[Steppes] Radical Idea

[jack spinks]

Excellent points and the location is quite good. Something like a 99 year lease with a nondisturbance clause  and guarantee of rights of useage would make it palatable.  The lawyers would have to hash it out on that.  I suspect there will be a certain amount of risk no matter what you do.   I know if I were an owner I would want an escape clause that would not lock me into something like that even if the land became worth much more for other applications. 
   
  Still- for the right kind of deal I would be more than willing to work my tail off to build and/or setup for a permanent nonflooding site as well as putting money to work on it.  And the potential would exist to do much much more.

I would suggest, as I alluded to earlier, that perhaps Bordermarch is a good model, but I think we'd want to do some additional footwork.

First of all, Bordermarch has been slightly beset by the increasing costs demon. I think we'd want to get a reasonable cost increase agreement in place. I know that for example the shire of Greywood USED to use the Bordermarch site, but the site owners priced them WAY out of the market, basically thinking "the sca is the sca" and not realizing that the small group simply couldn't support the same types of fees.

But as I understand it, they signed essentially a 99 year agreement. I don't know if it will go on that long or not. I'm not sure if I'll be fighting as often at 130 as I am now.... But I think a look at their basic agreement would be a good place to start at least, should we decide on this type of course of action. And doing it at a site that's under 2 hours from the far reaches of the Barony is a good thing. Because I'll work my tail off...I just don't want Goldilocks to come 'round and sleep in my bed and not let me in it after a few short years. :)
