' <br /> Erik Vogstrom stated they do meet the height requirements of the City. � <br /> Jurgens stated the addition increases the nonconformity in the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> Bremer pointed out the house is located entirely in the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> Susan Dunkley stated she understands what the Planning Commission is saying but pointed out that they <br /> are only adding a small amount of floor space to the house and that their residence is not massive in <br /> comparison to the other homes in their area. Dunkley illustrated on the overhead the section where they <br /> would be adding floor. • � <br /> Rahn inquired whether the applicant would like to redesign their plans or proceed forward to the council. <br /> John Vogstrom asked whether the Planning Commission is more concerned with the glass or with the <br /> height of the middle of the structure. � . <br /> Berg stated it is the height of the structure. � <br /> Gaffron stated the retaining wall gives the appearance of another story and that there are a number of <br /> peaks that contribute to the appearance of massing. � <br /> Kempf stated if the height of the structure were reduced to the curved windows on the three peaks,he <br /> would be more likely to approve the application because it would help to reduce the massing. s <br /> John Vogstrom stated they could eliminate the upper windows in the middle section but that he is unsure <br /> what could be done to reduce the massing because the house that currently exists is very long. <br /> Berg stated she does not have a problem with the windows and that she has a concern with the height of <br /> the structure. � ' <br /> Bremer suggested the middle peak be lowered to the height of the peak over the garage. <br /> � PAGE 10 <br />
