Whereas the base <br />building height of the loft unit building is just above 30’, the other buildings are below 30’. She <br />added that the loft buildings cannot be three stories tall and fall under 30’. <br />Bremer asked how much above 30’ the loft unit building w ould be. <br />Krall felt the loft building would fall within a 31-32’ range for height if it had a flat roof, <br />however, a parapet would need to be added so that people do not fall off the edge. On the other <br />hand, if there is a sloped roof you gain an extra 9-10’ of roof height without the parapet. <br />Smith stated that she could not imagine a flat roof <br />PAGE 3 OF 22
