The existing floor and development area exceeds what is allowed for the property based on current slope density calculations. The house, pool and other improvements on the site were all constructed with Town approval and permits. Surrounding properties are all developed with single-family residences.

Criteria for review from the Site Development Ordinance include grading, drainage, building siting, pathways, landscape screening and outdoor lighting.
