The principal <br /> residence and barn are addressed as 450 Orono Orchard Road and the existing caretaker house and <br /> detached garage are addressed as 480 Orono Orchard Road. The two properties were legally <br /> combined in the late 1970s with the different addresses remaining. Staff's research has concluded that <br /> no conditional use permit was granted for the residence and garage at 480 Orono Orchard Road when <br /> the property was legally combined. <br /> The Applicants are proposing to demolish the existing caretaker house and garage and construct a new <br /> guest house. The new guest house will be located where the garage is currently located. City Code <br /> allows guest houses as a conditional use permit. A guest house is defined as a"separate dwelling <br /> constructed on an existing undivided lot for the sole use of the occupants of the principal buildings, <br /> including their domestic employees or their non-paying guests." A condition of approval shall be the <br /> property owner file a restrictive covenant on the property that states the guest house will only be used <br /> PAGE 15 <br />
