Cohousing-L Mailing List: Limited common space

[Hans Ehrbar (ehrbar]

At Wasatch Cohousing we are putting our condominium documents
together.  Each home as a certain area called "limited common space"
to use as a backyard or frontyard, for a grill or a deck, or a
dogwalk.  This area can be fenced in.  We will have a meeting in which
we will assign these areas to the homes.  Some people want it in the
front, some in the back of their home, it depends very much on the
particularities of every home.  How have other cohousing projects
dealt with this issue?  Do you have them, and how large are they?
Should all limited common areas be strictly the same size, and if not,
will that be reflected in the purchase price, etc.  Your thoughts and
experiences are very much appreciated.

We are approaching the groundbreaking date.  Our last units
are selling quickly, but some are still available.
