Case #2: Request for Review of Revised Site Plan of Alpine Meadows; Case of Shadetree Construction, Inc. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon stated that Shadetree Construction Inc. is building the townhome units contained in the Alpine Meadows subdivision. In mid-August, City Staff noticed that a taller and different style of units was going up than were approved in 2002, and halted construction. The units were still contained within the same lot lines approved as part of the Alpine Meadows plat, but a third story was added and the exterior elevations had changed. The units that were approved in 2002 had a height of 35 feet as measured to the peak of the roof. The unit being constructed currently is 40.5 feet to the peak of the roof. Staff informed Shadetree that a revised site plan would be necessary to allow for the units to be constructed. The Alpine Meadows subdivision and site plan was approved in 2002 to construct 42 townhome units. Of these units, 16 were planned were planned to be located adjacent to Highway #47 in four back-to-back style buildings that each contained 4 units. Staff informed Shadetree that a variance would be necessary to construct the unit to that height since it appeared to exceed the height requirement. In the time since the public hearing for the variance was legally noticed in the newspaper, Staff has determined that due to the changes on how height is measured under the new residential codes, the unit under construction meets the City's height requirement.
