Planning Notes for Twenty Mile Backyards

• In Twenty Mile we built a gazebo with a fireplace and an outdoor kitchen inside a screen enclosure, so we know how these lots work.
• Family backyards. Shade, bug-free screened space and room for kids to play are the most common requests in this part of Nocatee.
• Twenty Mile Park has a family pool with lap lanes, a dog park, a playground, athletic fields and a pavilion.

Cloudy days still bring sun exposure: the Skin Cancer Foundation says up to 80% of UV rays can pass through clouds.

What We've Built in Twenty Mile

A few of our Twenty Mile projects:

• A gazebo with a fireplace and an outdoor kitchen inside a screen enclosure, with new pavers, seating walls and lighting (Twenty Mile)

A patio is one of the two most-wanted home features in NAHB's study of home buyers, rated essential or desirable by 86% of buyers.

What Goes in Your Application

• Kitchens and bars. Boards typically review a kitchen with the cover above it; we put both in one application.
• Patio extensions. A bigger patio footprint is usually reviewed, so we include the paver plan with the rest.
• Fire features. Placement matters for both the board and the code, so fire pits and fireplaces are drawn with their clearances.

These are typical review topics, not Twenty Mile's written rules. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Permits for Twenty Mile Homes

St. Johns County issues the building permits for Twenty Mile. Expect a clearance step before the permit application, an automatic notice to registered architectural review associations, and a recorded Notice of Commencement for most permitted projects. The details are in our St. Johns County permit guide. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents. The association's approval doesn't replace the building permit; we take care of both.

Our Part of the Process

• Your project is designed in person with you in AutoCAD: a design session with Amany at our Jacksonville studio, then an in-home visit to finalize it.
• We handle the electrical with our licensed electrical partner; gas and plumbing go to our licensed trade partners.
• We can start most projects within two to four weeks, and financing is available through Synchrony Bank, including 18 months of no-interest financing.
• The review package, the engineered documents every permitted structure needs and the permit filing are all part of our job.
• You get a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your design consultation, and every project has a $10,000 minimum.
