Applicant seeks detached accessory dwelling unit at 141 Dry Hill Road
Summary
Mighty Root LLC, represented by Chris Redmond, presented a request for a special exception under Section 23.2(A)(1)(A) to permit a detached accessory dwelling unit at 141 Dry Hill Road in the agricultural zone; the board opened the public hearing and proceeded with its five-question review but took no vote.
Mighty Root LLC presented a request to the Rochester Zoning Board for a special exception to allow a detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU) at 141 Dry Hill Road (Map 247, Lot 8) in the agricultural zone.
Chris Redmond, who identified himself as representing the property owners, said, "My name's Chris Redmond, and I'm representing Dimitri and Elena Makarov." The agenda listed the owners as Dimitri and Alana Makarov; that difference in the transcript was not resolved at the meeting (see clarifying details). Redmond said it "makes sense to just go through the five questions" used by the board to evaluate special-exception requests and began presenting the project background.
The application was filed as case Z25-4: Mighty Root LLC, requesting a special exception from Section 23.2(A)(1)(A) to permit a detached accessory dwelling unit in the agricultural zone at 141 Dry Hill Road. The board opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to proceed through the board's five-question framework; no formal vote or decision was recorded during the portion of the transcript provided.
Redmond described his firm as a design-build company retained by the owners to assist with the project. The transcript records the applicant's initial introduction and the board's procedural direction to proceed through the five questions; substantive testimony and any public comments, findings, or board deliberations on the merits were not included in the excerpt.
Because the matter was in the public-hearing phase, abutters and interested persons will be heard at the time of the application in a subsequent portion of the hearing as the board proceeds through questions and testimony.
