Marsh at Lafayette <br />Hardship iii <br />”Mansa/tl* roof versus a "Gabtod’ roof: The definition of building height. Section 10.02 Ittm <br />#13 o4 the adopted City budding ordinance docs not ckarty define the term ‘mansard*. <br />• The total building height of a ’gabled* roof building is defined b>; mcasunng 30'-O* from <br />the lowest grade elevatioii to the midpoint or the average mean point of the roof, see plate <br />95. <br />• The total building bdght of a "mansard* roof building is defined by meisuruig 30'-0* from <br />the towea grade elevation to the deck of the root, see plate #4. <br />Hardship: The definmon of building height becomes a non-issue <br />when the proposed building is setback 267' from Old Beach <br />Road, see site section plate #2. The driving for« behind Ua <br />of this setback IS to locete the proposed building <br />where the best known soils exist » support a built improvement, <br />see plate #1. The total height of the proposed d«ign would be <br />perceived as lower than any otlar existing adjacent strucrures. <br />Please note, the building pads located on plate #1 are city <br />approved and are recorded on the plat documents. The building <br />pads and finish floor elevatioQS were established by recorded soil <br />TOnngs which determined the most suitable, buildable soils above <br />the floodplain cles'atioo for each lot. All basement floor <br />elevations arc to be a minimum of 2'-0* above the established <br />floodplam elevatioo of 931.5. For this reason, the first floor <br />elevation of the proposed building on Ia 4 #5 is 3'-0* above ^ade <br />and the residence is therefore "lifted" out of the ground.
