I wanted to build a larger garage but lot size, setback requirements and anything over 500 SF required a grading permit from the town. That permit would have required delineating wetlands and a stream encroachment line. I was not going to do that extra work so I scaled the project down to 484 SF. I plan on having a workbench. All stationary equipment will be along the wall that has the man door. The door opens in creating a three-foot wide "dead" area that could not be used for anything except workbench, compresor, etc.
