Structure Coverage and Landscape Lot Area <br /> <br />The maximum structure coverage permitted in the R-2 District is 25 percent and the minimum <br />landscape lot area is 65 percent. The approximate structure coverage and landscape lot area for <br />Lots 1 and 2 was calculated based on the proposed building pad dimensions and the approximate <br />dimensions of the driveways. The structure coverage and landscape lot area requirements would <br />be verified at the time Building Permit applications are submitted. Based on the submitted plans, <br />all three lots would meet the lot coverage requirements. <br /> <br /> <br />D. Building Height and Density <br /> <br />The maximum building height in the R-2 District is 35 feet. Building height would be verified at <br />the time Building Permit applications are submitted. The applicant has provided example front <br />elevation drawings for the dwellings on Lots 1 and 2 (Attachment A). <br /> <br />The maximum residential density permitted in the R-2 District is 5 unites per net acre. There are <br />approximately 1.6 net acres of land that could be built on after subtracting the wetland area. The <br />proposed three lot subdivision would have a net density of 1.86 units per acre. <br /> <br />E. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) <br /> <br />The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is the sum of the gross horizontal area of all floors of a building <br />divided by the total lot area. Floor area is measured from the exterior sides of the exterior walls, <br />but not including covered porches; decks; any space where the average floor-to-ceiling height is <br />less than six feet; attached or detached garages; and other detached accessory structures.
