Thought I'd start a thread for this topic. May be helpful for someone having to deal with HOA's.
Here's a recent event.
I had to look at a guys proposed garage the other day and after we talked about his proposal and my existing garage and how I added a building to the back of mine I thought I'd share this.
I just added the building behind mine for the garden tools and the air compressor. Luckily my garage is off the set back line some. This guy was going to put his right at the set back line. I asked him if he might ever want to add somthing like I did and he said maybe. Well you better move that garage off the line by several feet or you probably won't get the addition approved later. :see:
It was much easier to move 4 stakes in the ground than a 24 x 30 building. Now he has room for additions if he so chooses.
Point being, think down the road. A nice dream garage can make you think you'll never need more. Give yourself some wiggle room.
