  1. I have sold hundreds of cars on ebay, made a living exclusively for 2 years doing it. If the person is willing to give you cash prior to the end of the auction and there is no bids bids and thats ok with you I would do it. But I would not close the auction until you have money in hand. The others are right, the bids really heat up in the last couple hours of the auction. Also see if he will give you his ebay user name, if so go to ebay and do a search of that user name. If he as more than 25 positive feed backs that would make fell secure. If the person shows up and tries to beat you down on price, I would send him home empty handed and wait for the auction to end. The reason you are not getting bids is you set the starting price at a " For Sale " price and not a auction price. Next time set the reserve for what you need and set the starting price at a third of that.

    Thats sorta what I was thinking as well. The inside or "Flashy" stuff can be done by the home owner. I think some hardwood and tiles floors would be required but the rest would be on the buyers. Another builder in Atlanta uses this principal and does very well.

  3. I am putting this thought out there, becuase I am wanting to try my hand at building in the future. My idea is that if I can offer 1800-2500sqft homes that are all brick for just a little more than similar homes being sold, I would make a little less per home but would sell more homes. Would all brick be a selling feature for you. Any feed back would be appreciated.

  4. This subject reminded me of something my pastor said in a sermon a few weeks ago. He said the only three things he knew about plumbers was that water flows down hill, they get paid on fridays ,and you don't bite your finger nails. :) We all laughed at the last part.

  5. Why should he bother?  You won't accept it. You totally ignore every answer that did not fit in your narrow view of how you think things should be.

     

    Quit wasting your time here and go get your advice from a lawyer you trust.

     

     

    I must agree, in the first PRD thread I covered the issue of lot cost and it did not make a difference.

    " Bubba - These R2 ;homes on Mustang Drive with the perk tests, what size lots do you envision

    Whitey - your post to Mr. Chairman = you make some good points and ask some good questions.

    Bubba - You said OSRD was great if it required a little less greenspace. How much money in the long run would you loose if you gave 40% greenspace? Left some trees? Isn't our long term future worth 40% greenspace? A little creative tractor work could do this, save some trees, give some buffer and save our future air. If you did this how much money in the long run would you suffer from? "

     

     

    The lots on Mustang should be on sewer, no perk needed. A minimum of 15,000 sqft. If St Charles buys the lots as exspected, phase I of that community will remain septic. But we hope refile for PRD on the balance a year from now.

     

    The propblem with having 40% green space is that with the cost of land you not could afford to leave that much space. The OSRD favors owners that have a large amount of flood plain or unbuildable land that could be used for greenspace.

  7. "At the moment our plans are to develop Mustang Dr. as R-2 with sewer but, build it with PRD specs with hopes of refiling the front portion of the proprty next year. The builders of St Charles have submiited an offer for these lots and we have verbally agreed to sell to them. They would tie there current commuinty to the property and probally rename it St Charles.  This obviously is contingent on the above sewer option working out."

     

    Does this mean that the development will get another vote with a different developer?  The St Charles is an R2 with septic right now - I guess they will go for the sewer tie in with the new homes - right?

     

     

    No we will not get another vote, the law says we have to wait a year to refile for PRD. We will start with the back part of the property first, keeping 50 acres aside for possible PRD a year from now. They will not tie the sewer to the first phase of St Charles. But I am despertly triyng to figure out how to get my house on, since I live in St. Charles

    The Lakes of Davis Mill was tabled by us so that we could work out the other sewer option which is to pump it to the city of Dallas. The route is along public roads and will not effect private property. The aggreement we have reached will allow the county to collect there normal tap fee of $3000.00 per home. The city of Dallas will then be paid there tap fee of $750.00(I believe)per home, and we will then escrow any short fall to the county tap fees prior to development. Then when the county has a sewer line in place the City of Dallas will release it back to the county. The City of Dallas voted and approved the plan Monday night. We meet with the water and sewer board on the May 17th for there vote, if it passes then it will go in front of the BOC. I think in the future if the county wanted to put a sewer line down Mill Creek, they would not get much resistance. I spoke with 29 owners and all but 5 were willing to grant easements. A couple wanted to know where to start digging.

    The public meeting is still on tract for May 14 at 7:00 pm at the Bleakley Farm on Mustang. Mr Chairman and Mr Raggsdale we invite you as well. Signs will go up Monday.

     

    I did review the new OSRD zoning, I think its great. It would make the perfect PRD zoning if it required a little less greenspace. OSRD requires 40% greenspace.
