Rahn indicated it was his understanding from the last meeting that the <br /> consensus of the Planning Commission was that the guesthouse could remain until that particular parcel <br /> was redeveloped. Rahn questioned whether any Planning Commission members had any concerns <br /> regarding the items outlined in the Planner's report. <br /> Abukhadra concurred that it was agreed that the guesthouse could remain until Lot 6 was redeveloped. <br /> Rahn stated it was his understanding,though, that the current access would need to be eliminated. <br /> Abukhadra indicated a final decision was not made on the access at the last meeting,noting there are a <br /> number of trees that would need to be removed if the driveway is not allowed as proposed. Abukhadra <br /> stated the guesthouse is minimally used. Abukhadra noted there would need to be a sharp steep bend if <br /> they are required to relocate the driveway. Abukhadra stated the guesthouse and its driveway would be <br /> removed if that lot is developed. <br /> Kempf stated the Planning Commission cannot assume that the guesthouse is temporary and that it is <br /> possible it will still exist 50 years from now. <br /> Rahn stated any nonconformance issues would need to be dealt with at the time the main house is razed. <br /> Gaffron stated at the time of subdivision,nonconformities are usually dealt with. <br /> Kempf inquired whether the guesthouse has to be removed at the time the main house is removed. <br /> Gaffron stated on a total rebuild, the City's code requires that all accessory buildings be removed or be <br /> made conforming. <br /> Kempf questioned whether the issues concerning relocation of the driveway deal with the amount of trees <br /> needing to be removed as well as access to the garage. <br /> Abukhadra indicated they would need to put a sharp bend in the driveway if they have to relocate it. <br /> PAGE 5 <br />
