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.
