pa's . . <br /> History y aid Philosophy 8 <br /> o <br /> Use of the Land v <br /> There are minimal restrictions on the <br /> type of house construction, style, or cost. <br /> Houses and other construction must meet <br /> community as well as county, state, and ;-y <br /> federal health and safety standards with <br /> regard to plumbing, wiring, septic tanks and 1,• -i the like. Buildings must be located so as to <br /> preserve the land as it now appears as far as <br /> possible. The community affirms a minimal <br /> amount of roads, this probably precludes <br /> individual driveways. Areas will be desig- - <br /> nated for gardens, orchards, vineyards, lift <br /> pastures, recreation, and community center. <br /> Long Range Goals <br /> We would like to construct dwellings — <br /> including multi-family -- family could be <br /> rented or sold at low cost to individuals or <br /> families who could not afford the corn <br /> munity. Some furnished apartments or <br /> houses might be made available to tem- — <br /> porary residents of the community. <br /> At an early date we hope to construct <br /> a community center which would include . VI. — <br /> space for community tools, hobbies, crafts, <br /> etc. The Center would have space for meet- ` <br /> ings, folk dancing, dinners, etc. Later, a <br /> wi <br /> young people's building might be construc- <br /> ted. Eventually we would like to develop the <br /> land as a resource for the larger community: <br /> perhaps some kind of free school, study <br /> center for youth and/or adults, retreat cen- <br /> ter, half way house or whatever seems to be <br /> useful and enhancing. -- - - <br /> A- <br /> . <br />
