FW 151 Club Drive construction (105)Mike, FYI- From: Brian Hughes [mailto:brian229atl@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 11:43 AM To: Doerr, Sonya Subject: RE: 151 Club Drive construction Dear Sonya, Have you been able to receive any information from the building inspector with respect to my inquiry? Regards, Brian ________________________________ From: sdoerr@coab.us To: brian229atl@hotmail.com Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:37:48 -0400 Subject: RE: 151 Club Drive construction Mr. Hughes- The side setback in the RS-2 Zoning District is a combined 15-feet with not less than five-feet on either side. However, eaves and overhangs are permitted to extend into the side setbacks up to 24 inches, but the approved plans for this house show a setback for the second-story overhang on the west side of the house that exceeds five feet. I will ask the Building Inspector to verify that the house is placed as permitted.

I am writing to enquire about the compliance to building code of the house under construction at 151 Club Drive. > > My property is on the West side of 151 Club Drive. I understand that there is a 5 foot minimum setback to the property line, with which I believe the foundation is in compliance. However, as you can see from the attached photo, the second story extends beyond the building foundation by approximately 1 foot, and the roof overhang extends further. > > I was hoping you could explain the rationale behind the minimum setback. I assume the rationale for the setback is for safety and preservation of one's harmony and privacy of their property. If this is the case, it seems that the 151 Club Drive design intends to challenge the 5 foot minimmum setback by extending the second story and overhang beyond this minimum. As I also have a second story, this encroaches over the setback. > > Could you please review and reply? > > Kind Regards, > Brian Hughes
