Here's a link for 15 min question appointments.

Current Questions:

• We have a 15' setback from the street. Can we put a covered porch in that area? Where does that 15' setback start? Is it foundation, is it the roof overhang, is etc etc etc?
• Do we need a front door?

We need:

• site plan
• floor plans and foundation plans
• cross section plans
• building elevation drawings
• See the brochure above.

site plan

• We CAN connect an expansion through a breezeway.
• Fire setback counts every little extension. roofline, awning, deck, etc.
• We CAN pull our foundation back and cantilever over it to avoid the tree zone, but the cantilever requires engineering checks. Which is money.
• We do NOT require separate water/power/sewer unless it is two buildings. What makes it two buildings? two ranges with a door inbetween.
• Site survey just needs to be accurate, doesn't need certified people to stamp it.
• Don't need engineered drawings if we follow their seismic stuff.
