those of the structure to which the stairs are <br />attached. <br />The owner of an ADU shall provide and maintain <br />access to the exterior entrance of the ADU, <br />including a path at least 4 feet in width from the <br />street to said entrance. The path shall be paved <br />or surfaced with paving 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 the <br />authority to review and approve any proposed <br />access plan prior to occupancy of the ADU. <br />residents and emergency <br />personnel. <br />The “paving or paver/patio <br />stone” requirement is <br />included to provide access to <br />emergency medical <br />personnel, particularly where <br />a wheeled stretcher needs to <br />be used. <br />(g)Addressing. A separate address for the ADU shall <br />be clearly depicted on the dwelling, visible from <br />the street, complying with the requirements of <br />Sectio 97.10, ADDRESS NUMBERS REQUIRED ON <br />BUILDINGS. <br />Staff proposed an address for <br />any 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 <br />collection issues on single <br />family properties, including <br />concerns over organized <br />collection contracts. <br />(i)Mailboxes. Mailbox locations for the ADU shall <br />be mounted adjacent to the existing principal <br />dwelling mailbox (if mail is delivered to the <br />door), or attached to an existing post (if mail is <br />delivered to a curbside mailbox). <br />This is intended to limit visual <br />clutter as well as avoid <br />conflicts with on-street <br />parking, etc. <br />(j)Utility Boxes. The owner of property seeking to <br />add an ADU shall make every attempt to work <br />with private utilities (electric, cable, fiber, <br />telephone, etc.) to place boxes in a clustered <br />location with those serving the principal <br />dwelling, or combine boxes where possible. <br />Again, this language is <br />intended to manage visual <br />clutter, when possible. It is <br />noted that regulation of <br />private utilities is difficult, <br />and this becomes a <br />suggestion, not a <br />requirement. <br />14
