It includes a height variance (40 feet). The Master Plan showed the dormitory as a walk out on a hillside. The applicant wishes to save the oak trees on the hillside and so has pulled the building to the toe of the slope, but in doing so has exposed the entire basement which then causes the building to exceed the maximum height requirement of 35 feet. Lastly, the applicant is also requesting approval for an expansion to their Science, Art, and Technology building (adjacent to the Community Life Center). The expansion was shown on the Master Plan. The request includes a height variance (40 feet). The existing building exceeds the height requirement and the new addition would be the same height as the existing building. 5.
