Half story means the uppermost floor of a building in which (i) the intersection of the exterior wall and <br /> the roof is not more than three feet above the floor elevation, and (ii) not more than 60 percent of the floor area <br /> within the exterior walls of the uppermost floor exceeds five feet in height as measured from the floor to the <br /> rafters. Floors exceeding these parameters shall be deemed a full story. <br /> Story means that portion of a building included between the upper surface of a floor and the upper <br /> surface of the floor or roof next above. It is measured as the vertical distance from top to top of two successive <br /> tiers of beams or finished floor surfaces and, for the topmost story, from the top of the floor finish to the top of <br /> the ceiling joists or, where there is not a ceiling, to the top of the roof rafters. A story that meets the definition of <br /> a "basement" shall be considered as a basement and not as a story for purposes of determining the number of <br /> stories in a building. <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning & Zoning Coordinator <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Direct Dial: 952.249.4627 <br /> Fax: 952.249.4616 <br /> Planning &2oning Office 952.249.4620 <br /> Email: mcurtisCa�ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Website: www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> 2 <br />
