Ozarker Member	# Posted: 14 Aug 2014 07:38pm Reply Absolutely, building up stays in the footprint. And, what defines the roof area, covered space or does it include overhang? Does a bumpout below the roofline with a bow window count as roof area? You might bumpout a tub with a lower glass skylight and window that might pass.
