9/6/88
Trustee Marienthal also commented on the height of the
building stating that the height of the building is totally
out of place and out of character with the neighborhood; he
stated that he did not like the smaller opening to the vista
at the south.
Trustee Reid stated that both of his concerns have been
mentioned; he questioned the pitch of the roof; and he
commented that what had been an open view of the lake has
become a private lake, and he is very disappointed in that
aspect of the plan.
Mr. Schwartz stated that, since the Board directed the
developer to build homes for ownership rather than rental,
there has to be some aspect of privacy for the benefit of
the homeowner; he also stated that it would be no problem
for the developer to build flat-roof buildings which would
be 49'

the building and the loss of the vista.

back to the Plan Commission with comments from tonight's

made this a community unto itself, rather than a part of the
Town Center.

and make the roofs flat, making the roofs no higher than
49' , and remove two end units, at approximately 27' each, to
open up the vista to the south.
Trustee Mathias stated that he believes that is a major
step in the right direction, however, he believes that there
needs to be a compromise between a flat roof and the roof
shown in the rendering.
Mr. Schwartz stated that the developer would be willing to
work on a compromise so that the roof line would still be
unique, but not 62' .
Trustee Glover stated that he believes this discussion
should be taking place at the Plan Commission level.
Trustee Glover stated that he would like to see the parking
below grade; Mr. Kuenkler stated that it is not unique and
it can be done. Mr. Lieberman stated that, with below-grade
7480
