STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. The mother-in-law quarters will not be leased.
2. The mother-in-law quarters shall not be on a separate
electrical meter.
Dave and Faye Hofferth have applied for a specific use permit
to allow a mother-in-law quarters in an RS (Residential Single
Family Dwelling) District. The property is located at 8035
Voth Road.
Mr. and Mrs. Hofferth state that the structure would be a 16'
x 32' single story residence for Ms. Hofferth=s 75 year old
mother, Joyce Mitchell. Ms. Mitchell is recently widowed and
lives by herself. While she is currently independent, she does
have several medical issues. Living in separate quarters on
the property would enable Ms. Hofferth to look after her mother
while providing her mother with some amount of privacy and
independence.
Exhibits are attached.
