Lot clearing planning sheet

What is on the sheet

Flatwood Land Clearing Palm Bay made this sheet for owners of house lots and acreage around Palm Bay. Fill it in before the site visit and keep it with the permit papers.

• The lot: address or parcel, size, builder, building permit number and which jurisdiction issues the clearing permit.
• Permits and checks: the Palm Bay tree removal and clearing permit, the grubbing and site work permits, Brevard County's small-scale permit, and the gopher tortoise, scrub-jay, wetland and stormwater checks.
• Trees on the site sketch: a table for species, trunk diameter and keep or remove, with the city's replacement and root zone rules.
• Scope by area: what is cleared, what is grubbed and what happens to the stumps in the pad, driveway, septic area and yard.
• Debris plan and a quote comparison table, so two prices are compared on the same scope.
• After clearing: the earthwork, erosion control and planting that come next.

For a quicker answer on permits, the lot clearing checklist runs in the browser, and the cost calculator gives budgeting ranges. The guide to clearing a lot to build explains each step on the sheet.
