YUEN:Well, I think the idea was to, well, we would say that it be measured from <br />the natural grade or the finished grade, whichever is less. So if they cut the site flat then you <br />measure the height from the cut height. If they want to for some reason make the house on a <br />platform then all they€re doing is they€re cutting into the ultimate height of the house. <br />WATANABE:Oh, so you, that was a little more than I had actually expected. So actually <br />I think that€s very good. <br />GRAHAM:I€m okay with that as he said. <br />WATANABE:Should that be worded somehow or is it already worded into the -? <br />YUEN:What I said was the house shall be measured from the natural grade or the <br />finished grade, whichever is less. And this would still incorporate the Zoning Code€s condition <br />thatit€sthehighpointofthegrade.Andsoiftheyleftitatthecompletenaturalgradeyou€re <br />still going to the high point of the natural grade. And if chances are they€ve cut the grade to a <br />point so there€s not really an issue of high or low, you end up measuring the house, you know, <br />you can build the house 25 feet high from a, if they cut the thing high you can build it 25 feet <br />from the finished flat grade. <br />WATANABE:Actually that€s pretty good. <br />GRAHAM:Is that part of your motion then to include it like that? <br />WATANABE:Yeah, I take that as a friendly amendment and clarification. <br />ALAMEDA:Very good.
