§ 111-43. Volume computations.

For the determination of the permit fees, the volume of the structure shall be computed as herein provided.

A. 

Structures with basements. The volume of the building shall include all enclosed dormers, porches, penthouses and other enclosed portions of the structure extending from the basement or cellar floor to the mean height of a pitched roof or the average height to the top of the roof beams of a flat roof.

B. 

Structures without basements. For buildings without basements or cellars, the volume shall be based on the height measured to a level located 1/5 the distance from the first-floor level to the bottom of the footings, but not to exceed 2 1/2 feet below the first-floor level.

C. 

Open sheds. For open sheds and structures of a similar character, the volume shall be measured within the perimeter of the roof for a height from the grade line to the mean roof level.
