Last Friday we were told by our surveyor that the survey that they did in 2013 did not have the correct lake side property line. If we proceeded with building the house where it was shown on the site plan, we would be encroaching on crown land. The only quick solution is to move the house back on the property. However, this means that there will not be sufficient room for the garage. Given the choice between stopping everything and redesigning (including being in breach of our contract with our builder) or going ahead with a very compromised redevelopment, we have decided to proceed with having our structural engineer move the house on the site plan so that it will not be encroaching on crown land according to the new property boundary definition.

The irony is that today we were granted our RDOS building permit. We should be celebrating, but due to this latest glitch, the celebration is postponed once again!

To prepare for starting to build, we went up to the property and installed the orange safety fence.
