The neighbor has air rights above his/her property on up into a certain point in space is my understanding.
You can't add 100ft steel beam cantilevers and build halfway across their back yard. You'll want to keep that egress for maintenance anyways when a fence goes up.
Snow and water run-off are the responsibility of the originator. No aiming all the gutters at their foundation which will crack. Is there a drop space pit planned? Lots of rain in parts of GA.
You can usually trim trees at the property line, unless they will significantly impact the entire health of the tree. I have some big old ones that the tree service won't touch. Communication and agreement goes a long way and saves legal fees in the long run.
And it's kind of a un-karma move to build anything close and high up, especially if a main house structure is on the other side. One somehow got a permit to build on 70-80% of the lot footprint which can't be legal. Same with building out to the curb and blocking their view. I've got neighbors with the minimum 4-5ft code setback on either sides and both have windows looking into each other's walls. How about baby poo mustard yellow while they are at it? Ugh. Who would want to live there?
A private outdoor porch and enjoyment space is golden. Separate the house from the Accessory Dwelling Unit. Maybe plant
the right tree between if there is space to block sight line. Eberybahdy happy.
Plans can be moved around at this stage. Work with what you got and what is possible.
The end result will make all the difference.
