(a) where the maximum building height is less than 120 feet, the maximum permitted height of such volume may be increased from 25 feet to 33 feet, provided that the lot coverage of all such obstructions does not exceed 20 percent of the lot coverage of the building; and
(b) where the maximum building height is 120 feet or greater, the maximum permitted height of such volume may be increased from 40 feet to 55 feet, provided that the lot coverage of all such obstructions does not exceed 20 percent of the lot coverage of the building.
