Question about same elevation as neighbor?
Was anyone else originally told you couldn't have this color siding or brick because of a neighbor? What about elevation? Across the street they are building my elevation! I thought the 5 houses around you couldn't be the same? Did I misunderstand? I couldn't even have the siding I wanted for this reason nonetheless a whole house? Can anyone explain if they know the rules!!!

We are the only waverly in our neighborhood so we didn't have that issue this time. However, when we built with Ryan in 2005, we had to change our elevation because the neighbor had the one we wanted. At that time, you could not have the same color or elevation as the house on either side of you or directly across the street.
ReplyDeleteI was under the impression no house could be next to you with the same colors, or elevation. I am not sure about across the street. They may be able to do the same elevation, but different color scheme. I'm just about 100% positive that it can't have both.
ReplyDeleteOurs was determined by town regulations who don't allow any 2 houses to have the same elevation or color scheme within 500 feet of each other. Our selections had to go through an architectural review board from our town before we could break ground. I wonder if there is no town or city regulation on this, if Ryan got a little lax in enforcing this (if it is their practice too) in your neighborhood?
ReplyDeleteOr...could there be differences once it is completed? We selected elevation C, but elevation L is the cottage look for our house, and even though the shape is the same during the first stages of building, it looks quite different once it is completed so they would have allowed that.
I think they told us that they could not have the same color scheme, I am not sure about the elevation. :( The same scheme could not be within 4 houses.
ReplyDeleteMost of those rules are controlled by the developer/community scheme/plan. We did not run into that but that's because we were the first Ryan Home in the new section. The two existing homes across the street are a different builder. In our development there are 3 different builders, but all homes must have carriage style garage doors and similar lantern style outside lighting, all mailboxes are the same, houses on corners that have brick or stone fronts must have the same as a water table on the side facing the street, all homes must have architectural shingles, and every home must be at least 2900 square feet. Becky may be right that the elevation is the same, but they may have a stone front or something that will make it look totally different. There are 2 homes with the exact same elevation right next to each other in our development, but one has a stucco exterior and the other has brick and siding...they look totally different.
