Additions- Extension on the back of the house by 16' to the North.
- The width will be 21' which leaves a 1-foot offset on either side of the house to delineate the addition.
- The back portion of the roof and over the addition will be changed to a gable style. (The existing shed style roof does not have the proper slope to meet code requirements and pools water on it at the back.This would allow for the proper slope and better drainage of water.)
- Walls within 5' will require this 1hr rated wall and allows openings, walls with 3' are not allowed to have any openings. Due to the proximity of walls to the property lines the building department will require the construction of 1hr rated fire walls. (The fire walls are not visually different, except for the ones not allowing openings.)
