CD/2/121092L.MIN 2
Motion: Board Member Cameron - The Board feels that all
bluff development should maintain a 40' setback. Therefore,
the Board declines to make a recommendation on the issues of
. bluff encroachment and the cantilevered deck for the subject
project. The Board recommends approval to the Planning
Commission to allow the chimney to exceed the standard
height limit. The Board also recommends 1) that the Planning
Commission require the applicant to erect story poles to
clearly show the height of the structure and depict the
building footprint, and 2) that if the Planning Commission is
to approve the project, the project should be conditioned to
require the property owner to enter into a covenant agreeing
to a "planned retreat" strategy should the bluff experience
failure in the future.
