My brother says “Yep” and your architect is suppose to do that, to get you through the permit process.
He had way more to say, which is funny as hell, because he is a Democrat but, talks exactly like a Republican.
He’ll get it one day....
The paperwork has “Development Application” across the top, it seems pretty obvious it’s aimed at a development rather than a puny little addition. The designer questioned them and their only response was “You’re in a special study zone”.
When my husband takes the paperwork in, he’s going to say - “I think we were given the wrong paperwork because it’s an application for a development, not remodel.”
