DAK AVATAR breaks ground

[NoChesterHester]

Does anybody know if pervious pavement systems are considered "pavement" for water management purposes? If so, then perhaps they intend to replace standard concrete sidewalks with pervious concrete (or something similar) to the extent required to have a net drainage effect of zero?

Depends on the jurisdiction. If you can prove the pervious nature of a material it should not count against your ISR.

I think there were 5 shovels. FYI. @sshindel would know more. He is heading up the project.

James Cameron had actually asked for 10 shovels, but we crunched the numbers and could only afford to offer him 5.

That's some solid value engineering. I assume the funds were re-directed into the Yatch upkeep accounts?

Mr. Iger's yatch has a fantastic new walk-in humidor and a new storage facility to keep his hand-made baby-seal clubs safe.

It appears that the South Florida Water Management District permit for the Avatar project has finally shown up. Unfortunately it's very light on details and currently doesn't contain a plan for what is going to be built.

This permit has received approval as of today.

Good catch. They've cut back our spellcheck abilities here at the Avatar project to funnel the funds into Mr. Iger's cryogenic freezing fund, where he is trying to ensure his legacy by freezing himself to be revived at the same time Walt is, so that he can be there to receive Walt's highest praises for magnificent foresight in creating James Cameron Presents the World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom(TM).

I personally wouldn't want them to buy LOTR. I don't want to see the injustice they would do to it.

If LOTR were a hotel, then Disney would be interested. They are after all a hotel and timeshare company....
