Would be reasonably sure that it would be wetlands. While you can do the permits yourself be prepared for a long process that will take you a very long time. Having done this in the coastal zone, I can give you some of what we encountered. You will only be able to develop your pad and driveway access. Saltwater marshland mitigation was selling at $8K a 1/4 acre the last time I checked and there was very little mitigation bank left so you can look for those prices to go up. This meaning that you have to buy in 1/4 acre plots for every bit of nature you are looking to change.

I can say that we tried this with our property in leeville and it was more pain in the butt than it was worth. they complain about erosion but want you to pay to build up land
