Yeah I'm going to look into it more.

While adding another layer of Gypsum doesn't sound like much it's just one more thing we would have to add to a growing list. The upstairs drywall is complete and painted so going backwards again isn't ideal. The living room also has a gas fireplace on that wall which is all built in with drywall so going around that area alone will be significant.

The proposed conditions from Wheatland for the variance are exactly as follows:

A new building permit required to complete house and allow for occupancy.
C Schedules will be required from the professional engineer overseeing the Fire Sprinkler System.
The basement windows on the right side when facing the front of the house removed and covered over with stucco and/or parging.
Within the dwelling unit and basement area, the right side is to have installed from the underside of the floor sheathing to a minimum of 12 inch exterior grade.

So yeah buying the extra 5cm of land would be way easier.
