It may be the kind of thing they don't usually do, but if they're on site with all the materials anyway they may be willing to do it at the same reduced rate they do the other work.Usually their proposals are about half the cost if you hired someone to do it separately, because they get state money.

If/when times get tough, like in 2008, and you can't repay, any good lawyer you hired to protect yourself will go after your lender for predatory lending, improper/unlicensed lending, and various loopholes in the bad paper you and your lender found off the internet (or stationary store -- Yikes!!).

More specifically, code section 16-18-070 seems to indicate that it may be possible to get this fee waived if the area meets the goals in the City Space Plan.There are many, many pages of reading material online about the plan, but we are trying to figure out how to tell if the goals for our area are being met.Property is pretty squarely between the actual parks of Wicker Park and Humboldt Park and close to the 606, so this may not be one of the areas of the city requiring additional green space.Basically, if there is a viable way (by meeting current criteria of the City Space Plan) we’d like to not pay the fee if we can supply the correct information.It is very challenging to decipher this and we get one shot at getting the fee waived.If it matters, we are taking an existing 2 flat and turning it into a 3 flat – allowed by area zoning and there are no changes to the footprint of the existing building.We still have more research to do but we couldn’t even find specific information on the progress of the plan’s goals and what areas meet the Open Space Requirements now.16-18-070 Individualized Assessment Of Impact.
