Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of the inadequate drainage of water from driveways where water can accumulate or enter a garage.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • the exposure of building materials to water, or
  • moisture-related expansion and contraction of the soil, or frost heaving.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • compromised structural integrity of garage foundations and floors, or of elements they support, or
  • deterioration, which could lead to compromised integrity of elements supported or protected by garage foundation or floors.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • the space being unsuitable for its intended use, or
  • damage to the building.
