01
The Challenge
A carriage-house ADU in Savannah's Victorian district needed a site plan for both zoning and historic review — showing the lane-facing placement, the relationship to the contributing main house, and lot coverage on a compact trust-lot parcel.
02
Our Solution
We sited the 500 SF carriage house on the lane per the district pattern, dimensioned its subordinate footprint relative to the main dwelling, computed 46% coverage against the 50% cap, and annotated the plan with the district's language so both reviewers worked from one document.
03
Reported Outcome
Historic staff asked for a fence-line correction; the revised plan cleared both reviews and the certificate of appropriateness followed.
