I inquired about a vacant lot in Arrowhead Lakes.
This is a wonderful community and I am interested in building a new home for when I retire. .The listing agent agreed to meet with me to see the lot, but has since told me that a building moratorium was enacted in Arrowhead Lakes last week. I am told that permits are on hold for at least a year.
May I ask if someone could elaborate on the reason for this moratorium? I was told that a property owner who took shortcuts in the permit process is responsible. In our ongoing conversation the agent said the permits will take “at least a year, if ever”. Is it possible the moratorium will last for more than a year? Is there any chance the moratorium could go on indefinitely- or was this an excited utterance from the realtor? What about the property owners who need to sell their property now? Should I forget the whole idea?
Since the community is bisected by two Monroe County townships, does the moratorium cover both townships?
Thanks for the expertise.
I spoke to the Administrative Office at Arrowhead Lake and confirmed that there is a permit issue with the sewer plant. They are currently working with the DEP on this but it could conceivably take a year to get things in order. Any building already started can finish but there will be no new sewer hook-ups approved until further notice.
Properties requiring their own on-site septic systems can still be built on.
This is definitely something to investigate and I would verify with the community what the story is. Most moratoriums I have heard of have to do with the sewer system needing expansion. But I don't know for sure in this case. If I find anything out I'll let you know.
