A large portion of the property will remain as open space. What kinds of features, uses, amenities, etc. would you be excited to see?
I would hope some land could be set aside for the residents to have their own food gardens - a plot for each resident like in Europe. Or they could do coop plots.

Name it for something evocative of the natural beauty all around. Manzanita? Buckeye? Oak? I like the idea of having the word “Corner” in the name for its location at that bend in Mesa Road. Makes me think...

We are looking at ways to include community spaces within the project. What types of uses and programming would you like to see?

In your opinion, what is the importance of including uses and programming at the property available to the village as a whole?
Makes it inclusive with the rest of the local community. Think it’s important for residents to have a lot of influence on what the neighborhood will be.
Is it true that because this project is subsidized by the Feds, it does not prioritize local low-income residents? I am told that was the case for our earlier CLAM project, and therefore does not benefit...

I would contact Sky ? Webb or some other Miwoc person to explore some names that apply to the place, or along the river or a village or someting
Agree on this re a name. Also, among all the good ideas about uses: value of silence, simple walking trails, quiet hours (maybe more than the expectable night time), keeping in mind not overusing what...

It would be wonderful to have a community garden for residents, if possible involving a 'food forest' along permaculture principles. Depending on the terrain/amount of space and potential partners, another...
