Thanks for the reply rainyjim!
Yeah I've spent a fair bit of time in Nanawale (prob about a year total over the past 3 years if you added it all up) and I've seen all the sketchy buildings around there. I see why they are opposed to it and why their CRC's have specific rules about what you can and can't do. Reading their monthly minutes, they seem to take it pretty seriously too (even though it doesn't look that way driving around...)
My plan right now is to build a small shed on the land when I have enough cash on hand to do it. The CRC's allow you to have an un-permitted shed which you can use to live and for storage while you are building your main house for up to a year. I won't be building a main house for years, but I'll have the shed for storage of building materials and hopefully I'll be able to crash there whenever I'm on the island as well, which won't be very often. It's stretching their rules a bit, but I feel like I can probably get away with it.
But the county regulations say you can have up to a 120sq ft shed without a permit in a residential zone, but up to 600sq ft in an agricultural zone. I think I'd like to do something between 120 and 200sq ft... so if I can get away with that based on the land showing up as agricultural, that'd be awesome. The lot is obviously not agricultural though, it's only 9000sq ft. Do you think that will be a problem?
Thanks!
