By any chance is there great taxi service for this neighborhood??ÿ No vehicles of any kind.?ÿ Finish off the garage into something useful.?ÿ Re-sell to someone like the owner-occupant.

Has anybody else noticed the contractor's name on the architect's plan?
???
@flga-2-2?ÿ
True.
It's like when the surgeon cuts off the wrong foot, the anesthesiologist gets sued.
40' radius circle lot?

looks like fun!

Dunno. The driveway access isn??t hidden, so beef would be if it doesn??t meet code and if the city issues an occupancy permit.
What??s going on with the integrity of the framing now hidden is another future issue I suppose.
I only posted this cuz the site plan didn??t reflect the topo and the proposed location of the house makes the garage access a real problem.
Just comedy of errors on what should??ve been an $800K house, and no one hit the brakes when the foundation was formed for concrete.
The city did as good a job as the architect. The site plan was fantasy, and it looked good on paper.?ÿ
I mean,c'mon. How expensive is it really to just reengineer the foundation and just jack up the structure for level with the road, disconnect and adjust the utilities, and and and .... right.... ??? ???ñ?ÿ
It was such an OBVIOUS mistake; why didn't YOU catch it???
@dougie I was asked by a member of the HOA long after it was framed.?ÿ
The 499 contour is missing on the left side of driveway the right corner of driveway at the street is 501.?ÿ The center of driveway is shown as approx.?ÿ 500.?ÿ It seems obvious that the intention was that the FFE match the road elevation at proposed CL of driveway.?ÿ Who ever staked it dropped the ball and the builder didn't pick it up.?ÿ?ÿ
I have to assume that the elevations are assumed and we all know what happens when you make assumptions.?ÿ It's a little late to ask questions.
Sometimes you just have to make the cartoon work on the ground after consulting with all parties.
?ÿ
@fairbanksls yes. It??s completely obvious that the original concrete forms should??ve been based on street elevation. Even if FFE and street had been cited as 100?? it would??ve worked. And I think it was a 4 ft bust?? or they shot the pavement somewhere downhill from centerline garage. Shoddy at the shoddiest.
The foundation got formed, and poured. No one ??noticed??. Then framing started and then the original buyer noticed and walked away. (No clue if there was lost earnest money or not.)
It sat for well over a year, and sold for basically the lot. The buyer didn??t raze it, he didn??t see a problem either. And now it??s finished except for the landscaping and a driveway solution is ??pending??,?ÿ
So how does one resurvey any of those lots? I see they are defined by a coordinate but I don't see any way to get on that coordinate system. How could that have even been allowed?
@lurker?ÿ
I saw a plat for one house and it called out 3 monuments: center of the lot (somewhere in the middle of the house) and 2 on the perimeter, ie; 3 points for a diameter.
Landscaping took care of the perimeter marks (I??m sure). The house is the monument. Kind of like townhouses, it is what it is and there??s a gap between circles.
I guess it??s ok.?ÿ
This was taken by a member of the HOA. This is from the kitchen door to the garage. The garage FFE was raised a foot, so now the garage is a step up from the kitchen instead of no step. Note: the porta-potty is on street pavement.?ÿ
Recall the original buyer backed out, maybe because he saw this.
Dunno, but who with an eye for construction wouldn??t have picked up on a ??woopsy doodle, that isn??t per plan!??.?ÿ
