LOL, that is also an option since I want to do the great loop after the houses are built
its essentially a 6 month to year-long loop that travels through the intercoastal waterways and inland routes that circumnavigates the eastern coast and eastern United States.
Ive actually been contemplating the viability of building my own cruiser for the trip

I assume that was your GFF edition of the fresh prince ,will smith karaoke ?
Now that I know these 4 lots will close I've been trying to figure out how to develop them. I know I am going to consolidate all 4 lots into one since it will be worth more as a large lot for the town with a 2 family setup thus it will show as one giant lot line rather than the 4 ive drawn in.
The lots are pretty steep, slopes run downhill to the west, I have a dead end street up top (to the east) and a city street at the bottom to the west. I have over 75 feet of elevation rise from street to street and the view is facing the NW.
I cannot access the street to the east so I will have to build the gate and pad in the NW corner of the property in order to meet the cities approach and gate pad codes. The driveway will have to gain elevation by a switchback of sorts then climbing past the shop/ADU to the house. I will build the structures as close to the east street since those setbacks are small and retaining walls after cutting grade will give some room.
I have an excavator on reserve for the next 2 weeks so I can swamp all the trees and slash that need to go before cutting the drive but will have to roll every 8" with a 12 ton. I figure about 40 yards of base rock will settle the road till final and asphalt goes in.
Sewer will be a chore since its under the city street and 40 feet down, but still better than pumping uphill. already have city permit for shutting down the road while I lay pipe, The water district wants 4 grand to install a meter that I can get off amazon for 400 bucks but that's the game they play.
Electrical is via pacific power so I know their routine well as I have done enough to know what they want from memory. 4 foot deep 4" bedded conduit/ locator tape with long sweeps and 500 amp wire pulled with a temp panel and meter, all they do is hookup the lugs for free.
Not sure on the solid dimensions for pads yet but will have an idea after a day of grading then can plan the structures and square footages
Nice work - 75ft is a lot of rise across the lot though, haha!

Will try and keep it all ground floor to make it easier on myself when building but I think I will be short on space even after a hefty cut and fill and I am trying to not get into retaining wall scenarios since they would have to be engineered and that would slow things down. I could use block but it is more than I want to spend since this whole project is just to get out of the rental and have something to flip. so I may go two story on the house to fit a 3 bed 2 bath.Nice work - 75ft is a lot of rise across the lot though, haha!

so a quick measure on maps shows it about 150' of run for that 75 feet of rise. That puts things at 50% slope and around 30 degrees so yeah its steep but it has some benches and topography to use.Nice work - 75ft is a lot of rise across the lot though, haha!

Yeah thats legit. Better keep lots of roots in that hillside!
So no access on top/east - only access is at the bottom/west?
The east is curbed with buried utilities and is essentially a 30’ straight drop and at best 20’ of flat so impossible to do a formal approach and gate. Doubt a mini cooper would make the turn and drop.
Do you have utilities at the bottom also?
Sounds like my section.
There are utilities on each side so I can choose what's easiest per utility
Here a vid I shot yesterday of the lots looking from the top down. Property line goes back past the retro travel trailer parked on the curb.
We call those folks "unhoused" around here.
It’s the mayors, lives on the other side of the street but has no room in the steep driveway so it gets parked on the curb.We call those folks "unhoused" around here.
Contacted spectrum and hopefully will get this utility box moved and the city was notified to move the road signage to make way for the driveway approach pad from the street.
The view up top is bad ass though eh?
Dig in up top and cantilever a master bedroom out over your lots.

Still a possibility but wont know till after I excavate and get some deets of pads
Considering I told them it will be driven over and filled with 13 feet of fill dirt in two weeks if they don't, I suspect they will come out, if not I have it recorded that it was requested and scheduled. who uses a landline anywaysI sure do admire your optimism!
Isn't Spectrum a cable/internet provider out there? Or are they the local phone company as well?
Just called them yesterday, should give them a week or two at least. Cant do anything till escrow closes anywaysFuck - knock it over and bury it right now and do Spectrum a favor.
Bandon is off limits as per my requirements, the tribe has a very lengthy and long drawn-out process for excavating permits and timelines. I know of 3 builders who are still stopped mid-project for over a year due to the tribe's political BS ploy for more money.

Its right off the 101 hwy, no views and in the most redneck meth area of north bandon, so much so that bandon dunes madea new entrance so peeps dont have to drive near there.
The properties I am buying are to develop and sell while I am waiting to finish the house on the hill
Exactly! The vacation golf bros are going to throw mad cash at the bachelor pad you'll build there.
well they can overpay for an acre next to the highway and they can do whatever golf bro dudes do, then when they come back to it in a year and realize its filled with transients cooking meth they can understand the dilemma
