Ttfis addition is separated from the main living quarters by an atrium door and <br />consists of a kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. This addition is also <br />serviced by its own furnace, water heater and gas meter. The Planning Commission <br />conducted a public hearing on February 1, 1994, and there was one written comment <br />submitted in favor of the request. Ms. Frolik stated that considering the design of the home <br />and the number of years it has been utilized with an accessory apartment, it is the <br />recommendation of the Planning Commission and City Staff that a CUP be granted to <br />Cathy Gustafson. It is recommended that a term of the CUP require that the property <br />owner occupy one of the units. Studies indicate that this is advisable for two reasons: 1) <br />It prevents, marketing the home on speculation of it being a double rental unit or duplex; and <br />2) Occupancy by the property owner usually ensures the appearance of the structure will <br />bc maintained. <br /> <br />City Council/February 22, 1994 <br /> Page 8 of 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
