Marlow Master Plan - Survey Response - Zoning - Housing & Population
Camping
• No trailer parks/”campgrounds” (RV parks)
• People living all year round in a camper in someone's yard. Doesn't that require a camp permit?
Cluster Housing
• Cluster housing is okay & saves on communal areas
• Cluster zoning
Energy
• Energy audits, encouraging citizens to do them
• Sustainable & energy efficiency grants, both individual and town
Housing
• Building codes (?) in Marlow?
• Creative solutions for affordable housing
• No large housing developments that are not tasteful & in keeping with the look of Marlow
• See Zoning - Land Use
Limits
• Discuss/explore the need for growth vs. quality of rural location
• Draw in more families (younger people)
• Limit growth +/-
• Limit/qualify type of high density housing
• More R2 (2 or more acre zoning) near town center
• Town center increase population – leave outlaying areas for rural/ag. use
• Waterfront development – limited by (state) zoning
• Zoning needs to protect rural quality
Senior Housing
• I could see in the future a large log home (like one in Marlborough on the main drag – the demo - Real Log Home – Senior housing with huge common room & greenhouse, each have small apt.
• Percentage of workforce housing (ie. working people making $50,000 or less) - % of growth – state requirement
• Plan for aging population
• Some kind of senior housing in Marlow.
