I have a client who owns all the undeveloped lots on an older residential subdivision about 15 minutes drive from New Orleans. Land has some floodplain issues and other issues on it, and he originally pulled me in to examine and potentially contest some FEMA reclassification of his land that was done as part of some Post Katrina work.
He mentioned to me today in email that some of his lots are wholly or partially "Pine Savanna," according to a delineation done by a previous potential buyer.
Roads and utilities are in, and have been for years, so infrastructure isn't an issue. What sort of ball of wax is a potential home builder into to build out one of these things? I'm guessing a nationwide 404 and buying some mitigation credits?
