    Building Pool Requiring a Variance in Critical Area in Anne Arundel County, Maryland

    You're right. This may be a stupid question, but how do you go about finding an engineer that does those types of drawings? Does the builder you're using work in AA County? Thanks!

    Building Pool Requiring a Variance in Critical Area in Anne Arundel County, Maryland

    I do have a plat and survey, but not sure how to redact everything personal on it...that wouldn't leave much. I'll see what I can do. We do not have an HOA or town, so it is just with the County. Thanks!
