Sunrooms
The applicant is proposing to reduce the footprint of the units and offer fifty-four (54) units
that will include a sunroom. As the reduction in total building footprint will be just less than
the total added sunroom area, the applicant has stated that this will maintain or reduce the
total impervious area. The precise locations of the sunrooms have not been specified at
this time, but the applicant has provided a document showing those units which may be
built with a sunroom. The Administrative Officer will ensure that as the units are built, the
total number of sunrooms does not exceed the proposed 54.
