\\nSteve Tuma: Generally things that are common is there might be easements power easements you know you your utility company may have a power line underground or above ground where they have a right to go in there within a certain distance and maintain the lines now you would still own it but you can’t generally put build your house underneath you know right next to a power pole.

\\nInterviewer: Hello everybody and thank you for joining us for episode 49 of the panelized Prefab kit home building show with me in studio is the president and founder of Landmark Home and Land Company a Company which has been helping people build their new homes where they want exactly as they want nationwide and around the globe since 1993. Mr. Steve Tuma Steve. How you doing pal?

\\nSteve Tuma: Hey life is good. We’ve got some interesting topics today I was looking at this a little different though maybe a little bit farther out than normal were items that maybe people don’t alwaysthink about.

\\nInterviewer: Yeah, I actually gave you a little time to let you see what I was going to actually ramble on about today instead of surprising you. So like bam, let’s throw him a curve ball. Hopefully, it makes a little bit of a difference. So today we’re going to have Steve explain some of the ups and downs, difficulties, issues, maybe some of the challenges associated with building site restrictions, something that every owner-builder has to contend with at some point in the scope of their project, and yet just another aspect of building that landmark home and land companies become expert in dealing with over the years.

It’s zoning and sometimes it could be title restriction. So I don’t want to make get to get too complicated But with the the basic situation that we run into is some areas don’t have restrictions and some areas are very restrictive whatever the situation is for your land we can work through it to help someone understand what they are generally things that are common is there might be easements power easements you know you your utility company may have a power line underground or above grou...'
