Town of Duck ordinances limit building height to 35 ft. Sanderling put in a proposal (last spring, maybe?) to add extra rooms and requested a variance allowing them to exceed the 35 feet. Duck declined. (Many homeowners came to support the 35 foot limit, both because it would infringe on their current view and for slippery slope reasons.) Sanderling then put in a new proposal which would allow extra rooms without exceeding the 35-foot limit, which was approved. I'm not quite sure how they're going to fit three stories under a 35-foot roof, but I think maybe they're converting from a peaked roof to a flat roof or something like that. If anyone is really curious, there are more details in the ToD town council meeting minutes.
