Mr. Meyring reviewed the proposed amendment to Chapter 24 and stated that this method has been used successfully in the county. It will require that applicants submit topographical maps with each building permit application. Mr. Adams expressed the feeling that this method of height measurement could result in long un- broken roof lines, i.e. Shaddow Mountain. Mr. Wooden stated that this particular problem is one of mass and bulk control and could not be controlled by building height limits. There being no further comments, Acting Chairman Adams closed the public hearing. Lewis moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the proposed amendment regarding building height measurement and that the Planning Department draft a resolution on same. Seconded by Collins. All in favor, motion carried. Open Space Interpretation Open Space Requirement - Interpretation Mr. Meyring appeared before the Commission to obtain their interpretation of the open space requirement with regard to a particular plan that had been submitted to him for building permit purposes. Point Mr. Meyring requested interpretation on was whether or not under the existing requirement an open space area could be depressed and not at street level. In this case before the Commission the open space proposed is similar to the depressed area at the Mountain Plaza Building. Mr. Meyring pointed out that the ordinance, does not specifcally require that open space be at street level or level with the street. Mr. Vidal stated that he felt that making the open space at street level was too confining and that in the future limitations should be set up as to how far above and below the street level would be allowed. Mr. Jordan asked if the depressed area was to be concrete. Mr. Adams said that the intent of the ordinance was to eliminate concerete landscaping and to require that the area be green and growing. Mr. Wooden reminded the Commission that the item before them at this meeting was to aid Mr. Meyring in interpreting exactly what the ordinance states and how that relates to the application - 1 - _~'__'W_"""""""';""_"~_"""_"'''''_''''_''''''~'"'~'_''_'''_ - " RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FOR"" C.F.HGECKELB.B.1\l.CO, Reg.
