Thanks for your input.,

People are comparing apples and oranges.

The "roads" in most CYV's are not "roads", they are "driveways". A regulation requiring a "set back" from a road, usually does not apply to a "driveway". That said, there can be a required set back from a driveway.

When discussing a "road", there are 2 separate and somewhat distinct parts of a road. There is the "travelled way" (paved, usually) and the "road layout" (or "road easement"). The layout part of the road, is generally about 1.25-1.5 times the width of the travelled way, approximately divided evenly on both sides.

Setback is usually measured not from the travelled way, but from the bounds of the road layout.

You need to see a stamped engineered/surveyed plan of your particular lot and roadway.
