CANCELED- Site Visit for ZS-009342-2023 Lava Drive Mobile Home Park Planning Files - Mt Sopris Room - El Jebel 1. 237 Deer Trail ADU&Garage ZS-009243-2022 Vince Hooper, Community Development Executive Summary: An application for a Consolidated Special Use Permit to allow for the construction of a detached 844 square foot Accessory Dwelling Unit("ADU") adjacent to the existing single-family dwelling. Project Name: 237 Deer Trail ADU&Garage File No.: ZS 009243-2022 Location: 237 Deer Trail Avenue,El Jebel Area Owner: Jesse Allen and Audrey Allen Representative: Kraemer Land Planning,Garrett Larimer Recommendation: Approval with Conditions. The applicant wished to construct a detached 844 square foot Accessory Dwelling Unit(ADU) adjacent to the existing single family dwelling. The property,when originally created as Lot 19, contained 1.138 acres, in 1973 through the recording of Amended Map of Colorado Country's Red Table Acres. The property was subsequently modified several times. Vince Hooper,Eagle County staff planner, introduced the file and provided a brief introduction. The application was being reviewed under the Special Use Land(SUP)process as the property was less than the required two acre parcel,normally it would be a limited review. The application was set out for a 21-day referral period. Garrett Larimer with Kraemer Land Planning presented the applicant's request. The property was owned by Jesse and Audrey Allen. There was an existing single-family residence on the property that was just over 1800 square feet. The application included an 844 square foot ADU intended to be used by the owners' family members. Also included in the application but not subject to the SUP review was a garage and bedroom addition of about 925 square feet on the opposite side of the existing residence. The application included various other site improvements. There were two existing sheds and a small deck encroachment in the rear yard setback; the application proposes to remove the sheds and reconfigure the deck so the property was in full compliance with the zone district setback requirements. He showed a diagram that identified the lot configuration, lot lines, setbacks, and access. He also showed a rendering of the proposed front elevation. The existing single family residence sat between the two,2-story additions. The applicant agreed with the staff recommended conditions. The proposal 3 01/30/2024 was supported by the closest neighbor who submitted a letter of approval. There would be minimal impacts to the neighborhood. The proposal was consistent with the allowed uses in the zone district and existing development in the neighborhood. Jesse Allen,property owner and applicant stated that he'd lived in the home since 2009. At this time his family needed more room to expand. He wished to stay in the home and hoped to pass it on to his daughters. Mr. Hooper reviewed the surrounding area zone map. The parcel was a legally established parcel of record, originally created in 1973. The property size of 0.05 acres resulted in a legal non-conforming parcel, resulting in a SUP requirement for an ADU. The proposed 844 sq. ft. ADU would be located adjacent to the family home. The referral agency comments included a comment from the Colorado Geological Survey that identified slopes averaging about 20% on the property. The survey mapped the presence of collapse debris deposits leading to recommendation of a site-specific geotechnical investigation be required at building permit. There were no other concerns received by the other agencies. He reviewed the staff findings and indicated the application was in conformance with the standards with conditions. The area of concern related to the geotechnical investigation was identified in the proposed condition#1. The Roaring Fork Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval with conditions. Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked if the subdivision water was supplied by a well. Mr. Larimer stated that there was a common well. Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked if the garage addition went through the regular building permit process. Mr. Hooper stated that it would go through the regular building permit process. Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked about the amount of the transportation and emergency impact fees. Nichol Mosby,Eagle County staff engineer, stated that the fees were based on square footage. Commissioner McQueeney asked about the impact fees in general and if they were a requirement or a condition. Mr. Hooper stated that this type of condition was not required,but staff wanted to notify the applicant that this was something they needed to expect. Commissioner McQueeney believed it seemed a bit redundant and wondered who would follow up on the condition. Mr. Hooper stated that planning staff would follow up to ensure nothing was missed. Chairman Scherr believed that the file was fairly straightforward but wondered how the deck would be modified. Jesse Allen,the applicant, stated that he would do his best to modify the deck in a way that it would still be functional and support their hot tub. Chairman Scherr opened and closed public comment, as there was none. Commissioner Chandler-Henry believed the application was clear and she expressed gratitude for building an ADU as it was a great solution to the housing issues in the county. She agreed with the staffs recommendations with conditions. Commissioner McQueeney agreed with Commissioner Chandler-Henry's comments, and she appreciated the clarity of the application. Commissioner Chandler-Henry moved to approve File No. ZS 009243-2022, incorporating staff's findings and recommended conditions,because this application, as conditioned,meets the standards for approval of a Special Use Permit. Commissioner McQueeney seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. 2.
