cspa questions about tree counting

hancoveguy · 10-21-2008, 09:56 AM

Just spoke with Don C (Moultonorough Building Insp.) told me that if the state (cspa) didn't require a permit for the first 150 ft the town didn't either. There is a tree in the way of the new park model and he told me I could remove it w/out permits from the town.

Also, I have been told that I did not need permits to swap out the actual living quarters only to build new structures on site. Anyone heard anything to the contrary?

thanks

In order to say whether or not a CSPA permit is needed I need to know 2 things:

1. Will the home have the same foot print as the old home?
2. Will the placement involve any excavation or filling as part of the site preparation?

Whether or not you need a CSPA permit I strongly recommend that you contact the DES Subsurface Systems Bureau to determine whether or not you need any approval from them. Their rules changed significantly in Feb of 2008 particularly regarding changes to pre-existing structures.

Slightly larger foot print and no excavation

Because there will be a slightly larger footprint you will need a CSPA permit.

THANK YOU,
Reviewing the permit checklist now. This is ridiculous... How complicated does this need to be? I was told by the town and everyone else I asked that a permit was not needed to swap out units. I have purchased a unit and it is being delivered in 20 days. This process will take me a month and then the permit takes 30 days to get approved... "I am up a wellknown tributary without a means of locomotion"...so to speak
