Unfortunately your last email did not include a grading plan for the property although did include useful information. I do however have a copy of what I believe to be a Building Permit Survey with revisions last updated 7/23/12. It is the attached JPEG. I was hoping I could speak with you so that I fully understand what is necessary to obtain a permanent Certificate of Occupancy. We in no way want to add to the permit as it currently stands, only verify what it currently states. Not being a contractor or builder, the Building Permit Survey seems to indicate the following: - Driveway - Retaining wall on west side of house (perhaps 3 feet in height?) - Retaining wall on east side of the house (perhaps a foot or 2?) - Retaining wall at south end of the lot (unsure of why or if this is necessary?) - Perhaps there is a patio or deck at rear of house? This is all I can make of the survey I have. I'm wondering if it's necessary to do all these items to obtain the permanent Certificate of Occupancy. Also, I assume if the rest of the yard is covered in sod this will satisfy the permit requirements, but need to confirm both these questions with you. I do have 2 other questions regarding the escrow to obtain a TCO when we can speak: - Must we submit my escrow check prior to closing on the house? - Is there time limit the work must be completed before potentially losing the escrow? I would be very gracious if there is any possibility to speak with you as soon as possible. I promise I will not take much of your time. Thank you for you help. Craig i
