[quote=AN]2k sq-ft house on 5200 sq-ft lot, built early 80s. The 3 floor plans with 3 cars garage, which include mine is 1800 sq-ft, 2000 sq-ft, and 2300 sq-ft. The lot size of these places with 3 cars garage that are adjacent to my lot is also 5200 sq-ft. Those houses were built the exact same year mine was built.[/quote]
AN, if these houses with 3-car garages are all on the same tract as yours, why didn’t you just buy one of them instead of one with a 2-car garage? I can’t see how you can now build the 3rd bay on a 5200 sf lot. Those houses floor plans were built with those garages to fit on that lot. The “tandem-type” garage was not built in 1980 and would not conform with the rest of the development. If this is what you’re considering, I doubt it would be approved.

AN, you must know that 5200 sq ft is NOT .25 acre. Far from it. From your posts here, you sound as if you are “perfectly happy” with “5200 sq ft.”
