What's the height, lot coverage, and building depth on this design? Curious to see how this would fit in an Alberta context.

Height is roughly 46' (14m) to top of elevator shaft. Front eave is 33.5' Lot coverage ~45%. Building depth (w balc) ~87' (26.5m)

Why remove density fees? 1. To pay for the $180k elevator to get accessible units in a small building 2. These are modest middle income units and shouldn't pay more fees than a 'mansion'

3. The density increase is the same as with multiplex, but these are even less likely to drive land lift 4. The lot coverage and permeable area is the same as a house, so the storm water discharge to the sewer is the same (and potentially better than a plex or existing van special)

The total height is roughly the same as what is currently allowed for a multiplex with roof decks (where the roof deck and access are excluded from the height calc). Ground floor units could be flexible live/work & light commercial/retail.
