Immediately after getting our Critical Areas Approved, I called and scheduled my appointment for the resubmittal for our Civil Review.  Luckily I was able to get in a week later on the 30^th at 10am.  I felt like I was going to battle this morning though – the reviewer we had was known for being one of the most difficult at the County – lucky us.  I basically wanted to get in and out and just get our approval.

Far from it though – this reviewer didn’t agree with the Critical Areas Reviewer and called her in there and she rescinded her approval!!  What the heck!  She told us that we can’t do the small amount of regrading that we wanted to do on our property within the previously cleared buffer area.  Apparently she didn’t notice the regrading before and it was only when our civil reviewer pointed it out to her that she saw it.  So in order to get the Critical Areas Approved (again) I needed to revise our grading limits.  That’s fine with me though – it really not that big of a deal to adjust the grading.  So our #1 issues of Critical Areas seems to be easy to get approved again.

And our #2 issue was the small vs. large drainage review requirement.  The reviewer came in guns-a-blazin’ on this issue and it wasn’t until a drainage reviewer came in that he agreed with me and that we met the small drainage review requirement.  Phew!

So with a few more small plan changes, we’ll be able to resubmit our site plan for approval.
