True.

And they've started doing site work???? I didn't notice anything going on back there from Toontown or FL last week. They must be working quietly.

And if so, must not need a permit to do earthwork in Orange County.

I don't know if any work was done, or whether it's just what the land has looked like since it was filled in, but I got a view that I had never gotten while leaving work on the cast bus one day, and there were a few small bulldozers there, and the land looked like it had be flattened out.

Very nice. If it's like here in Indy, you can move all the dirt you want without having a permit - you just can't make any improvements.

Have you noticed if the new construction trailers have gone up behind 20K or back by the firehouse? That permit was filed a while back and I never heard if anything came of it.

No, but I noticed that some of the buildings that are behind 20K being taken down, possibly in preparation for the trailers.

Very exciting!

Ahhhh, the benefits of the RCID. All of those construction permitting processes are vastly sped up, and they don't have to post them for the public to see, if they don't want to.

The "permits" listed in the Permits thread aren't truly building permits, but rather Notices of Commencement, which I have come to understand as being improvements or changes to already-existing property and structures that could potentially alter the value of said property. These filings are required by state law, and are separate from building permits.
Because a good chunk of the Expansion is new construction, we may not see many filings on the Comptroller's website until they get to the point where they're tearing down existing things like the Ariel M&G, Playful Spot, etc.

I've been meaning to look up the law/rules on filing for Not Comm and Permits in FL, but haven't gotten around to it.

We don't have Notices of Commencement here. If we want to do any work, new or remodel, we get the drawings approved by the state, then go apply for and get a local building permit. Until then, nada.

By having their RCID forcefield, you're probably right that we won't see much news on FL.

Goofy- or anyone else who may know- are they really shooting for an '11 opening? October '11?
