Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Rules regarding eaves / verandahs over boundary setbacks 6Nov 21, 2009 11:43 am We had the same issue with our corner block - balcony on one side, porch on the other.

That's usually the case with garage side walls, but you'd have to have no eaves and a recessed design for the spouting along that wall.
