Concrete slab contractor in Edgewater: what the accessory-building rules allow
The limits live in Sec. 21-36.02 of Edgewater's Land Development Code. The house comes first: an accessory structure needs a principal structure already on the parcel, so a vacant Edgewater lot can't take a shop pad or barn slab. Front yards are out. Each parcel gets two accessory buildings, and in residential zones the two together top out at 60 percent of the house's area. A shed of 200 sq ft or less can sit 5 feet off the side and rear lines.
Size, not price, is the first thing those limits settle, and they count every pad on the parcel. Take a 1,500 sq ft house with a garage slab and a shed slab on the wish list. That house gets 900 sq ft of accessory space, period. A 24 x 30 workshop (720 sq ft) swallows most of it and leaves 180 sq ft. A 12 x 20 shed slab (240 sq ft) sits over the 200 sq ft line, so it stays off the 5 foot setback.
