Progress

After the offer was made I paid the county to test the site to see if it would perk, because sales are contingent upon approval. Taxes this year were $60+. The driveway apron was put in as part of the covenant. Whenever soil is moved on a lot a permit needs to be pulled and within six months the driveway apron must be installed, either concrete or macadam. Since I raise plant material at home I started landscaping outside the right of way along the road. There was a lot of wild grape at the back of the lot and it all has been removed. I sawed the white oak tree trunks, most up to 18" in diameter, into 5 foot lengths and they are stacked in the middle of the lot, enough wood for quite a few winters. All the brush was chipped as mulch for the landscape planting. I planned on building a house towards the front of the lot, with a basement so the septic would drain, at the county’s suggestion, and water is available with a tap, a community based system. The minimum square footage for a home is 1200 sq. ft. and plans must be approved by the architectural committee. Modular homes are acceptable and we had the first log built home erected this summer. Time Warner just laid the cable this year for Road Runner access and VOIP. If anyone has any questions please e-mail me or call 704-567-0949.
