I’m working on a pair of duplexes. I had a great plan worked out until someone pointed out that the units second parking space was not within code compliance. not I have to do a 2 car garage in a building that’ s not really big enough for a 2 car garage (each u nit needs 2 spaces and there is no room outside the building for the second space. I had to relocate the stair and now the perfect plan no longer works so I created an SUV loosely based off a 1st get GTS but uses 2018 Explorer dimensions.

That actually looks pretty good, more wagon-like than SUV from the profile

“ not within code compliance” So, it wasn’t big enough initially?

usually a parking space has to be 3' from a property line and 5' from a building. In this zoning area, it needs to be 10' from property lines and buildings. The 3'and 5' worked but 10' and 10' does not

Couldn’t they apply for a variance since this is a parking space in a garage? It’s not like you’re putting a parking spot outside the neighbor’s window.

Hmm, Viper SUV...
Is the garage at the back/side of the house (where is the front door)? Otherwise it seems to have the stairway going the wrong way, though I guess if you are up against space limits sacrifices might have to be made.
In any event, a two car garage seems important, I hate how many town homes, etc. I see with single car garages, even though any home can reasonably be expected to be occupied by two adults, both of whom may have a car.

the property was just sold to our client. it was a former private parking lot that was frequently used by neighbors as their own (and the former owner didn’ t care). T he neighborhood is mad at our client for developing “ their ” parking lot so they are being difficult . They will bitch and scream if we go for any variances so the client is trying to do avoid that and do everything within compliance so they cannot stop him.

Every house should have like a 3 car garage. I know, first world problems and all that. But usually there are at least two drivers in any household. I should have room for my car, my wife’s car, and a project/fun car.
Don’t mind me, I’m just grumpy about having a one car garage. On the plus side, unlike 90% of people in my development, I actually use my garage as a garage and not just a space to store junk.

well each would have had a 1 car garage plus an addition a spac e each, so 2 spaces each. the lot is on a corner so I guess now the entrances will be on the sides.

That’s the spirit!
Besides, once it closes and they get occupancy, flood insurance is someone elses problem!

That looks like an awfully
low ceiling for a garage. C
ould the whole row of properties be lined up in a row, with a front or rear entrance? Seems that would allow them to be a bit wider and able to take a 2 car garage, or parallel parking in the rear for that needed 2nd space.

its actually two separate properties that are being developed at the same time but with the exception of the driveway , are remaining as two separate things. otherwise yes, doing 4 buildings in a group would be a better way to go. i think that ceiling was 8'6 which is good for a garage.
