Do you have any examples of a RV/Boat storage lot in a neighborhood done right? Photos even better....
I have an idea of how, with enough folks interested, our neighborhood could put one in. Negative Nellies though keep throwing back that it will look junky, that it will not add value. My response is that yes, that could be true, but not necessarily....
I want to tell them that they have to be smarter than the junk pile.... but I bite my lip on that one...
We have a big open ugly field of weeds now that is never used. The problem is that it's up by the community pool, but I have an idea that a small fraction of it back next to the woods could be fenced off, with several tiers of trees and bushes screening it.... some up close to the fence, more away from it. I figure it could be done so that it's barely seen, and it wouldn't have to be some fancy paved and lit thing either... I figure it would add value to everyone's property even as a re-sale amenity....and I figure it could likely be done, with enough interested folks splitting the cost, at no cost to the HOA or to uninterested individuals. Ongoing costs would likely be negligible, and if it was decided to charge a small fee for use it might even help to pay for a tennis court or some such thing eventually out in front of it providing even more screening!
There are other locations where it could work too, but they would all be much more expensive...
We have a few RV'ers and several folks with boats in the neighborhood. Problem is I don't know them all so I don't know exactly how many there are or how many of them would be interested.... and I don't know how many folks have thought about buying a boat or RV if only they had a place to keep it.
I know that it's an idea that will never fly, but I would love to find a photo of something that looks nice, that could be a real value add. A project done right. I posted the idea on the communities facebook page and the negative nellies are really dragging it down posting photos of junky looking extremes... I'd just love to post a counter to it...something more realistic to what it 'could' be
