floor area of less than one thousand one hundred (1,100)
square feet and shall have a minimum of one thousand
four hundred (1,400) square feet total floor area. The
expression “Floor Area” shall mean the total habitable
floor area within a building measured between the
exterior faces of the exterior walls, excluding any
garage, breezeway, porch, veranda, balcony, sunroom,
attic, basement, cellar and any floor area with a
ceiling height less than six and one half (6.5) feet.
