[Vision2020] Community Values v. Development

[Saundra Lund]

Hi Mark,

While there are some attractive points, what about the Fair Housing Act?
Unless it's a HOPA kind of deal, it sounds to me like there would
discrimination based on familial status, something I *definitely* wouldn't
support -- sorry.  Or, am I misunderstanding something?

V2020-ists,
Let me run this by ya'll for comment and input:
What level of support would you have for a PUD with the following concepts -
  1. Each dwelling unit is 1400-1600sf, 1 1/2 story (detached single-family
or duplex)
  2. 2 acres with 10-14 dwellings placed to allow for individual small
outdoor private spaces, semi-private spaces as well as larger
communal/public spaces
  3. Occupants/owners are singles or couples (maybe one child) who desire to
work from home (home occupations)
  4. Home occupations are to be low traffic, encourage incubation or
collaboration within the neighborhood
  5. Attached or detached one car garages/carport and each unit comes
equipped w/ a Vespa scooter or an elec. car
  6. Community amenities are close-by and along with #5 the use of "regular"
automobiles is discouraged
  7. Covenants/standards developed (enforced by Owners or HOA Board) to
maintain the concepts/character
  8. Social responsibility, neighborhood & place, community activism,
economic integration, creative endeavor, etc. are encouraged
  9. Landscape is developed with a continuous "flow", uninterrupted by
borders, fencing, property lines 10. Homeowners association provides common
area (grounds) maintenance 11. One might look at the homes on Apple Lane to
get a sense of the neighborhood "model"
12. One might also think of the "Cottages," w/ qualities elevated a notch or
two 13. Evolution of the initial concepts is allowed and encouraged

	Thanks,
