Building height limits and ridgeline protection in Meyers

Summary

Several speakers urged the council and TRPA to re-evaluate maximum building heights, saying rising height limits are eroding the mountain views that draw people to Meyers. Council members noted the Meyers Area Plan raised the town center height limit to 42 feet, and one member suggested pushing for a lower community-wide maximum going forward.
