Ok, this is getting off-topic from even being techie, but the current
project manager on the house is claiming my driveway (side-load garage)
will have to have a 3 degree slope for water run-off that would kill its
intended use by me as a basketball court (19 ft * sin(3 deg) ~= 1 ft).
Best explained here:

( sorry if it wraps :(   )

The only thing I've found is that effective Jan 1, 2002, NC supposedly
adopted the International Residential Code by the ICC

	http://www.intlcode.org/codes/irc.pdf
	http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=international+residential+code

But I'm so clueless on building codes that I'm kinda lost - I don't even
see how the driveway is covered by that code, so it may not even be the
relevant set of codes to dictate properties of the driveway.

Help! :)
