[quote=spdrun]Design the gar(b)age to be able to be surreptitiously converted to living/rental space after the town inspectors are done spooging over the final build. 1085 sf in a place where a lot of people street-park is absurd.[/quote]
1085 sf / 25′ = 43′ / 2 = 21.5′
This is about the size of two 2-car garages.
25′ x 21.5′ each.
Probably for the tenants in the two 1085 sf units above. This doesn’t seem obsessive. You could make two 1-car garages for the tenants and one 2-car garage for yourself and convert it to a shop or something else.
