PlanningBoard | 2017-05-22 | 8 | Board Member Zuppan said she would not be in favor of restricting the ADU size if it is within the existing envelope. She said she would be in favor of requiring design review if it was visible and over 800 or 850 square feet. She said she supports removing the 750 square foot rule, and that the applicants should be owner occupied. She said the universal design requirements would require more than 600 square feet. Board Member Mitchell said is in full support of adopting the recommendation and requiring owner occupancy. He said he is comfortable with staff making the decisions about design. Board Member Knox White said he would like to see a one year report out of what is being built under the ordinance. He said the intent of the ordinance is to supply low impact housing and requiring owner occupancy to get a permit would be counter to that. He said we should not be afraid of having a mix of styles. Board Member Knox White said he would be happy to move the staff recommendation with Board Member Burton's recommendation regarding tree removal and adding design review for units that abut the street. Staff Member Thomas listed proposed changes: design review for units in a front or side yard, adding an owner occupancy at time of application, adding the certified arborist recommendation for protected tree removal, remove the 750 square foot addition parking requirement, with yearly reporting. Board Member Burton seconded the motion. Board Member Zuppan asked and received confirmation that a basement conversion within the same footprint that exceeded 50% of the original unit would require a use permit. She asked what parking regulations would apply to those units. Staff Member Tai said that it would fall within the area of the ADU ordinance and those parking rules, or exemptions, would apply. The motion passed 5-1 (Curtis). 8.
