RE 151 Club Drive construction (115)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.

Dear Sonya,
I wanted to know if you have had the opportunity to review the question
I had as well as the property at 151 Club Drive.
Kind Regards,

> Dear Sonya,

> I own the property at 171 Club Drive. 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.
