Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: titles

[Rob Sandelin (floriferous]

There is a paper on legal definitions on the Intentional Communities
Resources pages at http://www.ic.org/nica/resource.htm

You might other information there that is useful.

Land trusts are recorded usually on the title of the property and they are
therefore binding. The advantage is that a land trust may last much longer
than the founding members do, thus future generations who try to develop
land, the permit agency runs into restrictions on the title and then you
have to remove the restrictions, thus research the founding bylaw documents
etc. If you set your founding bylaws that it takes 100% of the community to
vote in agreed to develop the land, then hopefully your land preservations
will be upheld.

There are references on the ICRP about land trusts that go into much depth
on the subject and include sample legal forms, etc.

Good luck on your endeavor, after you check out the ICRP and still have
questions feel free to ask NICA. There are several long time communitarians
on our board with lots of experience. You can reach us at NICA [at] ic.org

One more thing, Rick.

A trust is a whole different kind of animal that may or may not be the best
way to preserve the hill.  As long as you have agreement about preserving
it, the details to that can be worked out in the course of the development
approvals.

Could someone please explain, or point towards
resources that explain, the difference between Planned
Unit Developments (PUD's), condos, and homeowner
associations?  Our group has found land (85 acres) and
is trying to figure out the best way to own the
majority of land commonly, but have individual titles
to our own houses.  There's also a sacred hill on the
site that we're considering putting in a trust, so
information on how to do that would also be a great
help.

Thanks

Rick
