Getting more lots out of a parcel with wetlands: Having your cake and eating it too. Waltham MA Black Diamond this Tues 2/24

[Ann Bellamy]

Minimizing Environmental Impact and Maximizing Real Estate Value:At the same time!

Have you passed on a small subdivision because of wetlands? It was a nice parcel with easy subdivision potential, but the wetlands smack in the middle meant you could only get one lot instead of the 4 you were hoping for. What if you could find a way to make it work?

Scott Goddard is a professional wetland scientist and specializes in creative solutions to land use issues. He is also a developer in his own right, and has successfully taken parcels from a no-build or minimal use to a multiple lot approval.

You will hear:

• How to identify the issue
• Why local regulations can be more restrictive than federal or state requirements
• When you can get two opposing opinions and sets of advice on the same subdivision
• Approaches that maximize land area for use
• How long the process can take
• Why your risk tolerance plays into the game
• When to call in the cavalry

Scott will cover some case studies where he successfully increased the value of land, and answer your questions about the steps you need to take.
