Applicant's Name Address & Phone: SAME AS OWNER 5. Description of Request: We would like to convert a detached 3-car garage into a guest cottage. The building is currently heated and sheet -rocked, has electricity, a telephone, and a bathroom. Pam's elderly mother visits 4-5 times per year and because of her heart condition, is unable to climb stairs to the second floor bedrooms of the home. This guest cottage would enable her to have the privacy of her own room when she visits, rather than sleeping on a pull out sofa in the living room. We have an attached two car garage and a 16' X 24' barn, so we don't need this separate garage for storage. (See attached photos.) 6. Present Zoning: R1 7. Site Plan: See attached 8. Drainage Plan: N/A 9. Access to Site: N/A 10. Garbage Container: N/A 11. Description of Construction and proposed materials: We plan to convert our large 3 car garage to guest cottage containing one bath, kitchenette with dining area, living room, one bedroom, mud room and garage. (See attached layout plan.) Detailed construction plans will be completed when we receive approval. 12. Meet with neighbors to discuss proposal: Have met with Barb Dehler, the neighbor to the north of our property, and Dave Cfampitt, the neighbor to the south of our property, and have gained approval from both. 13. Effect of proposal on traffic in area: None Note: There is a "guest cottage" on a property at 16042 Ramsey Blvd, about 100 yards from our home to the southwest. (See attached photo)
