Permitting metal buildings in Sutton
Sutton’s rules focus on distance from the street and the lot lines.
Placement
- 50 feet from the street in R-1, 40 in R-2.
- Up to 40% of the required rear yard.
Setbacks
- At least 10 feet from any lot line.
- No building within 10 feet of a wetland or stream.
Coverage
- Up to 10% of the lot in R-1.
- Up to 20% in R-2.
In Sutton, a barn can sit 10 feet from the side line but needs 50 feet from the street in R-1. We’ll site the building to meet both.
