Day 96 - Gas-line Issues

11am  - Just got a call from my FM and he said the city came and shut down the gas-line install yesterday.  Apparently there are some issues as to where the line is under the street and how they will go about hooking it up.  He has a call into the city to resolve.

8pm - After more discussion with my FM it seems we've got a few problems:

• The city shut down the gas-line install because they were going to cut into our brand new street.  The Westlake Director of Engineering doesn't want that to happen.  The city is supposed to send some drawings and collaborate with Columbia gas to get a new line installed properly.
• Westlake is also forcing us to put our storm laterals in now instead of before concrete.  My FM has reached out to our excavator to get this scheduled ASAP.
• Lastly the City of Westlake is telling us that we should put in a driveway now vs. later stating they will not give us our residency permit without a driveway.  The problem is that putting in a driveway now is risky since there will still be heavy trucks coming that could crack the concrete or potential for oil spills and other damage.  It's also not very likely that we'll be able to put a driveway during the middle of winter.  Typically they give a temporary residency permit in cases like this and force the driveway to go in once spring hits (April/May).  Sounds like I might need to make a call as a concerned resident.
