A hand drawn site plan is sometimes acceptable!

I looked up where and how I need to make my application to the town and will submit this application this week, including several copies of this hand drawn site plan. It also requires a conversation with the local building commissioner which is happening this week. Sometimes the authority having jurisdiction is friendly and supportive, sometimes they are not. Being a woman and a sort of outsider (born and raised here but a transplant from California), I hope I have done all my homework in case I get the unsupportive treatment! I plan to act as owner-builder on this project which just means I pull the permit and I am responsible to hire the trades to complete this project. The next step—the special permit—will make or break this project.
