More on subdivisions Letter to the editor From The Herald Journal (Logan, Utah) Published: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 2:45 AM CST To the editor: In regard to "Keeping that Rural Feel," (Herald Journal, Sunday, Nov. 25) true conservation subdivisions are normally "density neutral," meaning they have the same number of home sites as a conventional subdivision development. Reducing lot sizes in order to set aside protected land does not mean the developer is sacrificing revenue, as proven in golf course developments and lake lots. A study by Wayne State University (Mich.), "The Economics of Conservation Subdivisions," concluded that "lots in conservation subdivisions carry a premium, are less expensive to build, and sell more quickly than lots in conventional subdivisions," and that "conservation subdivisions are more profitable to developers than conventional subdivisions." LandChoices is a national non-profit organization that helps landowners and communities preserve land and rural character.
