Hey Charles, Our zoning was 3 acre minimum. But they has a "Rural Hamlet" option which allowed for closer spacing of the houses in return for a large area of common open space. You should talk to the zoning people and see if they have a clustering option of some sort. The other thing to do is go for a zoning exception, but this involves more legal time and money. A third option is to design the community with 5 acre lots, but layout the geometry so that the houses are close together. I've seen very extreme examples of this where the houses are all on tiny "pipe stems" which run along a twisted path to large acreage far away. Hope that helps, -Kevin Oliveau Catoctin Creek Village In a message dated 11/8/2007 2:25:46 P.M.
