Approved!!!

I presented the latest house plans to the Design Review Board yesterday. I was a bit nervous about our chances of approval even though I have had many discussions offline with members of the board. Sitting in the room waiting my turn I got even more nervous. The first project that went before the board on Tuesday was basically told to start from scratch. The second guy was there for at least his 3rd attempt to get a duplex approved. Rejected again until they could get a better parking solution.
My turn came up and I had to explain my project. I stumbled through a quick overview, not sure which details were important to them. They asked a lot of questions and I answered a few of the. Luckily some of the people on the board were able to answer some of the questions for me just be looking at their copies of the plans. The only changes that they require to the design are on the windows for the North side of the house - a larger window in the front upstairs bedroom and one more small window near the base of the stairs. Could have been worse. They approved with conditions so we are ready to actually get started for real.
