Cohousing-L Mailing List: Privately sponsored renovations to building envelope

[Robert C. James (rjames]

PrairieSky Cohousing in Calgary, Alberta, is up and on its feet, 
sporting (as of today) a veritable forest of new trees. Fifteen of our 
eighteen households are now living there, with some stragglers arriving 
in July.

We have been approached by one of our members for permission to make an 
adjustment to the building envelope - specifically turning their extant 
open-air porch into a sunroom. I would welcome suggestions about the 
processes used by other cohousing communities to adjudicate these sorts 
of requests.  Everyone is quite clear that the building envelope is 
"common", and thus renovations are issues for the group... so at least 
that distinction is clear.
