2.3 Building Setbacks
For those lots in The Meadow as listed on "The Meadow at Rosehurst" attached hereto the following setbacks apply:
Unless otherwise approved by the ARC, building setbacks for the primary residence are twenty-five feet (25') from front property lines, forty feet (40') from rear property lines, and forty feet (40’) from side property lines. Setbacks for detached garages and accessory buildings are forty-five feet (45') from side property lines and thirty feet (30’) from rear property lines.
For those lots in The Grove as listed on "The Grove at Rosehurst" attached hereto the following setbacks apply:
Unless otherwise approved by the ARC, building setbacks for the primary residence are fifty feet (50') from front property lines, forty feet (40') from rear property lines, and forty feet (40’) from side property lines. Setbacks for detached garages and accessory buildings are forty-five feet (45') from side property lines and thirty feet (30’) from rear property lines.
More or less stringent setbacks may be required by the ARC. In case of a conflict between these Guidelines and the setbacks called for in the recorded subdivision plat, the setbacks adopted by the ARC shall govern.
If in the opinion of the ARC, the relaxation of these standards can protect and enhance an existing natural feature such as a specimen tree, consideration will be given for a variance on a case by case basis. To secure such variance, the owner/builder is required to provide evidence in the form of a tree survey, plan and or site photographs which verify the existence and character of the site feature causing the variance request.
Prior to the placement of any forms, owner/builder should review the recorded final subdivision plat and these Guidelines for the specific lot to verify all setback requirements. Property owners are encouraged to obtain written confirmation from their builder that all setback requirements have been met prior to the start of any construction of the residence.
