Residential Land Development Reference
Residential Land Development Reference
(OP)
My firm does alot of residential and commercial land development, particularly in the form of condominiums and subdvisions. I have worked on these projects but lack the background with respect to the overall process (i.e. permitting, approval process, design considerations, etc.) I am looking for advice on a textbook or reference that will assist me in understanding the entire process from land purchase to approvals at all levels to plat recording to developer's agreements, etc...Any help would be appreciated.

I have been involved in this process for years, and have come to know that every development authority is different with it's approach to agreements, land use, development planning, etc. You may be well advised to hire a professional planner or contract a firm which can provide the assistance you need. Prefereably an individual with planty of experience.

Learning the process by the book is tough! If you don't want to hire a Planner and an Engineer who is experienced with the process, perhaps you could network at the local chapter meetings of ASCE, APWA, APA or other professional organizations. There are usually people who are willing to share their project experiences.
Also, try to attend some City Council/Planning Commission Meetings. This is where the decisions and the appeals take place. Good Luck!
