I have I house in Capistrano Beach that I am considering tearing down and building a new house on the lot. I will have to do a complete geological survey and completely regrade the property before I can build even though the lot has been there for nearly 50 years and hasn't moved an inch in that time. The survey and the regrade is almost $20,000.00. I am sure these regulations are just to cover someones tail in case the hillside slides off into the ocean but they are a little over the top. I need to get this thing built before it turns into another Laguna Beach.
