"Rivers and the inhabitants of the watery elements are for wise men to contemplate and for fools to pass by without consideration" -Izaak Walton
We've got 2,000 lots on the books that are ready for water as we speak. It's crazy.
I understand what you're saying, lowbudget. There obviously are a number of other restrictions and/or requirements that would need to be included, and considered, including the average size, cost, and quality of the homes. If done properly, based on a minimum total acreage of the land in question, etc, you could end up with a higher end development/community and not just be inviting 'up-scale rednecks', so to speak.
Keep in mind that I was just offered almost 3/4 million for my place (I turned it down), and I have over 10 wooded acres, so I'm as much of a NIMBY guy as many here. On top of that, there's over 1000 acres of land next to me that the two families have been trying to market for close to 20 years, and I'm obviously being watchful of what ends up there. If no development restrictions are in existence, and I wake up one day to a logger and a bull dozer flattening the woodlot next to my 1450' side line, up to the actual property line, I'll be one pissed off MF and someone's dick is going to be freeze-dried, so to speak.
What nobody needs is someone like a ****** *****, et al, who are known to just throw up cheap(er) quality housing on flat fields, with no riparian barriers, or property line buffers to existing communities.
I'm open for ideas, for sure.

Its certainly a complicated matter that is relatively new to our area. My community is facing the same problems as yours. All I can say is be proactive, which it sounds like you are, and legislation drives everything. You get it, but a lot of people will picket a project while ignoring the enabling legislation, so it sounds like you are taking the right approach with county ordinance.
Well it's hard to complain about development when we are tossing more carrots out there for more people to come. In addition, with companies allowing more freedom to work from home, folks are free to move to areas with a lower cost of living, driving up the cost of living here.
You're quite correct. And if I can figure out how to convert the inspection jobs I do part-time for one client to 'virtual inspections', like some businesses do today, I'll be able to relocate to a remote mountain cabin somewhere and (almost) completely ignore all of these idiots out there.
