Cohousing-L Mailing List: Setting Up An Architectural Review Committee

[Ruth Hirsch (heidinys]

Congratulations!

Hope the info re:move-in w be helpful.

We do have a process;  one of the smarter things we did after some years,  and 
you may want to do same:
moved from An Architectural Review Committee
to An Architectural Preview Committee.

It is a different head set.  And an important difference to have your Review be 
a pre-view……..  This is perhaps what you have in mind.  aaannnndd….. you may 
not want folks to do stuff and then bring t for review………..  that can be 
another whole layer of complexity.  [More likely you want to see what folks are 
planning.  While still in planning stage.  Sorry if this seems obvious—  I 
agree, it is obvious……. but we needed to clarify.]

Subject: [C-L]_ Setting Up An Architectural Review Committee


?Can anyone share their experience in setting up an Architectural Review 
Committee? Information about the criteria your community used to select 
Committee members and your selection process would be greatly appreciated! 
Move-in is approaching for our community, and we?ll need to have a Committee in 
place.
