A similar 2 1/2 <br />story house would be about 40 feet wide. <br />Flint stated the Council would want documentation about the trees and their drip lines, <br />also the resolution should reflect that the house would be constructed as such specifically <br />to save large trees. <br />Mr. Huntress stated that the railing around the roof was for safety purposes, and they <br />would use a special cable that was not visible from about 50 feet away. Mayor Peterson <br />stated she did not see a hardship for the railing. <br />Flint moved, and Nygard seconded, to allow a second residential unit on the <br />property. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Flint moved, and White seconded, to require chimney height on the main house to <br />exceed the roof peak by only 2 feet, at a height of 32 feet. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Flint moved, and Nygard seconded, to deny the request for a 30 inch high railing <br />around the roof of the guest house. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Flint moved, and White seconded, to have staff draft a new resolution for the next <br />Council meeting that shows a 3 story structure would be permitted because its <br />design saves large trees on the property, reducing its impact on the land. <br />Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 1 ( Nygard). <br />11. #2651 Robin and Jeremy Bupp, 2696 Caroline Avenue — Variances <br />Mrs. Bupp and Steve Longman, the builder, were present. <br />Weinberger stated that a building permit was issued to the Bupps in June 2000. The <br />house was nearly complete when it was discovered that the shoreline along the next door <br />neighbor's property bends inland and the 75 foot lakeshore setback was not measured <br />properly by the surveyor. The proper setback reduces their hardcover area by <br />approximately 200 s.f. Currently, the applicants were at 100% of the allowed hardcover <br />in the 75 — 200 foot setback zone. <br />12 <br />
