As Lead Professionals, Herrick & Salsbury, Inc., will work with clients to navigate the regulatory process of permitting a project from constructing a driveway, road, or retaining wall, building a home, or developing a commercial site or a subdivision of land.
Herrick & Salsbury, Inc., employees three licensed Land Surveyors and Stephen R. Salsbury is a State of Maine certified Code Enforcement Officer. Our team demonstrates an understanding of the complexities of land use regulations to take you from initial survey to permit approval.
Developing an application for regulatory approvals on a project can take weeks or months, depending on the scope of development. With our experience, Herrick & Salsbury, Inc., can assess the level of permitting needed for any given project, develop a list of needed permits, and estimate a timeline for completion of the permitting process.
Examples of those issues that need to be considered during a permitting process are:
- Local Zoning
- Shoreland Zoning
- Setbacks
- Density of Development
- Access to Utilities
- Existing Soil Conditions
- Access to a Curb Cut or a Highway Entrance Permit
- Essential Wildlife Habitat
- Flood Plains
- Storm Water Management
- Wetlands
- Total Amount of Disturbed Area
- Total Amount of Impervious Area
- Impact on Historic Sites
- Subdivision Law
- Site Location Law
Each of these issues could be within the jurisdiction of local, state, or federal regulatory agencies.
