We would have to see a plan that works within the 500 cy limit now(or close to it)with the idea that maybe retaining walls later on could be removed and an excavated area widened to work without them. We would need to see a plan in order to make a final determination on this.

If it can be worked out now,would there be a possibility of asking for some additional excavation in the future in the back yard?

See attached 2014 sheet. For a gable or hipped roof that has no windows within the roof svstem,you subtract half the distance between the highest point of the roof system to the lowest point of the gable. You can't take into account windows that are below the roof system. So I agree with the 8.5' subtraction the architect used on his building plans, rather than your 9.3'. The 1019.4'existing spot elevation at the perimeter of the proposed house needs to be shown on the survey.That likely helps them out. 1
