#03-2929 October 23,2003 Page 2 Background The proposed plans included a kitchenette with range, sink and refrigerator, which could easily allow this building to function as a small guest house as designed. However, the property does not contain adequate acreage for a guest house CUP (w ould need 4 acres in this 2-acre zone). At the Planning Commission meeting applicant agreed to remove the kitchenette from the proposal. The proposed structure and its associated driveway are all within the 75-250* zone. This building will replace a smaller existing storage building located northeast of the house. Significant portions of the existing residence are within the 0-75* zone. The new accessory building and driveway would increase hardcover beyond the hardcover allotment for the property absent any removals. Applicant submitted a hardcover removal plan that would result in the overall hardcover limit on the property being met, so that no hardcover variance is required. The structure will meet all pertinent setbacks. Planning Commission had no problem recommending approval despite the fact that the property is slightly less than the two acre requirement for the accessory building plumbing CUP.
