has not been dramatically impacted by the slump,'' said Earl Johnson, 2007 Chautauqua County Board of Realtors president. ''According to (National Association of Realtors) Chief Economist Lawrence Yun, national real estate forecasts are not any more useful to local markets than a weather forecast giving the average temperature for the entire nation,'' he saidAnd Chautauqua County's sales numbers reflect its higher performance than the state overall, according to the report.

Home Prices up in Half of Markets

Daily Real Estate News  |   February 14, 2008   Roughly half of metropolitan areas continued to show rising home prices in the fourth quarter of 2007, according to the latest quarterly survey by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.In the fourth quarter, 73 out of 150 metropolitan statistical areas show increases in median existing single-family home prices from a year earlier, including 11 areas with double-digit annual gains and another 12 metros showing increases of 6 percent or more; 77 had price declines including 16 with double-digit drops."The continuing crunch in the jumbo loan market that began in August has disproportionately reduced the number of transactions in higher price ranges," says Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist. "For buyers who need loans of more than $417,000, mortgage interest rates have been running more than a percentage point higher, and that has been having an obvious impact.

Mayville festival is the icing on the lake   Castle puts crowning touch on Mayville's winter extravaganza Christine A. Smyczynski (January 27, 2008) — Come snowstorm or thaw, there'll be an ice castle at the Mayville I.C.E. Festival in Chautauqua County .After all, I.C.E. stands for Ice Castle Extravaganza. The centerpiece of the festival, a structure some 50 feet long and 12 feet high, usually is made from blocks of ice cut from Chautauqua Lake. It takes volunteers about two weeks to construct the frozen masterpiece, billed as the southernmost ice castle built in the United States. "If the lake doesn't freeze, the castle will be made of bales of hay sprayed with water," says Melissa Balch, a member of this year's festival committee.

Chautauqua Lake Hotel & Condo Project Move Forward
2008-01-16 12:30:00
Referred to as ''the Bootey Bay Resort Hotel Project '' by Walters, the hotel proposed Monday differs greatly from the project first proposed in February 2006.Initially proposed by McGraw as an eight-story hotel with 150 rooms and 12 condominiums, the hotel is now slated to be a 10-story building with 156 hotel rooms and 24 condominiums. When asked about the change, Walters said McGraw had included more floors and more condominiums because the cost of building the complex has gone up — specifically from the recent decision to run sewer lines from Ashville to Stow along Route 394.In addition to condominiums on the eighth, ninth and tenth floors, the hotel and resort would also house a large banquet facility, conference rooms, restaurant, pub, fireplace lounge, spa and fitness center, two pools and a sauna — as well as offer such outdoor activities such as tennis, hiking and skiing.''There will be docks for residents of the condos, there will be docks for users of the hotel and ...
