Stanton,
Thank you, I did have nice weekend and hope you did as well.
At this point, you probably want to consult a land use professional to look into your options. We can
provide more information once a complete application is submitted.
Best,
Gretchen

Hi Gretchen,
I hope you had a great weekend.
I confirmed that the county records for my home are correct…it is 4602 total square feet including
the garage. So…does that mean I can only build a 398 square foot accessory building of a second
garage or can it be larger?
On a side note, what are the chances of me being approved for a CPU just to do the play court if I
decided to do that instead?
thanks for your input.

Stanton,
Not necessarily. The plat notes refer to home square footage and not just building
footprint so you would need to include the total square footage of your home (XXXX sq
ft) including the garage (905 sq ft), minus the 600 sq ft. Depending on what that
calculates to, the difference between that total and 4,400 sq ft. would be the
allowable sq footage for an additional garage.
Plat note 9 states:
<image002.png>
And again, the definition for the home square footage or floor area is:
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.
If this is not clear, let me know. I’ve also attached the Willow Ranch Subdivision plat for
reference.
Best,
Gretchen

Hi Gretchen,
Just had my home measured and the first floor is is 2175 sq ft and the current garage is
905 sq ft for a total of 3080 sq ft. Does that mean my accessory garage can be 1920 sq
ft with a roof height of 18 ft?
I hope you and the family have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Thanks,

I’ll take a look, but normally that is something you would verify.
Let’s touch base next week.

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.

Gretchen
