Planning board approves accessory dwelling unit at 250 Highview Road
Summary
The Union Vale Planning Board on July 9 approved a special-use permit for a 625-square-foot accessory dwelling unit at 250 Highview Road, subject to owner-occupancy, inspection conditions, and a prohibition on short-term rental.
The Union Vale Planning Board voted July 9 to approve a special-use permit allowing a 625-square-foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) with one bedroom and one bathroom at 250 Highview Road.
The applicant, represented at the public hearing by a presenter (Transcript label: S3), said the family has lived in the house for four years and proposed converting an overflow/computer room and adding living facilities to create a mother-daughter arrangement. "We have been in our house for 4 years... we want to add a stove to that," the presenter said when describing the plan.
Planning staff read a resolution that described the ADU, cited the tax parcel (6862-00-906657) and R-3 zoning, and set conditions for approval. Those conditions require that the ADU be owner-occupied, that the certificate of occupancy include wording making owner-occupancy a continuing condition, that the building inspector may request documentation or inspections to confirm compliance, that the ADU not be used as a short-term rental, and that all applicable fees be paid before permit issuance.
A motion to adopt the resolution was made by Scott and seconded by Larry; the chair called for the vote and the motion carried unanimously. The resolution authorized the building inspector to issue necessary permits and included compliance and inspection provisions.
The board did not specify a numeric roll-call tally in the transcript; the motion was recorded as carried unanimously. The permit issuance is subject to the listed conditions and any required inspections before the certificate of occupancy is issued.
