I am trying to understand how to account for native trees. I understand that we do not count the area of the canopy, but what is at ground level.

Is a wood deck part of the "building footprint"?

The deck is not under a roof overhang. It is raised above the ground a foot or so, and I believe there is grass underneath.

We recently recieved our project review for a property. Initially, we attempted to claim a retention pond as an on-site protected land.
