Well we had a zoning bomb dropped on us last fall...There was one existing home on the property and we wanted to put a second one in as well. So we went through all the proper channels and permits (or so we thought) and got the second house here. THEN the
city tells us that we have to pay a $3000 development fee!!! There was no mention of this beforehand, and it had only been enacted a few weeks before we put our house on the property...That was a major burn to our pocket
books. We could've done so much with that money, and are just now finishing paying for it. We're not even allowed to have any more than two houses, even with this damned fee paid. Our eventual plan is to get a 16 unit tire-walled earthship built here, and change one of the existing houses into a store of some sort.
