allow or even start regular fires under controlled circumstances (not during a drought for instance) to clear out the underbrush and ultimately make the forests healthier.

Zone those areas immediately around the forests in some way. Either ban construction or allow up with the caveat that you're taking a risk and there will be regular fires in your vicinity.
