September 26, 2024 PC Minutes <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Public Hearing: Scott and LeAnn Neamy – Conditional Use Permit (CUP) request to construct a 900 <br />square foot building addition to be used as an accessory apartment <br /> <br />Gort presented background on the CUP request to construct a 900 square foot accessory apartment as <br />building addition at 17220 Keystone Ave N. The applicant has stated that the purpose of the accessory <br />apartment is to provide care for a family member. When reviewing the application, staff found that the <br />request met the spirit and intent of the ordinance requirement, and the requirements necessary to <br />approve a CUP. Staff recommended approval of the CUP request subject to conditions in the <br />resolution. <br /> <br />Commissioner Petty asked if the proposed building addition will be two stories, and if there was a <br />requirement for an accessory apartment to be a single story. Juba responded that this would be two <br />stories, and that accessory apartments are not required to be one story. <br /> <br />Commissioner Arcand asked about the need for the accessory apartment to be owner -occupied, what <br />would make the accessory apartment different from a regular building addition, and if there’s an <br />inspection timeline attached to the CUP. Juba said that the intention of the accessory apartment is to <br />prevent the single-family home property from being split through the building, and that there likely <br />wouldn’t be a reason to re-inspect the CUP after the building permit is issued. <br /> <br />Commissioner Petty stated that she thinks that Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) should not be limited <br />to the Agricultural (AG) zoning district. Juba stated that this proposal is an accessory apartment, which <br />is allowed in more zoning districts, rather than an ADU. <br /> <br />Rebecca Neamy, a representative for the applicant, introduced herself to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Derr opened the Public Hearing at 7:16 PM <br /> <br />No one spoke. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Derr closed the Public Hearing at 7:16 PM <br /> <br />Commissioner Andress asked if the access was only through the garage, Juba said there would be <br />access through an exterior door and through the garage. <br /> <br />Commissioner Petty made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Arcand, to approve the CUP request <br />subject to conditions in the draft CUP and resolution. <br /> <br />All ayes. <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />The CUP request will be reviewed by the City Council at its October 7 th, 2024 meeting. <br />
