Can I Build A Two Story Garage In St Paul?

A St Paul gable roof Detached Garage shall not exceed the height of the principal structure or fifteen (15) feet, whichever is less. For a gable roof Garage the vertical distance is measured from the established grade to the average height between the eaves and top ridge for gable and hip roofs.

Where a building is located on sloping terrain, the height may be measured from the average ground level of the grade at the building wall. The existing grade of the property may not be raised around a new building or foundation in order to comply with the height requirements of this code. When there is a dormer build into the roof, the height is measured to the midpoint of the dormer roof if the dormer(s) exceeds fifty (50) percent or more of the width of any side of the building.

On this St Paul Garage we used a 10/12 room in attic truss with LP Smartside shingle siding.

For this St Paul Garage and any home improvement, using LP Smartsiding is a excellent choice, not only because its as durable as it is beautiful but its manufactured in right here in Northern Minnesota just outside of Duluth.
