Lot configuration and building position and method for residential housing

摘要

A residential subdivision having plural adjacent building lots is provided with common property lines between lots which have laterally offset portions extending between front and rear property lines. Residential dwelling units and vehicle garages or carports for each lot are placed a predetermined distance from the respective property lines to conform to regulatory requirements and to provide access to all sides of the dwelling units and garages or carports, respectively, for maintenance and repair without requiring access to adjacent properties. A dwelling unit on one lot and a garage, carport or other structure on an adjacent lot are aligned along a construction reference line placed in a predetermined position extending between front and rear property lines to provide error-free placement of structures on the respective lots. Fences may be provided extending between adjacent dwelling units on adjacent lots and extending along common property lines to the vehicle garages or carports such that a rear or backyard portion of each lot utilizes a somewhat L-shaped portion of an adjacent lot owned by others to provide a large unobstructed backyard space for each lot. The arrangement and method provides improved utilization of land for so-called Z lot subdivisions and ease of locating construction reference lines for proper placement of buildings on adjacent lots.
