What's Happening??

Posted by Haywire

Yes, the pegs were in last Friday!!! After dropping Carrie off at the airport, I took a drive down on Sat morning with my cousin to take a look and had some pictures taken. I yet to upload them here but will do so soon. Bumped into my builder there at the site. He mentioned that there is some problems with the estate regarding the boundary setbacks and therefore he was there to see it would cause too much of a problem.


Changes in Estate Design Requirements Boundary Setbacks
The estate setback requirements have changed. One can no longer have the garage wall to be at the edge of the adjoining property. There must be a minimum setback of 1m from the side fence boundary.

Original Plans
My original drawing plans had the garage touching the left side of the fence and a 1.68m gap on the right. Now that the estate requires us to have a minimum of 1m from each side, the builder has to take in close to 0.4m from the garage. This is after shifting the whole house to the right by 0.6m. I wouldn't want to take out any floor area from the Master and Living rooms side. Also, we have to move the house forward by 0.4m to meet the front setback requirement as well.

Final Engineering Drawings for Estate Approvals
Here are the final engineering drawings for the estate's approval.
