introduction of an ordinance that we've talked about amending well really throughout last year regarding first floor ceiling height and building transparency on the ground level

what we're looking for tonight is just initial thoughts anything that you'd like us to go back and study

the idea was that um because you don't want to have to tear down a building um or force it into a particular use because uses change over time and so the idea was keep it at 20 ft for any kind of building regardless of what it was so that you have flexibility

with garages or ramps like 10 ft is a standard on post tension or any other kind of ramps they're not going to want to build yeah more height cuz it's more cost so like they could get by with France

do we're going to create an overlay district for the greater sou District that the same way we have different setback for so yeah we could you know yeah I don't think it makes sense to have this like a 44th of France or other small areas it doesn't really make sense

to me it certainly looks better to have it on all four sides or to require it on all four sides rather than to have I mean if you think of you know houses will do it for cost reasons right the first the road facing face of the house will be brick and then the rest of it will be siding but that can look look pretty cheap on IND on commercial buildings

lot of request to reduce from 75% so that's why we went to 50 see thinking that was because everybody's asked to reduce it but they're outs a lot of them are outside Southdale
