Question about lot sub division
Hello everyone. We are looking to get a 1.1 acre lot sub divided in orange county New York. I have a question regrading the property line that will split the lot. Local town requires houses to have setback from the property line of 40 feet in front/back and 15 on each side of the house. In this diagram http://screencast.com/t/uQfaJ6UFBUV The blue line is where we want the property to be sub divided, however there is a small shed about 5 feet away from that line. Will the local town or an engineer say the property line needs to be a certain distance away from the shed also? Even though the house meets the setback requirement from the blue property line? I understand I will have to confirm any opinions with a local engineer or land surveyor.
