Project Description

Please describe your proposed project:
I intend to add space to our existing cabin. This would be a new bedroom, bathroom, and storage space. It would be added to the north side, set back 14' from the edge of the existing cabin which faces Pine Lake (west side). The new structure will be 16' wide (north-to-south) and 30' deep (west to east). This will be on a new slab foundation.

New addition will have a 2nd story, primarily storage or home office. This will only be partial, a "bonus room" narrower in usable space than the lower level.

One of the existing legal bedrooms in the current cabin will be converted to an entry/hallway connecting to the new addition, so total number of bedrooms will remain 2.

I will also be removing a semi-permanent metal shed which is 9'x20' prior to construction.
