[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

Not trying to be a pain, but this is new to you?

I live right near you and went through this too... lets just say I lost big time... even with a good lawyer.

Move to the santa cruz mtns in LG and you can do what you want (permits optional).

We’ve never attempted to add an addition before so, yes the extent of the noses up your skirt and the breadth of what they can “force” you to do outside the scope of the four walls is jaw-dropping. After having gone through a kitchen remodel last year (which did not require the additional design scrutiny) we thought we were prepared. Our remodel was done under 2012 rules, these are 2013 rules.....The requirement to prove you aren’t disrupting the tidelands or bays or hills in a landlocked, flat community is ridiculous. A kindergartner could tell you that’s not an issue.
