Gerald,
I wanted to touch base because the more I’m looking at this property the more I’m seeing a better direction than a partition. The owner had been talking about rebuilding the property as two duplexes but they have not yet been built as such. The property currently has two gutted buildings.
With partition, I just don’t see a way for them to meet setbacks. However, if they rebuilt as two SFRs they would be within code as a common wall and then the potential barrier would be building code with the garage of 507 being 28” away from 509. I was by with Penunuri today and from a fire safety perspective, they’re already on their way with the materials they’ve chosen as exterior siding.
My questions are:
In that case, would only one set of full SDCs would fall to them?
Would they be able to keep their existing utility layout for water/sewer or would they have to go 2 to 1?
Because we may be switching gears tomorrow, I invited Ted to come by tomorrow to chat about this change of direction. I’m of the mind that if I can get him on his way in this discussion, we may not need our Thursday pre-app time.
