Development Solutions is a branch of LSI Companies, focused primarily on increasing the value and desirability of properties. We do this by obtaining entitlements and permitting, performing asset analysis, development and land management. Our team of highly qualified professionals provides valuable insight into the land selection process and gives clients access to information that is essential to making informed decisions quickly.
By utilizing internal resources, relationships with governmental agencies, outside consultants, and subcontracting firms, our team provides superior service in the following areas:
- Preliminary and In-Depth Feasibility
- Permit Review and Compliance
- Entitlement and Zoning Procurement
- Workout Projects
- Asset Management
- Site Inspection
A Feasibility Study is a detailed analysis of all entitlements, permits, restrictions, wetlands, utilities, and conditions existing on a property and how they relate to each other. Thereby, we can identify any impediments to the intended use of the property and understand the risks involved in procurement. This includes identifying any expenses related to owning the property.
The Entitlement and Permitting process is tailored to achieve maximum property value. Because the entitlements and permits are specific to each piece of property, the scope of work performed can range from preliminary planning to fully entitling and permitting properties. Our team will obtain proposals, create a detailed budget, and make a timeline schedule for project completion. Entitlement and permitting services include:
- Comprehensive Land Use Amendments
- Zoning
- Administrative Amendments
- Plats
- Army Corps of Engineer Permits
- Environmental Resource Permits
- Development Construction Plan Permits
The Development process includes the creation of detailed development budgets, contractor management, site progress inspections, and final certifications. Our team can develop a property into finished residential lots, a base development with spine road and developable pods, or a ready-to-build site.
Additionally, we coordinate site maintenance as needed for each property. By determining the condition of permits and expiration dates, our team ensures owner compliance and permit health. Our process safeguards against Code Compliance Violations, for instance. We also act as the point of contact for municipalities, agencies, and neighbors. Likewise, for agricultural properties, our team manages lease compliance, site inspections, maintenance, and fence installation. In fact, Development Solutions offers yearly agricultural classification filing for applicable properties. This provides savings on property taxes through special exemptions and can be significant in some cases.
