CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. to Section 78-348 to allow conversion of an existing 1,164 square foot detached garage to a guest house with garage; subject to the following conditions: 1. Council approval is based on the survey by Sathre-Bergquist, Inc., dated July 27, 2016 and updated on August 2, 2016 and building plans submitted by the Applicants drawn by Paul Vogstrom, attached to this Resolution as Exhibits A & B. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require further Planning Commission and City Council review. 2. All exterior lighting associated with the guest house shall be downward cast and not directed off the Property. 3. The Applicants agree to covenant the following regarding the guest house: a. The guest house is for the sole use of the occupants of the principle dwelling, including their domestic employees and nonpaying guests. b. No future subdivision will be approved that places the structure within a lot that has no principal structure, except that the city in its subdivision approval may grant a finite time period in which the oversized accessory structure may remain without a principal structure, in order that a principal structure may be constructed. At the end of this time period, the oversized accessory structure must be removed if no principal structure has been constructed. c. If the Property is subdivided, the oversize accessory structure and principal structure will be located together within a lot that meets the minimum lot area requirement for the given size of accessory building. d. In subdivision approval, the setback required for the oversize accessory structure shall remain. 4. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Applicants, but are permissive only and must be exercised by obtaining a building permit for the new construction and commencing construction of said project. A framing inspection must be completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the approvals will expire on that date (November 28, 2017). 5. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution shall constitute a violation of the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor.
