CONSENT AGENDA
MINUTES
The minutes of the September 14,1999 meeting were accepted as presented.
CLARIFICATION, LOT 8 OF AMENDED PLAT OF LOT 6A, AMENDED PLAT OF
LOTS 6, 7 & 8, SECOND AMENDED PLAT PINE RIVER SUBDIVISION,
APPROVED BY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT DECEMBER 10,1996. APPLICANT-
JOY LILJESTAM. Senior Planner Joseph noted the minutes of December 10,1996
board of Adjustment regarding this request as well as a memo from Town Attorney
White dated October 4,1999. Paul Kochevar of Estes Park Surveyors, representing
the applicant, reviewed the original variance request of December, 1996. The
development plan presented varied slightly from that approved by Planning
Commission but was basically the same layout with one building per lot. The Board
of Adjustment approval in December of 1996 included a commercial use on the
lower level and a second floor dwelling unit. In developing this plan, the applicant
and Estes Park Surveyors applied the Municipal Code definition that a residential
dwelling may also include an accessory dwelling unit.
Staff noted that the accessory dwelling unit is a use by right for single family
residences. This location, however, has no use by right since it took a variance to
allow the residence. The use here is a mix of commercial and residential. The
second floor includes two kitchens; however it meets the requirements of an
accessory dwelling by definition of size (30% or less of the total area). Staff
explained that this building is not a single family residence as a primary use. The
decision for the Board is only to clarify the intent of the Board on December 10,
1996. Staff noted that the lot size requirement was not affected by an accessory
dwelling unit. The Board granted a density variance for the residential use in a
commercial zoning district.
Member Barker noted it was his recollection that the approval was only for one
second floor dwelling unit on each lot.
Member Newsom commented it was his recollection that the Board granted the
residential use for the second floor and encouraged the use to help with the housing
problem.
