Council approves conditional-use permit and variances to allow accessory apartment for elderly resident
Summary
Council members approved a conditional-use permit (CU-25-01) and related variances to convert an existing accessory structure into an accessory apartment so an elderly family member can live on the property. Staff had recommended approval.
At a council meeting, members approved a conditional-use permit application (CU-25-01) and a companion resolution granting variances that will allow an existing outbuilding to be converted into an accessory apartment for the applicant’s elderly father. The applicant, Matthew Travis Martin, was not present. The property was described in the meeting as Parcel H 02051 B on 0.62 acres.
The council heard from Rich, a staff member, who said the accessory structure is already on the property and that the project involves renovating a pole barn and removing studs; because the structure does not meet current setback requirements, the applicant requested several variances. Rich said staff recommended approval. Council members then moved to approve the conditional-use permit and the related resolution; motions were seconded and the council voted in favor.
The approvals allow the renovation and conversion to proceed under the conditions discussed; the resolution addressing the variances was considered a separate vote and was approved at the meeting. No members of the public spoke on the item during the meeting, and the applicant was absent by prior request (the meeting record notes it was his birthday).
