When you look at property w/wetlands,
do you know if it is buildable?

 

Have you ever looked at land with wetland on it
and wanted to know if it was buildable?

 

If the land is in Westchester or Putnam Counties in New York, the changes of it being buildable are very slim. Any STRUCTURE, DRIVEWAY, WELL or SEPTIC SYSTEM must maintain a minimum set back from the wet land of 100 feet and sometimes (DEC protected wet land) requires a 200 foot setback. If you don't have enough space beyond the setbacks,
the chanced are very slim it is buildable.

 

This along with steep slope laws in most towns can make even a 1-5 acre parcel un-buildable.
