For the townhouses I mentioned, we put the SDCs on one of the fives permits for each lot, but they were charged at the higher rate (not the usual SFD rate) because they only installed a single larger city meter and the landlord will be billing each unit themselves. It was the easiest way to put it in Accela. Twenty permits across four lots, four with SDC fees.

And we only are giving out temporary COs until all four buildings are complete so we can verify that all planning and public works conditions for the whole project have been met before we issue the final COs. They proved they can safely have tenants move in during the remainder of the construction; helps offset the building costs.

I would do that too.  Each structure is a separate permit, but I like the idea of using the Master Plan as a way to save money.  Is it a replacement cottage cluster or a new one?  How are you assessing System Development Charges?  Like an apartment building?

Haven't done any yet, but we have some on our horizon. They're through land use and still at the state finishing some with wetlands stuff. I was planning on just using a DWL permit for each one and using the normal new house permit process. They'll likely come in at the same time and be reviewed in conjunction. I haven't decided yet, waiting on final site plan, how to address them. Whether each should have its own address or whether the caretaker's address will be the main number and then assign letters to each cottage. They'll also be on the same lot.

We just had a series of twenty townhouses built on four lots and I used the same process. They were individual units each capable of receiving their CO when completed (they didn't until each building was done) and each had their own address number. If the owner every switches from renting to selling, we'll probably make him divide the lots. But right now I have four parcels with five addresses each and twenty DWL permits in ePermitting.
