What building in Waldo actually involves
- The ground
- Sandy ridge ground sloping toward Lake Alto and Santa Fe Lake, generally good bearing with easy excavation.
- The water
- Lake Alto connects to the Santa Fe chain, so water levels move with the whole system rather than with local rainfall alone.
- The building stock
- Modest older homes with lakefront parcels commanding a very different scope of work than in-town lots.
- The rules
- Permits run through City of Waldo and Alachua County, and city permitting with Alachua County environmental review on shoreline work.
