Checklist For Building Site

[klikster]

I'm making a checklist for potential building sites and hoped some of you folks might comment .. constructively .. or suggest what I may have overlooked. So far I have:

Chanode

Access

Flooding

Pollution (nearby)

Traffic

Neighbors

Noise

Utilities

Security

Buildability (this probably should be broken down further)

I'd add in:

views

drainage patterns

soil type (bearing capacity)

line-of-site for things like cell towers, UBC, etc.

shade from terrain or adjacent buildings

and what types of vehicles can access-- motorbike, car, pickup, or big truck

cost

taxes

who is likely to become your neighbor in the future (related topic zoning....will it be a slaughterhouse or pig farm?...or garbage dump?...or disco?)....

....and how close to your house will they be able to build?
