Zoning File ^1864 September 15, 1993 Page 4 Description of Request The applicant proposes the complete reconstruction of a new caretaker residence to replace existing structure built in the ’40s originally as a lakeshorc cabin. Structure is located approximately 50 ’ from the shoreline. The new structure will be located 100’. Note grade level patio is allowed within 75-100 ’ of the shoreline of Tanager Lake. 24 acres of dry buildable area will .support four residential units on property (zoning district requiring a minimum of 2 acres per one residential unit). Footprint of the new caretaker unit is reduced by 350 s.f. Access to this property can be gained from Millston Road just to the east of the Jacob’s driveway. Access can also be gained from the Jacob’s property at the most northern garage. Review Fxhibit F, Weekman notes that the existing septic system that serves the residence is very old and there is no record of a permit ever being issued for the installation of the system. It will be necessary to provide new septic testing for both principal and alternate sites upon application for the building permit. There will be a reduction of some 360 s.f. of total accessory structures on the property with the construction of the new caretaker house. Although there is a reduction, it will be necessary to address new variances as we are dealing with new construction. Issues for Consideration 1, The ordinance dealing with oversized accessory structures does not consider or address special needs of an estate use. Should there be limits on the number of oversized accessory structures? Note that the conditional use permit for guesthouse or caretaker use requires that structures be located so that appropriate area and setbacks are met to satisfy standards of zoning district in case of future subdivision. Other nonhabital accessory structures are controlled by the specific covenants set forth in the code in the case of future subdivision. 2. Other issues raised by Planning Commission. Planning Commission Members may refer to the former approval resolutions for the statement of hardship and unique findings. Tlie folUwing conditions are recommended by staff: 1.Applicant shall be responsible for providing septic testing for a principal and alternate septic treatment area to serve the new residence. As with all conditional use permits dealing with guesthouse or caretaker u.se. your appn>val must include the disclaimer that the unit can never be used for rental purposes while the parcel is still legally combined with the larger homestead parcel. ch
