Hicks V. Dowd, Conservation Easements, And The Charitable Trust Doctrine: Setting The Record Straight, W. William Weeks, Nancy A. Mclaughlin
Articles by Maurer Faculty
This is the fourth in an exchange of articles published by the Wyoming Law Review discussing the application of charitable trust principles to conservation easements conveyed as charitable gifts. In 2002, Johnson County, Wyoming, attempted to terminate a conservation easement that had been conveyed to the County as a tax-deductible charitable gift. The County's actions were challenged, first in a suit brought by a resident of the County, Hicks v. Dowd, and then in a suit brought by the Wyoming Attorney General, Salzburg v. Dowd. The over six years of litigation associated with the easement's attempted termination has been the …

Renewable Energy And The Neighbors, Troy A. Rule
Faculty Publications
Small wind turbines and rooftop solar panels are a highly attractive energy option, capable of generating clean, renewable power without the need for transmission lines across vast stretches of rural land. State and federal incentive programs have made these devices increasingly affordable for landowners in recent years, generating an unprecedented level of interest in “distributed” renewable energy.Unfortunately, small wind turbines and solar panels are often far less attractive in the eyes of neighbors, who fear that the systems will erode neighborhood aesthetics and property values. Despite aggressive state and federal programs aimed at promoting renewable energy systems, land use controls …

The Business Improvement District Comes Of Age, 2010 Columbia Law School
The Business Improvement District Comes Of Age, Richard Briffault
Faculty Scholarship
It is difficult to say precisely when the business improvement district (BID) was born. BIDs emerged out of legal structures and concepts that date back many decades, but the specific BID form is a relatively recent development. By some accounts, the first BID in the United States was the Downtown Development District of New Orleans, which was established in 1975. Few BIDs were created before 1980, and in most places the surge in BID formation did not really get going until around 1990 – the year that Philadelphia's Center City District was first established. Although new BIDs were created on …
The Order-Maintenance Agenda As Land Use Policy, 2010 Notre Dame Law School
The Order-Maintenance Agenda As Land Use Policy, Nicole Stelle Garnett
Journal Articles
Debates about the broken windows hypothesis focus almost exclusively on whether the order-maintenance agenda represents wise criminal law policy — specifically on whether, when, and at what cost, order-maintenance policing techniques reduce serious crime. These questions are important, but incomplete. This Essay, which was solicited for a symposium on urban-development policy, considers potential benefits of order-maintenance policies other than crime-reduction, especially reducing the fear of crime. The Broken Windows essay itself urged that attention to disorder was important not just because disorder was a precursor to more serious crime, but also because disorder undermined residents’ sense of security. The later …

Curbing Energy Sprawl With Microgrids, 2009 University of Connecticut
Curbing Energy Sprawl With Microgrids, Sara Bronin
Sara C. Bronin
Energy sprawl - the phenomenon of ever-increasing consumption of land, particularly in rural areas, required to site energy generation facilities - is a real and growing problem. Over the next twenty years, at least sixty-seven million acres of land will have been developed for energy projects, destroying wildlife habitats and fragmenting landscapes. According to one influential report, even renewable energy projects - especially large-scale projects that require large-scale transmission and distribution infrastructure - contribute to energy sprawl. This Article does not aim to stop large-scale renewable energy projects or even argue that policymakers focus solely on land use in determining …

Cohousing: Joining Affordable, Sustainable And Collaboratively-Govened, Single Family Neighborhoods, Michael N. Widener
Michael N. Widener
This article arises from the residential lending mess on the American middle class (however defined today), proposing a few innovative, forward-looking solutions for Americans whose credit has been ruined or whose largest (and frequently illiquid) economic asset cannot be sold or leased to offset their households’ obligations. The purpose of my essay is to invite conversations among civic leaders from the government, design, lending and residential development sectors, and academic opinion-makers, on how to stem the current foreclosure tide and restore confidence in owner-occupied housing markets, overcoming public anxieties about whether future economic downturns will bury those dwellers anew.
