In most cases when home owners or builders want to improve the property structurally, such as:
- constructing a new building
- making a home addition
- proposing a new concrete drive/parking lot
- installing in ground pool
- major landscaping design with grading
the county building department will require to have a construction siteplan of what you plan on doing.
Construction siteplans in Atlanta especially in Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb counties must show following items:
- boundary of the property with bearing and distances
- all the existing locations on the land parcel (buildings, driveways, decks, patios, etc)
- topography (xisting elevation contours and proposed contours, how much dirt will be removed and how much to be brought)
- trees including the diameter dimensions and species (hardwood or pine trees)
- utilities (sewer, water, gas, electricity, water wells if apply)
- easements (drainage, sewer, power and others)
- zoning (with building setbacks and other restriction per zoning category)
- proposed elements (new building, additions, etc)
- lot acreage and lot coverage (including impervious area and % ratio)
