The applicant shall, upon completion of the septic system serving the new house on <br /> the property, connect the old house to said new system in a manner acceptable to <br /> the City, and discontinue use of the existing septic system serving the guest house <br /> structure. <br /> 4. The guest house use shall be allowed only for a period of 24 months beginning with <br /> the date of final Council approval of the CUP. At the end of the 24 month period <br /> the property owner shall discontinue the guest house use and shall remove the <br /> structure no later than 30 days after the end of the 24 month period. <br /> 5. The existing driveway connection directly to North Ferndale Road may be <br /> continued only during the 24 month period for which the guest house use is <br /> allowed. Within 30 days after the end of the 24 month period, the driveway <br /> connection to North Ferndale Road shall be eliminated, and the driveways and <br /> entrance regraded to permanently eliminate direct vehicle access to North Ferndale. <br /> 6. Any other conditions the Planning Commission feels are appropriate to ensure <br /> compliance with the conditions of approval. <br /> With regard to the staff recommendations,Mr. Boeder stated that, since the existing <br /> system was functioning, the applicant objected to the requirement that they connect to the <br /> new septic system. While the new home would be ready for occupation by July 11, <br /> Boeder requested that the applicant be allowed to keep the driveway accessing Ferndale for <br /> parking purposes indefinitely, since Lydiard is so narrow. <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> Chair Smith asked if the applicant intended to remove the home in two years after their <br /> son's graduation. <br /> Mrs. Bastiaens confirmed that the home would be removed in two years and that no <br /> improvements were to be made to the residence during that time. <br /> Mabusth indicated that the Ferndale driveway access would be subject to Greg Gappa's <br /> approval. <br /> Mrs. Bastiaens stated that they get many complaints when they, their workers, or guests <br /> park along Lydiard due to the narrowness of the roadway. <br /> Hawn stated that she opposed the application and saw no hardship which would entitle <br /> them to the request. She believed that once the certificate of occupancy was granted, the <br /> applicant could fight the City two years down the road when time for the removals comes. <br /> PAGE 30 of 39 <br />
