Ms. Oyer wondered if anything is scheduled for the property? Mr. Miller said this is a preemptive move to make the property more sellable. Mr. Simon wondered what the maximum building height is for that area once this property is rezoned. Mr. Breese said 30 feet,the current residential setbacks would be 25 feet in the rear, 10-20 feet on the sides, and the front plat may have a requirement of 25 feet, which is similar to other recent residential structures. Some discussion ensued regarding setback requirements current vs. projected. Mr. Litsch asked if these requests could be done one without the other. Mr. Cherof explained that these be two separate motions,the LUA should come first,then the rezoning.
