The second wall will be completed on the El Dorado Hills job tomorrow.
I called for an inspection for the second terrace wall footing and the inspector said, “retaining walls must be a minimum of 5’ from the property lines”. This is not typically true; usually we can have up to a 7’ tall wall as close as 2’ from the property line. I hot footed it up to the planning department in El Dorado County and was told there is an easement on both sides of the property. Checking with the title company revealed there are no recorded easements, but apparently on the developer’s map that was filed as part of the subdivision development, there is a statement about a five foot easement on the sides of the property.
Stay Tuned!!!!!
