bedrooms and 3 five bedrooms and range in square footage from 2,200 to 4,600. It should be noted that the Applicant is

are permitted, the Applicant is only building 15 units.

The building will have a floor area, for floor area ratio purposes, of approximately 52,288 square feet, or a 4.11 floor

area ratio which is about 4,100 square feet less than what is permitted.
