Hi Steve,
Thanks for the update. I will have 8.5" x 11" copies to you today of the 2D-elevations, site plan, and
landscape plan.
Concerning the FAR, we spent a good amount of effort based on our last discussions of this issue to
arrange the layout such that the building's footprint would not exceed 33% on the rear 50% of the lot and
this number can be verged.
> FAR cannot exceed 33% on the rear 50% of lot. We used the "footprint" of the building -1st floor +
garages to calculate. At 2,828 sq ft we are at 33% on the rear 50%. The second floors are typically smaller
than the 1 st floors, but this number was not used in calculating the FAR for the rear 50% of the lot.
The square feet for each is as follows:
