decks shall be limited to:
1. A total
footprint area less than or equal to the existing footprint area, or a total
footprint area of 6, 300 square feet, and
2. A total shore-parallel coverage equal to
or less than the existing coverage, or up to a total shore-parallel coverage of
65 percent of the shore-parallel dimension of the parcel, measured at the
