Or, like in the case shown here, the issue may not be building codes so much as the preferences of the homeowner. Their existing 1-car garage was just too small for the family's needs. So, first a new 2-car garage was built far to the right (plus the new driveway). Then, after the bigger garage was ready for use, the 1-car garage was converted in to an extra bedroom, plus extensive changes were made to the landscaping, plus the porch at the front door was enclosed (as part of a major expansion of a small kitchen). |
