A Washington couple says their plan to build a family home on a 66-acre property has turned into a years-long regulatory dispute, with nearly $300,000 spent on permits, studies and other requirements and a reported demand to place 44.2 acres of the land under a permanent deed restriction.
Tyler and Wendy Chambers purchased the property in rural Chelan County, Washington, in 2021. According to an account published by AgWeb, the land was residentially zoned and had power, public utility district water, fibre connectivity and paved-road access. The couple planned to build a home and pole barn, plant an orchard and potentially leave space for their children and grandchildren to build on the property.
