Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Owner-business use of common space

[Coreen Plewa (plewac]

Yes, a prospective member wanted an attached two-car garage for his business
and we said we have only some one-car garages on the edges of the property
and he decided not to move to our community.

Subject: [C-L]_ Owner-business use of common space

One of our prospective new members currently has a business that they  
would bring with them to the community were they to move in.  This  
business would require use of a large percentage of our outdoor  
common space for up to 3 hours a day during business hours.  The  
business would also require installing a 4-foot fence to enclose that  
space.

We are wondering if other communities have had experience with home  
businesses that use common elements, and if so, how it all worked out.

Thanks,
Stephanie
