Good question. I know that the portion of our driveway in the ROW required a permit but the actual driveway on our property did not. With that being said though, ordinance states if the shed is bigger than 10x12 it must be on a concrete foundation with footings. Guess I'll have to call the building department tomorrow and ask about that.

Read your thread earlier tonight actually. Pavers would definitely be easy enough, especially if I decide to move this shed (not likely but you never know). After having torn out a 60 year old concrete garage foundation by hand last spring, I do know that if I go with concrete, it's staying there forever. Not messing with that again.

The concrete floor off grade or the shed floor? Even with a concrete pad I'd still do an elevated wood floor with joists just to get the shed off the ground. It'll be sitting at the base of a hill with plenty of runoff so if the concrete were the floor it'd need to be elevated quite high to prevent the shed from leaking.
