Floor Area Ratio Worksheet
FLOOR AREA RATIO (FAR) -- The relationship of building size to lot size, derived by dividing the total building floor
area by the lot size in square feet, yielding a percentage.

A. The combined area of all square footage, as measure from exterior walls of all structures on the property, including all
floors of the structures, garages, basements and attics with more than five (5) feet of ceiling height and covered
porches. Building square footage does not include: Open deck, docks and that portion of covered docks extending
over water and one storage shed of one hundred twenty (120) square feet or less. Any additional sheds will be
included. (See “FLOOR AREA RATIO”).
B. Commercial or industrial: the total area in square feet as measured from the exterior of the outside walls of a building
or structure, and when applicable, the sum total of all floor areas of the principal and accessory buildings or structures
on the project site.

Second Garage
NO - The project involves the redevelopment of a property which will enhance the neighborhood through updated
landscaping and architecture as well as necessary stormwater management.
NO - The site is constrained by the slope, parcel size and extensive lake frontage. Without the sanitary holding tanks,
development would require more variance relief.
NO - The project has been designed to minimize necessary variances. The 'second garage' is merely a Porte Cochere. All
setback variances are small except for the covered walkway, which can be removed if the site is transfered to separate
ownership.
NO - A non-compliant septic system will be replaced by a sanitary holding tank. Compliant stormwater management will be
added on the site and landscaping will be significantly upgraded.
NO - The variances are necessary due to the irregular shape of the parcel and the constraints of the lake surrounding the
house site.
