I just CO'd a new house a few months ago with an attached garage with an attic and a pull down stair in the garage.
Went there on a complaint from a neighbor about them dumping debris on the neighbors property and I see a new exterior stair going up to the "attic" in the garage.
I see new walls, plumbing vent thru the roof, wall wired for a kitchen, kitchen appliances in the garage etc... The owner tells me she is making an apartment for the help at their horse stable. So... I just get the plans from them today and the plans show an "office and exercise room" as the scope of work. They are also showing a Full bathroom with shower etc....
I know its going to be an apartment, they know its going to be an apartment, Can I legally not allow the bathroom? or at least not allow the shower?
They are able to get a special permit for an accessory apartment but the local health department will make them expand the septic and I dont think they have the room for that.
Anyway, I probably will tell them no on the shower and see what happens.
Any thoughts from you guys?
