RR-IB <br />(2 acre) <br />1^ Area Lot Width Front Yard Side Yard <br />Adj Street <br />Rear Yard <br />Required 2 acres plus 2 <br />add. acres for <br />a guest house <br />200* <br />Existing/ <br />Proposed <br />13+ acres 663*700- <br />The propert) docs meet the minimum area and wdth requirements for a guest house. Further, <br />the guest house and principal residence will be separated b\ more than 60'. i.c. more than double <br />the required side setback. <br />Guest House Variaucc: <br />Guest houses must meet minimum principal building setbacks. The guest house does meet this <br />requirement. Also. Section 10.03. Subd. 9 (D) stales that an accessory structure {yuesi house) <br />shall not be located nearer the front or street lot line than the principal building on that lot. The <br />proposed guest house is proposed to be the same distance to the front lot line as the principal <br />structure. Therefore a variance is NOT required. <br />However, a variance is required for a second oversized accessory structure. An “Oversized <br />Accessory Structure* is defined as an accessory structure of footprint area in excess of 1.000 <br />square feet. Only one oversized accessory structure is allowed on a property. The intent of this <br />is to reduce visual massing of buildings on a site. Section 10.03. Subd 9 (CK2) states: <br />Lot Area <br />9.01 acre or more <br />Max Individual <br />Accessory Structure <br />Footprint Areas on Property <br />3.000 s.f <br />Maximum Allowed l otal <br />of All Accessory Structure <br />Footnrint Areas on Property <br />6.000 s.f. <br />The proposed guest house is approximately 1.500 square feet and the existing bam is <br />approximately 2.000 square feet. The guest house and bam are both accessory structures, <br />however the intent of the guest house is to be a separate dw elling on the property for people to <br />reside. While the letter of the code might be met by constnKting a 1000 s.f. guest house with a <br />SOO s.f. detached garage, on this site the separated garage might add to a perception of clutter on <br />the site whereas the proposed layout with attached garage is relatively compact. <br />*02-2855 Shamil Design Company <br />450 A 480 Orono Orchard Road <br />\'arianceCVR Reitenol <br />I IS2005-P 2 of 3
