Land Use Report: Prepare for the Annual Meeting 2012

By Daisy Shaver

Prior to the More Than Annual Meeting 2011, the Land Use Plan-It outlined its work plan for projects for the 2012 gathering season. The plan is based on the current Land Use Plan-It faeries and the work they feel they can complete this season. These are the new or on-going development projects. Not included are many of the routine set-up and maintenance work that occurs each year. On-going maintenance includes road repair, brush management, fallen trees, forestry and erosion projects, grounds-keeping and building management.

Finish kitchen The stainless steel tops for the center island and dish area of the kitchen have been completed. These need to be installed. The pass through will have a handwashing sink within it. Above this will be deep wire shelving for dish storage. The cabinets supporting the countertops will house storage bins that need be ordered and organized. Refrigeration methods are being explored and will depend on the direction of solar and energy development plans. The windows around the shower need completion as well as some internal window and fixture work. The clerstory will have an automatic opening system for ventilation. When a solar system is decided upon, the lighting and stereo systems can be installed.

Over the summer, Endora and Mr. Lanier have been facilitating the building of "a three-season, rustic cabin" at Destiny. Faeries with little to no skills in framing have been coming together to build our first permanent sleeping spaces. The two work weekends faeries broke into three or four teams led by a faerie who knew how to do it.

These are the Kweens who inhabit the Land Use Plan-It March 2011-March 20012. Land Use is the primary place for issues pertaining to development and management of the "physical plant" of Destiny. Designing, permitting, gardening, facilitating projects, managing the well and septic, and wildlife preservation.
