There is a 16x19' old garage that I'm proposing to move and expand to
3 car garage, under 600 square ft. The walls of the existing garage will be
salvaged and used on the new structure, but the roof will be entirely
new stick construction.
There is quite a bit of landscaping near the proposed site that I don't
want to disturb. It's my intention to get the new garage as close to
the various trees as possible, this will dictate where the garage is
finally located. On the drawing, I'd like to locate the building to the
north west as close as possible to a massive walnut tree. Regardless,
the setback to the back property line (alley side) will be greater than 5'
and the setback to the side property line will be greater than 8.5'.
The building is at least 50 years old and Karen McWilliams in Historic
Preservation has been contacted. The various preservation agencies have
given preliminary approval to this project.
The new garage will not be heated.
The foundation will be designed by Gary Weeks, PE. The stamped design
will be presented to Building and Zoning when the building permit
is issued.
The existing garage has bi-fold doors on the north side. These will
be preserved in the new building, but will functionally be a wall.
A new 2x4 wall will be bult immediately behind these doors to carry the
building loads.
