We find that <br /> there are a number of specific issues related to building height and grading which must be <br /> resolved: <br /> 1. The proposed house has a defined height of 33.25' where only a 30' defined building <br /> height is allowed. Building height is measured from the highest pre-existing grade abutting <br /> the proposed house(determined from your survey to be 1032.5')to the average height of the <br /> highest gable (determined from your building plans to be 1065.75'). Attached is a copy of <br /> our analysis of building height. This issue might be resolved by a variety of inethods which <br /> may or may not be appropriate for this site: <br /> - set the house deeper into the ground(water table may be a limiting factor); or <br /> -reduce the roof pitches significantly("average of highest gable"would have to be <br /> reduced by 3.25', i.e. the peak height would have to be lowered by 6.5'); or <br /> - other design revisions or a combination of the above <br /> 2. The proposed house, based on the submitted grading plan, is defined as a three-story <br /> residence where City code only allows 2-1/2 stories. The basement level is defined as a story . <br /> because less than 50%of its perimeter(exclusive of the garage which is unexcavated) is at <br /> least 6 feet below final grade. By our analysis (attached) only 63' of the 178' basement <br /> perimeter is covered to a depth of 6' or more. An additional 26' of perimeter must be <br /> covered to a depth of at least 6 feet in order for the lower level to be considered as a <br /> basement in order to not be a 3-story home. <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-461b <br /> wwwri nrnnn_mn_nc <br />
