I have been working with them since late May. In passing Patrick + Shanya and I were discussing the large easement for the PUE on the backside of my property at 10'. I was stating I wish I could go to the larger studio but the easement was pushing my Pre Approved Central Coast ADU to the smallest studio unit. The two had said maybe I should look into a vacation of the PUE since on my street the utilities were in the front ROW. With the help of Patrick he sent me contact information of the PUE individuals who could release the rights of the easement. I received all except from ATT. The women had retired and we found a new contact. This contact at first was reluctant to release the easement, then with some help with your planning team we were able to get 5' of the 10' easement released. 5' easement was the minimum we needed to plan for the standard studio. Once the easement letters were in Patrick connected me with Natalie and John. Both working with me and my surveyor to get the updated legal description of the lot in which to present today. Seriously a lot of moving parts but I felt supported and coached the whole way through with your team. This may be just 5' feet but for people who need housing in this area going from a 316sq to 445sq allows for couples, grandparents or a parent with a hide-bed for children to stay comfortably in a studio. Thank you very much we look forward to the 2022 code set Pre Approved Central Coast ADU _ standard studio as soon as they are released - shout out to the enormous coordination by Andrew and the building department within the last two months trying to get stamped out before the winter storms come. On another note of thank you: 1. Your team all had posted link for the CALHFA grant back in OCT 2022 I had applied and received the grant funding 40K for this project - thank you for posting 2. It was also your teams proactiveness on the grant for the drawings that saved us at a minimum 14K in AEOR drawings. For that I thank you 3. With those plans they are Green California - which submitted to PGE with their ADU project incentives with California Energy-Smart Homes potentially 6K-8K incentives - for that I thank you Warm regards, Michelle Chariton + Jami Fordyce.
