What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here

Lithia is a rural-suburban unincorporated Hillsborough County community in southeast Hillsborough; the housing stock is a mix of 1995-2020 master-planned development and older 1925-1985 rural-residential.

Alafia River frontage parcels sit in FEMA Zone AE with substantial-improvement 50% rule active; SWFWMD ERP applies to riverbank work.

Permitting falls to Hillsborough County Building; the HC 2024 Hurricane Mitigation Reform adds a 4th inspection step.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
