Eric Lundin referred the board to the measurements in the table provided in the staff report which included the requirements of the current ordinance and code in column two, the applicant’s proposal in column three, and what the staff is recommending in column four. The staff’s recommendation would meet the requirements of the International Residential Code while also minimizing the requirement.
