Owners seek special-exception for ADU at 588 Douglas Lane
Summary
Staff said Rudy Allen and Mitzi Lindsey requested design and occupancy standards for a pool-barn accessory dwelling unit at 588 Douglas Lane; a nearby neighbor, Ray Carmen of 560 Douglas Lane, spoke in support. The transcript records project details and a call for any additional public comment; no vote appears.
Staff opened a short hearing on a special-exception request for 588 Douglas Lane, saying the owners, Rudy Allen and Mitzi Lindsey, seek design and occupancy standards for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to be created from a proposed "pool barn." The staff presentation said the property is residentially zoned and contains 10.52 acres and that public-notice requirements were met.
According to staff, the applicants propose converting or building a pool barn described in the packet as "black with a 5 feet 10 roof," with windows and doors; a detached garage would be built to match the primary residence, the packet said, using lap siding, a cedar-shaped roof, brick and custom shutters. Staff also pointed to the portion of the zoning resolution that allows for ADU design guidelines and administrative approval.
Ray Carmen, who identified himself as a neighbor at 560 Douglas Lane, said he and his wife are the only neighbors likely to see the structure and that they support the applicants. "We're both here to support this and ask you to approve it for them," Carmen said.
The chair thanked Carmen and asked whether anyone else wished to speak; no further comment is recorded in the provided transcript and no formal motion or vote appears in the excerpt. The record in the transcript ends after the call for additional public comment; next procedural steps were not specified in the available text.
