So I've been wanting to do this since I bought the house 2 years ago. House came with a 3acre plot of land that is mostly wooded but allows for as big of out building as I would ever need. I've been getting quotes on 42x64 pole buildings with 14 ft walls. My property is subdivided into 3 separate lots. I have the back which is 2 acres of just woods, the house sits on 1/3 an acre, and also own a 3rd lot that is 2/3 acre. Fortunately the previous owner bought the 3rd lot to prevent someone from building a house right next to him. My house is set back a ways from the road so there is a 66' easement that runs back to my house for my driveway that I share with one other person at the top of the drive. I'm posting a pic of 2 of my properties for layout purposes. I know forsure I cant build within 10ft of my easement because that is where my utilities run to my house. Zoning is saying i have to be 27 ft from my easement tho which would set me way further back into my property than i wanna go so gotta figure out a way to fight that and get it changed. It is technically not my land but I have to care for it so it's a strange situation. Wanted to get your guys thoughts on what to do or not to do as I move forward with this project?
Pic still shows it wooded but I have cut down many of the trees, just gotta pay to have all the roots excavated still.
