I was looking into applying for a variance but that could take up to 6 months. Jogging it over won't work either because the back of the garage has a sliding door that I was going to take off and just butt the new addition up to it so I could drive thru to the alley from the front of my house. If the new addition was built 6 feet 10 inches from the fence, the wall would be right in the middle of the opening of the old door in the rear. Kinda sucks it has to be set up in a way that works with everything else. The house and garage were built in 1947 so they are grandfathered in. I was hoping it would count as a remodel but no such luck. lol
