Definitions <br /> Building footprint means the outline of the total area covered by a building's perimeter at the ground level(to the <br /> block/foundation). <br /> (1)Carports, covered porches and other similar building features which have no exterior walls shall be included as <br /> part of a building footprint by drawing a straight line between the outer edges of all support structures(and the main <br /> building if applicable). <br /> (2) The outer edge of building protrusions, bay windows or other similar features that extend outward from a <br /> building and are less than four feet from the gound shall be considered as part of the building footprint. <br /> Based on your description,the cantilevered cabinets and fireplaces would be included in the footprint if the bottom of <br /> the se structures begin less than 4 feet above the ground. <br /> The roof overhangs extending 30" from the building do not count towards lot coverage as long as they are not <br /> supported by a post. <br /> Mike <br /> Michael P.Gaffron <br /> Senior Planner <br /> City of Orono <br /> (Street Address)2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> (Mailing Address) P.O.
