[quote=AN]Bad assumption. The lot/setback/configuration is almost exactly the same. In place of the 3rd car garage, I have a bigger front yard.[/quote]
It’s not the FY setback that may be the problem. It’s the side and rear setbacks. Check the regulations on this and get back to us, AN.
You also make the assumption (above) that you will work for the same employer for 20 years, which is an anomaly these days. No one is faulting you for wanting to live near your family or wanting to have a short “commute” to your current employment. But don’t try to turn a tract MM neighborhood into allowing something that you will be able to fashion yourself to accommodate your future hobby garage/workshop needs when it is the wrong area to be planning this stuff in. It’ll never fly, either with the City or the neighbors. If you want eventually have a car/hobbyist garage workshop, it’s a free country but it’s just not doable right there. You must accept that you’ll have to move for that, AN :=]
