Original plans destroyed by the tornado itself — the pre-storm footprint reconstructed from aerial history and permitted for rebuild in 11 hours.
After a tornado removed a home's attached garage and damaged the roofline, the restoration contractor needed a site plan for the rebuild permit within 48 hours to keep the insurance timeline — but the original plans were destroyed with the house.
We reconstructed the pre-storm footprint from county assessor sketches and historical aerial imagery, drew the rebuilt garage on the original foundation with all setbacks verified against current code, and added a note documenting the rebuild-in-place under the damage-restoration provisions.
Permit approved in one pass, 11 hours after the order. The family's rebuild started while neighboring claims were still waiting on paperwork.

Local-rule reminder: tool results and project examples are planning aids, not an approval guarantee. Your building or planning department makes the final determination.
