What people build in Salina
Salina reviews how a garage looks, not just where it sits.
Garages
Up to 770 sq ft in the single-family R zone; bigger needs a variance.
Metal buildings
The garage has to match the house or the neighborhood; metal that doesn’t match won’t be approved.
Garage or shed
A door 8 feet or wider makes it a garage, which needs a concrete floor and a surfaced drive.
Placement
3 feet from side lines, 5 feet from the rear, 10 with an alley, and 3 feet from the house.
We work in tubular steel, cold-formed steel, steel truss and red iron. See what a steel building costs.
