Fwd: Inquiry to visit
by High Street Cohousing 12 Mar '19

12 Mar '19

Hi all, An interested person from Auckland, interested in establishing another cohousing project, is going to be in Dunedin Thursday and Friday this week and would be interested in meeting with someone from our group. Catherine could be available after 2pm Friday - is there anyone else interested and available at some time in those two days? I will also suggest that he come along on Thursday night to our meeting. Anne ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dr Gary Dennis <gary(a)trysoftaproductions.com> Date: Mon, Mar 11, 2019 at 11:36 AM Subject: Re: Inquiry to visit To: High Street Cohousing <ucoldunedin(a)gmail.com> Hello Anne Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. All sorts going on here that have been down to the last minute! We will arrive in Dunedin on Wednesday evening after we complete the rail trail. We will be there Thurs and Friday, departing Saturday am. We are at the very early concept stage at this point and also have had several meetings with Earth Song. Not sure if attending your meeting on Thursday evening would be appropriate a distraction to your agenda? Hearing your story would be great though and we could meet at a different time? Do you have a contact phone / mobile that we could chat to save a lot of emailing? Kind regards Gary *From:* High Street Cohousing *Sent:* Monday, February 18, 2019 9:54 AM *To:* gary(a)trysoftaproductions.com *Cc:* UCOL Directors *Subject:* Re: Inquiry to visit Hi Gary We would be happy to share some of our experience in the High Street Cohousing project with you when you are in Dunedin in mid-March. Because building is underway, we don't have access on to the site, and our office is now off-site. We have a group meeting on Thursday 14 March , 7.30-9.30pm, which you would be very welcome to attend. We could make a time while you are here to meet with 2 or 3 key people, when we could talk technical details with you. We used and adapted much of the legal documentation that Earthsong created, and would be happy to talk with you about how all of that process worked. Then when we did the big signing of legal documents last year, and particularly the Sale&Purchase documents at the end of the year, we discovered a lot more about the way lawyers read these documents. If you could let me know if there are particular areas in the development of our project that you are interested in, that could be helpful. Or we can just begin at the beginning and tell you what happened When you know your Dunedin dates, let me know and we will work out when we can meet up. If at all possible, I would recommend you come to our Thursday evening meeting as well.

Site, talk, and address
by Sander Zwanenburg 10 Mar '19

10 Mar '19

Kia ora everyone, A few points I wanted to share: - Our website is down. Alex, can you check what happened? - Nice to see Tim’s Cohohui talk on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xD4HKpg7FWU - About our name & address. Some time ago we talked briefly about the idea of naming our driveway and using it in our address, similar to Heritage View. Has this possibility ever been checked with DCC? It might make sense if we want to keep High Street Cohousing as a name. Regards Sander

Project names -- a little history
by Rosemarie Smith 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Now this is being discussed again, here’s an exchange — with memories of people who contributed much in early stages. Start from the bottom. The meeting that adopted ‘High Street Cohousing’ came immediately after this. My memory is that there was a mood to reign in people like me who might be liable to dangerous flights of fancy (like Birdsong…) Someone who shall remain nameless (and is no longer involved) turned to me during the meeting and said in tones I’d like to interpret as wonderment, “You’ve got quite an sense of humour haven’t you.” Oh dear, one of the great challenges in life, and especially risky in email. So in case anyone’s in doubt, IT WAS A JOKE!! And no I still haven’t thought of something sensible, though Kristin’s suggestion of a two-tier name that keeps the descriptive ‘High Street Cohousing’ seems a good one.

Fwd: High Street Excavations

Here's a progress report. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <james.molloy(a)terramdc.co.nz> Date: Tue, Mar 5, 2019 at 2:21 PM Subject: RE: High Street Excavations To: Stefan Box <stefan(a)reececonsultants.co.nz>, Nic McEwan < nic(a)hallbros.co.nz>, Marcus Bulger - Hall Bros <marcusb(a)hallbros.co.nz> Cc: High Street Cohousing <ucoldunedin(a)gmail.com> Stefan / Nic & Marcus Today’s Plateau testing went successfully. Results from FH will be confirmed tomorrow likely and we can look at firming up on number of passes. At present use 8 passes for any fill placed in 250mm loose layers to regulate the base of the excavation. I have labelled this area as blocks C1 to C4. The subgrade has been slightly over excavated which Regan had asked Cam (excavator Driver) to do, which was removing the soft alluvium. However in light of depth and consistency of that alluvial layer I have asked for this to be brought up to the base of the original topsoil only (the thin dark brown layer in attached photos). The fill from 17 Selkirk St is fine – this can be mixed into clean site won fills and laid as per that fill specification, free of charge delivered I am assuming. (I left a note for Bill – Stevenson & Williams foreman too) Thanks, James Molloy [image: terra_logo_rgb] Terra MDC Ltd Level 1 326 Moray Place Dunedin 9016 New Zealand ph +64 3 477 0090 m: +64 220 737 480 *If this email is not sent or carbon copied to you please return the email including all attachments and content to the sender, and destroy all electronic or hard copy that may have been made.* *To protect against computer viruses, e-mail programs may prevent sending or receiving certain types of file attachments.

Naming us /re branding?
by Rainer Beneke 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Hi all I might sound a bit boring, but has anyone googled ‘High Street cohousing’? There are a lot of hits. There is even a website and a Facebook site. There are other websites that refer to it and there are a number of news items about it. If we want to change our name to something other than High Street Cohousing, we had better do it soon. I do not take offense to ‘High Street Cohousing’ (though it is as imaginative as Paul Smith or Rainer Beneke ). It describes were we live (High Street) and what we are (Cohousing). Everything else that is important about us, will be defined in the way we live together! (I hope we will spend more time on our body corporate rules than on our name. And it might be easier to find a new name after we set our body Corp rules.) Regards Rainer I check my emails once a day. Please call me if you need an urgent reply.

Position of letter boxes
by Gay Buckingham 04 Mar '19

Thanks for your notes Karen, it is good to get them. Regarding the position of letterboxes: I’m sure i read somewhere in some cohousing literature that having all letterboxes in one spot was to be encouraged as it gave residents another potential social interaction.
