I heard that some home in Village 1 doesn't have the fiber optic connection to the house. So you might want to check with the owner to see if they have that infrastructure built-in.

I got my backyard design approved on the first try. It's not really that big of a deal. It's something simple, and very useful. They just want people to do something with the backyard, instead of leaving it to grow weeds.

I have good experience with the internet connection, even putting a wireless router on top of their router. So far so good.

Before you dig anything, get Blue Stake to come out and check things out. Really. If you happen to cut a fiber connection, lots of people won't be happy with you, esp. your neighbors.
