Bob
It was nice speaking with you today. Please click on the following link to access the CUP application packet. You should
check the box for Residential/Residential Accessory Use and complete the application.
Please provide the following information for our review:
1. Completed application forms;
2. $700 application fee&$700 escrow;
3. Sign the Escrow Agreement attached as part of the application packet;
4. 350'Property owner list from Hennepin County;
5. Certificate of Survey. There is a survey on file dated 06/30/08 which reflects a number of"proposed"buildings in
addition to the existing home and detached garage. Ideally you would provide us with an updated certificate of
survey which reflects all of the existing structures and specifically the building to be the subject of the guest
house CUP. An 11"x 17"copy of the updated survey(or a digital copy from your surveyor) which identifies the
building to be the subject of the Guest House CUP would suffice;
6. Other details as you see fit to explain the need for the guest house use.
Upcoming Deadlines:
February 18th at noon for a Planning Commission meeting on March 16th(Council review tentatively on March 23rd)
March 18th at noon for a Planning Commission meeting on April 20th (Council review tentatively on April 27th)
Also, the City Code references regarding the CUP for a guest house is pasted below for your information. Note that a
restrictive covenant will also be required to govern the use of the guest house.
Thank you —Melanie

anticipated flows from such fixtures, and subject to the property owner's executing a covenant providing that the
accessory building will not be:
