well, i think i got this all worked out.
i found an enginner, and will get the plans back into the city. i hope to get this damn prject moving pretty quickl.
boy, those engineers like to overbuild things
so much for type V construction. it seems my material and framing costs have now doubled.
at least i can be confident that this will never fall down. hell, it wont even wiggle
more damn hold downs and type 15 shear panel than you can shake a stick at.
he says that he is unsure how much or where the existing shear panel is so he's designing the new area to carry the entire house
either way, i sure hope the prick at the city hall will take these and let me build this damn thing. iun out of patience.
wish me luck!

I went through the same thing in Whittier. All I can say is be patient. It took over a year from initial plan to approval, and even then the engineers kept screwing with the build. There was enough paper just in permits to clear a forest! Good luck, and unload all your weapons...
