Due to the lot's frontage on Shadywood Road, additional drive-way is <br /> required for the purpose of safe egress and parking. <br /> d. Due to the shape of the lot, nearly half of the lot is in the 0-75' zone. <br /> Therefore, because the house is near the 15% lot coverage limit the <br /> � resulting structure itself accounts for more than 25% of the 75'-250' <br /> zone. <br /> e.
