Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Parking issues

[Deborah Behrens (debbeh]

Can't help Nancy on her detached vs attached garage problems.  Highline
Crossing is going to be all detached.  Colorado's weather is better - 
that's one reason why I'm here instead of my hometown in Connecticut.

Even tho we're not built yet, we've also recognized some parking problems 
of our own.  We're planning a variety of open spaces, 20' garages, and 
22' garages.  Unfortunately, based on the contracts signed so far, we are
selling more 22' garages than we have room to build.  It seemed unfair
that those who signed contracts first (on the basis only of which buildings
were being built first) should have priority, so we are going to change
our procedure.  We're going to change it to sell 20' garages only, and then
after all the contracts are signed and we know how many people want 22'
garages, we'll have some sort of a lottery or other preference system which
is more equitable.  We only came up with this last night so we're not sure
how it's going to work, but it's got to be fairer than the way we were 
doing it.
