Lot ('gvera e: Lot coverage is defined as the total ground coverage of all buildings or structures on
a site measured from the outside of external walls or supporting members excluding a maximum of
30" of eaves. The maximum allowed lot coverage within the RS -8 zone is 35% of the net lot area.
When making any necessary corrections to reflect the house dimensions/location, please be sure to
calculate the lot coverage as a percentage of the net lot area. not the gross lot area. Additionally, the
lot coverage calculations list a covered deck: however. a covered deck was not shown on the plans.
Possibly this is referring to the covered porches. Please clearly indicate on the site plan what portions
of the residence are included in the lot coverage calculations.
Lot coverage calculations have been updated as requested. Both current and future (post recorded short
plat) calculations have been included. The lot coverage area has been delineated on the added future Lot
