It was helpful to walk through the site challenges with you early in the process. We will keep in touch as the design progresses. Here is a summary of our discussion. Please let me know if there is anything I misunderstood or am missing. Setbacks - Melanie will provide more information on how the front setback was determined. We will investigate this setback further because it is an unusual circumstance. - A portion of the existing house is built in the front setback. Without a variance, we are able to build within this footprint and massing with the proposed scheme. We cannot relocate the non-confirming square footage to another location on the site. Nor can the structure be changed or enlarged within the setback. - Pools cannot be closer to the front property line than the house.This needs to be respected along the length of the property line. - Retaining walls are permitted in the setbacks. Walls over 4' in height need to be engineered and respect the "structure" setback from the property line. Melanie will provide the specifics of this structure setback. See above. Buildin� Hei�ht - We discussed the allowable building height at length. In a nutshell, we should be able to build a basement plus 2 stories on the site. o My understanding of the height determination: ■ To qualify as a basement, the lowest level must be lower than 6' of the highest adjacent grade (front door) for at least 50%of the floor perimeter. Unexcavated space and garages(?) don't count in the perimeter calculation—correct, unexcavated spaces and garages (without living space below) do not count. �
