DARROW: There are no restrictions for the 8-foot setback. It would be 45 feet. RHO: No, there is a restriction. DARROW: I mean it would -. HAYASHI: I guess your question was what is the height requirement for this area. Is that correct? RHO: If I was a property owner and I set it back 8 feet on either side, how high could I build? How many floors? HAYASHI: If it’s a one-story structure, I mean, 8 feet would be only one-story structure. You can go up to 45 feet because that’s the allowable height within that zone district. RHO: So could I actually build 2 stories? HAYASHI: If you go 2 stories, then you’ve got to, then it has to be set back 10 feet on the sides. RHO: Ten feet. HAYASHI: Yes. So this is why it’s 16 feet; the applicant intends to do a 5-story structure. But the height limit would still be 45 feet. RHO: This is not a question, but I guess I bring that up because instead of 8 feet or 10 feet, we are doing 16 feet on each side. But the basis for allowing the 20 feet setback is based on 8 feet, right, so the developer then adds his own requirement which further limits the buildable area. Isn’t that right? That self-imposed buildable area is further reduced. DARROW: Correct. But the -. RHO: Okay. And all I’m saying in my thinking, and I know this is not a question, we are already blocking the viewplane, whatever viewplane there is. The builder is setting 16 feet on either side, why not come back further from the shoreline and build wider. That’s not a question, that’s just a comment. I guess I’m concerned about that. So I’ll move onto a question -. YUEN: Could I jump in here? Because I, you know, if your question was the thought that the builder has created the 20-foot shoreline setback by going higher, by creating a wider setback, that’s not the case. The -. RHO: No, I didn’t say that. YUEN: Yeah. Okay. EXHIBIT B 12
