Cohousing-L Mailing List: Lot development model

[Nicole Lorsong (nickittynic]

I feel I've asked about this before, but I still don't 'get' it. Can someone 
give me a basic run-down of how the lot development model works? 
 
Does everyone own a separately deeded, equally sized lot, and then there's just 
easements written in for community paths, etc? If that's the case, how does the 
group of houses work? 
 
Thanks in advance!
