12405B25Q0018/0001 that the site is 43,000 sq ft (0.98) the building is 5,760 sq ft and the retention pond is

43,173 sq ft. I don't know what they mean by the site as it obviously does not include the retention pond, and it does not include the greenhouse area below.

Here is a photo below with a scale on it and the red box does include the retention pond as well as the parking lot.

You will just have to guess with this information in mind as we do not have a precise number for the sq ft of landscapable ground.

Make sure that they know that it is in 2 sections. Sorry that I don't have a precise number.
