The Belly of the Beast

If you go back to my original post on this blog, I state that we will be adding a garage.  I have not given any updates on this because it is a fairly complicated situation.

Sparing you the nitty-gritty details, I am going to do my best to explain where we are in the process.

 

The first step was to get an architect to design the space.  Below are the plans that were produced.

Once the plans were set, we submitted them to the city to get the permits.  This was back on January 9th of this year.  After two months, we got the approval from the city with a few stipulations.  One of the stipulations is that the house is to pass an “Environmental Review.”  Basically, the property is put through this review to ensure that is does not have any historical significance.

So, Alec is going to spend the entire weekend in the SF main library to pull out every record of every person who has lived, work, or had anything to do with our house.

Once we have this info, we will submit it to the city, and hopefully within another month we can have the permits in hand.
