Lucky for me I have an architect/builder/on site construction manager that waded into these waters many times in this same area and knows all the pit falls in advance. I spoke briefly with a guy in the planning dept in this city and he ask me what builder I was using and I gave his name. The planning dept guy said he was the best builder he had ever worked with and the guy knew his stuff. That gave me a bit of extra confidence.
I am looking at another vacant lot in the same neighborhood to buy and build on so I may have to start the process all over again. I don't have any money into this project yet so I 'm not out anything. The only big differance will be the taxes on my old property are at the 1976 level and the new lot will be at 2009 level amounting to several thousand a year increase in taxes. I might add the new lot is a much better location and bigger.
