Finished Floor Elevation Recomendation
Finished Floor Elevation Recomendation
(OP)
Hi, I am new to this and need help determining what the finished floor elevation for this particular site and layout should be. Lot 2 is where the house will be built. My first inclination is to go with a 394' elevation since that is the elevation the driveway will come in at. But that will result in a higher retaining wall on the south side of the property where there is a steep slope. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

balance the earthwork. you don't want to haul in fill or haul out waste material. that will also reduce the height of any wall
keep your finished floor at least 12 to 14 inches above the road elevation and surrounding ground if possible, that will help with controlling drainage

Here there are regulations for both how high the garage floor and house floor must be above street level.

If basement elevations are below the sewer manhole rim, you would want to specify an overhead drainage system.
