Gross floor area <br /> variances of other p�operty owners in this plat and the immediate <br /> vicinity have alreadp been qcanted . <br /> � , Autho[ ization Not Detrimental- � <br /> Actual lot coverage is less than 318, is a sinele story structure , <br /> and will not adversely affect other property owners. The height <br /> of the structure and lot coverage will no t be increased hy allowing <br /> a daylight basement. It is the addition of this basement to <br /> the structure that increases the gross flooc acea ratio and <br /> therefore demands a variance. It also brings the value of <br /> the home in line with surcounding homes . Gross floor area <br /> is defined as the sum of all floors of a b�ilding divided by <br /> the lot area. It is more reasonabl.e to limit lot coverage <br /> a by considering the footprint of the structure . The addition <br /> of a baspnent simply utilizes the space heneath the existing <br /> structure . The stcuctuce still allows for one of the largest <br /> green belts of lawn in the plat. The plat develope[ supports <br /> this variance as it is in keeping with the original plac design. <br /> D.
