What story poles do on site
Story poles (Temporary Frame Structures) are placed to demonstrate a three-dimensional, full-scale, silhouette structure that outlines the height, location, bulk, and mass of a proposed structure(s). These occupy a site for onsite view assessment, visual impact of structure from various vantage points, and to document the impacts of a proposed structure(s).
They are required for certain design review applications and may be requested for any discretionary review warranted by visual impact or location issues. Story poles allow City and County Planning staff, neighbors, and others to assess the location and general massing of a proposed building from various vantage points.
Marked, accurate, and compliant
Bright orange construction mesh, Pennant Flags (or similar, high-visibility material) is strung along the top of the Story poles to easily delineate the proposed height, location, bulk, and mass. Markings are provided as required at certain heights per the City and/or County. All installations will be done with complete and accurate definition(s) and markings, as defined by the City, County, or other governing agency requirements along with the requirements for viewing purposes for both the Client and Homeowners Associations.
