On TV I’ve seen tiny homes subdivisions. These are very permanent. 41 42 Patrick Mallett: They’re not. You could do a subdivision, theoretically, with 10 lots and do 10 tiny homes that meet the 43 minimum lot standards. I think part of the rub is unless you do something like a cluster subdivision, you end up with a 300 44 square foot tiny home on a 1-acre lot. It may work, it may not. I think that the cost of the land basis kind of drives that out of 45 the realm of reality. It definitely does in the Rural Buffer where you’ve got 2-acre to 5-acre lots. 46 47 Tony Blake: They’re doing it in Chatham County but when they did it there was no zoning at all so they were able to pull it 48 together. 49 50 Patrick Mallett: Right now, you would either build the tiny home on a foundation that could be a stick built, and most of them 51 are not long enough. You can also build to a modular home standard; a mobile home standard; or now an RV Park Model 52 Standard of construction. 53 54 Attachment 2 31
