-  * Can we connect with a "breezeway", or what do you require for it to be classified as an "addition".  
-  * Is there a website to see approximate costs of permits for different project classifications. 
   * We have a 15' setback from the street. Can we put a covered porch in that area? Where does that 15' setback start? Is it foundation, is it the roof overhang, is etc etc etc?   * We have a 15' setback from the street. Can we put a covered porch in that area? Where does that 15' setback start? Is it foundation, is it the roof overhang, is etc etc etc?
-  * Can we pull our foundation back to avoid the roots of the oak tree, then cantilever over so our house doesn't have a weird squiggle? 
-  * Does the old house need it's own electrical service? Water service? Plumbing exit service? Is that included in the buiilding permit estimate from the estimate tool.  
   * Do we need a front door?    * Do we need a front door?

 +====Old Questions, answered====
 +
 +  * We CAN connect an expansion through a breezeway.
 +  * Fire setback counts every little extension. roofline, awning, deck, etc. 
 +  * We CAN pull our foundation back and cantilever over it to avoid the tree zone, but the cantilever requires engineering checks. Which is money.
 +  * We do NOT require separate water/power/sewer unless it is two buildings. What makes it two buildings? two ranges with a door inbetween. 
 +  * Site survey just needs to be accurate, doesn't need certified people to stamp it. 
 +  * Don't need engineered drawings if we follow their seismic stuff.
