Our finalized site plan


I am back from submitting our finalized site plan at County, for our septic and well permit! It feels good to have something submitted, feels like PROGRESS! Once again JR (our site designer) came to my rescue, he met me there to give me the plans and get paid, but since he also had some other items to take care of at County, we dropped off our stuff together. It certainly does help to have someone with you who is so knowledgeable and respected.

A bit of the back story....
We did have to send out a soil engineer to do 3 more soil borings, as the original soil borings were spread throughout the parcel, due to the fact they had intended on building 4-5 homes on the lot.
For the purposes of submitting our septic permit application JR felt it in our best interest to get new borings in the immediate area where our septic field will be on the site. That's all well and fine, except when there is 18 inches of snow on our "driveway" and lot. And there are still trees and brush covering a great deal of the land. So, last weekend the guys finished clearing a path so the soil engineer could get his truck back there. And he was truly a sport to get out there this past Tuesday and we had new reports by Wednesday.Which we sent immediately to JR, who then responded that the new soil results will save us money b/c we don't need as large of a septic field as originally drawn, b/c the soils are that good.

And ta-da here is our finalized site plan, which, as previously mentioned, has now been submitted to County for permitting.
Keep your fingers crossed!
