Go with Duany or forget it? Why not add rural <br /> village for some mixed use like discussed for Hannah Creek? Without sewer, can't do this. It's not <br /> appropriate for 30,00040,000 sq.ft.lots.Why not allow clerestory windows?Why the standard for fence/wall <br /> height? Cars aren't 8 feet high. Why deal with gates? They will always be left open. <br /> Flexible Development 20 <br />
