[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to the above poster who laid out the whole BZA process.

I do suspect that the homeowner is going to be very close (if not over) the 10% setback variance threshold.

A 10% threshold is 9.6 inches (10% of 96 inches) They are currently sitting at 6 inches short. An additional 3.5 inches more will be over 10%. Add in siding, gutters, roof line, etc it could easily go over the 10% threshold. [/quote]

Gutters alone are 5 or 6 inches. [/quote]

Standard gutters, yes. But you can get narrow gutters that are only a few inches wide.

I'm not sure if the county was already measuring to the current roof line. If so, they can probably squeak under 9.6 inches with special gutters. The siding isn't going to extend past the roof line.[/quote]
And of course these owners would look for the cheapest, thinnest gutters they could find. 😄

They wouldn't be the cheapest. And while they probably wouldn't look great, they might not have an alternative
if they need to stay under 3.5".[/quote]
