BUILDING YOUR HOME Building your home: a path already traveled Nearly every lot in Happy Trails shares one natural feature: its ground is forested wetland. It isn't an obstacle — it's the character of the place, and a process the neighbors who live here today have already gone through. In fact, on this lot the groundwork is already done: there is a professional wetland delineation ?Verde Environmental, 2022? and a topographic survey with elevations by Skytech-Geo. The path to build is defined and well known: ?1? wetland assessment — already done; ?2? the home pre-design; ?3? the FDEP permit ?ERP ? Environmental Resource Permit, plus the State 404 authorization) and the county permit; ?4? mitigation via credits. A single-family home is a recognized “reasonable use?; since the lot is forested wetland, the unavoidable impact for that home is permitted by minimizing it and keeping it proportional to the neighboring houses. How much can you build? There's no rigid cap. Small footprints (up to ?0.5 acre) fit a general permit; larger footprints go to an individual permit, with no fixed acre limit, under avoid ? minimize ? mitigate. FDEP sets the exact figure from the pre-design — which is why the architectural concept above is, beyond inspiration, a working part of the process.
