Three-day design charrette, Lopez Community Land Trust
Lopez Community Land Trust LCLT and A.W.I.S.H. have formed a partnership in order to facilitate the development of Sustainable Community Homes on Lopez Island as a demonstration project for replication. We intend to work with county, state and local jurisdictions for full recognition of a host of demonstration features. During the design charrette these features will be explored for consideration. LCLT and A W.I.S.H. are committed to producing affordable homeownership and rental opportunities for Lopezians in a mixed-income, phased development of sustainable zero-net-energy homes along with a combined office/resource center. We are committed to utilizing green building materials and renewable energy resources. LCLT will own the land and forever hold it in trust. The Improvements will either be owned with re-sale restrictions or rented to qualified households. The land on which the Improvements sit will be leased under the terms of a 99-year, one-time-renewable ground lease. This stock of perpetually affordable housing is intended to serve the community of Lopez for many generations to come. Phase I will take place on approximately 2 acres of a seven-acre parcel owned by the Lopez Community Land Trust in Lopez Village. We imagine utilizing materials that have a long life and do not harm the environment. Technology breakthroughs are welcome but the emphasis is first and foremost on elegant solutions that are functional, simple and cost effective. Passive solar, high insulative values, fresh air through opening windows, and creating modest living spaces that are warm and welcoming are essential elements.
