spoke in favor.
Frank Theis gave additional information regarding the historical use of the property.
It was moved and seconded (Newsom/Ball) that the variance be approved as
submitted based on the findings that this is an historic structure and needs to be
replicated as closely as possible and the height variance from the 30 feet is needed
to replicate the building, and because of the consideration of the amount of open
public areas in the lodge, the additional FAR should be allowed. Motion carried.
Those voting “yes” - Sager, Newsom and Ball. Those voting “no” - Lamy and
Barker.
