Should the departing founder's veto remain?

The founder, who contributed a large sum toward the land purchase, wants a permanent veto to protect the cooperative's purpose after moving away. Residents want the accessibility improvements and changes to occupancy conditions that he opposes. Respecting the early contribution and the commitment, while letting current residents set the terms of their own lives, how should the decision be made — keep the veto, set a time limit, or replace it with equal voting rights?
