By definition, the <br />height of the house is measured from the main floor level grade <br />at the front yard, measured to the average height of the highest <br />gable. By definition, the height of the house is approximately <br />13’, with a peak height above front yard grade of approximately <br />15.5'. <br />The barn proposed to be moved onto the property has a <br />gambrel roof and by definition the height of such a structure is <br />measured from the peak. peak height of that barn is 19.5'. <br />The barn as proposed w-.ll be located 76' from the so’--.herly <br />right-of-way line, and approximately 100' from the noith lot <br />line. The barn will be approximately in the center of <br />applicant's 3.1 acre property, and is located such that <br />structure could conceivably be used to house a horse in the <br />future, although that is not applicant's current intent. <br />Pl2uming CoBnlssion Recommendation - <br />Please review the memo and exhibits of April 11th. At their <br />April 16th meeting. Planning Commission considered the few <br />comments from neighboring property owners, and considered the <br />impact that this barn would have in the neighborhood. Due to the <br />large lot size, coupled with the relatively low grades at the <br />site, the Planning Commission felt the proposed barn would not be <br />detrimental to the character of the neighborhood, and voted 6-0 <br />to recommend approval for the 4- height variance. Planning <br />Commission also noted that the recommendation is only for the <br />barn coming from the Panuska property, and any other proposed <br />structure needing a height variance would have to be further <br />reviewed by Planning Commission.
