Delayed Site Approval

In April 2022, I backed a proposal to move an unpermitted Park-Model mobile home to my property without County Building Site Approval. I did so with the following assumptions.

  1. At that time, I was well into the Building Site Approval process, having completed
    1. Preliminary house design
    2. Geotechnical Evaluation
    3. Preliminary pert testing for septic
    4. Topographical survey
    5. etc
  2. Prior experience dealing with the county on a similar matter was successful.
    1. January 2013 – Moved Park-Model to Property
    2. June 26, 20213 – County Inspection
    3. July 5, 2013 – Violation Letter
    4. July 26, 2013 – Appeal
    5. December 26, 2013 – Resolved
      It was finally removed almost a year after moving it into place without permits.
  3. Under normal circumstances, a year is (was) adequate time to secure Building Site Approval.
  4. Site approval is not completed after more than triple the time normally required, resulting in a Code Violation.
