Gaffron stated if the <br /> City Council elects to include them in the hardcover calculations,the property owner would need to <br /> reduce the size of the house or driveway since they would then be over on their hardcover limit by 300 <br /> square feet. Gaffron stated if the exclusion is not added to the ordinance,that 0-75-foot hardcover will be <br /> counted against the 25 percent. <br /> Mayor McMillan agreed that the hardcover calculation should be clarified. <br /> Bremer stated it was her assumption that everything would be counted in the 0-75 foot zone.
