I sympathize with Andre. It can be so frustrating trying to find PC layouts, 
models for one to follow or modify. Most often heard comment is that it's 
impossible to do without visiting the land, etc.

Well, it seems to me that certain patterns, land structures repeat 
themselves, and thus there might be some PC layout ideas I might consider, or 
want to adapt.

For example I live in south central Kentucky, where mixed hardwood forest 
abound. I have 300+ acres in such woods that ring the property, and lead down 
to fairly gently sloped ground at the base of the high hills that continues 
across bottom fields to a good sized creek, which is backed up on the West by 
limestone based ridge.



Obviously I could provide more details, but am looking for holistic, PC based 
development plan that could be gradually phased in.
Comments appreciated.   Frank
