We are using the LHBA stock plans for a 40 foot x 40 foot home. We made a few minor modifications to the plans for aesthetics and our local engineer had to adjust a few things (i.e. snow load!). We will have a full walk-out basement, but will leave that unfinished for now, I think we have enough on our plate! Our septic is a bit of a challenge, but you can do anything if you're willing to pay! We're just looking at it, as anyone else who wants to build where we are is going to have to go through the same thing, so we're just hoping the investment will be worth it! The review time for the septic permit took about a month and some changes had to be made. But, I have to admit the plan review for the actual building permit was pretty painless. The Planning department did require some changes because the house was too tall, but those were made pretty quickly by our designer. Other than that, no changes were required! I like to think it was because of excellent preparation, but was probably more luck!
Paperwork and Fees required: (Fortunately 1-4 were taken care of by previous owner)
1) Soil Tests
2) Percolation Test
3) Water Table Monitoring
4) Hookup fee to Private Water Company
5) Topographic Survey
6) Septic Design
7) Recording on Deed that we need a Packed Bed Media Septic System
8) Land Use Permit
9) Approval for backup water from another water district also recorded on our deed
10) Documentation from Private Water Company that they'll give us water
11) Fire District Impact Fee
12) Building Plans, Site Plan, RESCheck (energy calculation), Engineering calcuations
There were a myriad of other county impact fees that were included in our building permit fee - but we have a building permit!!
