News Permits 2018

danlb_2000 · Jan 17, 2018

After some discussion with Steve, I have decided to step back into the role of “permit coordinator”, but we have also decided some changes are necessary.

The biggest part of this job was maintaining the thread that list all the permits that Disney files. Over the past year I have noticed I was seeing fewer permits that could clearly be identified as something interesting. I am not sure if this was intentional obfuscation by Disney or simply a change in the way these permits were getting written. The end result of this is that I was spending a lot of time documenting all the permits for little gain.

The plan going forward is that I will review the permits looking for ones that are clearly of interest and I will post these in the appropriate thread and also maintain a list here. There will be a lot fewer permits posted and it may take me a few days to get to them. I also have no plans to continue updating the project specific permit threads like the one for the DHS permits. With these changes I should be able to keep up with the permits without missing out on potentially interesting information.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few notes about the purpose of this thread...

Despite the name, this thread actually lists Notices of Commencement (NOCs) for construction projects around the WDW property. A NOC is a document that must be filed before work on a specific project can begin and is usually filed shortly before work starts. It's main purpose is to assure that contractors get paid on time once the work is complete. NOCs will sometimes have an explicit expiration date, but most of the time a date is not specified in which case they expire one year from the filing date.

The documents generally don't contain much information. They will list the location where the work is being done, for example the name of a ride or store. They also show a description of the work being done which is normally very vague, for example "Electrical" or "Construction". Some of the NOCs I post will just say "BVCC". This stands for Buena Vista Construction Company which is Disney's internal construction company. The work description on BVCC permits is almost always the very vague "Provide labor, material and/or electrical for construction".

The post will contain permits from the South Florida Water Management District. These are filed whenever a project will effect storm water control in some way, for example creating new hard surfaces like building or roads where there were not hard surfaces before. These permits are not as common but are normally for larger project and contain much more detail them the NOCs.

Glad to have you back in charge, Dan. Sounds like a very reasonable compromise, and I'm glad you and Steve worked out an arrangement.

Dave Z · Jan 18, 2018

Happy to have you back!

nickys · Jan 18, 2018

Great news, thanks Dan!

Bolt · Jan 18, 2018

For real though, if you started a GoFundMe for your labor, I'd donate.

P_Radden · Jan 19, 2018

Dan, good to have you back in the saddle. Thanks for the great and hard work you do!

Placeholder 7 has always been my favorite! Super “like” given!

(Of course this is an understatement because the actual project that will become the Project Formerly Known as Placeholder 7 will most likely be far more massive and incredibly more interesting than we could have possibly imagined!)

Permit for a new entertainment CM building back where Tony's is. I assume this is to support the new theater.
