Got a call from my excavator today. The engineers staked my lot and determined the elevation. The 100 year flood level is 378' above sea level and the law requires you build 2' above that at 380". My building site is 382.5' - 383'. Back in 1937 the Ohio flooded, cresting at 383'. The downtown had 2' of water in the streets. By the time they do a little grading and sloping and level the pad it will be about 383.5' with 4" of concrete slab poured on top of that. Won't even need to bring any dirt in, just gravel for the road and parking lot. If we ever get flooded a whole lot of other people will be in a world of hurt long before we are.
Looks like I might have gotten a little break, this phase might come in under budget. The excavator is going on a vacation cruise next week but he said he will be ready to start the week after that. Looks like an April groundbreaking.
