Post-Hurricane Irma Fee Waiver For Marco Island Building Permits Extended

By

Marco Island City Council voted to extend the building permit fee waiver for families affected by Hurricane Irma. The council made their decision last month. The ability to waive the building permit fee lasts until September 10, 2018. Of course, this doesn’t mean that Marco Island won’t be charging for any building permits. This is specifically for homeowners affected by Hurricane Irma. There are certain conditions that must be met.

The waiver for the building permit fee applies to single-family homes only. The fee is only waived for certain building permits too. For example, the fee waiver applies to permits for re-roofing, fencing, seawalls, solar panels and screen enclosures. Keep in mind, you still have to pull a permit for these things. You just won’t have to pay the fee. You must submit a permit exemption affidavit with your permit application. The affidavit to use can be fond on the City of Marco Island’s website here. If you’re planning on fixing your home up in preparation for a move, this can save you a little money.

Permitting Office walk in hours are Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. Online Permitting is also available.

Green Home ‘Sea Glass Marco’ Wins Multiple Awards

By

The recently-completed green home dubbed Sea Glass Marco sparkled at the  2017 Sand Dollar Awards held in late September, taking home trophies in four categories.

The builder of Sea Glass, Kevin Williams Construction, was among some of the nation’s top builders who were recognized at the annual event put on by the Collier Building Industry Association’s (CBIA) Sales and Marketing Council (SMC), which bestowed the awards at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, the Naples Daily News reported.

Sea Glass Marco, a single-story costal contemporary, won awards for Best Green Home, Product Design of the Year—Single Family Homes, and Interior Design of the Year—Single Family Detached Homes, all within the $1.5 to $1.75M range. The home also took Best Landscape Design in the range of $30,000—$50,000.

Sea Glass is the first LEED-Gold certified green home on Marco Island, and is an open concept dwelling with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. Beneath a nearly 1,000 square foot covered lanai, the home includes a full outdoor kitchen with a gas grill—perfect for hosting parties with friends, or for a simple evening under the stars. The home has a spacious master suite with a large master bath and over-sized master closet. Its private study can be used as a home office, spare bedroom, or a place to get lost in a good book. The cook of the family can revel in the chef’s-style kitchen that’s complete with a large working island, counter top-height bar, and state-of-the-art Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances.

LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a symbol of excellence in green building that’s recognized worldwide. LEED certification aims to bring about electricity cost savings, lower carbon emissions, and healthier environments within homes, the workplace, institutions of education, places of worship, and other public facilities. LEED homes use less water and energy, enabling monthly savings on utilities. These homes tend to maintain their value over time. A LEED-certified home undergoes on-site inspections, documentation review, and performance testing to ensure the health and safety of occupants.

Kevin Williams Construction believes that green building produces durable, efficient, and healthy homes.

“We thank the Collier Building Industry Association (CBIA) for recognizing our leading-edge work in the residential construction industry,” reads a statement on the Kevin Williams website. “The overwhelmingly positive response to Sea Glass Marco is evidence to us that we exceeded our goals.”

The Collier Building Industry Association (CBIA) is a not-for-profit association of industrial professionals who are inspired to make a difference in their community through advocacy, education, networking, and philanthropy, according to its website.

Money-Saving Tips for Your Marco Island Home

By

If you’re looking for ways to stretch your dollar, and most of us are, consider these tips and tricks to help save money in and around your Marco Island home.

Simple Shower Clean

Instead of purchasing an expensive cleaner for your shower, full-strength vinegar will work just fine. Using a spray bottle, spray the vinegar onto your shower walls and glass. You really don’t even have to wipe it off, but you can rinse it off after about an hour if you want. Enjoy your shower’s clean sheen.

Prepare for a Move

If you’re planning to sell your home, and you don’t intend to take much of your furniture with you, it’s a good idea to begin selling some of your old or heavy pieces ahead of the move. Not only will this help save money on your moving expenses, but it can help your home appear more open and airy to potential buyers. You may be able to invest the profit from your furniture sale, and savings on your moving expenses, into furniture for your new home.

Start a Grocery Garden

What better way to help reduce your grocery bill than to grow some of your own? Instead of purchasing herbs, try your hand a starting yourn own herb garden. If it works out well, graduate to planting your own fruits and vegetables. These small changes can result in big savings for you and your family.
