No principal structure shall exceed thirty (30'0") feet in height and no accessory structure shall exceed fifteen <br />(15'0") feet in height measured from the ground six (6'0") feet from the primary front entrance to the highest point <br />of the roof structure. <br /> <br />2. Back and side facades may exceed thirty (30'0") feet in height but not more than forty (40'0") feet in height subject <br />to a Conditional Use Permit which addresses, at a minimum, the following criteria: <br /> <br />1. The facade in question should be partially screened from comparable and reasonable vantage point views <br />of the neighbors while in their dwelling(s), said screening to be by existing or planted and maintained <br />vegetation or the natural topography of the lot and surrounding lands with the amount of screening to be <br />measured at full growth in the summer season; and, <br /> <br />2. The verticality of any facade in question shall be interrupted by roof line(s), deck(s), bow/bay window(s), <br />or other such three-dimensional architectural feature(s) which preclude the creation of an uninterrupted <br />vertical plane of greater than thirty (30'0") feet at any point; and, <br /> <br />3. Chimneys, weather veins, cupolas, antennas and the like should not be counted as an element of the <br />structure for height measurements; and, <br /> <br />4. Lower level walkout design features may be included only in areas where the natural topography provides <br />for the design and no artificial topographical build up or grading change in excess of four (4'0") feet <br />collectively is required or created; and <br /> <br />5. Whenever a side or rear elevation exceeds the allowed height for that district, the structure must be further <br />setback from the side and rear lot lines by the standard setback distance plus two (2'0") feet for every one <br />(1'0") foot above the standard front height; and, <br /> <br />6. Such other factors as the City may determine based upon the special or unique conditions and <br />circumstances of the lot and its surroundings. <br /> <br />Formatted: Indent: Left: 1", No bullets or numbering <br />Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, 10 pt <br />Formatted: Indent: Left: 1", No bullets or numbering <br />Formatted: Numbered + Level: 2 + Numbering Style: <br />1, 2, 3, … + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: <br />0.75" + Indent at: 1" <br />Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, 10 pt <br />Formatted: Font: Not Bold <br />Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.5", No bullets or
