Shot DownWell.... after almost a month of calling ppl and asking questions and filling out building permit apps I was told today I could NOT build my loft
 I was told I could modify my current shed but that will not be enough room. Kinda sucks that I pay taxes and cant build a loft on my own property. I was told the reason I cant build it is because they only allow ONE accessory building per home. GRRRRRRRRRR im so mad :S

Could you kind of 'extend' your shed by building a pen and a loft onto one end or one side of it so it would be 'one' building?

I was thinking that also.....
But the city said I was limited to 120 square feet :S I know my current shed is bigger than that so Im probably already in trouble LOL the shed has been there since we got the house over 15 years ago. another thing that upsets me is I can drive around my neighborhood and see other houses with more than one shed :S Seems why you try to do the right thing everything works against you :S If i woulda just built it I probably would have been able to get away with it but I was fearful that they would tell me to tear it down and I would have to find a home for my birds plus pay w/e fines they woulda came up with. With my luck that probably would have happened Its so bad here if your grass is over 8" they leave you a notice that you have 3 days to cut it or get fined. GRRRRRRRRRR

OHHH...sorry to hear this. What's the size of your current shed? No way to make that work? Yea, old Mr. Government loves to tell us what we can and can't do, but they can't get anything right themselves.

When I get home tonight I will look at the shed I have now and see if I can build something that will work.
Just sucks how I cant build a loft just for them :S If it wasnt for my motorcycles I would be good. I dont want to keeo them out in the open cause of rain and so on even with covers. also my current shed is not elevated off of the ground. that will be a problem correct?

Well, it really should be up off the ground, but doesn't HAVE to be. There's a floor, right?
You could just move............

Try what I did. When told i could only keep ten birds on my small lot in a mobile home park, I bought a travel trailer, actually just a shell of one, remodelled it and rented a parking area here in the MHP. I kept my birds, the city is happy.
Plus, I can take all my birds to a show without boxes One question, why the heck did you try for a building permit? Not normally needed for an outdoor storage type shed as long as it doesn' have a foundation or utilities. Look up your zoning ordinances on the city/county website and look for loopholes.

Here where i live, you can keep anything, until someone complains lol. I'm in the middle of a neighborhood, over 80 birds, they make so much noise sometimes, i just have good neighbors lol, i would suggest moving into a more rural area? or less crowded?

is anyone willing to help me out LOL
Ive been looking through this site for two days now http://www.municode.com/resources/ga...d=10220&sid=20 I dont see anywhere where it says you can only have one accessory building per lot. The city hall guy told me its in the codes that your only allowed one accessory building per house. I took a ride through my neighborhood y/day and saw about 3 houses with two sheds. I even saw one with a garage and two sheds. I did see where it says the shed can only be 120 square feet.

I'm sorry to hear about your problems. As you know mine are slightly similar. The trailer idea is actually a good one. Would probably be pretty cost effective and you could probably make it look pretty nice.

BAH!!!!
I think I finally found it 4-23.6 Administration; Permits; Section 105. (a) Section 105.2 is amended to read as follows: "Work Exempt from Permit." Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for classified historic sites and property located within Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Overlay Zones, permits shall not be required for the following, provided that the construction does not result in any violation of this Subtitle: a one-story detached accessory structure on one- and two-family dwelling properties accessory structure only per property
