No Combo for Now

[kevin_standlee]

I checked into what it would take to combine the lot on which Fernley House sits with the newly-purchased adjacent lot. It turns out to be a lot more expensive than I expected: $2400 for the application fee, and it requires that the land be "reverted to acreage" and then re-divided. Besides, as the lot secures the loan we took out to purchase it, I expect that we can't — or at least shouldn't — fiddle with the boundary lines until we've paid off the loan.

I think that was a typo for "reverted to acreage", i.e. you have to declassify both plots to "fallow land" then get new permits for everything currently on or intended to be place on it.

Yep, it s/b "reverted" and I've fixed the typo now. Thanks.

Permitting probably wouldn't be too difficult as the entire area is classified as mixed residential/commercial, but it's not worth the effort for now, particularly given that the most ambitious thing we've seriously considered is buying a storage container and putting it on the lot. We mainly purchased it to prevent it from being developed.
