Pasetti Home Update

We finally hold the letter of approval from the HOA in our hands! Dealing with the developer of our subdivision who, unfortunately, is also still the HOA has been nothing short of a nightmare. Chris and I have a few nicknames for him. After submitting our packet with all color samples of the house, gutters, soffit, fascia, windows, garage doors, door stains, stone, garage lights, outdoor light post, and a landscaping plan we were DENIED approval. Due to the fact that we have a look out basement it was deemed necessary to have an exact grading plan from the foundation to the lot line. He also did not like the pitch of the roof over our garage. He claimed the village of Pleasant Prairie wants a 6/12 roof line. After Chris pinned him down and pointed out it wasn't in the covenance for the subdivision, he called the village. We learned we'd caught the developer in yet another lie! Again, Chris called him out on it and told him we were meeting code and the requests of the subdivision. His emailed response said a home has never been built to his knowledge with a 4/12 roof line so we needed to make it happen. After talking to our builder and learning that they could create a plan that way to appease him but it wasn't structurally possible for our house we contacted the village again. We will be able to put in paperwork to change the roof pitch back to the original plan once we start construction. (A drive thru of the subdivision also revealed that there are homes without the 6/12 roofline!) We submitted for permits on Tuesday and should have them in 10-14 business days. Needless to say, we are BEYOND thrilled to be done with the developer of our subdivision and are looking forward to having the HOA turned over to the people of the subdivision. We should be breaking ground before the end of the month!
