Planning the Future & Feasibility of Your Landscape

Make the most of your property with landscape planning by Thomas J. Hoff. He offers a wide range of services to analyze and resolve any issues you may have with your planned development, such as drawing up site grading plans, requesting building permits, providing zoning hearing testimony, and meeting with various agencies. For commercial clients, he has the resources and expertise to take on projects ranging up to 10 acres. On the residential side, Thomas usually handles three-lot subdivisions. For larger endeavors, such as more than 50 subdivisions, he can recommend other companies to help you.


Feasibility Study

The process for creating residential or commercial lot subdivisions starts off with a feasibility study. This involves analyzing the land, its zoning requirements, environmental restrictions, and any other restrictions the county may have, such as necessary road connections and utilities. This determines how many lots the land can be divided into in the presence of wetlands. Sometimes a plan for five lots is only big enough for three lots and knowing this may help you plan for (or avoid) the cost of expanding water and sewer.

Timeline

Once Thomas sends the plan to you for review, he waits for your comments and revisions before resubmitting. Turnaround time is based on the county review and approval system, but it could easily take one year. That's why it's important to do this study before you buy so you know the limitations on land development. Even if zoning or environmental issues become a roadblock, Thomas can recommend another way to help you get what you want.

Consulting

Additionally, you can rely on the expertise of Thomas J. Hoff for personal consulting to navigate the complexities of county rules and processes. He knows how to find out what the county will allow and figures out a way to cut through the bureaucracy for tricky situations.
