Hi,

I am working with a project that is beneath a municipal park. I am inclined to say this area should not be part of the total site area since there is not any opportunity to build due to space the vegetation takes up. Could this municipal vegetative area be excluded from the total site area?

Also, the area around the municipal park includes a 5' easement and an adjacent loading dock due to the restrictive nature of the space. Would these two areas also be excluded from the total site area?

Finally, in our case, there is a way to use lattice woods as our pavement on the roof. This area can contain up to 25% vegetated space as soil is beneath the woods. Can this be counted as "pedestrian-oriented hardscape area"?

Thank you.
