Cohousing-L Mailing List: WANT REFERENCES FROM MUNICIPALITIES THAT GAVE ZONING CLEARANCES TO YOUR COHOUSING COMMUNITY!!

[Sally Thompson (cohousinggroups]

Cohousing is a very new and strange concept to the municipality in SE 
Pennsylvania where we hope to gain zoning approval for a Planned Residential 
Development.  We think that if we could receive a few letters from the 
Municipal bodies that approved a Coho Community previously and found it to be a 
real asset to the municipality once built, it might reassure reluctant 
politicians here that we are not going to be a hippy commune that will bring 
down property values!  If you could provide me with the name and e-mail address 
of the Manager, President, etc. of the Municipality that has welcomed you 
warmly that might not mind reassuring our municipality that they have nothing 
to fear and everything to gain by creating appropriate zoning modifications to 
allow us to exist, we would be so grateful!  

And if you know of any nice persons interested in Cohousing very near to 
Philadelphia, send them our way too!  We are ready to build our membership now 
and soon our community!
