how do you deal with a phased master plan? initially create the Master Site to encompass all future phases? or create Master Site each time a new phase starts?

From what I've seen in the AGMBC pg 4 -10, it sounds like you'd follow the Master Campus approach and define the LEED Campus Boundary to include all phases. Each phase would have it's own LEED project boundary; each phase could be a single building or a "Group" of buildings. (See diagram on page 9) Per the SSc8 requirements in Appendix A of the AGMBC, if you follow the Master Campus approach, the exterior light requirements apply to the whole Master Campus Boundary, not the individual LEED Project Boundaries. So as long as light doesn't trespass over the Master Campus Boundary, it sounds like you would comply.

Does anyone have practical experience with phased master sites? How do you deal with buildings that are only planned in a later phase?Can you provide only general information/commitments about these?
How do you deal with land that e.g. in the 1st phase serve the first building, but in a later phase these will be built upon, thus they will have to be included in another LEED project boundary?
All info would be appreciated.
