Summary
A homeowner wants to replace a 1956 garage with a taller carriage house-style structure. The zoning code caps accessory structures at 15 feet, but the HPC can allow more in the downtown overlay if the design fits the neighborhood. Commissioners wrestled with how height is even measured before settling on 16'8".
