Info. On Subdividing/Developing For Novice
Hi,
I am a real estate broker living in Charlotte, NC and am interested in getting into subdividing acreage for neighborhoods. I would like to find information on "How To" cut roads, create drainage, easements, utilities, etc. The goal is to find a source that can give me the "Big Picture" of how to get the job done and also has some specific information on each topic. Anyone know a good place to go to find this? ANY help I could get would be Greatly Appreciated!
Thanks So Much!

Nancy you forgot to add in your reply that we made up all the answers in that thread!!!
Anybody out there?
Is there perhaps a different forum I should post my question in???
Thanks for the reply Woodsong, I was hoping to hear from ya! There are no zoning issues with the property and the infrastructure work is limited to extending a temporary cul-de-sac through 250 ft from an existing, currently under construction development being done by a larger regional builder.
Apparently my piece was not for sale when he started subdivision on his in 2001. His project is much larger 180+ units sfr, he had to fight for a special amendment to the zoning to get the density etc. that he received finally this year. My property just came on the market early May, by a 90+ yr. old woman who has lived there for 50 years and has been attached to it.
Anyway, I currently am working on another project in the same Township, my 1st one, we are still going through approvals for over a year, but that one is more complicated of a job. I feel I have a pretty good handle on how the politics of this Township work so..... I guess time will tell!
By the way, can you explain how the mezzanine financing may work in this situation?
Thanks for your help!!!
The first thing you need to do is check the zoning to see what uses are permitted now. Once you determine the zoning, look at the Comp/Master Plan and then talk with the Zoning Officer about the property as to whether it might be considered non-conforming or any other relevant historical info.
