no records of previous approved plans (what are the odds that there were no records of the cesspools on both our actually "fully permitted" residence
I bought a lot with an approved, permitted cesspool. The owners never built a house & the property was vacant for 15 years. I needed to bring in a dozer, but wanted to avoid the cesspool. I contacted the County who claimed there were no records in their file for my lot concerning a cesspool.
The dozer ripped off the concrete cover leaving a deep hole exposed.
A few years later, when I had another question about the lot I called the same department, and mentioned I knew there was no record of the cesspool, when the employee stopped me and said, “what do you mean, we have all the permit information right here, as well as a map of its location.”
I wish he had answered the phone the first time I called.
