constructed of materials and colors similar to <br />those of the structure to which the stairs are <br />attached. <br />The owner of an ADU shall provide and <br />maintain access to the exterior entrance of <br />the ADU, including a path at least 4 feet in <br />width from the street to said entrance. The <br />path shall be paved or surfaced with paving <br />or patio stones. <br />All access routes in this section shall be <br />maintained and clear of debris, snow, ice, or <br />other impediments. Fire officials shall have <br />the authority to review and approve any <br />proposed access plan prior to occupancy of <br />the ADU. <br />both for residents and <br />emergency personnel. <br />The “paving or paver/patio <br />stone” requirement is included to <br />provide access to emergency <br />medical personnel, particularly <br />where a wheeled stretcher needs <br />to be used. <br />(g)Addressing. A separate address for the ADU <br />shall be clearly depicted on the dwelling, <br />visible from the street, complying with the <br />requirements of Section 97.10, ADDRESS <br />NUMBERS REQUIRED ON BUILDINGS. <br />Staff proposed an address for any <br />ADU as: <br /> “1234 Apt. A” <br />(h)Trash Removal. An ADU shall utilize trash and <br />recyclable bins and storage of the principal <br />dwelling, and shall not utilize separate <br />receptables. <br />This is intended to limit collection <br />issues on single family properties, <br />including concerns over <br />organized collection contracts. <br />(i)Mailboxes. Mailbox locations for the ADU <br />shall be mounted adjacent to the existing <br />principal dwelling mailbox (if mail is delivered <br />to the door), or attached to an existing post <br />(if mail is delivered to a curbside mailbox). <br />This is intended to limit visual <br />clutter as well as avoid conflicts <br />with on-street parking, etc. <br />(j)Utility Boxes. The owner of property seeking <br />to add an ADU shall make every attempt to <br />work with private utilities (electric, cable, <br />fiber, telephone, etc.) to place boxes in a <br />clustered location with those serving the <br />principal dwelling, or combine boxes where <br />possible. <br />Again, this language is intended <br />to manage visual clutter, when <br />possible. It is noted that <br />regulation of private utilities is <br />difficult, and this becomes a <br />suggestion, not a requirement.
