Good Morning
hope you've had a great 4th of july week
The land at 448 Addison Ave Twin Falls ID is partially fenced. I've got
some estimates for fencing the land. Would the city let me fence the
land? What is the procedure for it? A permit is only required if the
fence is over 7’ tall. Here is a link to our fence brochure for
requirements.
1
I've got some estimates for building a foundation on the land. The
name of the LLC company I got a quote with is not on the list of
contractors. Would that be a problem? The contractor would need to
registered with the state of Idaho. Our list doesn’t show everyone that
is registered through the State. There is a website through the state
that you can lookup your
contractor. https://edopl.idaho.gov/OnlineServices/_/#1
Can I get a permit specifically to build a foundation on the land? And
then for the next steps, can I get a permit for each step separately? As
2
we explained previously, you can build the home in phases. As long
as there is activity every 180 days, your permit will stay active. We will
not issue a foundation permit without knowing what is going to be
built on top of it. I’d suggest submitting the whole set of plans and
then building each part when you are ready. Also, the building official
is authorized to grant 1 or more extensions not exceeding 180 days
each for justifiable cause.
Sincerely, Behn

Good Afternoon
I am gathering data about the costs of each step to build
I will not be able to complete a building this year due to not having
enough money to finish it. so, I won't start it or if I have a choice to get
a permit for each stage of the project (for example, permit only to
build a foundation, permit only to connect the sewer, and so on, I
would do it that way.
3
I was on the phone with an Idaho Power technician; he will observe
the land and surrounding this Thursday morning to give me an
estimate of connecting power to this location.
In regard to Idaho Power and connecting service, if I could afford the
cost, My plan is to connect the power and install the meter and
disconnect it. I make it ready as part of the project of building on it.
Is there anything that I must do in this regard with the city?
Sincerely, Behn

Hi Ben,
To answer your question from yesterday, normally the foundation comes first so that you know where you need
to run the sewer to. You may want to plan ahead with your foundation contractor to make sure that they provide
a sleeve to go through the footing or foundation or whether they will dig below the footing. I am not sure where
the sewer line is located, but Will told me yesterday that he would reach out to you with that information.

Good evening
To whom it may concern
Would you please help me with making the address 448 Addison
Ave. a valid address so the post office delivers to this address?
Sincerely, Behn

You can apply for an address through your local government
office. The process varies depending on whether the land is
within city limits or outside them.
Inside city limits: Contact the city government (building and
zoning department, geographic information systems
department, etc.) to assign an official address.
Outside city limits: Similar departments within the county
recorder’s or assessor’s office handle address assignments.
Having an address is essential for utility services, directing
visitors, and emergency response.

Good Afternoon
Hope you've all had a great summer so far
I am gathering data to build a foundation on the land at 448 Addison
Ave.
Should the sewer line come first or foundation comes first?
Is the city sewer line on Addison St or on the alley?
Please let me know
Sincerely, Behn

The landowner has accepted my offer. The offer is contingent
upon obtaining the variance from the City of Twin Falls to build
a building and approval of the bid for the building.
There is a phrase in the agreement that says "The buyer chooses
to conduct inspections". In regard to the inspection step, in
association with the city records, do you see any legal problem or
restriction or potentially costly obligation other than the setbacks
that you discussed with me in our valuable meetings so far?
Based on my amateur in-person measurements on the property
and the setback criteria I got from the City, if I understood it right,
there might be two possibilities of building roughly about 250 sq ft
and/or 750 sq ft on this land.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
If these numbers was about right, do you think I would be a good
candidate to apply for a variance and get approved?
If the answer was a probably no, I wont waste my time and energy
and yours and instead, I would focus on paying for land in full as
soon as I can and finding the most reasonable scenarios for me to
build on it.
So, I appreciate some hint or feedback in this regard in the meeting
tomorrow. Effective communication matters.
Please provide me with the steps that I should
take to build on this land.
18
Please provide me with the relevant keywords and
key ideas. Please don't assume that I know,
because I probably don't know.
What should I do very first? Then what should I do?
Then when should I do? Then what should I do?
Then what should I do? Until I complete building
on this land while I am in compliance with the
City.
I go find the more details and costs of each steps.
I have talked to a few concrete and asphalt paving companies.
19
I have talked to a few engineering companies in regard to surveying
and planning.
I have talked to a few tiny home builders regarding putting a tiny
home on the land. The last word from the city was a building
permit is required in any cases and it must be built or located on
a foundation. Is that correct? Is there any way around it? Any
tweak that can lower the costs? Any scenario of building that does
not need foundation? and/or does not need building permit?
Please help me think and act procedural and
provide me with the steps
20
The following are the scenarios I consider in case of unreasonably
and unaffordably high cost of building a commercial on the land.
Would City let me put a shed like this on the land and use it as a
residence or temporary residence?
21
I have a short video clip of something similar with only a few
thousand dollar cost.
22
Would city let me put a trailer like this on the land and use it as a
residence or temporary residence?
23
Could this setup be a possibility for the land at 448 Addison Ave
24
25
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow and get your valuable
information, guidance, and advise at 02:00 PM
Objectives of the Meeting:
1) Is there any costly problem or restriction or obligation that
city didn't tell me yet about in regard to this land that I should be
aware of before buying the land? I am planning to buy this land in a
few days.
26
2) In summary, Should I apply for a variance? If it is probably a no,
I wouldn't apply. Instead, I look into what cost-wise correct things
can be done while meeting the city requirement instead.
3) The Steps to build from beginning to the end. (Something like a
flowchart that I can picture the whole thing with the timing and
costs before I step into it)
4) The acceptability or not-acceptability of alternative or
temporary building to use the land as a residence.
Sincerely, Behn

To build with variance or without. Ben wants to know what would be the steps to build on this
land. From A to Z. With or without applying for a variance. Ben has done some measurements and
has two sizes for the possible building. One with residential and one with commercial. His concern
is to get the job done at the lowest possible cost. To stay in compliance with all city
requirements. He is in the process of inspecting the land before he buys. He wants to make sure
there is no additional standards. Ben wants to make sure there are no obligations that have not
been discussed.
