Neighbors say accessory dwelling at Roberts property lowered values; board to review permits and records
Summary
Neighbors testified that accessory dwelling units and prior approvals changed the use of the Roberts property and harmed nearby property values. The board accepted testimony and asked for records, stressing it will follow the code and the record will remain open through Aug. 27.
Several neighbors told the board they had not been notified of past changes and expressed concern that additional residences on the Roberts parcel would further depress property values. One neighbor said, "They already broke my value of my property down once," and asked how to restore the area to a single-family condition.
A speaker who identified himself as David Langston told the board he bought a legally subdivided 2.5-acre parcel in 1992 and urged the board to follow the full application process and paperwork requirements. The chair and counsel said the board will review permitting history and any court records tied to the 1999 appeal before rendering a decision at the continued hearing.
