Our county building code says we have to have a 10' easement on the sides of the lot, and cannot build within 30' (40' maybe?) of the back line. We pulled out a plat from the survey we had done a while back.
This shows the new garage (outline in blue) behind the existing house, with the back left corner right at the build line. Karl says this is what we have to show the county along with our floor plans to get the building permits. Glad he's dealing with all that for us...
I hate it that we have to cut down some of the big trees, but on the bright side -- that'll be a lot fewer oak leaves to rake and bag in the Fall! I'll replace oaks with tulip poplars, which I like a lot better anyway. I have a veritable tulip poplar nursery going in the yard now, with all the saplings that have started this year. Will move those to their new homes before we start demolition on the house.
