Morningside Renovation

Our Journey Through The Renovation Process Of Our Future "Forever Home" In Morningside (Atlanta,GA)


The Power of a Woman

Julie was able to get through to the proper person in the city’s Planning & Zoning department to find out the status of our permit and especially as to why it hasn’t been approved.  Seems that our GC forgot to show the zoning folks that the house will be converted from a duplex to a single family residence.  Who knows but they stated that they told him this on January 11th and have yet to receive the proper documentation.  Frustrating but probably just overlooked, part of the process we’re told.  Fortunately we know the reason and it’s all getting cleared up and we should have the permits pulled very, very soon.


Waiting on the City

Our GC sent us an email today to let us know that the Planning & Zoning Department was still going over the plans and that he received a call today from the Site Development Department to clarify one part.  He says that we’re close to the plans being approved and we can’t wait.  We were informed that it would take 4-6 weeks for approval and we’re only at week 3 (submitted on 12/28/2011) so we’ll just continue to try to have patience while we wait on the city.  Plenty to do in the meantime however we can’t wait for hammers to start swinging.
