DEVELOPMENT ZONING BUILDING ELECTRICAL MECHANICAL PLUMBING ACCESSORY STRUCTURES PROPERTY MAINTENANCE



Common Issues - Development



New Subdivisions Must have all approvals from Planning Department and MWRD before applying for building permits Discuss issues of lot coverage, setbacks, building heights with Planning staff before finalizing the

development agreement.

Impact and Water Connection Fees Impact fees are assessed according to the rates agreed on in the development agreement If agreement has expired, fees will be assessed based on prevailing rates as required by current code

at time of permit issuance for each individual lot. Fees for schools and parks are based on number of bedrooms in the house. Note that any room

with a closet that could be used for sleeping purposes is considered a bedroom, regardless of how its labeled on the plans.

Model Plans and Building Codes We are open to accommodating builders with model / prototype plans for larger subdivisions to

eliminate the requirement for separate full size plan submittal with each building permit. Typically homes must follow whatever building/zoning code is in effect at time of permit submittal.

If we are nearing a next code update, discuss the possible ramifications with the Zoning/Building Official

40% of the lot area This is a problem with large homes on relatively small lots with large in-ground pools and

patios – educate your customers regarding this prior to them wanting a pool permit Permeable pavers must allow storm water to percolate into the ground below – applicant

must submit cut sheet and product info for approval prior to installation if utilizing permeable paver lot coverage bonus of additional 5%.

BUILDING HEIGHT Most new single family houses are located in R-3 zoning district –

BUILDING SETBACKS – R3 ZONING DISTRICT FRONT SETBACKS Code changed - Setback has been reduced from 30 feet to 25 feet for R-3 zoning district The 5 ft garage encroachment allowance has been removed from code

SIDE SETBACKS Required minimum side setback is 10% of lot width, but not less than 8 feet Any lot which is less than 80 feet wide, must still maintain a minimum 8 feet side setback IRREGULAR LOTS Ask for code interpretation on required setbacks prior to customer settling on a house design (or lot

purchase) Typically, narrowest side of corner lot facing the ROW is considered the “front” yard, regardless of

which way the house faces or street address. ZONING VARIANCES Exceeding the setbacks, lot coverage, height, and similar zoning code issues requires a Minor Zoning

Variance Public hearing process, with required notification of neighbors within 300 feet of subject property Applicant must demonstrate a unique hardship. If reason applies to other residents, it’s not unique.

double height spaces unless braced with a floor, ceiling or roof diaphragm at 10 feet height (for load bearing walls) or 20 feet height (non-load bearing) when using 2x6 lumber.

1. Temper resistant outlets are required throughout the house

2. At least one receptacle outlet is required for each car space in garage
