All dwelling units, including manufactured homes, shall have a width of at least 20 feet for at least 50 percent of their depth. No 17. Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Zoning Code Section 78-1403 limits Lot Coverage by Structures for lots less than 2 acres in area to 15%. For this development the 15% Lot Coverage limitation shall not be applicable. Per the RPUD standards an individual lot Floor Area Ratio (FAR = gross area of all floors divided by gross lot area) of 0.5.would normally be applicable. Applicants have requested flexibility with regards to the FAR, requesting an average FAR of 0.782 based on the extremely small lot sizes averaging 6,661 s.f. The Council finds that this is acceptable given that the individual lots have been reduced in size by excluding wetland buffer areas from the individual lots. This is further justified by resulting in buffer maintenance to be the responsibility of the Homeowners Association rather than individual lot owners. The average FAR calculation of 0.782 is based on the existing site layout and conceptual building designs and footprints as depicted in the various Plans and Drawings attached as Exhibit B. At the time individual building permits are reviewed, proposed individual site plans shall be reviewed for conformity with the conceptual plans attached. 18. Hardcover. By virtue of the RPUD zoning, per 78-1701(4)(a) the property is assigned to Hardcover Protection Tier 4, which allows up to 50% hardcover of the gross lot area. Only the smallest of the proposed lots would appear to approach that limit. The average hardcover estimated by the applicant is based on a 1,660 s.f. house footprint and 700 s.f. driveway, resulting in a 35% hardcover average. With approximately only 20% of the lots being less than 5,000 s.f., the average overall hardcover maximum of 50% should be achievable.
