Update on Major Variance

This major variance is just as expected (Very slow!)  Recap: The location of the tree's that we are using are 8 feet from the property line and the county requires a 15 foot setback.  This rule, has us applying for a Major Variance...

We have now sent 3 revised site plan's, hoping this will be the last.  (finger's crossed)  Below are pictures and comments from the county and Public Works.

pointing at tree that would need to be removed for parking....will it be removed?

Where Will We Park?

Civil Engineer Team

We knew parking would be difficult and expensive, but now that I'm at that point in the project, reality is settling in.  I am still working on getting quotes for excavation and the retaining wall to create a driveway for parking, but our original plans of the driveway being about half the cost of the entire project is looking to be true.

I met with the team at the civil engineer office; we looked at our options and have realized what needs to be done.  And can I just say, another great addition to the "lovers treehouse" team.  Great people to be around and work with (extremely knowledgable within Crestline and they've have a foot in the door with the city for YEARS)  Good people to know ;)

A couple things that need to happen for the parking:

- Excavating into the hillside

- Approximately a 12' retaining wall
