If it seems like I haven’t made very many posts about projects this year, it’s because I haven’t. But that’s not because I haven’t been busy. It’s been because most of my time has been taken up by this project: The expansion of a local RV park, complete with new a new restroom/laundry facility (shown in the model at right).
I haven’t written about it before because—well, there really hasn’t been much to write about. It’s been all about design, regulatory compliance, and so on. All of which has required a design team comprised of three engineers and three additional consulting scientists, including a Ph.d geologist. Welcome to development in California!
Overall the project has been great fun. (I’m looking forward to being able to do another project like this!) There have been a few hitches along the way (in fact, there was one big hitch), but it always seems to go that way. We got them resolved and continued trucking along. We should come out of planning by the middle of December and be filed with the State and its silly two track process by January. Ground breaking is scheduled for Spring, after the rains stop. In the mean time, the Conversion Exemption has already been approved and tree removal has begun.
Rock on!
