Easement in Myers Park

I hear the official Charlotte easement is 10 feet - can't build within 10 feet of your property line.
But I also hear that's different in some older neighborhoods. I'm looking at doing a tiny bump out (5' out, 8' or so wide) to expand a half-bath to a full bath, not sure if I have the clearance to my property line if I do that...

Anyone know the rule?

Thanks!

 

Found it - most of Myers Park is zoned R-4, some is R-3 or R-5 (for the single-family housing areas). For R-4, the side yard requirement is only 5 feet, and I currently have 10 feet on either side of my house, so I'm SWEET!

 

olde money...

 

Consider a 2nd floor on your....

...bump out if possible. 85% of your $ is spent on the 1st floor. i.e, footing, foundation, permit, roof, etc. ....if a 2nd level is added. !5% for the same sq/ft on the next level is well worth the money. I hope it works for you Btay. Fish.

 

you can always move your property line out accordingly. that would take care of meeting the easement restrictions. Just don't tell your neighbor.

 

it fucking rules, doesn't it. The hoi polloi are stepped on again.
