Concrete patio contractors in Ormond Beach start with the 75 percent line
The city zones its single-family neighborhoods by district. In the R-3 Single-Family Medium Density district, three limits box in the slab. Building coverage tops out at 35 percent. Impervious lot coverage tops out at 75 percent. The smallest lot allowed is 8,625 square feet, 75 feet wide and 115 feet deep. Setbacks are 25 feet in front, 20 in the rear and 30 from a waterbody. Every patio you add eats into that budget.
Take a lot at the minimum size. Seventy-five percent of 8,625 square feet leaves about 6,470 square feet of hard surface to split between the house, driveway, walks and everything else. The city engineer once measured 120 single-family homes and got an average of 2,979 square feet of impervious area per home. So stormwater billing treats 3,000 square feet as one unit. A 20 by 20 patio puts 400 square feet on your tally, and at $8 to $14 per square foot that comes to $3,200 to $5,600. We add up what's already on the lot before we draw the patio. Then we confirm with the Building Division which setback applies to flatwork on your lot.
