Defining rustic elegance

Oconeeans might be able to recognize Appalachian Rustic Elegance when they see it, but how do you define it?  The county planning commission may get the answer Monday night?  As a follow-up to a meeting last month, the staff was asked to define rustic elegance.  And today Josh Stephens, the staff liaison to the commission, believes he has the wording that, in the least, can serve as a starting point.  Last month the commissioners interrupted their discussion of a corridor plan to ask the staff for the definition. The planning commissioners are considering plans for three corridors that lead into the county, with the idea that they should reflect rustic elegance themes.
