What is a Minimum Garage Depth?

[Tom Woolford]

I vote storage. Garage is misleading since there are very few street vehicles would fit in there.

You could squeeze 3 or 4 Smart cars in that garage. LOL

Smart Cars Are For Dopes.

Best of luck next time you get rear ended by anything larger than a bicycle.

About 2005/6, the Smart car was advertised on a billboard in South Africa as follows:
//////////////////////
Swiss precision
German engineering
American nothing.
//////////////////////

The above is true. I was seriously ticked off. I was a 40 year Chrysler product owner. Their response to my query about why they advertised this way was just a couple of paragraphs of gibberish and never addressed my questions.

My next car in 2007 was a Honda.

I can only fit my golf cart in my 2 car garage since I have so much stuff. I couldn't fit even a Smart car in mine.

Did one where they blew out the back wall of the garage and notched a cross beam holding up the garage roof to get a big stump jumping 4WD in there. The cross member lost enough material to be a structural issue. Most garages here are 20 feet deep. A typical long bed pick up is 22 feet.

It's barely a garage. Even the smaller import cars can be 14-15' long. My Tahoe is 19'.

I had a home recently that from the front presented a '3 car garage appearance' with appropriate garage doors - 1 double, 1 single, and from the side had the necessary typical depth.

But the left single space was occupied by a 10' x 10' storage room. So I treated that space as storage, and described in the report why I gave the dwelling a 2 car garage in the grid.

What is the UAD shorthand for a 2 bay 5/8 depth garage?

The assessor measured the house and assumed a 22' depth, thus reduced the GLA by 384 SF and assigned it to "garage"...not realizing the garage was shallow. It was a clever way to reduce the taxes.

Does the term "Dutch Gambrel" ring a bell?
