Stanton,
Following up from our conversation last week regarding the possible construction of a
garage or accessory building in your rear setback (Lot 3 of the Willow Ranch
Subdivision), I have provided information from the Land Management Code (LMC) and
from the Willow Ranch Subdivision Plat for you to consider before applying for a
building permit. I would also strongly recommend securing the following documents
prior to any submission:
1. Survey of your property done by a qualified surveyor, (will help to clear up
setback or property line issues)
2. Approval letter from your HOA - HOA CC&Rs are often more restrictive than the
LMC and while the Building Department does not require HOA approval, it is
helpful to have)
Land Management Code
Per LMC §15-2.10-2(11) Accessory Buildings and Uses are allowed Uses in the
Estate Zone.
Accessory Buildings are defined in the LMC as:
Accessory Building and Uses. Building on the same Lot as the principal
Building and that is:
1. clearly incidental to, and customarily found in connection with such
principal Building, such as detached garages, barns, free-standing Solar
Energy Systems, and other similar Structures that require a Building
Permit;
2. operated and maintained for the benefit of the principal Use;
3. not a Dwelling Unit; and
4. also includes Structures that do not require a Building Permit, such as
sheds, outbuildings, or similar Ancillary Structures. See Ancillary
Structure.
Garages are described as :
Garage, Private. An Accessory Building, or a portion of the Main Building,
used for the storage of motor vehicles for the tenants or occupants of the
Main Building and not by the general public.
Accessory Buildings are also considered an exception in the rear setback, LMC §15-
2.10-3(E6)
REAR SETBACK EXCEPTIONS. The required Rear Setback must be
open and free of any Structure except for the following:
6. Detached Accessory Buildings not more than eighteen (18') feet in
height and maintaining a minimum Setback of five feet (5'). Such
Structures must not cover over twenty-five percent (25%) of the Rear
Setback.
Willow Ranch Subdivision Plat
The Willow Ranch Plat outlines house building pads, barn building pads,
driveway easements, and wildlife corridors for some lots, but not all lots
have these additional restrictions.
House building pads are shown for Lots 1, 2, 7, and 6.
There is no house building pad shown for Lot 3.
A Wildlife Corridor is outlined for Lot A, 1, and 2.
There is no wildlife corridor shown for Lot 3.
Barn building pads are shown for Lots 1, 2, 7, and 6.
There is no barn building pad for Lot 3.
Lot 3 includes arrows showing what staff interprets to be setbacks for the
Single-Family Dwelling constructed on the site.
The Land Management Code outlines exceptions for setbacks, including a
driveway. Lots 1, 2, 7, and 8 have driveway easements established on the
plat. Lot 3 does not, indicating exceptions to setbacks apply to the lot and
the driveway was thus an exception to the setback.
As a driveway was allowed in the front setback of Lot 3, staff interprets an
Accessory Building to be an exception to the rear setback.
Plat note 9 raises questions about a detached accessory garage: home
square footage is limited to a maximum of 4,400 square feet on lot 3. Per
the LMC, Garages can be counted toward the home sq footage up to a
maximum area of 600 sq.ft. An additional garage may put you over the 4,400
maximum sq ft allowed.
Floor Area, Gross Residential. The Area of a Building, including all
enclosed Areas, consisting of the Area of all floors located under a ceiling
that is above Final Grade, measured in square feet. Unenclosed porches,
Balconies, patios and decks, vent shafts and courts are not calculated in
Gross Residential Floor Area. Garages, up to a maximum Area of 600
square feet1, are not considered Floor Area. Basement and Crawl Space
Areas below Final Grade are not considered Floor Area. Floor Area is
measured from the finished surface of the interior of the exterior boundary
walls.
I hope you find this information helpful, if you have any additional questions, please
feel free to contact me.
Best,
Gretchen
