For the last three months I have been submitting appeals to the city of portland to allow me to build a small house without improving the road in front of my property. They were requiring the whole nine yards (paving, curbs, planting swales, storm sewer, all utilities upgraded (water and sewer already there), sidewalks, taking out 20+ huge trees, Systems Development Charges, etc)
After weeks of requesting a decision, getting no response, last night I finally got an email detailing their decision. I was approved. I can keep it a gravel road and don't need to spend +100k (that I don't have) on a road. I can build my house. I bought the property thinking I had to build a road. I can't believe it. I screamed at the top of my lungs in my office yesterday when I saw the verdict, luckily no one was there.
