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.
Best,
Gretchen
