On panhandle lots, the access strip portion shall be excluded when calculating lot depth. 3 Lot Coverage means that percentage of a lot which, when viewed directly from above, would be covered by a structure or structures, or any part thereof, including any area under roof, cantilevered decks, balconies, roof overhangs, and eaves. Paved areas, decks, detached accessory structures 200 square feet and smaller, and other similar structures constructed at or below grade level, or in no event higher than 30 inches above the adjoining grade of said structures, and swimming pools shall be not considered as “lot coverage.” 4 “Floor Area Ratio” means the numerical value obtained by dividing the total floor area of a structure or structures by the total area of the lot on which such structure or structures are located.
