Attachment: APA Structure Height Supplement to Citizen's Guide
Please be advised that is appears that the Franz's proposal for a
tear-down/rebuild at 272 Sand Point RD (parcel 52.19-1-7) requires a
permit from the Agency for a structure over 40 feet in
height.
Agency staff have reviewed the proposal and
the existing and proposed dwelling appear to be structurally
integrated into a retaining wall which is on the shoreline of Canada
Lake. The Agency measures height in accordance with the
attached flyer. Given the change in elevation from the lake
level (1543.1 feet amsl) to the ridgeline, the existing structure is
42.3 feet and the proposed would be 44.3 feet. A permit is
required for the replacement or expansion of an existing structure in
excess of 40 feet in height that results in an increase in
height.
If you have any questions please let me know.
