Here is the situation .
We were given a foundation plan to stake a commercial building on a 0 setback lot . Made sure all parties knew that this was along the property line and no room for error and also to start there building from the property line side over.
I get called out to do a final survey , Building wall is fine except they put a soldier course of brick 4' up around the building and guess what about a .10 over .
Its going to get reported on the survey but it will cause a sh!@ storm , they forgot to order the survey and called me last minute . Wonder how fast they can record an encroachement easement.

It amazes me how often they put the building wall exactly on line, then forget the finishing touches on the side of the building will now encroach.

Brick Saw, anyone?

Might look funny, though ...

Anything in the Zoning By-Law regarding encroachments of sills, belt courses etc.?

That was what I was thinking driving home. Will call planning in morning.

In some states, Louisiana included, a building wall over the line is OK as long as the wall is intended to be the line, and the building does not encroach more than 6 inches.

that would be convenient to allow someone over the line... and it would make for easier stakeouts.

No problem

pry the bricks off and stick on some of that fake-brick veneer.
