What members said, in order
The eventual homeowner still needs to agree to the landscaping that they're buying, right? So, you know, it's not the neighbors that are going to be able to choose what trees go where.Marcus Bode · Vice Chair1:29:31
There's other things that the builder may offer up to mitigate the value not only of the homes, but of the entire community. Okay, I don't know what they are right now, but just food for thought. The other thing I liked— there's going to be an HOA, and you can tie pre-existing rules and conditions to the HOA.Marcus Bode · Vice Chair1:30:11
I just don't want to— again, everything we put here, staff has to deem compliance with, and I don't want to have us create a requirement that we can't necessarily enforce.Ben Helber · Commissioner1:43:38
