AAPpl #09-04P, Zimnicki Accessory Apartment, PH 2-10-09 1. Request for Special Exception to Section 7.1.2A for an accessory apartment at 96 Lawrence Road, RR zone. The applicant is proposing to create the apartment in the lower level of the house. The lot size is .96 acres. 2. An accessory apartment differs from an in-law apartment in that an accessory apartment is not restricted to relatives and can be rented. As with all special exceptions, the apartment approval runs with the property in perpetuity. 3. The PZC accessory apartment regulation has specific criteria for the unit, including: ♦ The accessory apartment cannot be larger than 700 sq ft or 40% of the gross floor area (whichever is smaller). ♦ The main unit was constructed prior to September 1, 1990. ♦ the entire structure must maintain the appearance of a single family dwelling; ♦ off street parking for three vehicles must be provided; ♦ Not more than 10% of the existing single family units within 1000 feet of the proposed accessory apartment contain accessory apartments or in-law apartments; ♦ adequate water and sewage disposal must be provided; and ♦ the owner of the dwelling units must occupy either the in-law apartment or the main dwelling unit 4. The original house was built in 1956 and is now approximately 2324 sq ft. The accessory apartment is proposed to be 564.5 square feet, or 24% of the combined gross floor area. The applicant has submitted a plot plan showing the house and pictures of the house. The new apartment would be accessed by a door in the rear of the house as shown in the pictures submitted. 5. The house is served by public water and sewer. If approved, the applicant would be required to a second sewer assessment fee as well as obtain a second garbage container. 6. Chris Dougan, chief building official inspector visited the site today to see how readily this space can be converted into an accessory apartment. He has indicated that more research needs to be conducted by his department before he is able to comment. He has requested that we leave the hearing open so that he can report his findings. 7. There is one PZC-approved in-law apartment within 1000 feet of this subject property. 8. The owner of a house with an accessory apartment must reaffirm every 4 years to the Commission that one of the dwelling units is occupied by an owner of the property. 9. If this application is approved, the Planning Dept has no other requested approval modifications.
