I've been able to design houses here on steep sloping sites that have full walk out basements in the front and are under 35ft from basement floor to the ridge. That is the most extreme lot configuration and I've shown we can make 35ft work as a total and still not penalize someone for their lot configuration. I want to see these houses get shorter too!ante gamisouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869179191474679223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990818184521452285.post-69366442708050209062007-10-09T08:35:00.000-05:002007-10-09T08:35:00.000-05:00Actually the in-fill recommendation could be as hi...Actually the in-fill recommendation could be as high as 45 feet. It allows for 2 feet over the existing stucture's threshold. I have a neighbor that has an existing theshold 10 off the ground. 10+2+33=45.<BR/><BR/>Your 40+ would equate to 45+ with the in-fill task force recommendation. I assume you are messuring from the lowest point of the grade. If the lowest point is 40+ then the mean is 35 then the opposit side of the house would be 5 feet higher than the mean side. That would be a 10 foot slope from one side of the yard to the other. 10 slope + 2 feet of crawl space and flooring + 33 feet = 45 feet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990818184521452285.post-26508095410149328142007-10-09T06:11:00.000-05:002007-10-09T06:11:00.000-05:00The current height is the mean grade to the ridge ...The current height is the mean grade to the ridge (top of roof) at the front of the house, which can yield up to 40ft+ as well. My monster house on Fayetteville is only 25ft from grade to ridge. This is accomplished with a low sloped roof and slab on grade construction. I think a decent 2 story house can be done with less than 40ft, but we can't penalize people with extreme sloped lots at the front creating a 2 story walkout basement. The minority report would limit many houses from adding a second story which is no better than allowing too much. I like some of the ideas of both reports, but they are both flawed as well. I think we need a simplified solution and surveying half your street to prove the sideyard averages and somehow we'd survey the center of all these adjacent roof forms to prove the height. It sounds good in theory, but very impractical implement.ante gamisouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869179191474679223noreply@blogger.com
