The construction company is not our dude - we are building with Dirk Bartolazzi. Jim Davis is the person we bought the lot from. So our lot is lot 20. You can see the crazy shape on this map, as well as the setbacks and the buildable area. The first time we saw this we thought, "There is no possible way we can build a house on that lot!" But we learned quickly that these maps are super deceiving.
A few days after we signed on the lot and sent over our earnest money, the buider met with an inspector to stake out the lot. He actually had good news for us. The person who initally staked it out had measured from the wrong area. When it comes to navigable waterways, you need to measure from the bank of the waterway. The last inspector had measured from the flood plane. This meant we actually had 15 extra feet to work with, which is a ton when you're hard up for space! So this was great news.
I wish I could put an aerial photo of the lot here as well, but I can't figure out how to do it just yet!
