Good luck on the new shop! I grew up in a house that my back yard was the driveway, and my front yard was the parking lot of the restaurant next door. Not a blade of grass to be seen. Now living in the country on 2 acres and having two 36x28 garages I sometimes have to pinch myself to believe it! Having that back yard shop is a dream come true without question.
No rakes, no bikes, etc, etc. My wife and daughters call that garage "Man Town" Lol......
I'm not sure which is worse. Those rules in California or watching thousands of acres of 100+ year old oak trees bulldozed and burned to build subdivisions in Texas. It's a shame there is no middle ground...
Yeah, the oak protection is a bit weird, but it's nothing compared to the $30-50k building permit fees in my county (El Dorado). Property costs still seem somewhat reasonable, but with a home, they kind of pin the meter. To build, you need some hard cash. Nevertheless, there are many where I live who have some nice non-permit shops . . .
Let me know if you need to get rid of any of that protected oak. They still let us burn stuff in my neck of the woods.

Yeah I work in El Dorado County and it's insanely challenging to build so much as a wood shed out here.
Permit should be all in this week! Come on concrete guy.

30-50K permit fees Wow, that's a lot. I think the permit fee here to build my house was less than $500.
wtf!? That's crazy man. So far, my permit has been about $1500 all in. What was interesting though is that the county scans the address for any additional potential permits. In my case they found that my hot water heater operating permit was out of date. Got that fixed- $1000 later. Cool lol
Grading is done. Time for a wall and some footing forms.
