New High school football bleachers proposes a press Box not exceeding 396 sq. ft. If the roof (accessible by ladder with a railing around it is used for filiming, does the roof sq. ftg. add to the enclosed footage (=792)? It would then exceed the max (500sq. ft) allowed sq. ftg. for a non-accessible pressbox, no?
