MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Tuesday, June 21, 2022 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />1. LA22-000024 SHARRATT DESIGN, 3350 FOX STREET, REQUESTS A CONDITIONAL <br />USE PERMIT FOR A GUEST HOUSE USE. (STAFF: MELANIE CURTIS) <br /> <br />Mike Sharratt, Applicant, was present. <br /> <br />City Planner Curtis gave a presentation on the item, stating the Applicant wishes to construct an addition <br />over the existing detached garage to function as a guest house. The property is just over 7 acres in area <br />within the LR-1A zoning district and the minimum required for a guest house is 4 acres, a conditional use <br />permit (CUP) is required, the existing 1,300 square foot building is conforming with respect to size and <br />location. Staff recommends approval of the CUP conditioned upon the property owners’ agreement to the <br />standard guest house covenants assuring it will not be used for a home occupation, rented, or leased. Staff <br />further recommends an additional condition of approval that the existing 5 bedroom septic system be <br />upgraded appropriately to serve the number of bedrooms in the guest house. <br /> <br />Ressler asked if the City changed something regarding guest houses. <br /> <br />Curtis replied in the negative, noting nothing has happened yet which is why they need a CUP. <br /> <br />Mike Sharratt, 464 2nd Street in Excelsior, is the architect and noted it is pretty straightforward, simply <br />adding 1/2 story to the top of the existing garage to create guest quarters. <br /> <br />Chair McCutcheon opened the public hearing at 7:05 p.m. There were no public comments. <br /> <br />Chair McCutcheon closed the public hearing at 7:05 p.m. <br /> <br />Ressler moved, Libby seconded, to approve LA22-000024, 3350 Fox Street, Conditional Use Permit <br />for a Guest House Use, as applied with Staff recommendations. VOTE: Ayes: 6, Nays 0. <br />
