Back To The Farm . Agrihoods- New Trend ?

[Elliott]

"A new type of neighborhood known as an “Agrihood” will take root on 60 acres of open space in West Weber, but not everyone is happy about it.

Terakee Village is a development that will center around a functional farm – the first of its kind in Utah.

“There are a lot of them popping up around the country. The one that we've modeled after is the one in Gilbert, Arizona,” said Brad Blanch.

79 homes will be built surrounded by walking trails, botanical gardens, a senior assisted living center, an agricultural education center and a grocery store housing organic produce. They’ll leave half the property as open space."

In our PUDs half the land as open space is common and typical. Retention/park ponds, walking trails, etc are common. They are building a complete town with stores, etc as the central core with about half the land being preserves on the south edge of the county.

What is the objection. They need one of these...that'll teach 'em. Not everything green on the farm is grass.
