Ric Mando :
City should worry about other things.

youdontneedtoknow 🧿 :
but the actual WHY is because of rain drainage, concrete doesn't absorb as much leading to more flooding and run off

When we lived in Charlotte a lot of them looked like this because the lots are so small 😂

A house and driveway consuming 47% of the lot is the real tragedy here.

Damn, we have 3 cars, and I've been planning on pouring concrete on our similar cutout. Thank you for posting this video. I wonder if we have similar rules in Lee County, Alabama.

Storm water management is important . These over condensed modern developments cause a lot of issues for surrounding areas. Developers/builders get wealthy and everyone loses in long run. Towns are trying to slow down the issues they cause .

It’s called being cheap cause they do it in Florida also and if you add your own like I did you just pay pay pay for permit and more concrete

Ppl complaining about this don't understand that the water falling out of the sky HAS TO TO GO SOMEWHERE. So home and businesses are taxed/charges differently base on their impervious sq footage. ✌️

Rain water absorption is the reason for this construction requirement.

They should just build the house closer to the road, won’t need such a long driveway, won’t have to cut it out

as a realtor that also works for a home building company. they should require some basic knowledge of this stuff in our courses. because these are the questions we get all the time and most realtors cant answer them.

Every day, I learn more reasons I need to live outside of city limits. Looks like a beautiful home though.

you say it's a city issue but I guarantee it's the builders cutting corners on everything they can

I can understand for drainage purposes. but I don't think that tiny cut out would make that much of a difference

Max :
So all municipalities (City, County, Township, etc.) will have a zoning code or unified development code, and it will have rules for what you can an cannot develop based on your zoning district or the use of the property. While the builder has to follow those rules to a tee (usually because the City will do a final inspection before you can move into the property) you can still go back and pour your own concrete if it bothers you. The catch is, if you hire a contractor to do the work and it costs a certain amount, you will need a building permit from the city and they will likely tell you to apply for a Variance (aka permission to break the zoning code rules). Variance processes typically take about 3 months and involve a public city council hearing. Or you can do it yourself/ without a contractor, but if you ever want to renovate/get a survey for landscaping/fencing/etc. you will run the risk of the city finding out and giving you a fine later. If you want someone to handle all this for you, you could always hire a land development engineering consulting firm to do all the research, permitting/paperwork, and coordination with the City.
