[MissoulaGov] Building Heights

[Raymond Aten]

All,
I live in Farview and my architect had not difficulty using the envelope
method and "original grade" when renovating my house. I also know that many
hillside residents favor this method.

I think the consultants provided a simple and direct method which is easy to
understand and would provide a "level" playing field for all (residents,
builders, and designers included). 

Stick with the envelope method where your maximum height line follows the
grade line. So if the maximum height allowed in the district is 30 feet you
make a line thirty feet up from the finished or original grade, whichever is
lower, and no point on the building can go about that line.
