Yep, basically a full package. Site plan, elevations, etc. Situation.
My original house permit drawing included the tractor/shed. My draftsman did not include the container portion - saying it was not required. Once my original permit was issued I started work - moved the 20 foot container onto its pad and concrete foundation blocks, built the roof over structure, pored some additional. When I had my foundation inspection, the inspector commented that I should have had the support pipes inspected also before pouring the concrete - too late, pipes were already encased in concrete 12' (min) diameter, 5 ft deep. Inspector made a comment to inspection report that they were installed without prior inspection. Apparently, not a show stopper as I had complied with the architectural plan. It was not until framing inspection, that issue was made of the container. Potential problem as the container is in place, under the roof, surrounded by concrete. I went back to draftsman for corrective active. I had to get this permitted as it was built, anything else could be a nightmare. So draftsman did a complete set of drawings - actually the original drawings with details of the container added in. Same architect also. Naturally, there was an additional charge. Back into County process (including Health even though no additional cesspool). A couple moths later, the county issued (for fee) another separate permit.
Once my solar installation is complete and I can clean the area up some, I intend to call for inspection. Not sure what to ask for, but it would appear that a single inspection should get me legal. Could be interesting.
