Meeting with my architect today at noon. It was supposed to be 9am, but he emailed yesterday and asked to reschedule for noon. Turning my 2020-built 300 sq foot "cabin in the woods" w/ air-conditioning on a 4600 sq ft lot into a real home. smile

Currently, I am only using 19% of the lot with includes 300sq foot foundation plus 400 sq feet of driveway currently, and the city planning department said I can go up to 66% of the lot with hardscape (foundation, patio, walkways, driveway) - but the setback for a garage has to be 20' from the front property line - which means 400 sq ft of wasted hardscape just for the driveway. crazy I was hoping to cut the length of the driveway by 50% - like they do with "zero lot line" homes.

Contrarian, extraordinaire
